Liao, a Chinese doctor, pointed out that Chinese medicine believes that "the liver governs the discharge". If excessive pressure or depression hinders the movement of liver qi, it is easy to form pathological products of phlegm and blood stasis, which leads to obesity of liver qi stagnation type, that is, stress obesity. If you indulge yourself in overeating and eat more high-calorie foods because of excessive pressure, obesity will cause frustration to your appearance and become a vicious circle, making it more difficult to lose weight.
In addition, although hawthorn can help digestion, it is best for people who are prone to stomach pain and discomfort to choose fried hawthorn to reduce the amount of stomach, and don't drink too much.
