Drinking water on an empty stomach in the morning.
One of the reasons for constipation is insufficient water intake. The food residue in the intestines is continuously absorbed, leading to slow colon movement. Drinking a glass of water in the morning helps in relieving constipation. As the digestive system is at rest during the night, drinking water on an empty stomach in the morning speeds up the digestive process, allowing water to be transferred to the colon quickly, increasing the moisture content of the stools, softening them, and aiding in better elimination.
Leaning against the wall after meals for half an hour, with the whole body facing the wall tightly, squeezing the buttocks, ensuring that the buttocks, back, legs, waist, head, neck, etc., are as close to the wall as possible. Initially, you can use a piece of paper to make sure it doesn’t fall.
After a few minutes, you will feel very tired and your muscles will ache, but you must persevere. After 15 minutes, you will be relieved. This method not only helps in slimming the waist and abdomen but also tones the thighs, neck, and face! Walking while contracting the abdomen: When walking or standing normally, contract the abdomen and combine it with diaphragmatic breathing to tighten the lower abdominal muscles. Those who have practiced yoga or voice training are likely familiar with diaphragmatic breathing: when inhaling, the abdomen expands; when exhaling, the abdomen tightens. This helps stimulate intestinal movement, promote the elimination of waste from the body, and increase lung capacity.
Picking beans: Scatter about 200 soybeans on the floor and then bend over (without bending the legs) to pick up the soybeans one by one and place them in a bowl on the table: bend over, pick up beans, stand up straight, and then bend over again… Picking up all the beans is equivalent to bending over 200 times. If you persist for a month or two, the effect of slimming the abdomen will be noticeable. Stand and twist waist: This can be practiced at noon or in the evening.
If watching TV, take advantage of commercial breaks to stand up, chest out, abdomen in, and then twist your waist to the left and right (similar to belly dancing movements, requiring effort from the waist rather than the legs or back) 100 times daily. This routine will help you get rid of belly fat. Massage + slimming products: The most common method for slimming the abdomen is massaging to improve blood circulation and intestinal movement, reducing nutrient absorption in the intestines, facilitating the elimination of metabolic waste, and aiding in relieving constipation. Salt scrub massage: Salt has a sweating effect and can help eliminate waste and excess water from the body.
When bathing, mix coarse salt with a little hot water to form a paste, then massage it onto the stomach. Once the salt particles have fully dissolved, rinse it off, and then you can proceed with your shower. For individuals with sensitive skin, using finer bath salts might be more comfortable. Rose, honey, jujube, and dried fruits infusion: Jujube contains abundant pectin, which has an excellent softening effect, and roses also have a softening effect. Soaking rose petals, honey, and dried jujubes in water for drinking not only combines the softening effects of the two but also replenishes the body with fluids, leading to a significant detoxifying effect. However, pregnant women should avoid using roses due to their blood circulation and toxin-removal properties. Moreover, this method should only be used occasionally; prolonged use can cause intestinal paralysis, rendering it ineffective.
