Obesity due to stomach heat and phlegm stasis
Some people have the habit of drinking and eating spicy food, and spicy snacks on the street are often the first choice for female friends when they go shopping. In fact, drinking and eating spicy food is easy to help heat up, so if there is fire in the body, the more you eat ice, the more thirsty you are. After a long time, it is easy to cause stomach heat phlegm and blood stasis obesity, which is caused by stomach heat (that is, stomach fire), mostly due to evil heat; According to the research, it can be said that 36 ~ 38% people belong to this type, and most of them are men.
This kind of obese people have strong muscles, are thirsty easily, and eat a lot, and like to eat ice. Even eating ice can't reduce the stomach fire of the body. Although such people account for a large part of obese people, they are the easiest to lose weight, and the speed of weight recovery is not high.
Traditional Chinese medicine gives this kind of people a way to lose weight: clearing away heat and dampness, clearing the bowels and relaxing bowels. In the choice of food, we should choose Chinese cabbage, cabbage, celery, lettuce, bamboo shoots, water shield, lotus root, bitter gourd, purslane, evergreen, water chestnut, pear and so on. Food choices include some cold clams, Chinese cabbage seaweed soup, five-juice drinks, cold lotus roots, canned bamboo shoots, fried purslane with eggs, fried bitter gourd with pork and so on.
In addition, auricular acupuncture or acupuncture at Shenmen point can also be used to suppress appetite and reduce calorie intake.
