What Should I Do If I Have Excess Fat on My Belly?

If there is excess fat on the abdomen, one can choose abdominal massage, sit-ups, proper diet adjustment, and acupuncture weight loss.

1. Abdominal Massage: After taking a shower, put two drops of rose essential oil in the palm of your hand and massage the waist and abdomen. Use four fingers to massage the Daheng acupoint for 15 minutes until the abdomen feels slightly warm. This can promote gastrointestinal motility and relieve constipation. Additionally, massaging the Daimai acupoint, located on the side of the abdomen at the level of the navel, can also be done. Place the thumb on the Daheng acupoint and rub the Daimai acupoint for 15 minutes with the other four fingers together. This can accelerate metabolism and prevent fat accumulation in the abdomen.

2. Sit-ups: Lie flat on the bed with your arms resting on the back of your head. When getting up, keep your upper body straight and try to press your abdomen against your thighs. Hold this position for 10 seconds, then return to the starting position. Do 30 sit-ups every day to reduce abdominal fat. It is important to use abdominal strength when performing sit-ups, and to persevere over a long period of time to achieve results.

3. Adjusting the Diet: Correct unhealthy eating habits and eat regular meals with fixed quantities. Eat less for dinner. Consume plenty of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains rich in dietary fiber, which can increase satiety and reduce calorie intake. Chew food slowly and thoroughly, avoiding gulping. Eating too quickly can delay the brain's reception of satiety signals.

4. Acupuncture Weight Loss: Acupuncture can stimulate meridians and acupoints to improve internal systems, accelerate basal metabolic rate, and increase thermal energy consumption to burn excess fat.

After each meal, take a 30-minute walk instead of sitting or lying down immediately. When taking a shower, use coarse salt to massage the abdomen, which can promote abdominal fat burning, accelerate gastrointestinal motility, effectively stimulate the digestive system, and help eliminate stool. Control your diet, reduce the intake of sweet and greasy foods, and increase the consumption of dietary fiber foods. Eat only seven-tenths full for each meal, and avoid overeating.
