Fat, qi and blood.
The human body needs a balance of qi and blood, so that it will be full of energy and will not be attacked by all diseases. The most important thing for health is to see whether qi and blood are balanced.
So, what is qi?
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, human qi includes liver qi, lung qi, kidney qi, spleen qi, defensive qi, ying qi and clan qi. In fact, anger is very simple, you just need to remember one sentence-
Qi is the power of human body. Blood is the source of this power. They jointly promote the transformation and metabolism of energy in the body.
Chinese medicine has a saying that "blood is the mother of qi, and qi is handsome in blood". Without the commander-in-chief and promotion of qi and blood, it is impossible to reach the place where the body needs it; On the basis of qi without blood, qi becomes an evil fire in the body. Qi deficiency, people will be tired, short of breath, lazy, loss of appetite, dizziness, pale; Blood deficiency leads to palpitation and insomnia, emaciation, dry skin and sallow complexion.
People with a balance of qi and blood have full exercise of qi in their bodies. After eating, the nutrients that should be absorbed are absorbed, the excretion is excreted, and the gasification is gone, so his body will not be fat or thin. A person with qi deficiency does not have enough qi exercise in his body. After eating, the absorbed nutrients are not absorbed, the excreted nutrients are not excreted, and the vaporized substances are not gasified. As a result, these vaporized substances are converted into fat and piled up. What is fat? Fat is garbage that has not been vaporized in the body.
Garbage that has not been vaporized on the liver is called fatty liver.
Garbage that is not vaporized in blood vessels is called hyperlipidemia.
The garbage that has not been vaporized on the belly is called a small belly.
Therefore, qi deficiency is the real cause of obesity, and obesity is the most obvious indication to judge a person's qi deficiency.
There are four deficiency of qi.
Fatty qi deficiency, why?
There are four reasons: one is qi deficiency, the other is yang deficiency, the third is phlegm dampness, and the fourth is damp heat.
Qi deficiency, that is to say, the human body is short of qi, and its gasification function is weak, so it is impossible to gasify the fat in the body. The ancients gave this kind of fat a very vivid name, called "Fat Man".
Yang deficiency refers to the weakness of yang, which leads to the weakening of qi function. The ancients called this kind of fat man "fat man".
Phlegm dampness means that the qi in the human body is not empty, but because there is phlegm dampness in the body. These two things together hinder the operation of qi in the body and cause qi deficiency in the body. The ancients called this kind of fat people "paste people", and Shuo Wen Jie Zi said: "Those who coagulate are called fat, and those who let go are called cream", which means that the fat that coagulates together is called fat, the soft fat is called cream, and the fat that pastes people is loose.
Damp-heat refers to the combination of damp-heat in the body, which hinders the movement of qi in the body, thus causing qi deficiency. The ancients called such people "meat people". "Ling Shu Wei Qi Disorder" said: "Those who are fleshy have great capacity." This kind of fat man is round, and at first glance he is covered with meat.
People have four fatnesses.
Roughly as follows-timid, obese and qi-deficient; Fat people who are afraid of cold, yang deficiency; Fat people with swollen eyelids have phlegm and dampness; Irritable and irritable fat people have damp heat.
A timid fat man with qi deficiency
To see whether a fat man is qi-deficient, we must first look at his courage. Generally speaking, timid fat people are qi-deficient.
Qi is the strength of human body. Without it, people will become guilty and timid, don't like talking, don't like sports, don't like taking risks, and are listless and panting all day. When talking, they are always timid.
See if a fat man is qi deficient, pay special attention to his tongue. Fat man with qi deficiency, fat tongue, red tongue and tooth marks on the edge.
There are obvious tooth marks on both sides of the tongue. Tooth-marked tongue is mostly caused by hypertrophy of tongue body and compression of tooth edge. The reason why the tongue is fat is that there is too much water, which makes the tongue bigger. Why is there too much water? This is because of qi deficiency and weak gasification function, and water cannot be metabolized and gasified. Therefore, if a fat man has teeth marks on his tongue, then nine times out of ten, this fat man belongs to qi deficiency type.
