As the weather gets warmer, many people are considering dieting. This is because in winter, when the weather drops below freezing, it is difficult to exercise outdoors to lose weight, and the body itself feels stiff and the amount of activity itself decreases.
That’s why there are not a few people who plan to control their weight by carrying out exercises that have been postponed with the weather getting warmer. This is to manage the body that is exposed as the clothes become thinner.
Some go through extreme diets out of greed to quickly see the effects of dieting, but experts point out that it is a shortcut that harms health.
Gyeonghuigung Palace Oriental Clinic Director Park Ho-young[사진]According to , a raw food diet that greatly reduces the amount of food or eats only one food will help you lose weight in the short term, but it destroys the nutritional balance and weakens the body’s immunity.
It does not help with weight control in the long run. There is only a temporary effect of weight loss, but when you return to the original diet, the yo-yo phenomenon occurs. In the end, you lose your health and your diet fails.
This is why experts emphasize the importance of going on a diet that takes care of your health, rather than just looking at the numbers in front of you.
The secret to a healthy diet is to be steady and persistent. Director Park explains, “We need to continue to exercise according to our hobbies and cook healthy food in a simple way so that we can continue to consume it.”
In some cases, herbal medicine is prescribed to help reduce appetite or break down fat when dieting. Director Park says, “Oriental medicine and the like can help with weight control, but it is important to exercise and control yourself to succeed in dieting.”
However, he emphasizes proper use, saying, “It can add fun to uninteresting and boring weight control and help improve physical condition according to the situation.”
