Q I have almost no time to exercise because of work and childcare. Can I still lose weight?
A Even if exercise is hard, combining a low-salt diet, regular meals, and hot bathing can achieve sufficient weight loss. 30 minutes of light daily walking or hot bathing (3+ times a week) is a minimum alternative to exercise.
Detailed Answer
Intense exercise can actually increase hunger and fatigue, leading to overeating. Practicing at least 30 minutes of light aerobic activity (walking, cycling) daily or hot bathing 3+ times a week is a realistic and sustainable approach. Since constitution herbal medicine raises basal metabolism, meaningful weight loss is possible through diet management alone, without exercise.
