Chin lift after illness or sudden weight loss
If you are a little old, for example under 35, then in this case you first need to turn on the body’s own restorative forces.
And only after, if there is no effect, you can seek help from a cosmetologist. To begin with, let's create a positive psychological attitude to actively fight for our beauty. You need to understand that the path to restoring your own beauty is not easy and long, but the result will be lasting.
First of all, follow a routine, eat a balanced diet, and sleep at least 7-8 hours a day.
Do special exercises for the muscles of the face and chin.
You can contact a cosmetologist, but only to perform stimulating procedures:
- mesotherapy;
- thermolifting;
- ozone therapy;
- FaceTite.
Procedures need to be chosen specifically for their stimulating properties. An experienced cosmetologist will select them taking into account your skin type and age.
Chin exercises
On the Internet and in women's magazines there are a large number of exercises for the neck and chin, including:
- tilting and turning the head;
- movements of the lower jaw;
- lip movements;
- tongue movements.
All exercises are very useful and quite effective if done intensively and regularly.
Facial yoga has become very popular these days. A simple exercise quite effectively solves the problem of lifting the chin.
· "Movable chin"
We push our chin forward as far as possible. Hold this position for a few seconds. Tuck your chin in, pressing it toward your sternum, but without bending your back. Keep it in this position for a while. Move your chin left and right. In each extreme position you need to fix your chin for a certain time.
The entire exercise cycle must be repeated several times.
This exercise is great not only for a sagging chin, but also for a flabby neck, sagging cheeks and a double chin.
Fighting a sagging chin at home
To tone the skin of the chin, you can use quite affordable products that can be found in every person’s refrigerator.
· Ice cubes
Freeze mineral water or chamomile decoction. In the morning, wipe your face, neck, and skin in the décolleté area. The skin will be toned and the chin will be noticeably tightened.
· Masks:
1. Potato mask. The most affordable and effective mask is a mask made from mashed potatoes and honey. Everything is mixed in equal quantities and applied to the chin. Cover the top with gauze. The mask should be left on for 30 minutes. Then the skin is washed with running water.
2. Rice mask with a lifting effect. Mix two tablespoons of rice, 1 tablespoon of sour cream and half a tablespoon of honey thoroughly. Rice needs to be ground until it turns into flour.
Apply this mixture to the face and chin area, leave for 10 minutes and rinse gently
General recommendations for a chin lift
The problem of a chin lift needs to be approached comprehensively.
- Avoid using greasy neck creams. Give preference to products with retinol and vitamin C, which can renew the skin at the cellular level. Buy only high-quality cosmetics. The skin of the neck is the first to react to age-related changes and low-quality products.
- At least twice a week, make masks and compresses for the skin of the face and neck.
- Lubricate your skin with cosmetic oils.
- Keep your skin clean and don't allow any deposits to clog your pores.
- Do neck exercises regularly.
- Whenever possible, rinse your neck and chin with cool water.
You can also tighten your chin using modern hardware technologies, as well as plastic surgery. However, this is already heavy artillery for women at an advanced age and with big problems.
In any case, the problem is easier to prevent than to fix. Therefore, get a chin lift when the first signs of age-related changes appear.

Reasons for changes in the condition of the chin
Mechanical facial cleansing - what is it Description of the procedure, contraindications, reviews
We all want tightened skin, and have already tried so many cosmetics, but first we need to eliminate the causes that cause sagging skin on the chin, neck and décolleté.
A neat oval face and a beautiful décolleté area are one of the signs that determine a woman’s age
What is the source of deterioration of the skin condition:
• Incorrect application of foundation, tonic, masks (not along massage lines). How to properly apply masks to your face, read the article;
• Bad habits such as alcohol and smoking;
• Dramatic weight loss;
• Frequent visits to the solarium or exposure to direct sunlight;
• Natural age-related changes.
• If you constantly support your chin with your hand while sitting at the computer;
• Incorrect sleeping position or uncomfortable pillow, reading while lying down;
• Constant lack of sleep;
• Lack of vitamins C and E in the body;
• Work in dark, stuffy rooms (which causes a lack of oxygen).
It would be a good idea to think about whether it might be worth changing your daily habits a little so that the chin and neck, the lifting of which makes us look very younger, are irresistible.
Proper care and cleansing of facial skin using facial skin care products, such as micellar water or makeup remover milk, is also very important.
