Some people can eat a lot without gaining weight. Why is that? We often hear people around us say, "Why do I gain weight even when I drink water?" This is actually due to having a "tendency to gain weight easily". People who have tried various fasting or dieting methods to lose weight may experience temporary weight loss, but it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain the weight loss.
What is a tendency to gain weight easily?
Hormones play a role in influencing body weight, with metabolism and energy storage being two major systems. Adrenaline and thyroid hormones are the hormones that control metabolism and are considered "thin" hormones. The only hormone that causes weight gain is insulin. However, when the level of "thin" hormones in the body is higher than that of "fat" hormones, the person is considered to have a tendency to be thin; conversely, when the level of energy storage hormones exceeds that of metabolism, the person tends to have a tendency to gain weight easily. Many people believe that body constitution is predetermined and cannot be changed, but the main reason for changes in body constitution is actually dietary habits. As long as one has the correct dietary methods, it is possible to change from a tendency to gain weight easily to a tendency to be thin.
For people with a tendency to have a weak spleen and dampness, their appetite is not good, but their weight keeps increasing and they may have symptoms such as a thick tongue coating and loose stools. This may be caused by a weak spleen and dampness. Poor spleen function and poor digestion lead to an inability to eliminate phlegm and dampness, resulting in a continuous increase in body weight. Experts suggest that the key to losing weight lies in invigorating the spleen and promoting qi circulation. By improving the body's ability to eliminate dampness, the goal of reducing weight can be achieved.
