個個都水腫，唔通個個都水腫咩?
#老娘是水腫不是胖
#完美雙眼皮不見了
#水腫腫的bluemonday
早上起來，照鏡一看發現自己眼腫面又腫，眼仔不再碌碌。再按按雙腿，按下去的位置要久久才可回復原狀，就肯定是水腫了。水腫有很多原因，之前一晚吃得過鹹又或是臨睡前水喝得過多都有可能引致，但假如你經常都出現這種問題，也發現自己吃得不多但體態仍然圓潤，全身肌肉鬆泡泡，怎減也減不到肥，就因為你屬痰濕體質，這種胖是「虛胖」。試想像，我們的脾系統負責將體內多餘水份帶出體外，當運作失調時水分無法好好運行，自然積存在體內。當吃了口味重的食物及生冷食物後，加重脾胃負荷，水腫問題就更嚴重，就好像有一條濕毛巾長期搭在身上，除了身形如包著毛巾般腫脹，也會令你十分疲累。想袪水腫？就要先養好你的脾胃，取去這塊又厚又濕的毛巾，才有可能和虛胖說再見！
如何知道自己是痰濕體質？假如你也中了以下3點或以上，就要好好健脾化濕才可有效減走虛胖！
• 食慾變差，口淡
• 老是感覺胸悶、胃脹，飯後特別嚴重
• 眼睛、臉或四肢浮腫
• 身體困重，提不起勁
• 大便質偏軟或稀爛，臭味不明顯
• 女性帶下量偏多，色白或透明，無味
• 痰多、口黏
Feeling swollen with water first thing in the morning?
You wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and see a swollen face and eyes. Then you press on your legs and it takes a while for the pressed spot to go back to normal, that’s when you know it must be edema. A lot of things can cause edema- drinking too much water before you sleep or eating overly salty food during your dinner are examples. But if you find yourself with this problem frequently, and you notice that you have a hard time losing weight where you don’t eat a lot and still have a rounded body with loose muscles, then you may have phlegm and dampness body constitution. This type of fat is just puffiness. Consider that our spleen is supposed to dispel all the extra water in our bodyes, but when the spleen is not functioning accordingly, the water naturally retains in the body. When you eat strong flavored or cold/raw foods, you are adding to the spleen’s workload and edema will intensify too. It’s as if you have a wet towel on your body, it adds to your body weight and causes fatigue. Want to relieve edema? Start by nourishing the spleen and stomach, remove that thick and damp towel, and say good bye to puffiness!
How do you know if you have phlegm and dampness constitution? If are experiencing more than 3 of the below list of symptoms, then start strengthening your spleen to remove dampness to reduce the puffiness!
– Decrease in appetite, tastelessness in mouth
– Frequent tightness in chest, abdominal bloatedness especially after meal
– Swollen eyes, face or limbs
– Heaviness in the body and general lack of energy
– Stool texture is soft or runny, not particularly smelly
