Key points
Why rainy season swelling and weight plateaus should be reviewed through fluid metabolism, digestion, and meal rhythm.
Hello, this is Dr. Hong Myeong-hwi, Chief Physician of Acupuncture Hyunginjae Gangnam Diet Korea.
During the rainy season, the body may feel heavy and swollen, and weight may not move even without eating much more. Instead of only eating less, it is important to review fluid metabolism, digestion, bowel rhythm, and fatigue together.
Why swelling can feel worse in the rainy season
High humidity and lower activity can make circulation feel slower. Temperature changes from air conditioning may also affect cold hands and feet or swelling in the face and legs.
Weight plateaus are not only about calories
Meal timing, late-night eating, caffeine, bowel rhythm, sleep, and menstrual cycle can all matter. The direction changes depending on the pattern.
What Korean medicine diet consultation reviews
Beyond weight, the body rhythm is checked. Herbal medicine, acupuncture, and lifestyle guidance may be considered depending on the individual condition.
What to track at home
Track evening swelling, bowel rhythm, sleep time, salty foods, and late-night meals, not only morning weight.
