In general, people with strong stomachs and weak spleens are prone to gaining weight, but not everyone is.
In Chinese medicine, the stomach has the role of storing and puttingrefying water and grains (initially digesting food and forming surimi), and the spleen has the role of transporting and transforming water and grains and water fluids.
For those with strong stomach and weak spleen, on the one hand, the stomach’s organizing function is too hyperactive, the appetite is very good, and the amount of food eaten is larger, on the other hand, the spleen function is weaker, and it is unable to transport the essence and water fluid in food to all tissues of the body, and a large amount of water fluid stays in the body for a long time, which will easily cause fat.
However, due to the severity of each patient’s condition, physical condition and other differences, not all people with strong stomach and weak spleen are prone to gain weight, and there are also individual patients who can eat and drink, but their bodies are very thin.
In order to avoid the occurrence of these phenomena, patients need to actively cooperate with TCM physicians for treatment.
