Phlegm-dampness constitution is the biggest hotbed and soil for brewing various lifestyle diseases. Please follow me to understand what phlegm-dampness constitution is and how people with phlegm-dampness constitution should keep in good health. What is phlegm-dampness constitution? Phlegm dampness, a disease name, refers to a symptom of human constitution. Also known as slow cooling, it is mostly caused by improper diet or disease. "Phlegm" here refers not only to phlegm in the general concept, but to abnormal accumulation of body fluid, which is a pathological product. "Wet" is divided into internal wet and external wet. External humidity refers to humid air and environment, such as getting caught in the rain and living in a humid place. External dampness can invade the human body and cause diseases. Internal dampness refers to improper operation of digestive system, which leads to stagnation of body fluid due to uncontrolled flow of water in the body, or stagnation of body fluid due to excessive water in diet, or stagnation of body fluid due to drinking, cheese and cold drinks. Most people with this constitution are accompanied by spleen and stomach dysfunction and endocrine disorders. Causes of phlegm-dampness constitution The occurrence of phlegm-dampness constitution is mostly caused by various reasons, such as dysfunction of viscera gasification, dysfunction of qi, blood and body fluid, stagnation of water and dampness, accumulation of dampness in phlegm, and accumulation of phlegm-dampness in viscera, which further affects the function of viscera. The reasons are as follows: 1. Cold and dampness invade the humid climate, or wading in the rain, or staying in the wetland for a long time. Dampness invades the human body, and the spleen and stomach are trapped, and the water and dampness are lost, and the dampness accumulates into phlegm and accumulates in the lungs. 2. Unhealthy diet often leads to overeating, overeating fat meat and alcohol, damaging the spleen and stomach, failing to disperse subtle grains, transporting water and dampness, producing endogenous dampness, brewing into phlegm and accumulating in the body. 3. Congenital endowment of stomach heat, overeating fat and sweet, poor spleen transport, dampness and phlegm. 4. Long-term illness with spleen and stomach weakness, decreased transport function or kidney-yang deficiency, and qi can't be converted into water. 5. Lack of exercise.
