Damp-heat physique
In traditional Chinese medicine, "damp-heat physique" refers to a condition where there is an excess of dampness and heat in the body, which manifests as symptoms such as dry mouth and throat, sticky skin, and excessive sweating. Obesity, on the other hand, refers to a condition where there is an excessive amount of body fat, leading to a weight that is beyond the normal range.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the reason why damp-heat physique is associated with obesity is that dampness and heat can weaken the function of the spleen and stomach, leading to poor digestion, overeating, and excessive accumulation of fat. Additionally, damp-heat physique can also cause metabolic dysfunction, affecting energy consumption and leading to even more fat accumulation in the body.
Therefore, for people with a damp-heat physique, the key to weight loss is to regulate the spleen and stomach, enhance digestion, and adjust metabolism to reduce fat accumulation. Common methods for regulating damp-heat physique include:
Dietary regulation: People with damp-heat physique should pay attention to a light diet, eat less spicy and stimulating foods, and sweets, and consume more fiber-rich foods such as vegetables and fruits, which can promote digestion and excretion.
Exercise regulation: Appropriate exercise can promote metabolism, enhance digestion, and help reduce fat accumulation. However, excessive exercise should be avoided to prevent dehydration and physical exhaustion.
Herbal medicine regulation: Herbal medicine can be selected based on individual conditions, with effects such as clearing heat and detoxification, eliminating dampness and phlegm, and regulating the spleen and stomach to help regulate damp-heat physique.
Magnetic Slimming: According to data from the investigation of eight major factors, overeating spicy and stimulating foods, greasy foods, sweets, raw and cold foods, and irregular diets are more likely to lead to damp-heat physique. Xian Chuan therapy can easily help you lose weight through a course of treatment.
Phlegm-dampness
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), phlegm-dampness constitution refers to the accumulation of dampness and phlegm in the body, which leads to an imbalance in the body. There is indeed a certain correlation between phlegm-dampness constitution and obesity.
Firstly, people with phlegm-dampness constitution often have poor digestive function and poor intestinal function, which means that their bodies cannot digest food in a timely manner, resulting in food staying in the body for too long and forming phlegm-dampness constitution. This situation is also likely to lead to an excessive accumulation of fat in the body, causing obesity. Secondly, people with phlegm-dampness constitution are prone to accumulate dampness in the body. This dampness is converted into fat in the liver, leading to obesity. In addition, dampness can also obstruct blood circulation and affect fat metabolism. Furthermore, people with phlegm-dampness constitution often have a lack of exercise and poor metabolic function, coupled with unhealthy habits in life, such as staying up late and overeating, which also easily lead to obesity.
Therefore, for people with phlegm-dampness constitution, in addition to paying attention to dietary hygiene and healthy lifestyle habits, they should a
lso strengthen physical exercise to enhance their metabolic function, which can help to improve obesity and phlegm-dampness constitution. Additionally, TCM treatment is also an effective way to improve phlegm-dampness constitution and weight loss. One example is Magnetic Slimming, which can help strengthen people's metabolism, thereby achieving the alleviation and elimination of phlegm-dampness constitution.
