Control your appetite in autumn! 7 Acupoints Mission Accomplished

Does your appetite whet as autumn arrives? Do you just have an irresistible urge to eat? Be careful! If you are not careful, your body will start to swell up like a balloon. Chinese medicine practitioners say that it is not difficult to reduce appetite and avoid eating too many calories. You can achieve the effect by pressing specific acupoints that control appetite.

In autumn, appetite increases. As the weather turns cooler, appetite also improves. How to reduce appetite is one of the key points of weight loss in autumn and winter.

Chinese medicine practitioner Chen Meifei pointed out that as the weather gradually turns cooler, the human body's demand for calories often increases in order to maintain body temperature and help the body stay warm, and naturally the appetite also increases. In such a situation, if people do not control their diet, indulge their appetite, continue to eat high-calorie foods, and do not like to exercise, their bodies will begin to deform without them noticing.

In addition, during autumn and winter, people generally like to replenish their bodies through a lot of food supplements, which is also one of the main reasons for body deformation. In order to avoid eating too much and gaining weight, people can press specific acupoints to reduce appetite and prevent overeating.

Pressing around the navel is the most effective way to reduce appetite and relieve edema

In fact, there are many acupoints around the abdomen, which have certain effects on suppressing appetite, improving the body's digestive function, helping to eliminate edema, and strengthening the stomach and intestines. Before meals, people can use their fingertips to press lightly in a clockwise direction with the navel as the center point. It can effectively reduce appetite, help gastrointestinal motility and promote digestion.

Regularly pressing the Daheng, Shuifen, Tianshu and other acupoints around the abdomen can suppress appetite and eliminate edema.

[Water Point]: Located one thumb width above the navel. Pressing this acupoint can help eliminate edema and avoid obesity caused by consuming cold drinks.

[Tianshu Point]: Two inches to the left and right of the navel, about the width of three fingers put together. Regularly pressing this acupoint helps promote fat metabolism, which is most effective in preventing abdominal fat accumulation. It also increases gastrointestinal motility and avoids constipation.

[Daheng Point]: It is located about 4 inches away from the navel, about the width of 5 fingers put together. Pressing this acupoint can help eliminate old stool in the body, relieve constipation symptoms, and reduce weight.

Pressing the acupoints on the legs is effective in suppressing appetite

The acupoints on the legs are mostly related to the water metabolism of the lower body. Regularly pressing the acupoints on the legs can help improve edema caused by poor blood circulation in the lower body and achieve the effect of eliminating edema. In addition, by massaging the acupoints on the legs, blood circulation can be smoother, reducing the occurrence of cold hands and feet.

Pressing the Zusanli point can help reduce appetite.

Zusanli: It is located in the depression below the knee, about 3 inches below, about the width of 4 fingers put together. Regularly pressing this point can help reduce appetite, but it should be noted that it should be pressed after a meal to be effective. If you press it before meals, it will stimulate appetite and cause a significant increase in appetite.

Xuehai point is closely related to the blood circulation in the lower body. Regularly pressing this point can help eliminate the problem of edema in the lower body.

[Xuehai Point]: It is located approximately 2 inches above the inner side of the knee, which is about the width of 3 fingers put together. Pressing this acupoint can help improve blood circulation in the lower body and eliminate edema.

Double acupuncture points on the ear can effectively reduce appetite

Chinese medicine practitioner Chen Meifei said that Chinese medicine believes that the ears are closely connected to the meridians and internal organs of the human body. Stimulating the "Ear Gate" and "Hunger Point" acupoints can help regulate the brain's emotions and the satiety center of the hypothalamus, thereby achieving the effect of stabilizing emotions and suppressing appetite.

The hunger point and the Ear Shenmen acupoint both have the effect of suppressing appetite and relieving tension.

[Er Shen Men]: In addition to its sedative, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, it is very helpful in relieving otitis media, toothache, tinnitus and other symptoms. It also has the effect of suppressing appetite and relieving emotions.

[Hunger point]: Regularly pressing this point can help control food intake and reduce hunger.

【Tip from Chinese medicine practitioners】:

When people are performing acupoint massage, they must pay attention to the strength to avoid excessive force and causing physical harm. Generally speaking, the best way to apply force for acupoint massage is to press with the fingertips, and the strength should be controlled until you feel a slight soreness.

If you want to achieve a better soothing effect, you can apply a hot towel to the area to be pressed before performing acupoint massage, which will help increase the effect of acupoint massage.

In addition, it should be noted that even if people have a general understanding of the location of acupoints, it is still not suitable for them to perform professional medical procedures such as scraping and cupping on their own. You should still seek professional medical diagnosis and treatment to avoid irreparable harm.
