Disease description:

My abdomen has been getting progressively larger, and my lower belly bulge is especially prominent. I’ve tried losing weight before, but the results weren’t very effective. Could you advise on the best approach to reduce excessive abdominal fat?

Hello, Abdominal bloating is commonly caused by excessive dampness in the body. Abdominal fat is particularly difficult to burn off, leading to a progressively larger belly—often referred to as a “swim ring.” In some cases, the abdomen may even protrude nearly to the level of the chest. Liposuction carries certain risks and potential complications. Among all weight-loss and abdominal-toning methods, combining regular exercise with dietary control remains the most effective approach. Each evening, focus on targeted abdominal exercises such as crunches and push-ups. Additionally, avoid eating anything after dinner. Consistently following this regimen for approximately one year typically yields noticeable results. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
