Eating a lot of snacks when feeling irritated at work, continuing to eat snacks to relax after get off work, and having a pack of fried chicken and a movie album as a midnight snack seems to be the way for today's middle-class men and women to relieve stress, but it also buys themselves a one-way ticket to the end of "obesity". Friends, it's time to jump out of the car! Chinese medicine practitioners point out that eating the wrong things may cause obesity. If you want to lose weight, you can start with 9 small things in your daily life.

If you eat the right things, you can successfully get rid of obesity and stop getting fat.

Chinese medicine practitioner Zhang Wenxin said that Chinese medicine believes that the reason for obesity is mostly related to spleen and stomach dysfunction. The body is prone to accumulate fat and excess water that cannot be dispersed. "Strengthening the spleen and promoting diuresis" has become the basis of Chinese medicine in dealing with obesity. Medicinal materials such as Poria cocos and corn silk can promote diuresis and eliminate dampness. Medicinal materials that reduce stomach fire and clear liver fire are also used to help balance the autonomic nervous system, stabilize emotions, and thus suppress appetite.

It is recommended that people who want to lose weight successfully should seek diagnosis from a professional doctor, adjust their body according to their physical condition, and control their diet and exercise more often. In particular, they should be careful about what they eat. Obesity pathological products such as phlegm and dampness are mostly related to eating the wrong things. Only by having a correct diet can you lose weight healthily. Here are 9 small things you can do in your life.

1. Make good use of pots and pans with less oil: Use more pots and pans that can reduce oil, such as ovens, microwave ovens, slow cookers, electric cookers, non-stick pans, etc. Try to reduce frying and deep-frying methods for cooking.

2. Cut into pieces to prevent oil from sticking: Change the way you cut vegetables to reduce the area that absorbs oil. For example, the oil absorption rate of vegetables cut into pieces is lower than that of vegetables cut into thin strips or long strips.

3. Say no to thickened soups: Thickened soups contain a lot of starch products, which are not only high in calories but sometimes also high in salt. It is best to replace them with clear soups. In addition, hot pot soup bases are also not allowed.

4. White meat is better than red meat: White meat such as chicken, fish, and seafood has lower fat than red meat such as pork, beef, and lamb.

5. Smart eating order: When eating, start with clear soup, then eat vegetables, seafood, and finally meat.

6. Adding ingredients to boiled water: If you want to lose weight, you must drink more water, not just wait until you are thirsty to drink. But remember not to drink ice water as it will damage your spleen and stomach. If you want to cool down, put some lemon slices, orange slices or the white peel of watermelon in the water. It will not only enhance the taste, but also effectively cool down and reduce inflammation.

7. Eat less starch for dinner: Eat less starch for dinner to avoid promoting body fat synthesis and making it difficult to consume calories. It is recommended to focus on vegetables and protein foods.

8. Be careful that drinking alcohol is like drinking oil: every gram of alcohol produces 7 calories, and every gram of fat produces 9 calories, so some people nicknamed wine "liquid bread". Be careful of obesity if you drink too much.

9. Ingredients that strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis: You can eat more lentils, apples, yam, white fungus, radish, winter melon, coix seed, etc., which are all ingredients that can help the body strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis. Especially white fungus is not only low in calories but also rich in gelatin.
