Not only does stress cause gastrointestinal discomfort, but it can also cause stress-induced obesity! Chinese medicine doctor Liao Qianhui: 3 hawthorn fat-reducing teas to prevent obesity

Office workers are under tremendous pressure from work. If the pressure accumulates over a long period of time without any special way to relieve it, it may cause illness, such as affecting the skeletal muscle system and causing muscle soreness. It may also cause anxiety and tension due to high pressure, resulting in gastrointestinal discomfort. They may even be irritable and depressed. The result of busy work and staying up late is liver qi stagnation and stress-induced obesity. Chinese medicine practitioner Liao Qianhui designed three hawthorn fat-burning teas to help people who are under a lot of pressure to nourish the liver, relieve liver depression, and eliminate stress-induced obesity.

Hawthorn is a star food for weight loss and fat burning

Chinese medicine practitioner Liao Qianhui said that hawthorn tastes sour and sweet, is slightly warm in nature, and enters the spleen, stomach, and liver meridians. It has the effects of helping digestion, eliminating accumulation, and promoting blood circulation and relieving blood stasis.

【Doctor's Tips】:

Chinese medicine practitioner Liao Qianhui pointed out that Chinese medicine believes that "the liver is responsible for the regulation of qi". If there is too much stress or depression, it will hinder the circulation of liver qi, causing liver qi stagnation, which can easily form pathological products of phlegm and blood stasis, causing liver qi stagnation type obesity, which is also known as stress obesity. If you allow yourself to overeat and consume more high-calorie foods due to excessive stress, obesity will cause frustration and dissatisfaction with your appearance, which will become a vicious cycle and make it more difficult to lose weight successfully.

In addition, although hawthorn can help digestion, people who are prone to stomach pain are best to choose fried hawthorn to reduce irritation to the stomach, and do not drink excessively.
