With the end of the Spring Festival holiday, the number of patients seeking consultation at the hospital's obesity specialty has significantly increased, with a growth of about 30% compared to usual, and there has also been a change in the age structure of obese patients. In addition to middle-aged obese patients, there is now a large number of obese patients aged 6 to 18.
Experts explain that the main factors causing obesity in patients are excessive intake of high-fat, high-carbohydrate, and high-calorie foods, irregular sleep patterns, and severe lack of physical activity. Being overweight or obese can increase the likelihood of developing cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, and diabetes, as well as endocrine system diseases, posing great harm to overall health. Therefore, it is urgent to choose an effective and reasonable weight loss method and promptly seek weight loss treatment.
By utilizing the principles of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment, starting with adjusting the endocrine system, and combining acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, thread embedding, and cupping therapy, scientific weight loss methods can be applied. These methods offer the advantages of minimal side effects, stable and long-lasting treatment, and less chance of rebounding. Additionally, customized herbal medicine formulas for different types of obese patients can help restore normal functioning of the spleen and stomach, allowing the overburdened digestive system to recover.
Experts remind us that the most effective weight loss method starts with maintaining a balanced diet, adopting normal eating habits, and engaging in regular and consistent exercise. Among them, a low-calorie, low-carbohydrate, and low-fat diet is the core of weight loss. During the weight loss process, it is advisable to choose foods such as fish, shrimp, lean meat, green vegetables, and whole grains for consumption, while limiting the intake of fried foods like French fries, hamburgers, and chicken wings; high-cholesterol foods like animal organs, animal brains, spinal cords, and egg yolks; and high-fat foods like fatty meat, animal oil, cream, and peanuts.
Currently, there is a wide variety of weight loss products available in the market, making it difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake products. If one mistakenly chooses counterfeit or substandard products, it can not only delay treatment but also cause irreversible damage to the body. Therefore, for healthy weight loss, it is essential to choose a legitimate medical institution.
