Her family took her to the hospital. Before that, during a routine check-up, Ms. K was found to have high blood fat, fatty liver, and sleep disorders.
Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City has received many cases of people drinking tea and weight loss pills while feeling exhausted and dehydrated. Weight loss pills floating on the market often cause diarrhea and dehydration, so rapid weight loss still does not reduce fat; on the contrary, it causes dull, wrinkled skin, fatigue, and even acute kidney failure, which is life-threatening.
Dr. Tran Huu Thanh Tung - Center for Weight Control and Obesity Treatment, Tam Anh General Hospital - said that weight loss treatment is not simply adjusting diet and exercise. Depending on health status, cause of overweight... the doctor will give a suitable weight loss and body fat reduction regimen.
People should not apply excessive fasting to lose weight. Because excessive fasting can cause stress, hunger, exhaustion, lack of protein, vitamins, minerals... reduce resistance, affect skin, hair and spirit.
