How is edema-type obesity formed? How to judge edema-type obesity?

Edema is a problem that many people have, usually caused by malnutrition. Edema will make the whole person look bloated and fat, and look plump. In fact, if you improve your body, edema-type obesity can be easily eliminated.

1. Indigestion Some people have a poor absorption and digestion system, especially those who "get fat even if they drink water" are prone to edema-type obesity. Because the body's digestive system is not good, harmful substances and excess water in the body cannot be discharged, which will cause a lot of toxins in the body, which will lead to edema-type obesity over time.

2. Lack of exercise Lack of exercise can lead to numbness in the legs, and poor blood circulation in the body can cause edema. Especially sitting or standing in the office all day may cause local edema, such as swelling in the lower body. In this way, the legs and waist look really chubby, like a "pear-shaped figure".

3. Excessive salt intake Excessive daily salt intake and excessive sodium will seriously hinder the elimination of excess water. In addition, eating too much salt will make you thirsty and require a large amount of water. When the water intake exceeds the water excretion, edema-type obesity will occur. In addition, excessive salt intake will not only easily cause edema-type obesity, but also increase the heart load and even cause diseases such as high blood pressure.

4. Imbalanced hormone secretion. The body's movement is closely related to various hormones. In addition, in addition to general hormones that can hinder the discharge of water, there are also some special hormones, such as insulin, estrogen, estradiol, etc., which, if secreted abnormally, will affect the human kidneys, break the sodium balance in the body and hinder the discharge of excess water. Of course, in addition to the natural hormones in our body, some prescription drugs such as birth control pills and painkillers can also change the level of hormones in your body and hinder the discharge of water.

5. Insufficient intake of calories and nutrients. Studies have shown that insufficient calorie intake will affect the discharge of excess water in the body, and it is easy for water to accumulate in the body to form edema-type obesity. If your daily calorie intake is less than 1,200 calories, the lack of protein in the blood will hinder the discharge of excess water and lead to the appearance of edema-type obesity. In addition, insufficient nutrient intake can also cause malnutrition edema. Malnutrition edema, also known as hypoproteinemia, is a special manifestation of nutritional deficiency. Due to long-term negative nitrogen balance, plasma protein decreases, colloid osmotic pressure decreases, and systemic edema occurs as its characteristic.

6. Bad living habits Bad living habits can also cause edema. For example, if you don't get enough sleep, stay up late, or drink too much water before going to bed, your face will be swollen the next day, and sometimes you will feel your legs swollen when you fall down. At the same time, some bad living habits such as smoking and drinking can cause endocrine disorders in women, reduced immunity, decreased metabolic function of the body, and even poor blood circulation, which can cause edema-type obesity.

Generally speaking, if you press down hard on the fat part with your hand and when you lift your hand up, if you find that the part you pressed turns white and takes a long time to recover, it is an obvious symptom of edema-type obesity. Of course, some people with edema-type obesity have mild edema, and pressing may not be able to clearly identify it at once. In this case, you can also use the following methods to identify it:

1. Pinch the flesh on your waist with your hands. If it feels loose and soft, it is edema-type obesity. If it feels hard, it is fat-type obesity.

2. When you wake up every morning, you find that your face is fatter than usual, but after a day, it becomes thinner again in the evening. This is one of the manifestations of edema-type obesity.

3. Every afternoon, I found that my calves became swollen and felt hard to the touch. It usually took me a while to move around before they returned to their original state.

4. The shoes I bought fit my feet well, but they felt smaller in the afternoon and were tight. I often had to change into slippers in the office to relieve the pain.

5. The weight in the morning and afternoon is inconsistent. Generally speaking, if the difference between morning and evening reaches more than one kilogram, it can be judged that you have symptoms of edema.

6. Obese people with mild edema drink water every night before going to bed because they feel thirsty, but they will feel swollen feet, face, and body when they wake up.

Tips: If you have the above symptoms, then it is basically certain that you have edema-type obesity. However, there is no need to be too nervous. To treat edema-type obesity, you need to eat more potassium-containing foods.

1. Swollen face This is usually caused by drinking too much water, especially drinking too much water at night, which slows down the body's metabolism and causes water metabolism disorders, resulting in the inability to excrete water as quickly as during the day, or because of the accumulation of skin toxins on the face. These may all lead to facial edema. In addition, facial edema usually occurs two days before menstruation, and will gradually improve after the menstruation ends.

Solution: You can slim your face through daily massage, which is also relatively easy to eliminate.

2. Fat face This situation is mostly caused by not paying attention to eating habits, overeating, and over-nutrition of food, which causes excess fat to accumulate on the face and form a chubby face.

Solution: For those with fat face, you can eat some face-slimming fruits and vegetables, such as nuts, winter melon, natto, carrots, etc., and adjust healthy eating habits. In addition, you can also do some face-slimming exercises and face-slimming massages.

3. Masseter muscle hypertrophy Do not underestimate the masseter muscle as a factor that causes facial obesity. If you eat too hard or frequently use your teeth to chew snacks, the facial muscles will become more and more developed and firm, resulting in a large face shape.

How to identify: When you close your teeth, touch the masseter muscles on both sides at the mandibular angle and feel the contraction and thickness of the masseter muscles. If you compare the contraction of the masseter muscles, you can clearly feel the masseter muscles and the thickening of the masseter muscles.

Solution: For masseter muscle hypertrophy, you can only use face-lifting injections to slim your face. However, face-lifting injections cannot be done blindly, but must follow the doctor's instructions and listen to the professional doctor's instructions. Girls who are thinking of getting face-lifting injections must pay attention!

In fact, edema-type obesity, which we usually call puffiness, is caused by the accumulation of excess water in the body, which leads to poor detoxification. It is a kind of pseudo-obesity, and it is naturally easier to lose weight than real obesity. The key is to eliminate toxins and water in the body, such as eating more potassium-containing diuretic foods, paying attention to maintaining good sleep in daily life, and eating less salty, fatty, and greasy foods. Edema will naturally subside soon.
