How to recover from weight gain after taking Chinese medicine

I believe that many people in life often gain weight because of taking various western medicines containing hormones, but everyone does not think that taking Chinese medicine can also cause weight gain, and the possibility of weight gain is very high, because Chinese medicine itself is something with high nutritional value. Taking it for a long time will lead to physical weakness and weight gain. This situation is a normal phenomenon.

There is no basis that drinking Chinese medicine will make you fat.

Most Chinese medicines are made from the roots, stems and leaves of plants, but many of them are very fiber-rich (you will know if you bite them), but some are also high in starch (such as Pueraria root).

The main active ingredients are some triterpenes, anthraquinones, steroids, alkaloids, etc., which are not nutrients for the human body.

The amount of starch contained in a bowl of Chinese medicine is at most the same as that in a bowl of porridge. Have you ever seen anyone gain weight by drinking only porridge? (Maybe they do exist, but there are very few of them)

I think your classmate is a person with good absorption ability. He may have become thin due to some reason. Once the cause is eliminated, he will naturally become fat. But there is also a type of people who never gain weight no matter how much they eat. This is a matter of personal physique.

I think the reason why your friend is fat is that his appetite improved after drinking the Chinese medicine, and he absorbed more nutrients, which led to obesity. You can ask him whether there is any difference in the amount of food he eats before and after drinking the Chinese medicine.

Physical weakness is also one of the causes of weight loss. Most thin people are physically weak, especially those who suffer from night sweats. But don’t ignore the disease just because you are afraid of getting fat. This is not the fundamental solution to the problem. If you are afraid of getting fat, in fact, just control your diet every day. Even if you gain weight, you won’t gain too much!

However, long-term use of Chinese medicine is also bad for your health, so be careful.
