See if you are really fat or fake fat
In traditional Chinese medicine, obesity can be simply divided into two categories: excessive obesity and puffy obesity. Puffy obesity can be divided into spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction of spleen deficiency and kidney deficiency. Excessive obesity has stomach heat, phlegm, blood stasis and stagnant blood stasis. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the causes of obesity can be divided into two types: internal and external factors. Internally due to "deficiency of true yang, weakness of temper, and stagnation of phlegm dampness inside". The external cause is excessive eating and too little exercise. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the "spleen" governs the muscles and can transport nutrients from food to digest to nourish the whole body. If true yang is insufficient, the spleen will lose its health and the body's transportation and transformation function will be abnormal. It will easily turn into phlegm and fat and accumulate in the skin, resulting in obesity. In fact, there are not many people who belong to the puffiness and water-fat type. What people in this category need is to replenish qi, strengthen spleen, remove dampness, and adjust metabolism, rather than blindly dieting. Even if they don't eat much, the effect will not be obvious.