Homemade lifting masks for double chin can really save you from this unpleasant cosmetic defect. But on one condition: they must become a habit. Their effect can be enhanced by salon procedures, massage, and special exercises.
Radio wave and electric massager
Electric and radio wave massagers effectively work the area of the double chin and neck, and due to the micropulses produced and tissue heating, they cause active contractions of the elements of the muscle frame, eliminating sagging skin, removing fat deposits and stimulating the synthesis of collagen fibers.

- Before the procedure, you should thoroughly cleanse the skin.
An electric massager allows you to remove a double chin and tighten the oval of your face

Surgical methods for removing a double chin
Surgical methods for quickly removing a double chin include liposuction, which is performed using laser, tumescent, ultrasound or radiofrequency methods. During this procedure, the doctor, using special cannulas, treats the fatty tissue in the area of the cheeks and chin with a special solution (tumescent liposuction), laser, radiofrequency energy or ultrasound, which causes it to emulsify, and then sucks it out with a vacuum.
The operation to remove a double chin is considered low-traumatic, because the surgeon makes only one puncture on the skin and there are almost never any scars left after it. This operation allows you to quickly remove a double chin, but rehabilitation lasts 10-14 days, during which the patient has to wear a compression bandage.
Double chin removal using different methods: before and after photos
Additional correction techniques consist of performing special exercises (facial gymnastics) and massage of the double chin and cheeks, which improves blood movement through the vessels, activates the process of lipolysis (breakdown of adipose tissue) and increases skin turgor, which helps prevent re-development of the problem.

Non-surgical chin lift with threads
Reinforcement with mesothreads is currently considered the most effective prevention of severe ptosis of the lower third of the face.
Expert comment:
First
It is very important to place the mesothread bundles at the correct angle! The result directly depends on this
Second
.
Mesothreads always
placed by a doctor together with an assistant, since the facial tissues should always stretch during the placement of threads. The direction of stretching before installation is shown by the doctor, based on the individual characteristics of the face.
Third
.
Under the skin, the threads should form an armature - a network of intertwined threads of various lengths and diameters. Only in this case will the threads “hold” the face almost immediately after the procedure
.
Fourth
. For complex correction and face lifting, threads of 2-3 lengths and diameters are always used.
As a result of such a complex procedure, excessively stretched tissues move from the jowl area in an oblique-vertical direction. Pronounced chin lifting is observed immediately after the procedure. You look younger and fit
.
And finally, fifth
. A non-surgical double chin lift does not end with the installation of threads.
To get a long-term effect, the skin needs to form a strong frame of elastin and collagen around the threads. Therefore, immediately after mesothreads, a course of mesotherapy with an elastin cocktail is necessarily prescribed.
This technique allows you to add “building material” to the skin, thanks to which the action of the threads and the prevention of sagging skin become as effective as possible.
Only this method of reinforcement with mesothreads allows you to effectively tighten your chin and maintain the result for up to 5 years. Then the procedure must be repeated.
Nourishing and vitamin masks for the neck
1. Vitamin mask. This mask is very useful in winter; grate the carrots on a fine grater, add a little olive or vegetable oil or sour cream. Apply this mixture to your neck and rinse with warm water after 15-20 minutes.
2. Nourishing mask. Mix one egg yolk, one teaspoon of honey and half a teaspoon of any oil. Add a little flour to this mass and apply it all on your neck for 15-20 minutes. After this, rinse off the mask with warm water.
3. Anti-wrinkle neck mask. Take flaxseed oil from the pharmacy, warm it up a little and apply to the neck and décolleté for 20-25 minutes. After this, remove the remaining oil with a napkin.
4. Rejuvenating neck mask. Take 1 tablespoon of any oil, heat it a little, add a few drops of lemon juice to it and apply on your neck for 20-25 minutes.
5. Cleansing mask. Pour oatmeal flour (pass the flakes through a coffee grinder) with warm milk to form a thick paste, add melted butter (for 2 tablespoons of flour, 1 tablespoon of butter). Apply the mixture to your face for 15 minutes, rinse with warm water.
Neck tightening exercises
Place your palm under your chin and press your chin down 10 times without removing your hands, creating resistance. Do this 3 times.
This exercise strengthens and tightens the chin muscles.
