Can poor kidney function lead to obesity

The "kidney" in traditional Chinese medicine is related to growth, development, fertility, water metabolism and other functions. "Kidney essence" refers to the essence stored in the kidney, which is the essence substance that constitutes and maintains human activities. The essence in the kidney can also be divided into kidney yin and kidney yang. Whether the kidney yin or kidney yang is insufficient, it will cause the imbalance of yin and yang in the body, leading to obesity. "Kidney yin" is the essence substance in the body, which has the functions of nourishing, nourishing, tranquilizing and restricting the heat of the sun. If you stay up late for a long time, sleep is insufficient, and work and rest is reversed day and night, the kidney yin will be excessively consumed, leading to the decline of the function of nourishing and nourishing, dry mouth, dry eyes, and skin Dry, scaling, constipation and other symptoms, kidney yin deficiency makes metabolism function decline.

When there is insufficient Yin fluid, the function of restricting Yang heat decreases, and the balance of Yin and Yang in the body is unbalanced, resulting in relative Yang hyperactivity and a state of virtual excitement. Although one sleeps very little, they are mentally excited and find it difficult to fall asleep at night, leading to irritability, red cheekbones, fever, and other internal heat phenomena. Excessive fire can also deplete qi and damage yin, further leading to a deficiency of qi and insufficient yin fluid, which depletes the liver and kidney qi and slows down the metabolic rate, resulting in the accumulation of pathological products such as "phlegm turbidity" and the formation of "kidney yin deficiency and fire excess type obesity".

If a person has poor kidneys, it is inevitable that their spleen is not good. However, people with poor spleens are more prone to obesity, so those with poor kidneys indirectly lead to obesity. Anyway, if the kidneys are not good, it should be checked and treated.
