He's always around during the flu season, and he recovers from colds more slowly than others. He's a typical case of Qi deficiency.

obesity.

How does Qi deficiency lead to obesity?

We know that Qi is the driving force of the human body, propelling the transformation of energy and metabolism within the body. For example...

If the body's Qi is sufficient, after meals, the necessary nutrients will be absorbed and the necessary excretions will be eliminated.

Once the qi that should be transformed has been transformed, his body will be neither too fat nor too thin. A person with qi deficiency will have a body that is neither too fat nor too thin.

Insufficient internal energy movement means that nutrients that should be absorbed after meals are not absorbed, and waste that should be excreted is not eliminated.

There is excretion. As a result, these undigested substances are converted into fat and stored.

Therefore, qi deficiency is one of the causes of obesity, and obesity can also be used as an indicator to determine whether a person has qi deficiency.

Our research indicates that most obese people with large bellies have weakened digestive and metabolic functions.

This leads to the "accumulation" of nutrients. When we understand obesity, there's a theory called "the failure of body fluids to return."

"Zheng Hua" means that the nutrients you get from your diet can be transformed into body fluids when they are properly converted.

When the spleen's digestive function is weak, the food we eat cannot be properly digested, absorbed, or transformed.

When bodily fluids, which can be used by the body, cannot be properly transformed, they become what traditional Chinese medicine doctors refer to as...

The "dampness" mentioned refers to the accumulation of water and dampness in the body, which leads to obesity.
