What is the difference between puffy and real fat?

There is a big difference between pseudo-obesity and real obesity. For example, when it comes to losing weight, it is easier for people with pseudo-obesity to lose weight than those who are really fat, because the flesh of real fat people is firm. Let's take a look at how to distinguish between real fat and pseudo-obesity.

Obesity can be divided into pseudo-obesity and real obesity. The difference lies in the relationship between pseudo-obesity and real obesity. If the common fat areas, such as the buttocks, arms, etc., are loose and soft, they are generally pseudo-obesity. If it is not this kind of obesity, it is considered real obesity. Pseudo-obesity patients usually have a small appetite, and their hands and feet are prone to swelling and muscle relaxation, while real obese patients usually have a large appetite and look stronger.

1. Puffiness

Pseudo-obesity means not eating much, feeling tired easily, and swelling of hands and feet, especially when squatting, the swelling of the calves is quite obvious. Compared with the upper body, the lower body is fatter. The complexion is pale, the speech is weak, afraid of cold, not easy to sweat, and white sputum. Usually, there is little exercise, the muscles are loose and weak, and the urine is light in color.

2. Really fat

Really fat people usually eat more, but always feel empty in the stomach, want to eat all the time, and are prone to constipation, with less than three bowel movements a week. They have a lot of muscles on the outside, and are very strong. They often feel dry mouth and tongue, and have a lot of thick phlegm. Their face is ruddy, and the color of their urine is thick, turbid, yellow, and dark. They also sleep uneasily and often have nightmares.

1. Improve sleep quality

Having a good sleep is not only very helpful for our physical health, but also helps those who are overweight to lose weight. Therefore, people with poor sleep should improve their sleep quality. Poor sleep may be a symptom of physical weakness such as kidney deficiency. The weaker you are, the more likely you are to suffer from insomnia. Such a vicious cycle of sub-health is likely to be the main cause of obesity. Take a walk in the evening, drink a glass of milk before going to bed, or take some Chinese medicine that is good for sleep, etc., and you must improve your sleep.

2. Moderate exercise improves physical fitness

You must persist in exercising to lose weight for a certain period of time, such as jogging for more than 40 minutes, swimming for at least half an hour, massage for about 20 minutes, and yoga for no less than half an hour. Only in this way can it be effective. Just doing a few random movements and persisting for a few minutes will not be effective.

3. Take a hot bath and soak your feet

Taking more baths and soaking your feet in hot water before going to bed, at least three times a week, can promote blood circulation and strengthen metabolism. Taking a hot bath can help lymphatic detoxification. Nowadays, urban pollution has brought external and internal toxins with us. When toxins enter the blood, they will damage blood vessels and cause qi and blood circulation disorders. The detoxifying lymphatic organs will not have time to excrete all the toxins, and the human body will gain weight, become swollen and obese.

4. Drink less water 2 hours before going to bed

People with puffiness will have edema. In order to avoid worsening edema, try to drink less water in the two hours before going to bed. If you are really thirsty and want to drink water, drink it slowly, one mouthful at a time. You can also take a mouthful of water in your mouth and then swallow it slowly. This will help water absorption, and your face will not be swollen when you wake up the next day.

5. Eat more diuretic and swelling-reducing foods

Red beans, coix seed, lotus root, winter melon, etc. are all diuretic and detumescent foods. Eating more of these foods can clear moisture from the body, eliminate excess water, and achieve the goal of weight loss.

In fact, losing weight is not easy. The key is perseverance. Whether it is real obesity or phantom obesity, the weight exceeds the normal index, is in the fat category, and the body fat content is high. Therefore, the channels and process of weight loss are difficult and long. You need to achieve the goal of weight loss through a moderate diet and regular exercise. In the diet, you should eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, and high-protein foods, reduce the intake of carbohydrates and fats (including animal fats), and exercise regularly every day. Only by long-term perseverance can you achieve a relatively satisfactory weight loss effect. "
