What is the reason for having too much fat on the belly?

Many people have fat on their stomachs, whether they are men or women, especially women have more fat on their stomachs after giving birth. Some thinner people in life may look thin, but they have a lot of fat on their stomachs. In fact, there are many reasons for having too much fat on the stomach. Spleen deficiency or disease may cause too much fat on the stomach. The following are the specific reasons for having too much fat on the stomach.

The reason for having a fat belly is related to insufficient heat power in the body. Because the body needs to protect the insufficient heat power, it will instinctively increase fat, just like in the past, there was always a quilt covering the popsicle cart to avoid the exchange of heat inside and outside that would cause the popsicles to melt. From this principle, the weaker a person is inside, the easier it is to get fat, and the fat on their belly is the "quilt" covering the popsicle cart.

From the perspective of Western medicine, belly fat is the most harmful to the body because it is more easily absorbed into the blood through the liver, increasing blood lipids. The appearance of "three highs" is a manifestation of aging. The so-called aging is what Chinese medicine calls insufficient firepower.

For this type of patients, as long as the tongue is not red and the stool is always unformed, it is a typical case of spleen and stomach deficiency and cold. It is recommended to try Fuzi Lizhong Pills. It adds aconite to the Lizhong Pills in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases". The formula consists of aconite (processed), Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala (fried), dried ginger, licorice, etc. "Bencao Zhengyi" describes it as follows: "Its nature is good at moving, so it is an important medicine for pure Yang that circulates through the twelve meridians. It can reach the skin and fur to eliminate superficial cold, and reach the lower abdomen to warm chronic cold, penetrating both the inside and the outside. Any cold in the three burner meridians, and all the internal organs can be cured." Therefore, it treats the problems caused by insufficient Yang and excessive Yin.

This medicine is relatively hot, so you can start with a small amount, especially in late spring and early summer when the weather is dry and it is easy to get inflamed. You can take it once a day at first. If you do not experience symptoms of getting inflamed such as mouth ulcers and sore throat, you can increase the dosage to the regular dosage. Once you find that the stools that have been unformed for a long time are beginning to become strips, and your stomach is less afraid of cold, it is recommended to reduce the dosage or even stop using it.

In addition to medication, exercise is also needed. From a Western medicine perspective, exercise can metabolize excess fat. From a Chinese medicine perspective, exercise can increase firepower and mobilize the body's yang energy. When the yang energy is strong and the firepower is sufficient, the body is no longer cold, and the body no longer needs to make its own "quilt", and the fat on the belly will be reduced.

A thin person with a big belly may be due to spleen deficiency. In addition to being thin and having a big belly, spleen deficiency can also cause dry and chapped lips, bleeding gums, easy hiccups, unformed stools, etc. Because the spleen plays the role of transferring and transporting nutrients and waste in the body, if the spleen is weak, its function cannot be effectively performed. Water, moisture, heat and cold in the body are retained in the body and cannot be promptly and completely eliminated, resulting in abdominal distension and an enlarged belly. At the same time, nutrients cannot be completely converted in time, resulting in emaciation.
