Vita Green - Vessobest 60's

According to statistics from the Department of Health, 50% of people aged 15 to 84 are overweight, and close to 60% of people have symptoms of 3 high problem. It shows that there is a worrying trend of a lowering of age of the 3 high patients in Hong Kong.

It can be accounted to the poor and unhealthy diet and living habits of Hong Kong people, keen on having high-calorie, high-fat, especially animal fat, coupled with the reduction in exercise, which all lead to the accumulation of vascular waste. Therefore, the 3 high problem in Hong Kong is obviously becoming more serious.

The accumulation of vascular waste can lead to serious consequences.

In view of Chinese medicine, the root cause of three high and cardiovascular related problems are brought by phlegm dampness, blood stasis and qi deficiency. First, vascular waste is regarded in Chinese medicine as phlegm dampness. Then, when there is too much vascular waste accumulated, it forms internal resistance thus causing cardiovascular problems. Furthermore, blood stasis means that blood is blocked from flowing smoothly. When one takes too much energy and calories but metabolism decreases, vascular waste will accumulate on the blood vessel, slowing down the flow of blood. Meanwhile, qi deficiency means weak constitution. The lack of qi lowers one’s ability in clearing vascular waste, which is known as spleen deficient. Therefore, people with weak spleen and stomach are more likely to gain weight and cause the three-high problem.
