The principle of fat and thinness: if you lack qi, you will be fat, and if you lack blood, you will be thin!
Qi is the driving force of the human body. Blood is the source of this motivation. Together, they drive the conversion and metabolism of energy in the body. The human body must have a balance of qi and blood, so that it will be energetic and free from all diseases. The most important thing to see if you are healthy or not is to see if your qi and blood are balanced.
In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a saying that "blood is the mother of qi, and qi is the handsome of blood". Without the command and impetus of blood, it will not be able to reach where the body needs it; Qi has no blood as the foundation, and Qi becomes an evil fire in the body. If qi is deficient, people will be tired, weak, short of breath and lazy speech, loss of appetite, dizziness, and paleness; If there is a deficiency of blood, people will have heart palpitations, insomnia, emaciation, dry skin, and yellowish complexion.
A person with balanced qi and blood, the movement of the body's internal qi is sufficient, after eating, the nutrients that should be absorbed are absorbed, the excretion is excreted, and the gasification is dissolved, and his body will not be fat or thin. A person with qi deficiency does not have sufficient movement of qi in the body, and after eating, the nutrients that should be absorbed are not absorbed, the nutrients that should be excreted are not excreted, and the substances that should be vaporized are not vaporized, and as a result, these substances that are not vaporized are converted into fat and piled up. What is fat? Fat is the garbage in the body that has not been vaporized.
The garbage on the liver that has not been vaporized is called fatty liver; The garbage in the blood vessels that has not been vaporized is called hyperlipidemia; The garbage on the belly that has not been vaporized is called a small belly...... Therefore, qi deficiency is the real cause of obesity, and obesity is the most obvious indication for judging a person's qi deficiency.
1. There are four voids of qi
Fat people are weak, why are they deficient? There are no more than four reasons: one is qi deficiency, the second is yang deficiency, the third is phlegm dampness, and the fourth is dampness and heat.
Qi deficiency means that the qi in this person's body is insufficient, and the vaporization function is weak, and the fat in the body cannot be vaporized.
Yang deficiency refers to the weakness of a person's yang qi, which causes the gasification function to weaken, and the ancients called this kind of fat person "fat man".
Phlegm and dampness refer to the fact that the qi in the human body is not deficient, but due to the presence of phlegm and dampness in the body, the combination of these two things hinders the operation of the body's internal qi and causes the body's qi deficiency. The ancients called this kind of fat man "anointed man", and in "Shuowen Jie Zi", it is said: "The condensed person is called fat, and the person who releases it is called ointment", which means that the fat meat condensed together is called fat, and the soft fat is called ointment, and the ointment person is the fat on the body that is loose and loose.
Dampness and heat refer to the combination of dampness and heat in the body, which hinders the flow of qi in the body, thus causing qi deficiency. The ancients called such people "meat people". In "The Soul of the Guard", it is said: "Those who are fleshy are tolerant of the upper and lower. "This kind of fat man is round, up and down, and full of meat at a glance.
Second, people have four fat
The general outline is as follows- The timid fat man is qi weak; Fat people who are afraid of cold have yang deficiency; Fat people with swollen eyes and blisters have phlegm and dampness; Fat people who are impatient and irritable have damp heat.
To see whether a fat person is qi deficiency, you should first look at how brave he is, generally speaking, a timid fat person is qi deficiency.
Qi is the driving force of the human body, and if the power is insufficient, people will become weak and timid, do not like to talk, do not like to exercise, do not like to take risks, are listless all day long, panting, and always timid when talking.
To see if a fat person is qi deficiency, special attention should also be paid to the tongue. The fat man with qi deficiency has a fat tongue, a pale red tongue, and tooth marks on the edges.
There are distinct tooth marks on both sides of the tongue. The tooth mark tongue is mostly caused by the fat tongue and the compression of the tooth margin. The reason for the fat tongue is that there is too much water, and the water soaks the tongue so much, why is there so much water? This is because of qi deficiency, the gasification function is weak, and the water and moisture metabolism cannot be vaporized. Therefore, if a fat person has tooth marks on his tongue, then, nine times out of ten, this fat person belongs to the qi deficiency type.
Finally, to determine whether it is a qi deficiency type fat person, it also depends on his mental state, generally qi deficiency type fat people are short of breath and lazy, easy to fatigue, and often dizzy and forgetful.
"Qi is the handsome of blood", qi deficiency, the power to promote blood circulation is weak, and the blood is slow, people will be short of breath and lazy, and they are easy to be tired. Qi deficiency is weak and the blood cannot reach the face sufficiently, so this kind of person is always fat in vain. As the ancients said, "His people are fat and white, and most of them are qi deficiency."
Treatment:Codonopsis ginseng has a sweet and flat taste, nourishes the middle and invigorates qi, strengthens the spleen and lungs, and is used for qi deficiency, fatigue, fatigue, shortness of breath and shortness of breath. Eat more millet, carrots, and shiitake mushrooms, as these are all qi-replenishing foods.
