What are the hazards of spleen deficiency? Pay attention to these three points

Generally speaking, spleen deficiency can cause great harm to human health. Among the common hazards caused by spleen deficiency, decreased appetite is the most common. Of course, we should also pay more attention to the following three dangers of spleen deficiency.

Decreased appetite

Because in traditional Chinese medicine theory, when moisture enters the body it is most likely to damage the spleen. The main function of the spleen is to digest and absorb various foods and liquids eaten into the body, convert these substances into nutrients that can be used by the human body, and provide new energy for human metabolism.

Most people will experience a decrease in appetite and digestive function in the hot and humid environment of summer. However, there are also some people whose appetite is not affected and they have a strong sense of hunger, but they feel full after eating. This is also a sign of a strong stomach and a weak spleen.

Changes in tongue coating

Changes in the tongue are an external manifestation of the spleen. The surface of a healthy tongue should be red and look moist. There is a layer of tongue coating on the tongue, which is thin and very clean. If there are obvious teeth marks on the edge of the tongue, it means that there is a problem with the body's function.

If the tongue coating is white and thick, and looks smooth and moist, it means that there is cold in the body; if the tongue coating is rough or very thick, yellow and greasy, it means that there is damp heat in the body; if the tongue is red and has no coating, it means that the body is already hot to a certain degree and has damaged the yin. At the same time, in summer, people with damp spleen often feel sticky in the mouth and have a dull and yellow complexion.

Heavy humidity

People with heavy dampness may also gain significant weight in a short period of time, and in severe cases may experience problems such as lower limb edema.

90% of obese people have weak constitutions. Physical weakness is caused by the weakening of the spleen and stomach functions. Physical weakness will lead to a slowdown in metabolism and weakened body vitality, thereby reducing the ability to consume nutrients. Nutrients cannot be consumed and thus accumulate in the body, causing obesity.
