How to lose weight quickly due to obesity caused by heavy dampness

Obesity caused by heavy dampness needs to be improved through a combination of strengthening the spleen and dispelling dampness with scientific weight loss. The main methods include adjusting dietary structure, strengthening exercise, traditional Chinese medicine regulation, medication assistance, and optimizing lifestyle habits.

1. Adjust dietary structure

Reduce the intake of high sugar and high-fat foods, and increase ingredients such as Job's tears, adzuki beans, and yam that can invigorate the spleen and promote diuresis. Avoid raw and cold foods, such as ice drinks, watermelons, and other foods that increase moisture. Moderate consumption of substitute tea drinks such as Poria cocos and Chenpi tea, lotus leaf tea, etc. can help dispel dampness. Three meals a day are scheduled and quantified to avoid overeating.

2. Strengthen Exercise

Choose aerobic exercises such as brisk walking, swimming, and eight dan brocade, and stick to them 4-5 times a week for more than 30 minutes each time to promote sweating and diuresis. After exercise, pay attention to keeping warm and avoid getting cold. It can be combined with acupoints on the spleen meridian (such as Sanyinjiao and Yinlingquan) to enhance the effect of dispelling dampness. Avoid prolonged sitting and get up and move for 5 minutes every hour.

3. TCM recuperation

Under the guidance of doctors, traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations such as Shenling Baizhu Powder and Pingwei Powder are used to invigorate the spleen and remove dampness. Moxibustion at acupoints such as Zusanli and Zhongwan can improve the function of spleen and stomach circulation. Cupping therapy can help eliminate dampness and turbidity from the body when applied to the back bladder meridian. It is necessary to have a professional traditional Chinese medicine practitioner diagnose and treat according to the syndrome, and avoid self abuse of dampness dispelling formulas.

4. Medication assisted

Wet weight accompanied by constipation can be treated with short-term use of Ma Ren soft capsules to moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements according to medical advice; For those with obvious edema, Wuling capsules can be used to promote diuresis and moistening. It is strictly prohibited to take laxatives or diuretics by oneself. If metabolic abnormalities are present, medication such as metformin hydrochloride tablets should be used under the guidance of an endocrinologist to control underlying diseases.

5. Optimizing lifestyle habits

Ensure that you go to bed before 23:00 every night to avoid staying up late and worsening spleen deficiency. Maintain a dry and ventilated living environment, and use a dehumidifier during the rainy season. Wear breathable cotton clothing and wipe dry promptly after sweating. Maintain a relaxed mood and avoid worrying and damaging the spleen. Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption to reduce the endogenous dampness and heat. People with heavy dampness and obesity should gradually lose weight and not pursue rapid weight loss. Excessive dieting or vigorous exercise in the short term may damage the spleen and stomach yang qi, and instead exacerbate dampness and turbidity retention. It is recommended to lose no more than 1 kilogram per week and cooperate with daily morning weighing to monitor changes. If you experience discomfort such as fatigue and dizziness, you should seek medical attention promptly to investigate pathological obesity factors such as hypothyroidism and polycystic ovary syndrome. Maintaining a balanced diet and exercise over the long term is the key to maintaining a healthy weight.
