Secrets to combating the three major types of obesity! Chinese medicine practitioner Zhang Jiabei: There are secrets to defeat upper, lower, and middle-large types of obesity

Obesity is a chronic disease! In particular, overeating, excessive calorie intake and lack of exercise will cause fat accumulation and form fat-type obesity. Even if you are in your youth, you will look like an auntie. Chinese medicine practitioner Zhang Jiabei said that the weight loss methods are different depending on where the fat is distributed. Therefore, combating obesity depends on the location of fat distribution. Only by aiming at the bull's eye can the fat-loss effect be improved.

Obesity can be roughly divided into edema, muscle and fat types. Among them, fat type obesity is most closely related to the functioning of the internal organs. Severely obese people need treatment to reduce the phenomenon of fat accumulation, and thus prevent the occurrence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and three highs.

Zhang Jiabei, a part-time Chinese medicine practitioner at Cathay Hospital's Postpartum Care Home, said that fat is distributed throughout the body, but depending on individual physical conditions, fat is particularly prone to accumulate in different parts of the body, causing localized obesity. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, local fat distribution will occur due to blockage in the upper, middle and lower parts of the body, resulting in bloated obesity in the upper body, waist and abdomen, and buttocks and legs respectively. Most people will have local obesity in 2 to 3 areas.

Fighting obesity depends on the location of fat distribution. Only by aiming at the bull's eye can you improve the effect of fat loss.

Upper body obesity: Cure allergies and respiratory diseases first

If we talk about obesity in a single part of the body, people with blocked upper body fat accumulate in the upper body, and their body shape appears as an inverted triangle with a broad back and strong waist. Due to their physical constitution, these people often suffer from respiratory diseases such as allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

To improve fat-type obesity caused by upper-jiao diseases, you need to first treat the symptoms and adjust your physical condition. Normal body functions can naturally prevent fat accumulation. In terms of diet therapy, although some people claim that coix seed can regulate immune function and improve respiratory symptoms, it is very high in starch and is not suitable for large-scale intake by people who are losing weight.

Middle and large obesity: Don’t eat 3 hours before going to bed

People with moderate to wide obesity are mostly caused by obstruction of the middle burner, spleen deficiency, and gastrointestinal dysfunction. No matter they have eaten a full meal or not, they will feel bloated. And if they do not deliberately lose weight, their weight before and after the menstrual period can differ by at least 1 kilogram.

Chinese medicine practitioner Zhang Jiabei said that the method of eliminating waist and abdominal fat depends on physical condition. In addition to medication, people with spleen deficiency need to stay away from heavy flavors in their daily diet, not eat too salty food, and not eat 3 hours before going to bed. According to Chinese medicine, you should lie in bed and wait to fall asleep before 10:30 p.m., which means you should not eat after 7:30 p.m.

If a person has gastrointestinal disorders, is obese and prone to diarrhea, and if the stool is watery, you can use the Chinese medicine Sini Decoction with modifications, and eat more onions, ginger and garlic for diet therapy to regulate the spleen and stomach. If the stool contains food residues, treatment can only rely on Chinese medicine such as Baohe Pills, but the dosage must be controlled to avoid over-supplementing and causing constipation or mouth ulcers.

In your daily diet, you should stay away from heavy flavors, not eat too salty food, and do not eat 3 hours before going to bed.

Lower body obesity: Cinnamon improves metabolic capacity

As for fat obesity or edema in the lower body, it is mostly caused by kidney deficiency and obstruction of the lower part of the body. Jisheng Shenqi Pills are often used in Chinese medicine to regulate the physical condition. Cinnamon can be added to the normal diet to help metabolize excess water in the lower part of the body. In addition, high-quality protein can be supplemented or the Yinlingquan point on the inner side of the calf and the Shuidao point below the navel can be massaged to help eliminate fat and obesity in the lower body.