Tilt your head back, push your lower jaw forward as far as you can, wait 10 seconds. Repeat 3 times.
This exercise strengthens and tones the neck muscles and strengthens the chin muscles.
Stick your head forward as far as you can, at the same time extend your lower jaw, stay in this position for 10 seconds. Relax and repeat 3 times.
This exercise strengthens the front and back muscles of the neck, best done while lying on your back.
To get rid of a double chin
Lie on the floor on your back, raise your head and count to 10, then relax. Repeat 10 times, then rest. Do 2-3 approaches, gradually increasing the load.
This exercise helps strengthen and tone the neck muscles, tighten the subcutaneous muscles and get rid of a double chin.
NECK SHAPE CORRECTION
A neck that is too long or too thin can be brightened up with a high turn-down collar. In the evening, you can wrap several rows of beads made of pearls or other stones around it.
A neck that is too short or thick can be visually lengthened or made thinner with a dress or blouse with a deep (or V-shaped, if your face shape allows) neckline. In the evening, you can wear a pendant or medallion on a long chain or long beads in several rows.
After the massage, be sure to stretch the muscle
Stretch 1: Tilt your head back and turn your face to one side. The muscle on the opposite side will stretch.
Stretch 2: Turn your head to one side and tilt your chin toward your shoulder. The muscle on the opposite side will stretch.
The skin of the neck is very delicate, subcutaneous fat tissue is almost completely absent here, the tone of the neck muscles is low, and they begin to weaken earlier than in other parts of the body, and therefore the skin loses its elasticity.
With age, the skin in general, and on the neck in particular, loses moisture, becomes thinner, becomes inelastic and takes on the appearance of crumpled paper.
Help from cosmetologists
In beauty salons, procedures for chin correction are selected individually. Each method has its positive and negative sides:
- The most radical ones include bioreinforcement. This is a special medical technology, as a result of which an artificial gel facial frame is introduced. The patient may be offered several options: Botox injection, biorevitalization, mesotherapy. These procedures are best performed after 40 years. The method is very effective, but bruises appear after the injections.
- But ozone therapy is effective only up to 50 years. An ozone mixture is injected under the skin; at first, unpleasant sensations may be observed.
- Iontophoresis is a painful procedure, but the action of electrical impulses will bring lasting results.
- Lymphatic drainage is a special manual or hardware massage, during which fluid stagnation is eliminated.
- Myostimulation or exposure to pulsed currents is used in combination with lymphatic drainage and injections of fat breakers.
- Ultrasound therapy differs in the duration of treatment. Used in combination with creams and gel.
In order not to resort to expensive innovative cosmetic methods, it is still better to regularly prevent the appearance of a double chin and adhere to a healthy lifestyle.
A clear oval face, elastic chin is the dream of every woman. It is not difficult to make it a reality if you start preventing “sagging” in a timely manner. To begin with, you should eliminate the main reasons that contribute to the appearance of a double chin. These include excessive consumption of high-calorie foods, weight gain or sudden loss. The habit of sleeping on a high pillow also has an adverse effect on the shape of the face.
There are several ways to remove a sagging chin: contact a plastic surgeon, start doing simple exercises to train your muscles, or use our grandmothers’ homemade recipes. The surgical method is, of course, simpler, but it should be used only in the most extreme cases.
To combat a double chin, it is good to use special exercises that help strengthen the lower facial muscles. To do this, just remember a few basic exercises. Sit comfortably and slowly begin to pull your head back towards your back. The mouth must be closed. After ten to fifteen seconds, return to the starting position. Do the exercise five to ten times.
Sit on a chair. Place your hands in front of you. Place your chin on your hands and, overcoming resistance, try to open your mouth.
Stand comfortably. Stick out your tongue and try to reach the tip of your nose. Then repeat the exercise, trying to reach your chin with your tongue.
Lie on the floor with your arms along your body. Press your chin to your chest and hold this position for a few seconds. Then slowly return your head to the starting position. Repeat 20 times.
Take a pencil in your mouth and “write” all the letters of the alphabet in the air with it, while trying to tense your facial muscles as much as possible.
A contrast shower is also a good helper for toning your chin. Light pats can also strengthen the oval of the face. And if you wet a towel with a strong saline solution, and, rolling it into a tourniquet, massage your chin left and right, the result will be obvious after just a few sessions.
