Your physique determines the way you lose weight.

Traditional Chinese medicine divides people's constitutions into eight types: yin deficiency constitution, yang deficiency constitution, qi deficiency constitution, blood deficiency constitution, yang excess constitution, blood stasis constitution, phlegm-dampness constitution and qi stagnation constitution.

Phlegm-dampness is not only what we generally call "phlegm", but also refers to a series of manifestations of abnormal metabolism of water and dampness in the body, including weight, greasy face and sticky mouth. The most representative manifestation of phlegm-dampness is obesity. Stay in the liver will form fatty liver, stay in the skin will form obesity, stay in the abdomen will form general abdominal and central obesity. Eating more and exercising less is the main reason for phlegm-dampness constitution. In modern society, under better living conditions, people often overeat fatty foods and lack exercise. These foods can't be digested and absorbed normally when they enter the body, which often constitutes phlegm and dampness.

Weight loss method: change eating habits+appropriate exercise.

The key to losing weight diet:

If you are obese with phlegm-dampness constitution, remember that the first thing you want to lose weight is to strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis, and eliminate phlegm and turbidity.

Be sure to exercise:

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

Health preserving method

Environmental adjustment: not suitable for living in a humid environment; Pay attention to the invasion of dampness in rainy season.

Drug health care: phlegm-dampness is closely related to lung, spleen and kidney, so the key point is to regulate lung, spleen and kidney. If lung drops, body fluid drops, and body fluid accumulates and produces phlegm, Erchen Decoction should be used when lung drops and phlegm disappears. If the spleen is unhealthy and the dampness accumulates into phlegm, you should strengthen the spleen and resolve phlegm, and choose Liujuzi Decoction or Xiangsha Liuzhengren Decoction. If kidney deficiency can't induce diuresis, and the water is turbid and turbid, when warming yang and resolving phlegm, choose Jinkui Shenqi Pill.