Finally, judging whether he is a fat man with qi deficiency depends on his mental state. Generally, fat people with qi deficiency are short of breath, lazy, easily tired, often dizzy and forgetful.
"Qi handsome is blood", qi deficiency, weak power to promote blood circulation, slow blood circulation, people will be short of breath, lazy to talk, easy to fatigue. Qi deficiency can't push the blood to reach the face fully, and such people are always fat in vain. The ancients said: "People who are fat are white, and most of them belong to qi deficiency."
Treatment: Codonopsis pilosula is sweet in nature, tonifying middle energizer, invigorating spleen and lung, and is used for qi deficiency, fatigue and shortness of breath. Eat more millet, pork belly, carrots and mushrooms, because these are all qi-invigorating foods.
Fat people who are afraid of cold, yang deficiency.
There is a kind of fat man who is particularly afraid of the cold and has to wear autumn clothes and trousers on a hot day. Most of these fat people are yang deficiency.
Secondly, it depends on whether a fat man has yang deficiency, but also depends on defecation. Fat people with yang deficiency have loose stools and long urine.
In addition, some fat people with yang deficiency will be impotent.
Treatment: Zhang Zhongjing's famous prescription-Jinkui Shenqi Pill. Jinkui Shenqi Pill, also known as Bawei Shenqi Pill, consists of Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Rhizoma Dioscoreae, Fructus Corni, Cortex Moutan, Rhizoma Alismatis, Poria, Cortex Cinnamomi and Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata. If the latter two herbs are removed, it becomes Liuwei Dihuang Pill, because it has more cinnamon and aconite than Liuwei Dihuang Pill, so people call it Guifu Dihuang Pill. Its function is to warm and tonify kidney-yang and turn qi into water. Everyone must know how humidifiers humidify! Water in a container can't usually get out. If electric heating is used, water vapor will evaporate like fog. These two herbs, Aconitum and Cinnamomum cassia, are equivalent to connecting the humidifier with current, which can heat and evaporate cold kidney water. Fuzi pungent hot, cinnamon pungent warm. As soon as they enter the human body, they can generate heat energy, which will heat the cold kidney water and turn it into kidney gas. In this way, people's whole body will gradually warm up.
Massage the three points of Changqiang, Mingmen and Baihui on the back Du meridian frequently. Du meridian is full of yang, and frequent massage of these points can increase yang.
Fat man with swollen eyelids, phlegm and dampness.
There is a fat man who is full of qi, but because there is phlegm in his body, it hinders the rise and fall of qi, so qi gradually weakens and people gradually gain weight.
How to judge whether there is phlegm dampness in a fat man?
First of all, we should see if his eyes are swollen. The fat man with phlegm in his body has a shiny forehead and two big swollen blisters hanging under his eyes. "Spleen is the source of phlegm", and spleen governs transport and transformation. If phlegm and dampness accumulate in a person's body, and the spleen is out of balance, his temper will not rise and his eyelids will swell.
See if a fat man has phlegm, but also look at his waist and abdomen. Although the fat man with qi deficiency is called "fat man", he belongs to "homogeneous obesity", with a small fat belly and a well-proportioned figure. Although the fat man with yang deficiency is called "fat man", he is fat from top to bottom. There is a kind of fat, their bellies are very big, and the fat is concentrated in the abdomen, which is called "swimming ring". If a fat man wears a swimming ring and his waist and abdomen are fat and drooping, then most of them have phlegm in their bodies.
See if a fat man has phlegm dampness, but also whether he often has chest tightness and phlegm. "The lung is the reservoir of phlegm". If a person has phlegm in his body and his lungs lose their function, he will feel chest tightness and phlegm. Si Mazhao in history is such a person. In the later period of the Three Kingdoms, Si Mazhao monopolized the power and led an increasingly luxurious life. He eats a lot of fish and meat every day, has phlegm in his body and often feels chest tightness. As a result, just as he was preparing to ascend the throne, he suddenly had a stroke and died.
