The difference between edema and obesity Symptoms of edema

Everyone wants a slim figure. Edema-type obesity is generally caused by poor detoxification due to bad living habits. People don’t eat too much every day, but they just can’t lose weight and look fat.

Edema physique is different from general obesity. Many people may have a normal appetite and do not eat too much every day, but they cannot lose weight. This may be caused by edema. It is necessary to promptly identify which type of obesity it is so as to treat it symptomatically and lose weight better.

Methods for identifying edema constitution:

1. After waking up, clench your fists. If you feel swelling or muscle blockage between your fingers, I'm sorry to tell you that your fingers are swollen today.

Second, pinch the flesh on your waist. If it is soft, you have edema. If it is a little hard, you have fat obesity.

1. Hands and feet will feel weak, but appetite is normal.

2. Want to go to bed after eating and don’t want to do any exercise.

3. It is easy to get diarrhea, and the lips are very sticky and not fresh.

4. When you wake up in the morning, you can clearly see swelling in the eyes and other parts.

5. The thighs, buttocks and abdomen are generally very swollen, the limbs appear heavier, and the abdomen often feels bloated.

6. Like to eat strong-flavored ingredients and desserts, get thirsty easily, drink lots of water every day.

1. Lack of exercise

The body's metabolism will slow down. If you don't exercise, it will be difficult for the water in the body to be discharged, and then edema will occur.

2. Heavy-tasting food

If you like to eat strong-smelling food, your metabolism will be low at night, and strong tastes mean excessive sodium intake. In this case, it will be more difficult to excrete water, and edema will be inevitable.

3. Kidney disease

Problems with the kidneys themselves can lead to sudden edema. Renal edema is caused by chronic kidney damage such as acute or chronic nephritis or kidney disease, hypertension, diabetes, etc., which leads to reduced renal blood flow, sodium and water retention, and increased capillary permeability.

Appetite is average, but hands and feet are weak; do not like to exercise; feel weak all over after eating and want to lie down; mouth is sticky; urination is blocked; stomach upset is easy; eyes are swollen when getting up in the morning, etc. The limbs are heavy, the abdomen often feels full, and the hands and feet are swollen, especially the thighs, buttocks and abdomen. Generally, this type of people have the habit of taking medicine for a long time, are easily thirsty, drink a lot of water, and like strong flavors. Long-term standing or sitting work, hormonal imbalance caused by mental stress, eating too salty, etc., or taking special medicines may cause poor venous circulation, leading to local constitutional edema. Constitutional edema is the most common edema, especially in women.