Perform the following procedure from time to time. Take a gauze bandage and fold it several times. The width of the bandage should be approximately 2-3 cm. Then moisten the resulting tourniquet in the center with lemon juice. Place a bandage on your chin, with the cloth moistened with lemon covering only the most convex part, and secure the lemon compress for 20-30 minutes. After removing the tourniquet, lubricate your face with a rich, nourishing cream.
You can “strengthen” and “tie” your chin using an ordinary elastic bandage. Just tie up the problem area and remove the bandage after 20-35 minutes. Once a week will be enough.
Self-massage of the face plays an important role in the prevention of double chin. Uncomplicated but effective. Sit on a chair, slightly tilt your body forward and your head back. Cover your upper lip with your lower lip. Then place the middle and index fingers of one hand on the chin, and the little and ring fingers under the chin. Then, alternately with one or the other hand, stroke your face to your ear five times.
When caring for your face, do not forget to nourish the skin of your chin and neck. It is best to use creams and masks that help strengthen the skin and give it firmness, elasticity and smoothness.
How to remove a double chin using mesotherapy?
Numerous hardware techniques promise a visible effect after several procedures, but their capabilities are sometimes greatly exaggerated, and liposuction is a serious operation and not everyone is ready to resort to it. That is why it makes sense to undergo a course of injection mesotherapy for the chin. This technique is really effective, and in terms of price-quality ratio it can easily claim first place among many other methods for solving this problem. Oksana Zakharova, a cosmetologist at the State Scientific Center for Discretion and Dispensation, answered our questions related to mesotherapy for the double chin area.
— Are there many people who want to correct this particular zone in this way?
Oksana Zakharova
:
− Quite a lot, considering that chin mesotherapy gives quick visible results, has a short rehabilitation period and often surpasses in efficiency many hardware procedures used for a similar purpose. Moreover, the majority of patients who turn to a cosmetologist with this problem do not have the opportunity to often visit a cosmetology office for various reasons and, as a rule, are interested in the total number of procedures (preferably fewer), rehabilitation periods (preferably shorter), the speed of procedures and, of course, the total cost of a course of chin correction using mesotherapy.
— Do patients find this measure effective? What is your opinion?
- Of course, everything depends on the specific patient and the specific situation, because when we talk about mesotherapy, we do not mean a radical method of correcting a double chin, such as, for example, liposuction. This needs to be understood. That is why I can say with confidence that the method allows you to get rid of a double chin, but the number of necessary procedures to achieve a visible result and the need to combine this correction method with other methods (for example, hardware) is determined and recommended by a cosmetologist individually.
— Is chin mesotherapy suitable as monotherapy or is it better to combine it with something? If yes, then with what?
− Suitable both as monotherapy and in combination with other methods. It is unlikely that monotherapy will give a 100% result in the case of significant fat deposits, but it will undoubtedly improve the situation and the patient will be satisfied. The question of the need and possibility of combining mesotherapy with other methods of chin correction is always posed to the patient and the cosmetologist, but I will say again that everything depends on each specific case. There are currently enough procedures for correcting a double chin to determine options for combining 2-3 techniques per course. And no more is required. On the day of the session and 2 days after, it is not recommended to perform any other influences, as they can reduce the effect of mesotherapy. This can be manual massage, Rf-lifting, dermotonia, and ozone therapy...
Those interested in the question “How to get rid of a double chin” should know that “removing” excess fat deposits only means partially solving the problem. Very often, patients want to quickly get rid of a double chin and sometimes do not suspect (even though our patients are well-informed) that with the rapid “melting” of fat, the skin in the correction area also sag quickly. It is important to understand that if a cosmetologist offers a course of correction of a double chin, consisting of 2-3 methods, this is done, as a rule, not in order to increase the cost of treatment, but in order to influence not only the fat cell (adipocyte ), but also on all factors involved in the development of the problem. It is necessary to stimulate peripheral blood circulation, strengthen the walls of blood vessels, improve turgor, skin elasticity, and influence connective tissue... Otherwise, with the disappearance of the double chin, the patient faces a new serious problem of excess skin in the double chin area.
— How to remove a double chin using mesotherapy? What drugs are injected into this area?
