Why are we obese? There are many reasons, including genetic factors, habit factors, physical factors, diet structure, physical and mental diseases and so on. But in short, they have the same reason, that is, the spleen's ability to digest and absorb food is "too poor".
Some people will think that I typed the wrong word and should change it to "too strong". No, absolutely not! It is because everyone always thinks that obesity is because our absorption capacity is too strong, which leads to excess energy in the body, and our goal of losing weight will never be achieved. Because this is a completely different plan. Some people say that I have a good appetite, I can eat anything, and I am not full. Can this say that my spleen and stomach are weak? There is a proper term in Chinese medicine called "strong stomach and weak spleen", which obviously means that it can be eaten but not melted. The stomach is the receiving organ and the spleen is the transporting organ. Transportation and transformation include two meanings: transportation and transformation. Losing is to transform the food in the gastrointestinal tract into nutrients, and transport these nutrients to all parts of the body to become the qi and blood of the human body. Sometimes, although we eat a lot of food, the transforming ability of the spleen is too weak to transform food into nutrients. It's like a factory. Although it bought a lot of raw materials, the machinery and equipment in the factory were too poor. The processed things are either semi-finished products or defective products, and they can't be used normally at all. Do you think you are overnourished with fat? No, they're just a bunch of junk that can't be shipped. When your body needs energy, they are not reserves and will not be converted into qi and blood for you to use. On the contrary, they will prevent you from producing new qi and blood. These semi-finished products and defective products will never become the funds of the factory, but occupy the finished product warehouse for many years, making the finished products unable to be stored and realize their value. The same is true of the body. Fat occupies the position of normal muscles, and phlegm and blood stasis occupy the space of fresh blood. The qi and blood energy of the human body can never be generated, so the process of losing weight is the process of "removing the rough and getting the essence, removing the false and retaining the true"-the process of removing blood stasis and generating new ones.
Previous treatments were based on the concept of energy balance, which believed that reducing energy (food) intake, then excreting it as much as possible, and increasing energy expenditure, so as to achieve less input and more output, and negative energy balance would naturally lose weight. It seems reasonable on the surface, but it ignores a key problem: the waste (fat) accumulated in the body will not decompose and will be discharged by itself. But it takes a lot of qi and blood and a lot of energy to decompose into powder or liquid and be taken away by blood. This is like a factory spending a lot of money, manpower and material resources to recycle, sort out, decompose, throw away and reuse those defective and semi-finished products, thus freeing up warehouses and welcoming new high-quality products. Without a lot of financial (energy) support, this process can't be completed.
Where does this energy come from? You can only get it from food. If you go on a diet at this time, eating something is only enough for the basic metabolism of the human body for one day. So when can I save enough energy to take away the waste in my body? Some people say that I've really lost weight after being hungry for a while, but my meat is looser, my skin is wrinkled, I'm getting old, and my physical strength seems to be worse than before. This is because you break down a little bit of blood reserves in your body, break down normal muscles, and supply necessary energy for internal organs and important organs of your body. Instead of expelling the real waste in the body, the result will rebound quickly and be fatter than before.
Is muscle that important? You will ask? Of course, muscle is an important part of the spleen in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is an energy warehouse for storing, distributing and dispatching qi and blood. If you have been hungry to lose weight, you will tear down this warehouse to maintain the qi and blood demand of internal organs. Where is there enough space to maintain a healthy blood reserve in the future? The smaller this space is, the lower people's ability to reserve blood and blood funds in the future, and the rebound after losing weight is a doomed result. Therefore, if you want to keep healthy for a long time, please cherish your muscle and blood storage and scheduling resource warehouse.
There is also a more serious situation, that is, due to the role of some diet pills, the metabolism of the human body is abnormally accelerated and the body loses weight quickly. This is like selling the factory at a low price in order to get rid of the overstocked goods. It often causes thyroid dysfunction and myocardial substantial damage, and even causes renal failure. There is also a kind of anorexia nervosa, which is also fatal and lasting to the human body. Fortunately, as long as you understand that you can only lose weight effectively by eating more, this mental problem usually heals itself.
We already know the mechanism of obesity, so how to implement our weight loss plan? What I want to tell you is that it will be a relaxing and pleasant experience.
First of all, we should choose foods that can quickly increase qi and blood without fat, that is, foods that strengthen the spleen and nourish the blood. What are there? Many, yam, coix seed, gordon euryales, the three are the main commanders of strengthening the spleen and nourishing blood, and should not be underestimated! You can also enjoy beef, mutton, prawns, sea fish and eggs, but if you are the kind of person who can't eat enough meat, you don't need to be too deliberately restricted, because your body needs nutrients in meat to replenish blood. At this time, as long as you take 1-2 tablets of hawthorn pill after meals, it can help you digest meat quickly and turn it into blood beneficial to your body, without the trouble of fat. When qi and blood are supplemented, this meat-loving phenomenon will disappear. Vegetables and fruits are taboo, and beans and nuts are all you want to eat. Radish venting, melon diuresis and jujube nourishing blood and relaxing bowels are all good things to lose weight. But don't eat rice and flour, and eat less pork, fat duck, chicken, river fish, fast food, candy, cakes and cold food. Some foods vary from person to person: for example, milk is not suitable for people with abdominal distension, crabs are not suitable for people with cold stomach and so on.
When you feel hungry and weak, don't use sugar to solve the problem, because your body needs qi and blood at this time, not sugar. Staple food is also synonymous with sugar. Be careful! At this time, eating longan, red dates, fruits, beef, nuts and other foods that tonify qi and blood is much more beneficial to the body than eating whole grains!
Lose weight in this way, you will be relaxed and happy, everything will be forgiven, your blood will increase day by day, and your energy will increase rapidly. In the initial stage of losing weight, you won't lose much weight, usually you will gain a little. Watching weighing scale's pointer rise, you don't need to be depressed, because it is the increase of muscle density, not the weight of qi and blood. But outsiders see that you have lost weight. At this time, your feeling is that your body is strong and your strength is enhanced. You should congratulate yourself.
Next, we can let nature take its course. As energy accumulates to a certain extent, it will automatically impact the body's fat. At this time, you can push the spleen meridian of the calf with the action of the body, and the acupoints of the spleen meridian will be extremely sensitive at this time. But people often don't have that much patience and need to see the effect immediately, so they have to choose some laxatives that suit them first. The role of laxatives is usually laxative, diuretic and blood-activating. When using these laxatives, it is best to take some drugs that tonify qi and blood at the same time, such as Shiquan Dabu Pill and Buzhong Yiqi Pill. This not only doubles the intensity of diarrhea, but also does not hurt the spleen and stomach at all. This can speed up the discharge of fat in the body, with diarrhea and tonic, diarrhea is waste and tonic is qi and blood. One out and one in, and then embarked on a virtuous circle.
