It’s not your fault that you’re greedy! Your gluttony may be caused by bad intestinal bacteria "dirty fat bacteria"

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if you consume more food than necessary, the efficiency of your gastrointestinal function will deteriorate, and you will develop the so-called "phlegm-damp constitution."

When old waste such as food residues accumulates in the stomach and intestines like mud, it will lead to phlegm-damp constitution. It is very difficult for people with accumulated phlegm and dampness in their stomach and intestines to lose weight. No matter if they drink water or breathe in air, they will gain weight... It can be said that this is a very miserable state. Most people who cannot lose weight despite their best efforts have this phlegm-dampness constitution.

That’s not all. The phlegm and dampness mentioned earlier is something like mud, or to put it bluntly, it is something very dirty. This kind of dirt will produce toxins in the stomach and intestines, which will lead to bad breath, acne, rough skin, body odor and other phenomena. It can be seen that this dirt will spread from the stomach and intestines to the whole body. This unhealthy state will make people gain weight due to dirtiness, so it is not an exaggeration to call it "dirty fat".

In fact, I myself have suffered from being “dirty fat” in the past. I was overweight by over 60 kilograms when I was in elementary school, and even approached 90 kilograms when I was in the first year of high school. At that time, I hated sports, hated studying, and had no motivation to do anything else.

My downfall at that time was caused by being "dirty and fat". He eats twice as much as others, and has to add rice to his daily nutritious lunch. After school, he eats snacks and plays games at the same time. I eat instant noodles before dinner and ice cream as a snack after dinner. There is always cola in the refrigerator.

I remember very clearly that my skin was very dirty, the pores on my hands and feet were clogged with fat, and some of them even had small black spots. In the summer, I sweated profusely and my crotch was often red and swollen... In addition, I often felt dizzy at that time. He has a huge body and a big belly, but he has little physical strength and feels tired quickly.

Looking back, could it be that I was like this because of insufficient blood flow? Maybe a lot of phlegm and dampness had accumulated... After that, on a whim, I tried using Chinese herbal tea combined with dietary restrictions to lose weight. I successfully lost 20 kilograms and said goodbye to my dirty skin and obese body.

More than twenty years have passed since then, and now I am 180 cm tall and weigh 74 kg. Even if you gain weight occasionally, you can lose weight immediately, so you can maintain your ideal body shape. You can keep your body and mind happy at all times, and more importantly, without any mental fatigue or discomfort. At the time, I was just doing these things to lose weight, but it turned out to have such a huge change in my physique.

Even if you have phlegm-dampness constitution, don’t worry too much

I had this physical condition when I was a child, but it gradually improved. Everyone can change their physique, just like me. In fact, phlegm and dampness can cause more serious problems.

That is, phlegm and dampness will pollute the stomach and intestines, which are the source of qi and blood. When the source of a river is polluted, all downstream rivers will also be polluted. Similarly, when the stomach and intestines are polluted, the blood flow throughout the body will also be polluted, and the quality of the blood flow will significantly deteriorate.

In traditional Chinese medicine, if there is phlegm and dampness, the first thing to do is to remove it. Just like the saying goes, "All diseases are caused by phlegm and dampness," phlegm and dampness can pollute the blood, causing a variety of physical discomforts and leading to various diseases. The stomach and intestines are polluted, a lot of phlegm and dampness accumulate, and the polluted blood is transported to the whole body...eventually various diseases will occur.

In fact, the latest modern medicine has also discovered a mechanism that corresponds to the phlegm and dampness here, which is the intestinal bacteria, especially the harmful intestinal bacteria, which have been rapidly studied in recent years.

You can't lose weight by reducing your food intake.

The calculated calories also differed from expectations.

I feel like I'll gain weight even if I drink water.

Exercise doesn't help either.

These are all very serious problems. I'm trying really hard to lose weight, but I don't see any results. Only those who have ever gone through the challenge of losing weight can understand the pain. This doesn't mean that your efforts are not enough, but that your efforts are in vain due to the influence of something. It is the harmful intestinal bacteria that make your efforts come to naught.

There are many types of harmful intestinal bacteria, and here we will call them "dirty fat bacteria". Under the influence of these dirty fat bacteria, two terrible things will happen to the body.

First, increase the amount of heat absorbed.

This newly discovered fact even shakes up the way calorie calculation is used in nutrition science until now. Even if you eat the same food, the amount of calories your body can absorb will be different if the types of intestinal bacteria are different.

To give a simple and extreme example, when someone eats a cake labeled 400 calories, the dirty fat bacteria in his body may cause him to absorb 450 calories or even 500 calories. Eat less, have a smaller piece of cake, or all these small efforts may be wasted.

On the contrary, people who have beneficial intestinal bacteria in their bodies will not gain weight even if they do not deliberately resist eating. This is because even if you eat the same amount of food, you will absorb fewer calories.

Second, it makes people fat. In other words, it makes people want to eat oily foods and snacks containing a lot of sucrose.

You may have eaten a whole bag of potato chips without realizing it, or made some noodles and ate them all while wandering around the kitchen at night... These impulsive behaviors are all caused by dirty fat bacteria.

You may have heard or seen a slender model say that he "doesn't hold back and eats when he wants to." Maybe you are thinking at the moment, "This is definitely a lie. They say this, but they must be holding back on eating it privately..." But this is the truth. If the dirty fat bacteria in your body decreases, you will crave less fatty foods or sweets.

Jeffrey of the University of Washington. Professor Gordon conducted experiments on mice, and the results were published in Science, one of the world's most authoritative scientific journals. He took the gut bacteria of the fatter of two human twins and transplanted it into mice, and the mice started to gain weight. When the gut bacteria of the thinner twin were transplanted into mice, the mice remained thin. The two types of mice ate and exercised almost the same amount, but obtained different results.

As the number of dirty fat bacteria increases, people will want to eat fattening foods more often and absorb too many calories from the food, causing their bodies to continue to gain weight... It can be said that it is "accelerating obesity." Of course, the blood will also be full of fat and dirty and oily.

On the other hand, "slim bacteria" can produce short-chain fatty acids to help people lose weight. Short-chain fatty acids are a natural weight-loss drug. After being absorbed by the intestines, they can be transported throughout the body through the bloodstream, thereby improving the quality of blood flow.

Obesity is a condition caused by the accumulation of excessive fat in adipocytes. If fat cells absorb nutrients from the blood, they will gradually swell. If natural weight loss drugs enter the cells at this time, they can stop the accumulation of fat and help burn fat.

More than a thousand customers came to our pharmacy for weight loss consultation, and they lost an average of five to six kilograms. Based on the theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I told them how to remove phlegm and dampness, thereby improving the quality and quantity of blood flow. Next we will talk about the specific methods, but in a nutshell, it is to reduce dirty fat bacteria and increase slim bacteria.

By implementing this method, you can not only lose weight but also change your food preferences. Many people who originally liked high-fat foods or sweets have successfully switched to healthier eating preferences.

“No more cravings for snacks while working.”

"I feel like vegetables are tastier now, and I don't want to eat fried food anymore."

We received a lot of feedback like this. As their dietary preferences have changed, they no longer have to suppress their appetite when eating, and many people have become less likely to gain weight. Presumably, Traditional Chinese Medicine's method of removing phlegm and dampness can slowly transform the dirty and fat bacteria in the intestines into slim bacteria without anyone noticing.
