The coming summer has made some citizens a little anxious, how to deal with the fat that has been hoarded for a winter? Many citizens have begun to have the idea of losing weight, and dieting is a method that everyone feels is more "persistent" than exercise. However, in fact, most of the weight lost through dieting will regain after resuming the diet, or even become higher than the original, and dieting will also cause harm to the body. To deal with the topic of weight loss, TCM doctors also give their own advice.
Ms. Xiang, a citizen, has been trying acupuncture to lose weight for a month, and has lost 4 pounds without dieting and exercising. I am very satisfied with this effect, and because of the combination of taking Chinese medicine, I also feel that my sleep and stomach have improved, and the state of the whole person has improved. "I can lose 3~4 pounds in a month, and acupuncture will have a little appetite suppression effect, little impact on the gastrointestinal tract, and it can also improve sleep."
Wang Yueping, the attending doctor of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Community Health Service Center of Laoximen Street, said that acupuncture and thread slimming are the more mainstream Chinese medicine weight loss methods in recent years, the main thing is a "green", the main principle is to control appetite through acupoint stimulation, promote fat metabolism, regulate endocrine, and under the premise of not overeating, there will be a certain amount of weight loss, and the effect of thread embedding will be more obvious than acupuncture, which can reduce the number of visits to the hospital, but the pain will generally be stronger than acupuncture.
"There are many clinical studies that have found that acupuncture can promote the increase in the level of leptin secreted by our hypothalamus, which can suppress our appetite and control our weight. Thread embedding is an upgrade of acupuncture, and both acupuncture and thread embedding are green therapies and are very healthy fat loss methods. Because we bury an absorbable thread in your acupuncture points, it can be in your body for about 10 days to directly stimulate your acupuncture points. Compared with acupuncture, the effect is stronger. Most people are able to adapt to it, it has no side effects, it is a pure green therapy, there is no medicine, just some slight soreness and pain in the acupuncture points. ”
At the same time of losing weight in traditional Chinese medicine, if it can be combined with a balanced diet and moderate exercise, or supplemented by drinking traditional Chinese medicine, the effect will be more obvious. "In addition to the usual scientific diet and reasonable and regular exercise, we can also cooperate with our traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods, clinically we have observed that all obese patients, most of the physique is spleen deficiency phlegm dampness, usually manifested as drowsiness, fatigue, drowsiness, dizziness, tongue sticking out are fat, thick. Some are white and some are yellow. For such a group, we recommend traditional Chinese medicine, if you can't drink it, we drink our center's tea substitute drink, we have fat reduction tea, Poria cocos tea, are good spleen and dampness substitute tea drink. ”
The theme of this year's World Obesity Day is "Fight Obesity, Refuse to Carry the Weight", which aims to call on everyone to take action to tackle the world's obesity problem. In fact, obesity is not only affecting aesthetics, obesity is a disease, "fat" is true, obesity is related to more than 50 diseases, is a stumbling block to health. Regardless of traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, "keep your mouth shut and open your legs" is the most effective and safest way to lose weight.