Solution: Eat wax gourd, red beans, lotus leaves and hawthorn, and loquat leaves are also good. These foods can dispel dampness, spread lung, induce diuresis and strengthen spleen. Long-term consumption, the sputum in the body will melt, and the blood will be smooth. At the same time, we should insist on long-term aerobic exercise, preferably walking, every day 1 hour, 5 kilometers.
Three-point adjustment and seven-point support; Three points for doctors and seven points for yourself.
Fat people who are irritable and irritable have damp heat.
There is a kind of fat man, which was called "meat man" by the ancients, and we call it stout obesity, which is the antonym of puffiness. They have no patience and get angry easily. In fact, this kind of fat man is not naturally irritable, but because there is damp heat in his body.
Wet is stagnant water in the body. When stagnant water is combined with phlegm, it becomes phlegm-dampness; When stagnant water combines with heat, it becomes damp and hot.
How to judge whether you are a damp-heat fatty?
First, you can observe your face. If your body is too hot and wet, you will get oil stains on your face. At first glance, your face is like a glossy paper, shiny and oily. Touch it with your hands and feel a layer of oil. In addition, there are often some acne and acne on the face. Many cases of acne are caused by damp and heat stagnation in the body, which can't be discharged, and finally irritates the face. This is also what we usually call acne.
See if a fat man is hot and humid, but also depends on his appetite. People with damp-heat type have a great appetite and can eat well, but being able to eat does not mean that the spleen and stomach function is normal. On the contrary, it is in a pathological state of "strong stomach and weak spleen". Dampness and heat in the body will affect the stomach, which is called "stomach heat blocking dampness" in Chinese medicine. When the stomach is heated, its function will be excited. At this time, people's appetite will greatly increase and they will feel hungry at any time. However, if the stomach is full, it will inevitably increase the burden of spleen transport. Spleen has the function of "transporting water and dampness", and the excessive burden of spleen is easy to cause "water and dampness stagnation". Therefore, Chinese medicine also calls this kind of obese people "obesity with stomach heat blocking dampness".
Distinguish between damp-heat type fat and tongue coating. The hot and humid fat man's tongue is red and greasy with yellow fur. The more calories in the body, the yellower the tongue coating, just like when cooking, the rice is burnt and turned into a brown crispy rice. If you don't turn off the fire, the rice crust will burn black. Therefore, the darker the color of the tongue coating, the more serious the damp heat in your body.
We can also judge whether we have damp heat by observing the urine and urine. Too dry or too wet stool is a sign of damp heat in the body. If the heat in the body is heavier than humidity, the stool will be dry; When wet is heavier than hot, the stool is sticky and the urine is short and red. People in damp heat constitution are afraid of humidity and heat, so it is difficult to adapt to humid environment or high temperature, especially the humid and muggy climate in late summer and early autumn.
See if there is damp heat in the fat man's body, but also look at his eyes, which have damp heat and burn blood collaterals. At this time, people's eyes will have red blood, which is neither painful nor itchy. Western medicine says this is a reaction of the immune system. In fact, this is a manifestation of damp heat in the body.
Generally speaking, the tongue is reddish and the tongue coating is yellow and greasy, which is the image of damp heat. Grease on the face, acne, yellow greasy tongue coating, bad temper, red eyes, dry or wet stool are all manifestations of damp-heat type fat people.
Solution: prescribe some medicines such as gentian, gypsum and Alisma orientalis, eat some foods such as mung beans, wax gourd, bitter gourd, lotus seeds and coix seed, and never eat spicy dry products such as peppers, dog meat, beef and mutton.
Another simple and effective method can be used as daily conditioning, that is, massage the Quchi point of elbow every day: press with thumb or middle finger for 1 ~ 3 minutes each time, and massage 1 ~ 2 times a day. Doing so can play the role of expelling wind and relieving exterior syndrome, clearing away heat and promoting diuresis.
Qi deficiency caused by different reasons has different conditioning methods; Different fat people have different ways of keeping in good health, which is the dialectical treatment of traditional Chinese medicine.
