Q I don't eat much, but I still tend to gain weight. Why is that?
A When digestion, metabolism, and water elimination don't work smoothly, you can gain weight easily even without overeating. It's often not simple overeating but a problem with how well your body processes food.
Detailed Answer
Even with the same food intake, digestion, absorption speed, and metabolic efficiency differ from person to person. If your stomach is slow or water elimination is poor, food stays longer and turns into body fat or swelling. Stress, lack of sleep, and irregular meals also lower metabolism.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Korean medicine views obesity not as a result of food alone, but as a functional imbalance of the whole body. When constitution-matched herbal medicine boosts digestive movement, water metabolism, and energy, your body processes the same amount of food more efficiently.
