1.Dr. Li from Peking Union Medical College HospitalSaid: "The navel is one of the important acupuncture points in the human body (Shenque point). Appropriate stimulation may help promote local blood circulation, but there is no scientific basis for directly placing objects to lose weight. Excessive stimulation may also cause skin allergies or infections."
2.Nutrition expert Professor WangPointed out: "The core of weight loss is a calorie deficit. Any 'shortcut' that does not change your diet and exercise habits will be difficult to achieve lasting results. Ginger, pepper, etc. do have certain pharmacological effects, but the amount absorbed through the belly button is minimal."
3.Dermatology Director LiuReminder: “The skin of the navel is thin, and direct contact with irritating items may cause contact dermatitis, especially for people with sensitive skin.”

| exercise plan | 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week | Aerobic + strength training is the best |
| living habits | Guarantee 7-8 hours of quality sleep | Lack of sleep increases hunger hormone levels |
| Traditional Chinese Medicine Conditioning | Acupoint massage/moxibustion in formal institutions | Requires professional physician operation |

There is no shortcut to losing weight. The "belly button weight loss method" is more of a psychological comfort effect. Instead of blindly trying various online remedies, it is better to establish scientific eating and exercise habits.
