Middle age is the period of weight loss control, especially when the pressure is too great, overeating will easily lead to waist and abdomen obesity and pose a threat to physical and mental health. So the health crisis of middle-aged obesity can not be ignored! /kloc-Fluttershy (a pseudonym), aged 0/43, is a mother of two children. After giving birth to her first child 20 years ago, she weighed 50 kilograms, but after giving birth to her second child, her weight increased to 55 kilograms. Last year, due to work pressure and overeating, her weight began to soar, breaking through the 60 mark, with a prominent stomach and a large figure.

Work pressure, overeating, weight can easily start to rise linearly. It was in the health examination that Fluttershy found the scarlet letter, high cholesterol and mild fatty liver, which made her in her forties feel threatened, so she went to the clinic to seek Chinese medicine to lose weight. At the first visit, the doctor found that her weight was as high as 62.3 kg, and her body fat was as high as 35.9%, and most of the fat was distributed in her waist and abdomen, so she was a "fat waist and abdomen" figure.

High pressure and spicy roasting form "waist and abdomen obesity"

In response to this case, Liao Wanrong, a Chinese medicine practitioner, said that working under high pressure for a long time will make the body secrete "stress hormones", which will send a signal to quickly convert the intake of calories into fat and store it to fight against stress.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, stress will lead to qi stagnation in the body, resulting in "stagnation of liver qi"; Once the liver function is abnormal, it will affect the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, it often uses food to relieve stress, especially spicy, fried, barbecue and other foods, so that stomach fire is strong. The so-called "stomach heat will eliminate the valley", that is, the bigger the stomach fire, the easier it is to get hungry, the more things you eat, and you can't control your appetite, which leads to overeating, and over time, it leads to "obesity constitution with liver and stomach stagnation". People with this constitution tend to accumulate fat in the waist and abdomen, forming a broad figure (apple-shaped).
