6月 marks the second anniversary of the "体重管理年" initiative, jointly launched by the National Health Commission and 15 other departments. Over the past two years, this campaign has achieved significant results in promoting healthier lifestyles. However, there are still many people who mistakenly believe that carbohydrates lead to weight gain and advocate for low-carbon diets as a way to lose fat.
Chinese physician Si Xi of the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine's Western苑 Hospital clarifies this misunderstanding. She emphasizes that natural carbohydrates are essential nutrients for the body, while overly processed foods are the real culprits behind metabolic issues and weight gain. According to her expert opinion, a scientifically balanced diet is the key to maintaining good health.
