Year of Bingwu ‘Slimming’ Guide: In 2026, these Five Elements are more likely to succeed in losing weight!

Hello everyone (๑╹◡╹)ﾉ” This is your 6th meeting with Huo Yun.

The Spring Festival is over, have you noticed that your belly seems fuller than before? (manually adds dog head)

Don’t panic! In fact, every year, as the five elements cycle and fortunes fluctuate, they quietly affect our metabolism and physical constitution—there are always times when you find yourself mysteriously losing weight or having extra energy for dieting!

For example, I took advantage of the ‘Partial Seal’ affecting my ‘Food God’ last year and lost almost 30 jin ><

Today, let’s talk about:

Which Five Elements Are Likely to Lose Weight in 2026?

Reason for being listed:

Jia wood is like a towering tree, inherently possessing the characteristics of growing upward and stretching out.

In the year of Bingwu, the fire is vigorous, and wood generates fire, which is considered ‘feeding and exhausting talent,’ meaning that the energy output and metabolic rate of people with Jia wood will significantly increase.

If you are Jia Wood that needs fire to warm your situation and adjust the season (for example, born in autumn or winter, with a Bazi leaning towards cold), then in 2026 you will find yourself naturally burning calories more easily, with increased exercise efficiency, and losing weight will be twice as effective with half the effort.

Fire also represents positivity and initiative. This year, you will have strong motivation to follow through with your fitness plan and adjust your diet, and you are unlikely to slack off midway~

Points to note:

Excessive fire may deplete too much wood energy, leading to overactive liver qi circulation. It’s important to avoid excessive exercise, staying up late, or extreme diets, otherwise you may experience physical exhaustion, irritability, or dry skin.

This year, you are suitable for gentle and long-lasting aerobic exercise, combined with a diet that nourishes yin and clears dryness (such as white fungus, lily bulbs, and leafy greens), which will be more beneficial for long-term maintenance of your physique~

Reason for being listed:

In the Bingwu year 2026, with water and fire in conflict, for Ren water people who favor fire for regulation (for example, those born in winter, with cold water and cold metal), this year it is actually easier to achieve a balance between metabolism and absorption.

Fire is the ‘wealth’ of Ren Water; when wealth is abundant, material desires are plentiful, but the wisdom of Ren Water lies in flow and regulation.

This year, you may naturally choose a more active lifestyle, enjoy participating in outdoor activities and team sports, and find it easier to adjust your diet.

A state where water and fire merge is beneficial for reducing edema and improving circulation, making it easier for body weight to steadily decrease within a dynamic balance.

Points to note:

Be cautious of ‘too much fire and too little water.’ In the Bingwu year, the fire is excessively strong; if one’s water is weak, it is easy to experience fatigue, thirst, metabolic disorders, and even harm the body due to excessive pursuit of weight loss.

Everyone must make sure to stay hydrated, get enough sleep, engage in exercises that are ‘gentle yet firm’ such as swimming and yoga, and increase foods that clear heat and generate fluids in your diet, such as winter melon, cucumber, and mung beans~

Reason for being listed:

Geng Metal is like tough iron ore, and it likes to see fire for forging the most.

In the year 2026, the Bingwu year, the Geng Metal encounters the ‘Seven Killings’ fire for refining and overcoming. Although the sense of pressure will increase, this is also an excellent year for the body to ‘eliminate impurities and preserve the essence,’ shedding excess fat.

In reality, it’s likely that you lose weight because of too much work pressure and intensity ><

Especially for those with strong Metal in their Bazi, Geng Metal people who need Fire to temper them, this year you will find that your body responds more easily to rigorous training and dietary control.

Fire overcoming Metal also corresponds to the lung qi dispersing and the skin being firm, making it easier to develop muscle lines, and weight loss is often accompanied by noticeable improvements in posture.

Points to note:

This year, the fire is too strong and overcomes metal excessively, so one should guard against respiratory dryness, skin allergies, or gastroenteritis.

It is recommended that the fitness plan focus on gradual intensity increase, rather than ramping up too much all at once. At the same time, it should be paired with sufficient protein and lung-nourishing foods, such as yam, pear, honey, etc.

Everyone should also note that this year is the Year of Seven Killings, which comes with high pressure. Be careful not to overeat due to stress, and it’s better to manage your weight through regular exercise rather than extreme dieting~

That’s it for this issue～The Year of the Horse is coming, and here, Qingming wishes all the Wuxing members all the best, with joy following peace of mind!
