When obesity occurs, it is necessary to lose weight in a reasonable way. Efforts need to be made during the weight loss process, rather than just talking without taking action. By taking reasonable measures to promote the burning of fat substances, it is possible that the body’s obesity may persist. However, some people face great difficulties during weight loss. Despite exercising regularly and controlling diet reasonably, they still experience obesity. What could be the reasons behind this? It should be thoroughly understood.
Many people fail to lose weight and suspect it may be due to excessive body dampness. In fact, the physical changes caused by excessive dampness are significantly different from obesity. Excessive dampness indicates a decrease in the function of the spleen and stomach, resulting in reduced ability to transform and transport water, leading to water accumulation in the body causing a bloated appearance, similar to obesity.
However, this type of obesity is virtual, without actual fat accumulation. If there is significant obesity due to excessive body fat content, it needs to be distinguished from excessive dampness. To maintain a perfect figure, one should reduce the intake of high-calorie foods, exercise regularly, engage in aerobic exercises, strength training to promote calorie expenditure, quit smoking and drinking, maintain a regular schedule, only then can the success rate of weight loss be improved.
Who are the ones truly suffering from excessive dampness?
1. Those who frequently consume raw and cold food and have sticky stools.
Those truly suffering from excessive dampness are those who overindulge in their diet, regularly consume foods of a cold and cool nature that are detrimental to the enhancement of spleen and stomach functions. This may damage the spleen and stomach, leading to a reduction in the body’s ability to transform and transport water, causing the spleen and stomach to become weak. This can be accompanied by a loss of appetite, indigestion, and easily deformable stools. Such behavior needs to be changed. One should obtain the necessary nutrients through a reasonable and regular diet, while avoiding damaging the spleen and stomach by staying away from raw, cold, and cool-natured foods.
2. Those who do not pay attention to keeping joints warm and are prone to joint pain.
To improve excessive dampness, attention should also be paid to keeping the body warm. Those truly suffering from excessive dampness tend to disregard body warmth and protection. Changes in weather, exposure to cold air, or staying in damp environments for prolonged periods can allow dampness to invade the body, affecting overall health. If someone already has rheumatoid arthritis, exposure to cold or damp environments can exacerbate symptoms. Therefore, it is important to focus on keeping the body warm and dry to prevent the aggravation of dampness.
3. Those who lack exercise and experience fatigue and weakness.
For those truly suffering from excessive dampness, lack of physical activity is quite common. Prolonged sedentary behavior can lead to a decrease in the body’s circulation and metabolic capabilities, which is detrimental to the improvement of organ functions. Many people develop weak spleen and stomach functions due to lack of exercise and prolonged inactivity. Adequate physical activity can increase the basal metabolic rate, accelerate the elimination of internal dampness, enhance resistance, and maintain stable endocrine function. Otherwise, prolonged lack of physical activity leads to weakened spleen and stomach, resulting in excessive dampness.