− To correct a double chin using mesotherapy, several different drugs of plant and animal origin (fetal) or synthesized in laboratories are used during the course. The composition of the cocktail is always chosen by a cosmetologist, based on the problem and individual characteristics of the body. A professional specialist who knows how to remove a double chin selects components that eliminate lymph stagnation, improve blood microcirculation, relieve swelling and, of course, lipolytics.
— Since when has the technique been certified in Russia?
− Medical technology - “Mesotherapy in dermatocosmetology” (RU M3 RF No. FS-2006/057-04) was registered in Russia in 2006.
— How many sessions are needed? How often? What is the maximum interval between sessions?
− The number of procedures varies. It is determined by the severity of the problem, the patient’s age and his adaptive abilities. On average, 2-10 chin correction procedures. Sometimes the result is noticeable after the first procedure, but more often by the third or fourth. Procedures are carried out once every 7-14 days, depending on the drugs used. Lipolytic drugs, such as phosphatidylcholine, are administered once every 10-14 days. And then 1 maintenance procedure per month is recommended.
— What is the pricing system for this zone? Minimum price?
−Different clinics and beauty salons calculate this procedure by zone, by the amount of drug administered, by the number of drugs in the cocktail. The cost starts from 2000 thousand per procedure.
- This area is very painful. What are your pain management options? How long before the procedure should the anesthetic be applied for maximum effect?
− Pain sensations depend on individual sensitivity, on the drugs used in the cocktail, and, in a sense, on the mesotherapist’s technique. To reduce pain, before getting rid of a double chin, apply anesthetic cream Emla 5% or Anestop for 15-20 minutes. Considering the small area of the double chin, locality and speed of implementation, the procedures are usually tolerated by the patient with minimal discomfort.
— What are the contraindications? Possible complications?
− Contraindications to injection mesotherapy of the chin are the same as for mesotherapy in general: cholelithiasis, allergic reaction to injected drugs and their components, acute infectious disease (the procedure is best performed a week after recovery), pregnancy, lactation, autoimmune diseases, cancer diseases, hemorrhagic syndrome, taking anticoagulants, retinoids and antibiotics, poor epithelization, exacerbation of dermatoses, intolerance to the drug (a preliminary test is recommended).
When correcting the chin with any drugs, complications are possible in the form of a secondary infection; granulomas also need to be remembered. The reason for this may be the presence of foci of infection at the site of mesotherapy (acne, facial pyoderma, herpetic infection...), insufficient disinfection before and after the procedure, or the patient’s failure to comply with the cosmetologist’s recommendations for home care of the corrected area.
Eschimosis cannot be called a serious complication. But some patients are upset by them. What to do with them?
− It is very difficult to imagine injection techniques separately from bruises. This is an undesirable temporary phenomenon that every doctor has encountered in his practice. Ecchymosis is not a rule, but in practice it most often becomes the rule, especially for patients with thin, sensitive skin, rosacea, and blood coagulation disorders.
In order to minimize the likelihood of bruising after chin mesotherapy, the cosmetologist asks the patient not to take aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs the day before the procedure. It is not recommended to carry out the procedure at the beginning of the menstrual cycle.
During the procedure, the doctor controls the depth and speed of drug administration; the faster and deeper the injections, the more likely bruises will appear. Immediately after the injections, you can apply an ice pack or firmly press the injection site with a finger and wait 1-3 minutes.
If it was not possible to avoid bruises or ecchymoses appeared the next day after the procedure, it is recommended to use hepatrombin, troxevasin or heparin ointments, Lyoton gel, gel with badyaga, creams with arnica and vitamin K. This will help shorten the rehabilitation period, but, unfortunately, not in one day. Therefore, it is easier to try to prevent such reactions as much as possible.
Is the volume of administered drugs strictly regulated? Is there a technique to help get rid of a double chin using mesotherapy?
− There are prescribed methodological recommendations for the use of a particular drug, which prescribe the compatibility, quantity, and frequency of administration of drugs designed for the procedure; then everything depends on the qualifications of the doctor who will carry out the procedure.
Failure by a cosmetologist to follow the technique of administering drugs can lead not only to a decrease in the effectiveness of the procedure, but also to a number of unwanted side effects. There are societies of mesotherapists, where doctors share personal experience and improve existing techniques, develop the most effective and safe ways to correct the chin and cellulite in general using the mesotherapy method.
