Does excessive moisture cause obesity?

We often see two kinds of people around us, one is fat and the other is thin. The thinner people often eat more and never get fat no matter how much they eat. Fat people eat very little and still gain weight even if they only eat fruits. They just never lose weight. We call this kind of fat "pseudo-fat". "Popular" here refers to spleen deficiency, which will lead to heavy moisture in the body. So, will heavy moisture cause obesity?

We all know that there are two organs in the body that manage water, the kidneys and the spleen. The kidneys like water, while the spleen hates water and likes dryness.

In a healthy person, the strength of the kidneys and spleen is comparable. The kidney yang can react with food nutrients to generate body temperature and evaporate water upwards. It is the kidney's ability to distribute water throughout the body.

The spleen is in charge of the stomach and intestines, and absorbs water from the body into the blood. The blood then transports the water back to the kidneys, and some of it is made into urine, thus forming a circulation of body fluids.

However, if there is too much moisture in the body and the spleen function is overloaded, it will lead to spleen deficiency, that is, moisture will accumulate in the body in large quantities, forming heavy moisture. Therefore, most people with heavy moisture are accompanied by spleen deficiency!

Although excessive moisture will not directly lead to obesity, it is closely related to obesity.

1. People with heavy moisture have heavy tastes and eat a lot of high-oil and salt foods, which can easily cause poor circulation and accumulation of moisture in the body, which can easily cause an imbalance of acidity and alkalinity in the body and lead to an acidic constitution.

2. Heavy moisture makes people afraid of cold, which leads to fat accumulation and more fat is used to keep warm.

3. Heavy moisture causes insufficient Qi and blood. There is not enough energy to expel waste from the body, so it accumulates in the gaps between the body's tissues and gradually increases, causing people to gain weight.
