Obesity is a disease, which can be an independent disease, an inducement of other diseases, and a secondary disease of many diseases. It can be a cause or a result, so the diseases of various viscera can have a certain relationship with obesity. For example, spleen and stomach are the sea of water valley, the source of qi and blood biochemistry, spleen deficiency leads to dereliction of duty, and Shui Gu's subtleties are difficult to transport to the lungs, which is unfavorable for lung qi. It can't be claimed that the sedimentation valley is subtle all over the body and can't communicate with the water channel to benefit the bladder, so the water is wet and stays in it, which can cause obesity. Another example is deficiency of kidney-qi, failure of kidney-yang deficiency can't warm cold water, deficiency of spleen and kidney-yang, uneven subtlety, and endogenous water is wet and turbid, which leads to obesity. Another example is that the liver qi is insufficient, the function of dispersing and discharging is unfavorable, the liver can't turn turbid and reduce blood fat, the kidney can't diuresis and dehumidify, and phlegm and turbid water stay, which is easy to cause obesity. Deficiency of heart qi can not promote qi and blood circulation, slow blood flow, and it is difficult for turbid fat to run and absorb smoothly, which is easy to cause obesity. In a word, impairment of five zang-organs and dysfunction of zang-organs will lead to obesity or other related diseases.
The size of the body reflects the difference of physical function. Ordinary people are bloated or thin, and the proportion of various parts of the body is out of balance and uncoordinated, which often means that some diseases are hidden in the body, which will cause great harm to the human body. Therefore, Chinese medicine believes that by observing people's physical strength and body shape, diseases can be diagnosed and the prognosis of diseases can be inferred. A strong body is characterized by strong bones, broad chest, plump muscles, moist skin, strong appetite, abundant vitality and excessive phlegm, and it is easy to suffer from phlegm drinking (phlegm drinking refers to a disease in which water in the body cannot be transported, retained or infiltrated into a certain part of the body, and it is a broad sense of phlegm drinking, in which there are differences and connections between phlegm drinking and drinking: first of all, it is a pathological disease caused by metabolic disorder of body fluids. Generally, thick and turbid is called phlegm, while thin is called drinking. Phlegm not only refers to visible sputum coughed up, but also includes lymph node nuclei, phlegm nuclei and phlegm stasis in viscera, meridians and other tissues, which can be determined by its clinical symptoms. This kind of phlegm is called "invisible phlegm"; Drinking water, that is, water stays in the part of the human body, has different names because of the different parts and symptoms. For example, Synopsis of the Golden Chamber distinguishes between phlegm drinking, hanging drinking, overflowing drinking and supporting drinking. Phlegm drink here refers to one of the four drinks in a narrow sense, that is, diseases such as gastrointestinal drinking evil and stroke. Because of its strong disease resistance, the disease is easy to treat and has a good prognosis. The weak are mostly manifested as skinny bones, narrow chest, emaciation of muscles, shriveled skin, listlessness, lack of food and gas, qi deficiency of viscera, yin deficiency and blood deficiency, internal fire, tuberculosis and other diseases, with weak disease resistance and poor prognosis.
Medical experts pointed out that obesity has become an epidemic in modern life, one of the main risk factors affecting human health in 2 1 century, and obesity has also become the "second killer" leading to death after smoking. The harm of obesity and the diseases caused by it have long been recorded in Neijing. For example, Su Wen's "On Strange Diseases" mentioned that obesity is due to the strong taste of cream leading to "digestion" (that is, diabetes, diabetes insipidus and mental polydipsia, etc. In modern medicine); "Su Wen. The general theory of virtual loss also explains that "eliminating prickly heat" is also the reason of "servant strike" (also known as: servant strike, which means sudden collapse, that is, stroke. Most of them are due to the lack of healthy qi, evil wind entering the middle, "partial dryness" (hemiplegia) and "paralysis" (name of disease syndrome. Flaccidity is the root cause of diseases such as syncope of qi and blood and weakness of feet.
