Enter a fat-burning state
Compared to usual times
The fat-burning efficiency of exercise is increased by 2-3 times
Hot weather affects appetite
People also reduce their food intake

Diet control and moderation become relatively easier,
Which inadvertently benefits the implementation of weight loss plans.

In summer, try to drink as little as possible
Cold, overly sweet beverages,
Beer with barbecue, iced milk tea with hot pot,
Are all harmful to the spleen and stomach,
Causing a slowdown in body metabolism.
The hotter the weather
The less you should crave cold
The air conditioning temperature should not be set too low either
How to effectively lose weight during San Fu
If you plan your three meals reasonably, ensure sufficient nutrient intake, combined with moderate exercise, you will lose weight faster during San Fu.
1. Outdoor environments need to be regularly hydrated. Room temperature mineral water is best, tea and coffee in moderation, try to avoid cold drinks. Do not wait until you feel dry mouth before rehydrating, as your body is already severely dehydrated.
2. Eat a balanced diet, adequate nutrition. In hot weather, the body consumes a large amount of vitamins and minerals, so it is important to timely replenish protein and vitamins in your daily diet. San Fu is suitable for eating fish and meat as they are refreshing and can replenish protein. It is best to choose cooking methods such as steaming. Secondly, supplement with vitamins, such as wheat flour and millet rich in vitamin B1, or choose green bean flour and buckwheat flour. Also, foods rich in vitamin A such as pork liver, carrots, and pumpkins.
3. Consume less cold drinks. During San Fu, many people enjoy cold drinks or ice cream, especially when moving from outdoor heat to air-conditioned environments. While cold drinks quench thirst momentarily, they can cause greater damage to the intestines and stomach. It is recommended to first consume beverages at room temperature, wait for your body to adjust, and then eat cold foods moderately.
4. The timing of exercise during San Fu is crucial. Choose cooler times like 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. or around 7 p.m. in the evening. However, consider the local temperature; if it remains hot, outdoor activities are not advisable. If the weather is relatively cooler, you can walk or jog outside, ideally maintaining 30 to 45 minutes daily, which is highly effective for fat loss. The most suitable exercise during San Fu is swimming, which burns more energy compared to running and other exercises, not only to cool off but also for more evident weight loss.
5. Adequate sleep is crucial. Hot weather can lead to shallow sleep, early waking, insomnia, and daytime fatigue. Sleep deprivation and staying up late can affect hormonal balance and metabolism speed. Taking naps during San Fu is a good option. Note: Healthy weight loss means reducing fat, not just water weight. Hot weather is just an aid; it is essential to maintain proper diet, exercise, sufficient sleep, and hydration for truly healthy weight loss.
San Fu’s back sunbathing for “hot health” is reliable?
Recently, the health practice of sunbathing the back has gained popularity online, with the hashtag #WomanClaimsToLose4KgIn10DaysBySunbathingBack# trending. Is “sunbathing for health” reliable?
Doctors state that sunbathing does have health benefits.
According to the holistic theory of “unity of nature and humanity” in traditional Chinese medicine, San Fu is a period of vigorous yang energy in nature, and the time when all things grow most luxuriantly. The human body has many yang channels on the back, and exposing this area to sunlight during this time can not only replenish the body’s yang energy, but also dispel long-standing illnesses.
For patients with chronic diseases such as metabolic syndrome and depression, sunbathing can benefit qi, warm yang, dispel cold, and promote blood circulation. Individuals with poor gastrointestinal function, prone to colds, and sub-healthy conditions can enhance their body’s self-regulating abilities by sunbathing. For those with yang deficiency and dampness, sunbathing can help stimulate the activity of qi, blood, and channels, and improve the constitution of yang deficiency.
Is sunbathing for weight loss during San Fu scientific?
“Sunbathing for weight loss reduces water weight, and once hydrated, the weight loss quickly rebounds.” Doctors point out that the case of losing 4 kg in 10 days by sunbathing as seen on social platforms is a single case. Weight loss may be due to various factors, including water loss, temporary metabolic changes, or adjustments to other lifestyle habits, and does not directly mean a reduction in fat.
Weight loss requires diet control, exercise, and proper planning with self-discipline. It is not scientific or reasonable to expect to achieve weight loss simply by sunbathing.
