Features: Obesity first affects your appearance and efficiency, thereby troubling your life and work. More importantly, it impacts people's physical health. Statistics show that in Chinese cities, one out of every five people is overweight. In "Fat City Beijing," one out of every two people is obese, one out of every four has high blood lipids, and one out of every five has fatty liver disease. It is estimated that there are at least 100 million people with "metabolic syndrome" in the country. Metabolic syndrome is the name given by the World Health Organization to obesity combined with "three highs" symptoms. Obesity plus "three highs" is also known as the "death quartet!" We often hear many people say, "Obesity is genetic; I gain weight just by drinking water!" In fact, everyone can reflect on whether it was as easy as today to see such obese bodies on the streets after the founding of the country. Over the 5,000 years of Chinese history, bringing weight loss to the agenda has only been a matter of the past decade. Is it because of a gene mutation? Of course not, it is because our lifestyles have changed. So, how can we shed the extra pounds and regain a healthy and happy life? In light of this, the author, based on their clinical experience, consulted experts and professors in this field, reviewed relevant materials, and compiled this book with collective wisdom to provide reference for readers.
