Tailoring different food therapy plans to each type yields satisfactory results.<br>Those with thick waists should carefully manage their three daily meals.

To avoid upsetting the stomach, consume a small amount of fruit during fasting.<br>Those with sagging lower abdomens mainly suffer from excessive water intake. Excess fluid burdens the kidneys and bladder, leading to abdominal laxity. To address this, strictly control daily water intake.
