People who love to grow "nodules" and "polyps" generally have these two characteristics! Hurry up and adjust in time!
Many people find that they are prone to nodules during physical examinations, but in fact, in addition to genetics, it is also related to physical fitness!
Feng Chunxiang, chief physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Internal Medicine of the Eye Hospital of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, pointed out in an article in the Health Times in 2022 that phlegm-damp physique is relatively easy to grow nodules and polyps, and it is necessary to pay more attention, adjust it in time, and return to a normal physique, which can avoid the occurrence of nodules and polyps.
People with phlegm-damp constitution love to have "nodules" and "polyps"
The so-called phlegm-dampness constitution is the physical state formed by the accumulation of dampness into phlegm and the condensation of phlegm and dampness after the internal cessation of water and dampness in the human body. These phlegm and dampness will travel along the patient's meridians and coalesce somewhere between the five internal organs, and then form a variety of different nodules and polyps.
The vast majority of people with this type of constitution are relatively obese, with more body fat, especially the abdomen will be particularly soft. Many of these people have oily skin, especially the head and face.
In addition, the overall physical ability is weak, daily fatigue and weakness, energy and physical strength are insufficient, after a little activity or intense work, it is particularly tired, and a small number of serious cases will also have chest tightness, and even difficulty breathing.
If there is such a situation for a long time, it is recommended to go to the "preventive treatment" specialty of a large traditional Chinese medicine hospital.
Phlegm and dampness constitution generally have these two characteristics!
There are genetic factors in the formation of this physique, but the vast majority of them are acquired. This group of people generally has two characteristics:
First, they like high-fat and high-sugar diets, such as fatty meat, cream, chocolate, etc.;
