Q I'm self-employed and in my forties, and it's genuinely hard to set aside separate time to exercise. Even this busy, is there a realistic way to reduce visceral fat?
A Even if it's hard to set aside separate exercise time, you can definitely reduce visceral fat just through dietary adjustments and movement in daily life. In particular, just cutting late-night snacks and sweet drinks and moving often makes realistic change possible.
Detailed Answer
Diet plays a big part in reducing visceral fat, so even with little time to exercise, cutting refined carbs, late-night snacks, alcohol and sweet drinks can make a visible change. Also, instead of the gym, increasing daily activity - brisk walking while getting around, using stairs, standing up once an hour - is effective too. Rather than a perfect plan, steadily stacking small habits you can keep today is more realistic for busy people.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Dongjedang recommends, for busy people, "a habit of emptying a little every day" over "one big resolution." Just sending less in at night and moving your body here and there to open up the flow already starts to loosen the stagnation. We find together the kind of emptying you can keep within your own life, setting a direction that revives metabolism without strain.
