How to lose weight if you have puffy body

Daily salt intake is less than 6 grams

In fact, there are quite a few people who are bloated due to puffiness or water retention. What this type of people need is to replenish qi, strengthen the spleen, eliminate dampness, and adjust metabolism, rather than blindly dieting. Even if they don't eat much, the effect will not be obvious.

Drink less water 3 hours before bedtime

Try to drink more water during the day, and reduce water intake 3 hours before going to bed. If you drink too much water before going to bed, your eyelids will easily be swollen when you wake up the next day. Some people are used to drinking a cup of black coffee in the morning to help metabolism. It is enough to drink about 200 ml of water at least 2 hours before going to bed.

Improve sleep quality

Poor sleep may be a symptom of physical weakness such as kidney deficiency. The weaker you are, the more likely you are to suffer from insomnia. This vicious cycle of sub-health may be the main cause of obesity. You must improve your sleep by taking a walk in the evening, drinking a glass of milk before going to bed, or taking some Chinese medicine that is conducive to sleep, etc.

Keep exercising

If you exercise twice a week, your overall physical fitness will improve. Frequent sweating helps to adjust the body's water metabolism and strengthen kidney function. Let the "pseudo-obesity" physique gradually improve.
