Winter Health Preservation and Daily Weight Loss Guide for Obese Individuals with Phlegm-Dampness and Blood Stasis (Introduction)

What should obese people with phlegm and dampness as their cause pay attention to during the cold season?

Both wind and cold can cause the body's blood vessels to constrict and tighten, leading to more sluggish and obstructed blood flow.

Obese individuals with phlegm-dampness and blood stasis are intolerant to wind and cold. In winter, the cold climate causes stagnation and contraction of cold energy, making them more susceptible to these pathogens.

This can easily lead to poor circulation of Qi and blood in the body, causing many old illnesses to relapse or worsen. This is especially true for those with severe conditions.

Seriously life-threatening diseases, such as stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, and myocardial infarction, have not only seen a significant increase in incidence.

The incidence rate is high, and the mortality rate is also rising sharply. Therefore, winter health maintenance is extremely important for obese individuals with blood stasis.

For obese individuals with phlegm-dampness and blood stasis, the key to health preservation is to maintain warmth rather than cold. In winter, their sleep schedule should include "early to bed."

"Get up late" means that the best time to get up is after sunrise, and you should not get up early to exercise outdoors.

Going to bed early helps preserve the body's Yang energy and maintain warmth, while waking up late nourishes the body's Yin energy.

Waking up at sunrise allows you to escape the cold and seek warmth. Spend more time outdoors when the sun is shining.

Activities are meant to promote the flow of Yang energy and facilitate the smooth movement of Qi within the body.

If you're sensitive to both wind and cold, you should be even more careful at this time.

In addition, obese individuals with phlegm-dampness and blood stasis should pay attention to three things: ① Keep the head warm, avoiding exposure to cold.

Stimulation causes blood vessels to constrict and head muscles to tense, easily leading to headaches and colds. ② Keeping the back warm helps prevent colds.

Stimulation can affect local muscles or internal organs through acupoints on the back, harming health. Besides causing lower back pain...

Besides back pain, a cold back can also affect the muscles and joints of the upper and lower limbs, as well as internal organs, through the cervical and lumbar spine.

It can trigger various discomforts. ③ Keep your feet warm; if your feet get cold, it can reflexively cause inflammation of the upper respiratory tract mucosa.

The capillaries constrict, cilia beat slowly, and resistance decreases. Therefore, obese individuals with phlegm-dampness and blood stasis should...

Pay special attention to keeping warm and protecting yourself from the cold.

Do all overweight people need to lose weight?

In addition to weight and body type, other methods for determining obesity include...

Beyond indices, greater emphasis is now placed on the distribution of fat. Western medicine classifies fat according to its distribution in different parts of the body.

Burley Gaucher classifies obesity into central obesity and peripheral obesity. Central obesity is also known as abdominal obesity.

Apple-shaped obesity is characterized by fat accumulation primarily in the subcutaneous tissue of the abdomen and within the abdominal cavity, while the limbs are relatively less affected.

Thinner. Peripheral obesity, also known as hip-shaped obesity or pear-shaped obesity, is characterized by fat deposition primarily in the hips.

Central obesity affects the face and legs. Compared to peripheral obesity, central obesity carries a higher risk of complications.

The obese person is much larger.

Therefore, although basketball players may be overweight, their body fat is evenly distributed, and their metabolism...

If you have normal metabolism, you don't necessarily need to lose weight. Some foreign scholars have found that obese people have a higher risk of developing diabetes.

The risk is 3.7 times higher for women with central obesity than for the average person, and the chance of developing diabetes is even higher for women with central obesity than for women with central obesity.

Peripheral obesity is 10.3 times more likely to cause harm than non-obese individuals! Of course, compared to non-obese individuals, peripheral obesity still poses a relatively serious risk.

Well, it's only slightly smaller than central obesity.

Recent research has found that some people, despite being overweight, do not exhibit symptoms of glucose or lipid metabolism disorders.

While some people are not obese, others exhibit metabolic syndrome, leading some scholars to propose the concept of obesity.

Subtype. Rudmann first defined a group of people with normal weight but metabolic disorders, namely, those with weight imbalance.

The amount of insulin is not sufficient to diagnose obesity, but the patient exhibits hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance, similar to obese individuals.

Obesity due to stagnation.

Another manifestation is excessive fat accumulation in the body, but still exhibiting normal metabolic characteristics.

Normal metabolism is characterized by high insulin sensitivity, normal blood lipids, and the absence of hypertension.

Obesity. The two groups above represent two specific subtypes of obesity. Studies have found that these two subtypes are prevalent in the general population.

A significant proportion of people over 20 years old have normal body weight. According to the US Health and Nutrition Survey, this accounts for a certain percentage.

The prevalence of metabolic obesity is 8.1%, while that of normal metabolic obesity is approximately 9.7%. Therefore, it is prone to occur...

Individuals with metabolic disorders who are not obese are easily missed due to their weight characteristics, making them a group that requires more attention in medicine.

Those who should be concerned should also pay attention to reducing their intake of fats in their diet and strengthening their physical exercise. And a part
