No matter if it's men or women, obesity is not a good look. Obesity not only poses great health risks, but also indirectly affects your learning and work. So what can be done about obesity? What are the effective acupoints for weight loss in traditional Chinese medicine? Let's take a look.
Many people in life are troubled by obesity and have tried various methods of weight loss, such as dieting and exercising. Aside from these, are there any other methods in traditional Chinese medicine?
Obesity not only affects appearance and mobility, but also causes sweating, shortness of breath, and easy fatigue with even slight movement. Some people lament, "I've tried all sorts of methods, but I just can't lose weight!" Based on these people's experiences, the main issue is temporary weight loss, which eventually leads to gaining weight again unconsciously. This phenomenon is very common, as reducing food intake may make the body lean, but once the weight is reduced, if the amount of food consumed remains the same, it's natural to gain weight again. If you want to lose weight, you must change your current lifestyle.
First of all, you should start by avoiding overeating and snacking. Many women enjoy snacking, and even if they are not hungry, they continue to eat. No matter how much they diet, they still end up gaining weight. If every meal exceeds 80% fullness, you will never lose weight.
Secondly, the body should be kept active. If you don't move, even if your weight decreases, the body fat will not be dispersed, resulting in a big belly as if suffering from malnutrition. If the body is constantly moving, calories will be burned, which is the only way to treat obesity.
Acupoints for treating obesity:
The third and fourth lumbar vertebrae in our body are effective acupoints for reducing appetite. By tapping on these acupoints, appetite can be effectively reduced.
The tapping technique involves forcefully exhaling through the mouth and nose while tapping on the acupoints. After tapping, inhale immediately. The speed of tapping should be one tap every 0.5 seconds, repeating 20 times.
