Why do people get fat easily in middle age?
Why do people get fat when they reach middle age? An international research team recently published in the British magazine Nature? Medicine published a paper saying that this may be related to the lipid turnover (the ability to store and remove lipids) in adipose tissue. With the growth of age, a person is more likely to get fat even if he doesn't eat more or exercise less. According to a recent report by official website of Caroline Medical College in Sweden, researchers said that they had followed up the adipocytes of 54 adult men and women for an average of 13 years.

The results showed that lipid turnover in adipose tissue of all subjects decreased regardless of weight gain or loss. Those who didn't make up for this deficiency by reducing calorie intake gained an average weight of 20%. The study also found that except those who "hedged" the decline in fat turnover by reducing calorie intake, other subjects gained an average weight of 20%. Researchers believe that lipid turnover in adipose tissue is an important factor in weight regulation. This achievement is expected to open up a new way for the treatment of obesity.

Analysis of TCM pathogenesis of middle-aged obesity: From the perspective of TCM, all obesity originates from Yang deficiency. Yang qi, yin forming. On the other hand, Wang Yang will be full of gasification, and cloudy turbidity cannot be accumulated, which naturally will not lead to obesity. Yang deficiency leads to yin exuberance, and male beer belly is fundamentally caused by spleen yang deficiency. Beer-induced cold injures spleen yang, which leads to spleen loss of healthy transport and gasification, which is manifested by lipid accumulation in the abdomen, leading to abdominal distension. Although people who drink beer often have weak spleen and stomach, even those who don't drink beer will have a big stomach if their spleen and stomach are weak. The appearance of female swimming rings is also the result of yang deficiency and kidney yang deficiency. Spleen is in focus, and spleen yang deficiency leads to paunchy.

Modern medical research shows that middle-aged people get fat as a result of fat metabolism. It pays attention to fat, but it doesn't know that the disorder of fat metabolism is only the result of non-gasification of yang. In this way, the vision of modern medicine is far less bright than that of traditional medicine. But in any case, obesity will become a global health problem after middle age, which deserves high attention.
