Contrary to popular belief, fat is not stored energy—at least not in the Chinese medicine framework. It’s accumulated waste.
When digestion is weak, it can’t process and eliminate waste effectively. That waste becomes what we call “dampness,” which eventually becomes fat.
Science backs this up. When fat breaks down, it becomes carbon dioxide and water. You exhale it and sweat it out. There’s no part of it that gets converted into useful energy.
To avoid damp accumulation, your digestive system must be warm, strong, and efficient. If it isn’t, waste builds up. And over time, dampness turns to phlegm and deeper imbalances.
To lose fat in a healthy way, we must support digestion—not starve it or stress it out.
