To combat obesity and eliminate edema, you must press these 4 major acupoints! Female Chinese medicine practitioner: This trick doubles the effect before pressing acupoints

For many women, losing weight can be a long-term battle. In order to combat obesity, many people have tried various methods, from dieting, fasting, to using special food ingredients to lose weight, but the results are often ineffective, which makes people feel very frustrated. In fact, if you want to have a good figure with a slim and well-proportioned figure, you don’t necessarily have to work so hard. Chinese medicine practitioner Chen Meifei said that massaging four specific acupoints can promote metabolic rate, eliminate excess water in the body, and reduce edema, thereby achieving the effect of weight loss.

Chinese medicine practitioner Chen Meifei said that modern people's sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise have caused the body to be in a state of poor metabolic rate and poor blood circulation. If we do not avoid certain foods and control our appetite, and consume excessive processed products and high-calorie foods, it will easily cause excess water and fat to be unable to be excreted from the body, and problems such as edema and obesity will follow. If you want to lose weight successfully, in addition to diet control, improving metabolic capacity and promoting blood circulation are also very important keys.
