What are the symptoms of spleen deficiency and obesity

People with weak spleen and stomach are prone to some difficult-to-treat diseases, which has a huge impact on people. Especially for some young children, if parents do not pay attention to care, spleen deficiency problems will cause the children to be too obese from an early age. Being obese will naturally affect your daily exercise and diet. So, what are the symptoms of spleen deficiency and obesity?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spleen deficiency is the "culprit" of obesity. Surveys have found that the main physical condition of most obese people is spleen deficiency. This article introduces the relationship between spleen deficiency and obesity. The principle of spleen deficiency causing obesity is as follows:

In traditional Chinese medicine theory, the spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, and "transport" means transporting water. When the spleen is not capable enough, that is, when the body is in a state of "spleen deficiency" as described in traditional Chinese medicine, the body's ability to transport waste water is insufficient. When the spleen is not capable enough, the body fluids in the meridians of the human body will not flow easily, and the pericardium will easily accumulate fluid, causing the heart to be incapable of functioning. The heart is the pump of the human body's blood. When the pump's lift is insufficient, the vitality of the entire body will be reduced, and natural waste will not be able to be discharged.

The main cause of spleen deficiency is that the body's maintenance system is overworked. This phenomenon only occurs when the human body is injured or invaded by bacteria. The part of the human body most susceptible to bacterial infection is, of course, the dirtiest stomach and intestines. Since spleen deficiency is mostly formed in childhood, our experience has also found that the root causes of many diseases are directly and closely related to the living habits of childhood.

When a baby is just born, its body is usually very clean, without too many bacteria in the body, and its defense system is very sensitive. When foreign bacteria invade, it will respond immediately and cause symptoms such as diarrhea or gastroenteritis. People's traditional concept always believes that this is due to the child's weak resistance. In fact, it is the opposite. The child's reaction at this time is a truly healthy reaction.

This infection mostly comes from the saliva of adults. There are many types of bacteria in adult saliva, which are a huge threat to young children. One or two gastrointestinal infections will not cause big problems, but continuous infection will quickly consume the blood and energy of the child, causing the child to lose resistance to bacteria. The spleen's ability will gradually decline, resulting in a spleen deficiency constitution.

From the outside, there are no longer any symptoms of gastroenteritis or diarrhea because there is no longer any resistance. The traditional concept is that children at this age have enhanced resistance and are healthier. In fact, their blood qi is lower and their bodies are unable to resist.

At this time, young children will gradually gain weight and drool easily. These "phenomena" are actually true symptoms of spleen deficiency. According to TCM theory, when the spleen is weak, the symptom of "the spleen cannot restrain the muscles" will appear. The muscles of the lips are weak, and young children are not like adults who can consciously control them, so they are prone to drooling.

If you find that your child is always constipated or has loose stools, it means that the child may have a spleen deficiency problem. At this time, children will experience loss of appetite and become picky eaters. If a child is too obese since childhood, parents should not think that it is caused by overnutrition, but should check whether it is caused by spleen deficiency.
