Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt startled? Your belly keeps expanding, the clinic warns you to watch out for hypertension and hyperglycemia, and while you try to dismiss it as simple middle-age spread, a sudden sense of worry creeps in. Did you know this might not be mere middle-age spread, but a critical danger signal sent from deep within your body? Donguibogam referred to this state as 'accumulation and gathering (jeokchwi)'.

If your body shape has changed with the onset of the climacteric, you are not alone. Many women struggle with middle-age spread and abdominal obesity.
