Q I've exercised for over a year but muscle won't build, and even my gym trainer is frustrated. Can oriental medicine help?
A If muscle won't build despite eating well and exercising, your absorption and protein utilization may be low. Once digestion and absorption function recover, muscle starts to build even with the same diet and exercise.
Detailed Answer
Even with sufficient exercise and diet, if the stomach is weak and can't properly absorb nutrients, muscle synthesis is slow. Also, if there's chronic fatigue or lack of sleep, there isn't enough time for muscle to recover and grow, so exercise doesn't show results.
Oriental Medicine Clinic Perspective
Oriental medicine treatment raises the stomach's absorption and reinforces recovery so the body responds better to the same diet and exercise. Just by changing the constitution without stopping exercise, results matching your efforts begin to appear.
