1, weight loss habits
Choose the right drinking time
It is recommended to drink more water. And drinking water can also lose weight. Drinking a cup of warm water after getting up in the morning can stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis and excrete metabolites in the body, but the amount of water you drink every day should be controlled. Generally speaking, it is most appropriate to take 2000 ml ~3000 ml every day. If you drink too much, it may increase the burden of renal function, and it will also cause too much water in the body, which will affect digestion and lead to edema. At the same time, remember not to drink water or drink less water before going to bed to avoid edema the next day.
Eat more fruits and vegetables to eliminate edema.
If you want to lose weight, you must eliminate edema, expel excess water from the body, and make the intestines smoother. Therefore, it is recommended that you eat more diuretic and detumescent foods, because these foods not only help to expel excess water from the body, but also maintain the normal operation of kidney function. You know, if you have too much urine, the toxins in your body will be excreted and your metabolism will be strengthened. Can't you lose weight? Recommended foods for diuresis and detumescence: celery, celery seeds, green tea, fennel, parsley, spinach, cucumber, tomatoes, oranges and other fruits and vegetables.
2, acupuncture weight loss taboo
To lose weight during lactation, we should adopt a green and healthy diet combined with soothing exercise to lose weight. Although acupuncture weight loss and others are also healthy weight-loss methods to some extent, they are not suitable for breast-feeding to lose weight.
According to experts, Chinese medicine believes that obesity is a syndrome of insufficient essence and excessive essence. Deficiency of essence and qi is mainly qi deficiency, and the disease location is mainly spleen. Under the guidance of the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture weight loss is a weight-loss treatment method to balance yin and yang, regulate viscera, run qi and blood, and dredge meridians by needling specific meridian points. If we want to use the principles of modern medicine to explain, the weight-reducing effect of acupuncture is mainly achieved by regulating the nervous system, endocrine system, water and salt metabolism and lipid metabolism. On the one hand, it can inhibit patients' over-active appetite and over-active gastrointestinal digestive function, thus reducing energy intake; On the other hand, we can promote energy metabolism by enhancing energy consumption and promoting lipolysis, so as to achieve the purpose of losing weight.
Acupuncture weight loss, as a treatment, also has its indications and contraindications. Experts said that acupuncture weight loss is only suitable for simple obese people, and patients with secondary obesity caused by other diseases should treat the primary disease first. In addition, women whose menstrual period has not returned to normal after delivery or abortion, lactating women and obese patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, liver and kidney failure, tumors, hematological diseases and other serious diseases are also not suitable for acupuncture weight loss's therapy. In terms of age, it is better for young people aged 18 to 55 to pass through acupuncture weight loss, because at this age, the human body is relatively sound in all aspects, and it is easier to adjust various metabolic functions of the mechanical body through acupuncture.
Experts said that according to statistics, acupuncture weight loss's effective rate is above 80%, but in recent years' clinical experience, she found that it is almost impossible to use acupuncture weight loss for obese patients who lose weight successfully or effectively after taking diet pills for many times. She analyzed that it may be because the body of such patients has been stimulated by drugs many times and is not so sensitive to the stimulation of acupuncture.
Lose weight during lactation, and menstruation does not recover after abortion, which is not suitable for acupuncture.
Experts say that many new mothers are eager to lose weight just after their confinement. "Women who have given birth to babies have gradually recovered their endocrine levels. According to clinical experience, the effect of acupuncture weight loss during this period is really ideal. " However, she reminded new mothers who plan to go through acupuncture weight loss to try again after weaning their children. "Because acupuncture weight loss needs to adjust its diet, such as temporarily replacing pork, beef and mutton with fish and chicken, but for women who are still breastfeeding, this may affect the nutritional composition of milk, so wait until the children wean themselves."
In addition, women who are in menstrual period or postpartum and whose menstrual period has not returned to normal after abortion are not suitable for acupuncture weight loss for the time being. Experts explained that this is because acupuncture weight loss needs to adopt the formula of abdominal acupuncture "returning blood to yuan". "Abdominal acupuncture theory holds that the formation of human innate essence to embryo depends entirely on the navel system. The abdomen centered on Shenque not only has a known circulatory system related to the whole body qi and blood operation, but also has an advanced whole body regulation system, which can regulate the endocrine system, nervous system and metabolism. At the same time, it can also improve the physical fitness of patients. However, women who are in menstrual period or postpartum and whose menstrual period has not returned to normal after abortion may have an increase in menstrual flow, so treatment should avoid this period.
