The right weight loss concept should be based on health. Before we lose weight, it is best to be evaluated by professional medical personnel to understand whether we are really obese, whether we really need to lose weight, and determine the cause of obesity, and then carry out targeted conditioning.
For now, although there are many ways to lose weight, the most common is dieting. However, the results of dieting to lose weight are not as good as we expected, because sticking to a diet for a long time does make you lose weight, but once you return to normal eating habits, it will rebound.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the biggest problems caused by obesity are "liver depression" and "spleen deficiency".
Liver depression causes insufficient bile secretion, and spleen deficiency leads to weakened pancreatic function, and bile and pancreas are the two cadres who dissolve excess fat in the human body.
In order to restore the function of the liver and spleen to normal, the first thing to ensure is the smooth flow of qi and blood, which comes from sufficient nutrition.
This is also the root cause of the rapid weight regain after dieting and dieting people return to a normal diet, even exceeding their pre-weight weight. What's even more terrifying is that long-term dieting makes qi and blood metaplasia ungenerate, which not only affects the health of the liver and spleen, but also hinders the normal operation of other organs in the body, which leads to various chronic diseases, and in severe cases, it will also induce cancer.
Our dissipation method of liver depression is: often rub the liver meridian "Taichong" to "between the lines", people with too much thigh fat, it is best to use the thumb from the root of the liver through the leg to the knee fossa Ququan acupoint 100 times, this is usually a very painful meridian, knock the "belt pulse" 300 times a day, use the fist peak or knuckle to knock the outer thigh gallbladder meridian for 3 minutes, dial the "Yangling Spring" for one minute, and knead the "ground tendon" for three minutes. In this way, the problem of "liver depression" will be solved quickly.
Liver depression is also the main cause of many gynecological diseases such as breast hyperplasia, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, as well as dysmenorrhea, melasma, migraine and other diseases are also closely related to liver depression.
Knocking on the "belt pulse" is good at eliminating the "swimming ring" (waist fat), knocking on the gallbladder meridian is easy to reduce buttocks and thigh fat, these two methods are actually one method, both are dredging the gallbladder meridian, because the "belt pulse" is also a section of the gallbladder meridian in the abdomen. If these two methods are used, for a period of time, there is no effect (there should be more stool or a slight decrease in appetite). Then let's use the second trick, starting with strengthening the spleen meridian.
Spleen deficiency most affects the digestive function of the stomach and intestines, the stomach is distended after eating, drinking some water also stops in the stomach and does not move, and the stool is always weak to go down. The fat on such a person is as soft as a ball of cotton, his legs are heavy and he is reluctant to step, and he always wants to sleep in the daytime.
Spleen deficiency can be supplemented by food, the best food is yam barley porridge, stomach cold can go barley, stomach heat can go to yam, replaced with mung beans. Mung bean barley porridge is the most damp and hot, and it is the most symptomatic for people with liver and spleen deficiency and yellow and greasy tongue.
If the stomach is cold, afraid of cold and people with spleen deficiency, Aconite Lizhong Pill should be the first choice, this medicine goes to cold and dampness and nourishes the stomach, helps the qi and strengthens the spleen. If you eat a little bit and feel full immediately, it means that the heart is weak and the qi and blood supply to the stomach for digestion is insufficient. At this time, tonifying the heart is to strengthen the spleen, the cypress heart pill is the most worthy of this task, this medicine tonifies the heart and nourishes the liver, calms the nerves and laxatives, if you are always restless, short of breath and fatigue, people who are difficult to stool take this medicine is the most appropriate.
Eat more jujube on an empty stomach every day not only to nourish blood and strengthen the spleen, but also to invigorate qi and laxative, jujube has strong blood tonic power, jujube has strong blood activating power, and it is better to take jujube in summer. Some people say that after drinking yam and barley porridge, they have bloating, thinking that they are weak and unable to replenish, but in fact, it is because you have too much turbid qi in your abdomen and are unable to discharge it on weekdays, and this porridge is the fastest to replenish qi.
Qingqi will inevitably drive away turbidity, and the two qi will fight, and it will be difficult to get out for a while, and you will feel full and bloated. At this time, drink a bowl of white radish soup, add a little pepper to the cold stomach, and the natural swelling will be relieved with the fart, and the abdomen will be happy. Drink yam barley porridge again, and you will feel that it will be fine. In addition, it is not difficult to regularly massage the calf and spleen meridians, and then focus on stimulating the Gongsun acupoints, combined with internal porridge medicine.
I talked about regulating the spleen and stomach for a long time, but I didn't talk about weight loss. In fact, the spleen and stomach function is strong, and losing weight is a free thing.
There are many friends around me who can lose weight smoothly by just knocking on the pulse and pushing the abdomen, but there will also be people who do not have a good effect. Actually, it doesn't matter, there are many additional benefits to be gained by using these methods. Inadvertently removing a chronic disease may be more valuable than losing weight.
It is best to start with the liver and spleen, and use the "supplement" method to increase the excretion function of the two, rather than blindly "reducing" it, so as to reduce your lifespan.
Thin should also be thin and healthy, thin to be strong, thin to be spiritual. If you lose weight to the point that your face is gray, weak, listless, your skin is saggy, and you look sick; Or if you really have the problem of body dysfunction, it is really more than worth the loss.
