Have you ever heard of "fat people are wet, thin people are hot". Can a person's posture really reflect a person's physique?
The fat people referred to in Chinese medicine are generally obese people or people who are prone to obesity. Usually, the metabolism of jin fluid in their body is not smooth enough, and it is easy to produce phlegm wetness, overflowing skin or stagnation in the body, resulting in obesity. Sputum wet stop in the human body is no different from waste, will further affect the function of the organ meridians, so obesity will cause various diseases.
Chinese medicine believes that the spleen in the human body is the main transport of water and moisture, is the hub of the metabolism of jin, once the spleen is not transported, it will produce phlegm wet, therefore, there is a saying that "the spleen is the source of phlegm". At the same time, spleen deficiency will also make people's blood insufficient, so fat people are often lazy and weak, and their skin is white but lacks luster.
The meaning of thin people with more fire refers to those thin people who are not fat how to eat, often yang qi is more abundant, and it is easy to produce internal heat and fire. Such people usually belong to the liver and kidney yin deficiency water is small, so it will be relatively excessive yang, internal heat and cause fire. People with little yin deficiency and water usually appear to lack moisture, the body is not full and thin, and the muscles and joints are not soft. Internal heat upwards, false fire inflammation will often appear sore throat, yellow urine, insomnia and irritability and other symptoms.
For fat people, the most important thing is to strengthen the spleen and dehumidify. Excessive taste, overeating, eating too fast, often eat desserts, raw and cold food, drinking drinks are easy to hurt the spleen and wet, should be avoided as much as possible. In terms of health care methods, more attention should be paid to adjusting one's life in peacetime, changing some bad habits, and strengthening exercise. Phlegm wet constitution should not live in a humid environment, in the rainy season to pay attention to avoid the invasion of wet evil. People with this kind of constitution should also regularly check blood sugar, blood lipids, and blood pressure; sleepers should gradually reduce sleep time, carry out more outdoor activities, and enjoy sunbathing; bathing should take a hot bath, the degree of skin of the whole body is slightly red, and the whole body sweats out; the dress is as loose as possible, and the fabric is mainly cotton, linen, silk and other breathable and wet natural fibers, which is conducive to the evaporation of sweat and the removal of moisture in the body.
"Thin people are more fire", more is often a virtual fire. Thin people are more common kidney yin deficiency but full of spirit, easy to have yin deficiency and fire phenomenon, so thin people are more agile and active, sometimes easy to be excited and impulsive, often hot hands and feet, dry oropharynx, fear of heat and cold, prone to insomnia, mouth ulcers and so on. In addition, people with thin bodies are often more anxious, easy to get angry, and easily lead to liver fire, making the body's yin and yang unbalanced and "on fire". Thin people should replenish the qi and nourish the yin and nourish the kidneys. Life tension, excessive pressure, insomnia, unconventional intercourse, overwork and fatigue and injury of bones, bones, joints, waist and back, are not conducive to the maintenance of liver and kidneys, the maintenance of yin qi. "Static can produce water", quiet down, self-cultivation, to ensure adequate sleep, internal heat on the fire will gradually subside. In terms of diet, it is advisable to be light, eat less fatty and thick, dry and fierce products, especially to avoid peppers, onions, garlic, etc., and should eat more sweet and raw products, such as milk, honey, eggs, sea cucumbers, white fungus, etc. The yin deficiency often produces internal heat, and the thin people are more likely to see irritability, dry mouth and sore throat, hypersexual desire and other endogenous phenomena of hypothermia, so while nourishing, we must also pay attention to the fire.
