Seaweed: Bitter, salty and cold in nature, entering the liver, stomach and kidney meridians, especially. ......
The absence of a large number of drugs in Chinese herbal medicines is directly related to the difficulty of losing weight, but the viewpoints of "slimming" and "eliminating human fat and meat" are recorded in the literature, which is really positive from the practical point of view of slimming. Now just a few (Shao Jie):
Seaweed: Bitter, salty and cold in nature, enters the liver, stomach and kidney meridians, and is especially good at resolving phlegm, softening and promoting diuresis. Herbal Dietotherapy also says: Thin people can't take it. Seaweed has the function of lowering blood fat. Because the mixture of alginic acid and heteromolecular amphetamine contained in seaweed is an appetite suppressant, it can reduce obesity without causing insomnia.
Kelp: salty and cold, it enters the liver, stomach and kidney meridians, and has the functions of softening hard mass, resolving phlegm and promoting diuresis. 1.5 kg kelp can achieve ideal slimming effect. Moreover, if iodine deficiency leads to insufficient thyroid secretion, the basal metabolic rate of the body will also decrease. Severe iodine deficiency will cause low-level energy output and induce obesity. Kelp has a good effect on obesity caused by hypothyroidism.
Adzuki bean: sweet and sour in nature, enters the spleen, heart and small intestine, and has good diuretic, detumescence and detoxification effects. Tao Hongjing said: Sex drives body fluids, and eating for a long time is boring. Herbal Dietotherapy also said: "Eating thin people for a long time." The application of adzuki bean in weight loss is especially effective for obesity with edema.
Lotus leaf: Sweet and astringent in nature, it enters the spleen meridian and is a very good summer medicine. Compendium of Materia Medica quoted Essentials of Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment as saying: "Lotus leaves make people thin and feel inferior." Someone once used dried lotus leaf decoction instead of tea or porridge every day, and after taking it for three months, the weight was obviously reduced.
Wax gourd: sweet and light in taste, slightly cold in nature, has the functions of diuresis, phlegm elimination, heat and detoxification, and has a good weight loss and slimming effect. "Dietotherapy Materia Medica" said: "Cooking can refine the five internal organs. If you want to get fat, don't eat, for the next breath. Those who want to be short and light will eat healthily. " He also said: "people who have a cold should not eat it, it will make them thinner." Because obese people have internal heat, wax gourd helps to lose weight and can be drunk for a long time.
Tea: It is one of the three major drinks in the world. It has the functions of clearing the head, relieving polydipsia, resolving phlegm, promoting digestion and promoting diuresis. Chen Heting, a pharmacist in the Tang Dynasty, said, "Tea is bitter and cold, which makes people thin and fat ..." Modern research has confirmed that tea can reduce serum cholesterol concentration and the ratio of cholesterol to phospholipids, and can prevent and treat hyperlipidemia. Caffeine contained in tea can stimulate the central nervous system, reduce sleep consumption and increase consumption. Caffeine and theophylline still have diuretic and metabolic functions. It can be seen that its slimming function is the result of multiple functions (Guo Jie). Pu 'er tea and oolong tea in China have achieved very good results in slimming, and are known as slimming tea.
