Chinese medicine practitioner Chen Chaozong said that Chinese medicine believes that the causes of endocrine disorders are mainly related to stress and abnormal work and rest, which cause "spleen and kidney yang deficiency constitution." People with this physique are prone to a significant decrease in water and energy metabolism, as their spleen and kidneys cannot function normally, making it easier for fat to accumulate.
