The culprit for elephant legs and butterfly sleeves is not oil, but "water"! Learn 3 quick ways to drain water

Do you wake up in the morning feeling your face is fatter, your eyes are puffy, or your hands and feet are cold? Be careful, it might be the water that is to blame. The above situation can be said to belong to "edema-type obesity". People who have this problem will only get fatter and fatter. Because the body's metabolism has deteriorated due to stagnant water, coupled with the poor efficiency of fat burning, it naturally falls into a vicious cycle of obesity. And when it comes to baggy elephant legs and butterfly sleeves, the culprit is actually not "oil" but "water"!

Excess water stagnates in the body, causing edema and coldness

Japanese drainage expert Ishihara Shinna wrote in her book "Drainage Poison! : Say goodbye to obesity, edema and coldness in 14 days" states that when the kidney function responsible for regulating water in the human body begins to deteriorate, the water taken in by the body may not be effectively excreted. If excess water stagnates in the body, it will make the body cold, not only causing edema, but also causing various uncomfortable symptoms accompanied by headaches, menstrual pain, shoulder pain and other pains. Even physical and mental illnesses such as anxiety, insomnia and depression are related to it.

A healthy person urinates about 8 times a day. If it is less than 8 times, it means that the water in the body is not completely discharged. Why is so? It is mainly due to lack of exercise and loss of muscle mass. A lifestyle without enough exercise has caused modern people to lose muscle mass and lower their body temperature, resulting in more and more people having difficulty sweating, urinating less, and their "excretion" ability being greatly reduced.

Women have less muscle mass and consume too much water, which makes their bodies colder

Not only that, but muscles also weaken as we age. Women have less muscle mass than men, and once they consume too much water, their bodies will quickly become cold. In order to build a physique that will not become weak and cold, it is imperative to improve the ability to "excrete" rather than focus on the ability to "take in" and strive to maintain a balance of water in the body.

3 tips to help drain water

To avoid the body's inability to excrete water, Ishihara Shinna recommends learning the following "3 ways to empty the body":

★1. Warm ginger black tea

Warm ginger black tea is very effective in warming the body and is an indispensable factor in drainage. In addition, black tea not only warms the body, but also has an excellent drainage effect. For warming up the body, warm ginger black tea is a truly reliable drink.

How to make warm ginger tea

1. Wash the ginger thoroughly, grind it into paste with the skin on, and then add it to the black tea.

2. If you like brown sugar or honey, you can add it as appropriate. Using sweetness can also easily make people feel full.

Recommended time to drink warm ginger black tea

In the morning: Drink a cup right after getting up, your body will immediately warm up and you will feel more energetic.

Lunch or tea time: Have a cup for lunch and have it with brown sugar for tea.

Before taking a bath: Drink a cup before taking a bath, do half-squat exercises and then take a bath.

★2. Belly wrap

The abdomen is located in the center of the body, which shows its importance. If a person feels cold in the center of the body, the whole body will also feel cold. If a person has a weak constitution, the abdomen will feel cold to the touch. As long as the abdomen is warm, the internal organs will be warm, the functions of the internal organs will be strengthened, and the body's ability to excrete excess water (through urination) will be effectively improved.

★3. Do half squats before taking a bath

Do half squats to increase your basal metabolism before taking a bath, and you will be surprised at how much you sweat. Half squat exercises can also build muscle strength and help combat and eliminate swelling.

【Health Tips】:

Ishihara Shinna reminds you that you can’t just choose one of the above three drainage methods, but you must use all three in parallel to achieve the best results. Just spend a little time every day to get rid of edema and experience the feeling of being as light as a feather.