Of course, when carrying out any injection techniques, in rare cases side effects may occur, even when the procedure was carried out correctly. Therefore, you need to contact only a qualified specialist who can always prevent or promptly eliminate all the negative consequences of mesotherapy if they occur.
In general, in order to avoid any frightening complications, you need to choose the “right” institution, a qualified specialist and speak honestly about your health, without hiding anything. Before a course of chin mesotherapy, the doctor may recommend preliminary examinations in order to determine possible contraindications.
If you need results very quickly
In this case, it is better to start with a consultation with a plastic surgeon. Only a personal examination allows you to determine exactly why the chin is drooping and concentrate on eliminating the causes.
Cosmetology has ample opportunities to eliminate problems.
- Loose skin on the chin is perfectly tightened using the unique micro-injection technique of Botox.
Expert comment:
- If a sagging chin is caused by excess fat accumulation, the use of modern lipolytics Michelangelo and INNO-TDS Draining ppc shows excellent results. Their effectiveness is comparable to liposuction and helps even in cases where diet and fitness have proved their impotence.
- Nano liposuction of the double chin with laser. Tiny cannulas are inserted under the skin through 2-3 mm punctures, which heal without a trace. But this is not the only advantage of the technique. During the fat removal process, the laser beam stimulates the skin and even eliminates a sagging chin: after the procedure, the skin independently contracts and tightens

Liposuction ↑
If cheeks and extra chin appear as a result of excess weight gain, then liposuction can effectively remove them. Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that involves removing excess fat through small punctures (no more than 3 millimeters long). First of all, fat is broken down using a special solution, laser or ultrasound. This is followed by vacuum pumping of fat.
Nowadays laser liposuction is very popular, which, in addition to removing fat, also slightly tightens the skin. The lifting effect occurs due to the thermal effect of the laser on the skin, which triggers regeneration processes and, thus, collagen fibers begin to be produced.
Help from cosmetologists
In beauty salons, procedures for chin correction are selected individually. Each method has its positive and negative sides:
- The most radical ones include bioreinforcement. This is a special medical technology, as a result of which an artificial gel facial frame is introduced. The patient may be offered several options: Botox injection, biorevitalization, mesotherapy. These procedures are best performed after 40 years. The method is very effective, but bruises appear after the injections.
- But ozone therapy is effective only up to 50 years. An ozone mixture is injected under the skin; at first, unpleasant sensations may be observed.
- Iontophoresis is a painful procedure, but the action of electrical impulses will bring lasting results.
- Lymphatic drainage is a special manual or hardware massage that eliminates fluid stagnation.
- Myostimulation or exposure to pulsed currents is used in combination with lymphatic drainage and injections of fat breakers.
- Ultrasound therapy differs in the duration of treatment. Used in combination with creams and gel.
In order not to resort to expensive innovative cosmetic methods, it is still better to regularly prevent the appearance of a double chin and adhere to a healthy lifestyle.

How is a face and chin lift performed?
At an appointment with a specialist, the patient’s skin condition is assessed and the type and number of threads needed is determined. Next, a day is appointed when the person must arrive at the cosmetology center to undergo the lifting procedure itself.
Using the finest needles, mesothreads are inserted into the epithelial layers of the skin into the problem area.
If the mesothreads are needle-shaped or braided, then the areas where they will be introduced are first locally anesthetized.
The mesothread facelift procedure itself takes about 30 minutes, but the time may vary somewhat depending on how many biological threads are used. There is no need to stay in the clinic for a long time after the procedure, since the process of decomposition of the injected material occurs over 2 calendar months. And it does not bring any discomfort to the patient.
In the first days, slight swelling of the skin and hematoma may be observed at the sites where the mesothreads were inserted; this is considered normal. The effect of the procedure lasts for 1.5 – 2 years.

Proper nutrition
As a rule, a double chin is a consequence of poor nutrition. Following these rules will help give your skin a firm, healthy look:
- Maintaining water regime. You need to drink 2 liters of clean water a day. With a lack of fluid, the body begins to save it, which manifests itself in the form of edema.
- Eating plenty of vegetables and fruits.
- Quitting bad habits, in particular alcohol. Drinking alcoholic beverages also leads to swelling of the face.
- Calcium helps the body when losing weight. It’s not for nothing that many diets are based on the consumption of cottage cheese, fish, and dried fruits.
- Reducing salt intake.
