Stress leads to obesity? Stagnation of liver qi is the key to causing trouble.
As for why stress easily leads to obesity, Dr. Chen Chaozong pointed out that from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this type of obese people can also be called "liver and stomach stagnation" obesity. The reason for this is mainly related to the stagnation of liver qi caused by long-term stress.

Moreover, it is worth noting that Chinese medicine believes that "stomach heat will eliminate the valley", that is, the greater the stomach fire, the easier it is to get hungry. However, if you can't control your appetite and overeat, it will easily lead to "liver and stomach stagnation" obesity, which will make fat easily accumulate at the waist and form an apple-shaped figure.
