Introduction

People without a defined chin can appropriately perform neck stretching exercises in daily life, which to some extent can tighten the skin and improve the appearance of a recessed chin. However, the effectiveness of such daily exercises in creating a noticeable chin is limited. For those seeking a more defined chin, medical aesthetic procedures such as hyaluronic acid fillers, autologous fat transfer, or silicone chin implants may be considered.

A weak or recessed chin can be improved to some extent through regular neck stretching exercises in daily life, which may help tighten the skin and alleviate the appearance of a missing chin. However, the effectiveness of exercise alone in creating a defined chin is limited. For those seeking a more prominent chin, medical aesthetic procedures such as hyaluronic acid fillers, autologous fat transfer, or silicone chin implants are viable options.

What is the role of cabbage in traditional Chinese medicine?

Cabbage is cool in nature and can clear heat and toxic pathogens from the body. It helps alleviate discomforts such as irritability and dry mouth caused by internal heat, restoring the body to a balanced state. Rich in dietary fiber, cabbage is believed in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to promote gastrointestinal motility, relieve intestinal stagnation, improve constipation, and facilitate smoother flow of qi in the digestive system. With its sweet taste and high moisture content, cabbage also nourishes body fluids.
