Why is there upper body obesity?

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine: upper body fat with spleen and stomach deficiency, lower body fat with liver and gallbladder deficiency. If you are obese, especially with full upper body and abdomen, greasy, sweaty and sticky facial skin, prone to drowsiness, sweet food, dislike of exercise, delayed menstruation and less menstruation, then you are likely to have phlegm-dampness constitution.

Extended data:

Phlegm dampness is not only what we usually call "phlegm", but also refers to a series of symptoms caused by abnormal metabolism of water and dampness in the body, including heavy body, greasy face, sticky mouth and so on. The most representative manifestation of phlegm-dampness is obesity.

Staying in the liver will cause fatty liver, staying in the skin will cause obesity, and staying in the abdomen will form a general belly and central obesity. Eating more and exercising less is the main reason for phlegm-dampness constitution. With the better living conditions in modern society, people often overeat fatty and heavy foods and lack exercise. These foods cannot be digested and digested normally in the body, which often leads to phlegm and dampness.

Key points of diet to lose weight:

If you are a fat man with phlegm-dampness constitution, remember that to lose weight, you must first strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis, and eliminate phlegm and turbidity. First of all, we should put an end to sweets, abstain from alcohol and avoid overeating and eating too fast. We should always eat mild food, and eat more vegetables and fruits, especially some foods with the functions of invigorating spleen, promoting diuresis, removing blood stasis and resolving phlegm.

Recommended food: papaya, white radish, jujube, red beans, yam, coix seed, beef, mutton, silver carp, lemon, cherry, chestnut, etc.

Taboo foods: caramel, pomegranate, grapefruit, loquat, sugar, etc.

Be sure to exercise:

People with phlegm-dampness constitution are obese, heavy and easy to get tired, so it is best to insist on physical exercise for a long time, walking, jogging, ball games, swimming and various dances. The amount of activity should be gradually enhanced, so that the relaxed muscles can be gradually transformed into strong and dense muscles.
