What's wrong with the body being bloated

Puffiness is a problem that many people have. Generally speaking, puffiness is caused by yang deficiency, and the most obvious symptom of yang deficiency is spleen and stomach disorders. Therefore, if you want to improve your yang deficiency constitution and fundamentally alleviate the problem of puffiness, you must first strengthen the spleen through lifestyle or diet adjustments. Below, we will introduce the following causes of puffiness and treatment methods in detail.

1. Puffiness is mostly caused by yang deficiency and spleen and stomach disorders

Clinically, obesity is often manifested as yang deficiency, which is closely related to the spleen and stomach. Yang deficiency does not necessarily lead to obesity, but most obese people suffer from yang deficiency. Yang deficiency can lead to an important problem - spleen and stomach disorders, weakening and decline of body and organ functions, and obesity itself is just one of the problems caused by Yang deficiency.

There are four types of deficiency in the human body: yin deficiency, blood deficiency, yang deficiency, and qi deficiency. Most fat people are of the third type - yang deficiency.

Qi deficiency caused by Yang deficiency can cause various physical problems: cold limbs and body, fear of cold and heat, loose stools (soft and unformed stools), yellow, loose, dull, oily, spotted, inelastic skin, slowed metabolism and consumption, declined internal organs' functions, insomnia and nightmares, strong appetite, sweating, easy fatigue, laziness, edema, and sinking of Qi in the middle (prolapse of internal organs), etc.

2. Strengthening the spleen and stomach to replenish yang deficiency can solve obesity

Under normal circumstances, food enters the stomach and undergoes initial digestion, and then the refined nutrients are taken away by the spleen and transported to the lungs. The lungs are connected to all the meridians and nourish the internal organs through blood. If there is a problem with the spleen, the spleen will lose its healthy function and nutrients will accumulate in the body, causing obesity.

To solve the problem of obesity, we must first strengthen the spleen and replenish qi and change the yang deficiency. Common Chinese medicinal materials include Pueraria root, red yeast rice, and citrus aurantium (Huiqing orange).

3. Lifestyle conditioning recipes to strengthen the spleen and replenish deficiency

In our daily diet, we should also eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, such as yam, coix seed, lotus root, jujube and various bean foods. Of course, insisting on physical exercise is also a good method.

In addition to living a regular life, eating and sleeping on time, and eating less raw and cold food, you should also eat more spleen-strengthening foods, such as lotus seeds, coix seeds, yam, etc., drink more water, and eat more fruits with high water content, such as pears, apples, and watermelons. In addition, drinking a bowl of clear soup before meals can dilute the salt and retain water in the body.
