Understand the causes of overweight and obesity
In Western medicine, overweight and obesity are considered complex chronic conditions resulting from an interaction between genetic, environmental and behavioral factors.
Recommendations often include changes to the diet, an increase in physical activity and, in some cases, pharmacological or surgical interventions such as bariatric surgery. Management aims to reduce the complications associated with obesity while improving the quality of life of patients.
The excess weight is generally caused by an energy imbalance, where the caloric intake exceeds the energy expenditure.Several causes contribute to this imbalance:
Unbalanced food
Excessive consumption of foods rich in calories, saturated fats and added sugars promotes the accumulation of body fat.
Sedentary lifestyle
An inactive lifestyle reduces energy expenditure, thus facilitating weight gain.
Genetic factors
Stress, anxiety or depression can cause compulsive eating behaviors or food overconsumption.
Psychological factors
Stress, anxiety or depression can cause compulsive eating behaviors or food overconsumption.
Environmental factors
Easy access to processed foods, aggressive food marketing and obesogenic environments also contribute to the increase in overweight and obesity.
It is important to note that overweight and obesity increase the risk of developing chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain cancers. Global management, including changes in lifestyle, balanced diet and regular physical activity, is essential to prevent and deal with these conditions.
MTC's point of view
In traditional Chinese medicine (MTC), overweight and difficulty inMaintain a size weightare often attributed to aEnergy imbalance in digestive organs, mainly the spleen and the stomach. These organs are associated with the Earth element, which symbolizes the transformation and transport of nutrients. A weakening of the energy of the spleen can cause an accumulation of humidity and mucus, contributing to weight gain.
The MTC also assesses the balance between Yin and Yang, the two opposite and complementary forces which regulate the body. An excess of yin or an insufficiency of yang can slow down metabolism, while excess yang or insufficiency of yin can increase appetite. The practitioner identifies these imbalances to adapt the treatment, aimed at harmonizing yin and yang and restoring the balance of elements.
Thus, the MTC offers aHolistic approach to weight loss, by treating the deep causes of energy imbalances and promoting overall health.
