1. Stay Hydrated and Chew Slowly
Drinking a full glass of water before a meal and chewing slowly while eating not only boosts metabolism but also curbs appetite.
When we eat, our brain registers the act of “eating” and starts controlling our fullness. So, by chewing slowly, we give our brain enough time to send the message throughout our body that we’re satisfied, thus preventing overeating and excessive calorie intake.
2. Drink Cooling Herbal Tea
According to traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, excessive appetite stems partly from a heated stomach. Therefore, drinking cooling herbal tea daily in the morning helps to cool down the stomach and curb appetite.
Cooling herbal tea is made from 100% freeze-dried fruits and contains no preservatives. It helps cool the liver, detoxify the body, promote healthy skin and figure, and support weight loss.
3. Massage Acupressure Points
In traditional Chinese medicine, massaging acupressure points is believed to boost metabolism, enhance the conversion of body fat into useful energy reserves, facilitate the excretion of excess fat, control hunger, promote digestion, and enhance metabolism without storing excess energy.
There are various acupressure point massages for women aiming to lose weight. The most notable ones are massaging the points on the ears and the corners of the mouth. These two massages are considered easy to perform and effective in achieving desired results.
Massaging the ear and mouth corner acupressure points for 1-3 minutes before a meal helps curb appetite.
4. Minimize Processed Foods
Weight loss doesn’t mean completely eliminating snacks. Instead of reaching for processed snacks like chips, chocolate, or fries, opt for healthier, unprocessed alternatives such as fresh fruit or unsweetened juice.
Lightly prepared foods like steamed or boiled corn, potatoes, etc., are also recommended as they help women feel fuller faster and reduce calorie intake.
5. Brush Your Teeth Before Meals
Brushing your teeth not only keeps your mouth clean but also helps suppress appetite, thereby controlling the amount of food that enters your body.
According to traditional medicine doctors, after brushing our teeth, the fresh minty flavor in our mouth makes us less inclined to eat to maintain oral cleanliness.
In addition to brushing, develop the habit of cleaning your tongue by gently wiping it with a thin cloth containing toothpaste. This habit not only keeps your mouth fresh but also curbs appetite and helps cool the stomach, as a hot tongue (also known as tongue coating) indicates stomach heat.
