Is a big belly caused by dampness?

For women, if they have a relatively large belly, excluding the possibility of pregnancy, this may be related to heavy dampness. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the larger the belly, the more serious the dampness. If there is phlegm and dampness, the body tends to be fatter, which is a physique prone to obesity. At this time, you should pay attention to diet adjustment, eat more foods that have the effect of removing dampness, and also pay attention to moderate fitness.

Is a big belly caused by dampness?

The bigger the belly, the more serious the dampness

Traditional Chinese medicine says: Phlegm and dampness make the body fat. If the body is damp, you will gain weight no matter what you eat. You will not lose weight even if you take any diet pills. You will also easily rebound. The typical manifestation of a phlegm and dampness constitution is a big belly that cannot be reduced!

Why can't I lose weight?

Because it is caused by the accumulation of moisture in the body, modern people are exercising less and less, and they eat too much oily, fat, sugary, and high-calorie food. These excess nutrients become moisture and accumulate in the body, which will cause edema in the lower abdomen. The moisture cannot be discharged smoothly, and the belly becomes bigger and bigger!

Strictly speaking, this situation is not obesity, because only the lower abdomen appears larger.

These 4 signs also indicate that there is moisture in the body:

1. Skin deterioration

If your skin suddenly gets worse recently, excluding the result of staying up late continuously, and you develop acne on your face, local itching, rashes, yellowing of the skin, etc., it means that there is a lot of moisture in your body and it needs to be addressed in time.

2. Poor mental state

When I got up in the morning, I felt very tired and sleepy, and my calves were sore and weak. Also, when you brush your teeth in the morning, you feel nauseous and find that your tongue is coated with a thick, white coating with the outline of teeth marks. These are all symptoms of heavy dampness.

3. Difficulty in defecation

If dampness and toxins exist in the body for a long time, the stomach and intestines will definitely be affected. I have no appetite when eating and even feel a little nauseous. When defecating, the stool is not formed and is very sticky. It feels like it will never be completely discharged. When flushing, it is difficult to flush clean. There are also signs of vaginal itching and increased vaginal discharge, which are all caused by dampness.

4. Joint pain

When the dampness becomes very serious, joint pain will occur. Especially for the elderly, their joints will suffer from unbearable pain at the slightest disturbance in the weather. This is because dampness and toxins have eroded the joints, causing blood and qi to stagnate, resulting in soreness and pain in the joints of the limbs.