There is a type of fat person who is particularly afraid of the cold, and he has to wear autumn clothes and pants on a hot day.
Secondly, to see whether a fat person is yang deficiency, it also depends on the urine and urine. Fat people with yang deficiency have loose stools and long urine.
In addition, some fat people with yang deficiency will also have impotence.
Regularly massage the three acupuncture points of Changqiang, Mingmen and Baihui on the back and Du Mai. The governor of the Governor is full of yang energy, and regular massage of these acupuncture points can make the yang energy grow.
There is a type of fat person who has a lot of qi, but because there is phlegm and dampness in the body, it hinders the rise and fall of qi, so the qi gradually weakens, and the person gradually gets fat.
How to tell if a fat person has phlegm and dampness in his body?
First of all, it should be seen whether he has swollen eye bubbles. The fat man with phlegm and dampness in his body has a shiny forehead and two large swollen eye bubbles hanging under his eyes. "The spleen is the source of phlegm", the spleen is mainly transported, if a person's phlegm and dampness accumulate in the body, and the spleen is out of balance, the spleen will not rise, and the spleen will not rise, and the person's eyelids will be swollen.
To see if there is phlegm and dampness in a fat person's body, you should also look at his waist and abdomen. Although fat people with qi deficiency are called "fat people", they belong to "uniform obesity", with a fat belly and a well-proportioned body. Although the fat man with yang deficiency is called a "fat man", he is fat from top to bottom. There is a type of fat people, they have a small body and a large abdomen, and the fat is concentrated in the abdomen, circle after circle, which is jokingly called "swimming circle". If a fat person wears a swimming ring and his waist and abdomen are fat and sagging, then he probably has phlegm and dampness in his body.
To see if a fat man has phlegm and dampness, it also depends on whether he often has chest tightness and phlegm. "The lungs are the storage of phlegm", a person has phlegm dampness in the body, and the lungs are lost, and the person will have chest tightness and phlegm.
Workaround:It is also good to eat winter melon, red adzuki beans, lotus leaves and hawthorn, and loquat leaves. These foods can dissolve dampness, promote the lungs, diuretic, and strengthen the spleen, and after eating for a long time, the phlegm in the body will dissolve, and the qi and blood will be unimpeded. At the same time, it is necessary to insist on proper exercise.
Fat people who are impatient and irritable have damp heat. There is a type of fat person, which the ancients called "meat people", and we call it sturdy obesity, which is the opposite of fatness. They have an impatient personality and get angry at every turn. In fact, the irritability and irritability of such fat people are not born, but because they have dampness and heat in their bodies.
Dampness is the stagnant water in the body, and the combination of stagnant water and phlegm becomes phlegm dampness, and the combination of stagnant water and heat becomes dampness and heat.
How can you tell if you are a hot and humid type of fat?
First of all, you can observe the face, if the body is too hot and humid, the face will appear oily, at a glance, the face is like a piece of oily paper, oily and shiny, touch it with your hands, feel a layer of oil. In addition, there are often acne and acne on the face, and many cases of acne are due to the accumulation of dampness and heat in the body, which cannot be discharged, and finally provoked on the face, which is also what we usually call acne.
To see if a fat man is hot and humid, you should also look at the amount of food he eats. People with damp heat type have a strong appetite and can eat very well, but being able to eat does not mean that the spleen and stomach function is normal, on the contrary, they are in a pathological state of "strong stomach and weak spleen". Dampness and heat in the body will affect the stomach, and the stomach has dampness and heat, which is called "gastric heat and dampness" in traditional Chinese medicine, and after the stomach is heated, its function will be hyperactive, and then the amount of food will increase greatly, and people will feel hungry at every turn. However, if the stomach is too strong, it will inevitably increase the burden of spleen transport, and the spleen has the effect of "transporting water and dampness", and the excessive burden of the spleen is easy to cause "internal stagnation of water and dampness". Therefore, Taoist doctors call this kind of fat person "gastric heat and damp resistance obesity".
To see whether there is dampness and heat in a fat person's body, you should also look at his eyes, damp heat and heat, hot blood, then there will be red bloodshot in the person's eyes, no pain or itching, Western medicine says that this is a reaction of the immune system. In fact, this is a manifestation of dampness and heat in the body.
Such people can eat more mung beans, winter melon, bitter gourd, lotus seeds, barley and other foods that clear away heat and dampness, and never eat spicy and dry products.
There is also a simple and effective small method that can be used as a daily conditioning, that is, massage the Quchi acupoint of the elbow every day: use the thumb or middle finger to knead, 1~3 minutes each time, massage 1~2 times a day. This can play a role in dispelling wind and relieving the surface, clearing away heat and dampness.
Qi deficiency caused by different causes can be regulated according to the different methods introduced above.
