Many people try to lose weight based on what they hear is effective, only to find that the good results for others often don't work for them. Besides not grasping the tricks, another reason is that they've misunderstood the problem. Edema-type obesity, also known as "water retention obesity," is caused by poor water metabolism in the body. Losing weight in this case isn't that difficult.
A damp constitution makes you swollen
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that edema-type obesity is mostly due to a damp constitution. Phlegm and dampness refer to all the stagnation in the body. This is because the body's metabolism of water is poor, making certain organs like a swamp, and the body easily accumulates waste water, making the body appear bloated. A preference for cold foods, sweets, and greasy foods, as well as a dislike of exercise, can easily lead to this type of body constitution.
People with this type of constitution typically have fair skin with a yellowish tinge. They often feel tired all day, as if they can never get enough sleep. They are also prone to drowsiness and feeling lightheaded. In addition, their menstrual blood is lighter in color but thicker, and may even contain white tissue. During menstruation, they are also prone to dizziness, palpitations, chest tightness, and nausea. Excessive vaginal discharge is also a common characteristic of this constitution.
Girls of this type are usually fair-skinned and chubby because they have too much dampness in their bodies. Removing the phlegm and dampness from their bodies can eliminate the swelling.
