Importance of spleen and stomach health preservation
The strength of a person's spleen and stomach function is directly related to the rise and fall of his life. People with weak spleen and stomach have weak speech, weak body and many diseases.
Chinese medicine believes that qi and blood of human body are transformed from spleen and stomach by food. If the spleen and stomach function normally, the human body can always supplement nutrition and gain a steady stream of vitality; If the spleen and stomach are damaged and deformed, and things are small for a long time, there may be situations such as haggard face and insufficient blood.
In summer, many people like cold food. Cold food can stimulate the gastric mucosa and lead to gastric nerve disorder. Eating too greasy and sweet food will increase the digestive burden of the spleen and stomach, and it will also do some harm to the spleen and stomach.
Irregular diet, staying up late, working overtime, etc. It also has an effect on spleen and stomach disorders. Irregular life leads to endocrine disorders, dysfunction of spleen and stomach nerves, and disharmony between spleen and stomach.
The influence of emotion on the stomach can not be ignored. ? Is the stomach an emotional barometer? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that liver-qi discomfort will damage the spleen and stomach. A bad mood can cause gastrointestinal dysfunction, and anger and tension can increase gastric acid secretion, leading to indigestion. We often see that people who are easily angry and sensitive often have problems such as loss of appetite, bloating and emaciation when they are in a bad mood.
After beginning of autumn, the air-conditioning in the office is still the same, but people are prone to air-conditioning diseases while enjoying the cool breeze. Especially after beginning of autumn, the weather is cooler in the morning and evening, and if you are not careful, you will have abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, cold, waist and shoulder pain and other symptoms. After beginning of autumn, it is cold in the morning and evening, so it is not easy to turn on the air conditioner for a long time. It is best not to turn it on at night or only to turn on dehumidification.
Five small details of spleen and stomach health care
1. light diet and regular diet.
Insist? More vegetables, less meat, seven points full? Good dietary principles and regular diet are the key to spleen and stomach conditioning. Eat more fruits, vegetables and miscellaneous grains according to your physique, and supplement protein appropriately.
2. Life is regular.
Huangdi Neijing says:? Eat regularly, live regularly, and don't act rashly, in order to be in harmony with God and try your best to spend a hundred years. ? Therefore, it is very important to work and rest regularly. Go to bed before 23 o'clock every day and have a lunch break for 20 minutes.
3. Moderate exercise health care
Chinese medicine has? To help the spleen? Walking helps to strengthen the function of the spleen and stomach and promote digestion. Walking 10 thousand steps a day can meet the daily exercise needs of ordinary people, and at the same time play a role in regulating the spleen and stomach.
4. Pay attention to keep warm and eat less cold food.
Spleen and stomach prefer warm to cold. Not only should we eat less cold food, but we should also pay attention to protecting the spleen and stomach, navel and uterus when dressing.
5. Relax and listen to more music.
A relaxed environment and a happy mood will greatly increase people's appetite. Listening to more music can make people feel comfortable, gastrointestinal peristalsis, digestive enzymes increase, and spleen and stomach function enhance.
Strengthening spleen and nourishing stomach
First, eat only eight points full: this means eating enough without eating! Don't overeat every meal, because the stomach needs to consume qi and blood energy to digest food. Overeating will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, and what you eat will not be fully absorbed. Therefore, every meal should be careful not to be too full, and eight points full is the best state. Excessive food will only increase the burden on the spleen and stomach and bring garbage to the body.
Second, porridge and staple food should be sufficient: in a meal, the total amount of porridge and staple food should account for half, that is, staple food and porridge each account for half, and vegetables account for half. The whole grains and beans eaten in this way can provide the body with enough raw materials for making qi and blood, and can also balance the yin and yang in the body. Breakfast and lunch are staple foods, and dinner is mainly porridge and paste.
Third, chewing slowly is the key: when it comes to this, many people have never really done it. Because of the fast pace of life now, I often eat in a hurry and don't chew every bite of food at all. The food we eat in the stomach is broken down into paste by the stomach for the body to absorb. Everyone thinks that there are no teeth in the stomach, so they can only crawl on the stomach. The mucosa in the stomach is just like the mucosa in our mouth. If we eat cold, hot, spicy, hard and large pieces, it will stimulate the mucosa in gastric peristalsis. We grow teeth just for chewing, don't leave the task of teeth to the stomach, this is the destruction of the stomach! I hope you don't do such cruel things and try your best to take care of our spleen and stomach. Try to chew the food in the mouth into a fine paste, which can reduce the burden on the stomach and be fully absorbed after swallowing. This is the same as letting everyone drink rice paste often, which is conducive to absorption.
By the way, everyone should take good care of their teeth. Don't bite hard objects such as bottle caps and walnuts with your teeth. Brush your teeth in the morning and evening, rinse your mouth after meals, and tonify the kidney well, because teeth are the external manifestations of kidney essence, and people with insufficient kidney essence have bad teeth! If your teeth are broken and you can't chew food fully, your stomach will be the biggest victim!
Chewing slowly can control the amount of food you eat, and you can also be eight points full. If you gobble, you will often overeat, because your stomach has not had time to spread the feeling of fullness to your brain, so you often eat until you are twelve or thirteen points full. If you eat too much, your body can't absorb it at all, and it will become garbage and accumulate in your body, making you fat and grow a big belly. Therefore, chewing slowly can achieve the effect of avoiding obesity, because the food intake is reduced but the absorption is improved. For obese people, they can lose weight by controlling excessive food intake without reducing the energy of qi and blood. A friend of Lotus, who is very fat and loves to eat, was persuaded by Lotus to control his excessive appetite. Two months later, he found that he had lost ten pounds and his body was much lighter! How's it going? Should we pay attention to chewing slowly?
Four: cold drinks, spicy as tigers, are the killers of the spleen and stomach;
Since cold drinks appeared in the refrigerator, they have occupied many people's stomachs. Without cold drinks in summer, many people feel that they can't live. Especially when the summer heat is unbearable, a bottle of iced drink and an ice cream may seem to refresh you, but drinking a lot of drinks with a body temperature below 30 degrees will make all the blood vessels in your stomach contract sharply and the blood needed by your stomach increase sharply. Your heart and spleen must mobilize a lot of blood to help it. It needs to be warmed by the heat of the cold drink itself. Have you ever wondered how much energy your mouth needs to be happy? ! This cold naturally turns into cold accumulation in the spleen and stomach, cold and phlegm-dampness. Eating a lot of cold drinks and fresh fruits and vegetables is the main reason for the accumulation of phlegm and dampness in the spleen and stomach. Often the spleen yang will be seriously damaged and the heart will be involved.
Chinese medicine pays attention to tonifying spleen in summer, because spleen is the most tired in summer, so it is necessary to strengthen spleen and promote diuresis in summer, eat more ginger and help the body disperse. Moreover, most people not only don't support the spleen, but also give it cold fried D every day. Nowadays, people are upside down. In summer, they use cold drinks every day, but they want to collect them in winter, but they burn them with spicy hot pot and barbecue every day. What did you say?/Sorry?
Girls will also have dysmenorrhea, which will affect their future fertility. In addition, the child's spleen is still insufficient. Cold drinks in summer directly lead to cold stomach and lungs, frequent cough, stuffy nose, diarrhea, and enteritis in the future, which is very unfavorable for children's growth.
Lotus's grandfather is an old Chinese doctor, and his health is very particular. When I was a child, in summer, my grandfather and mother stipulated that lotus could only eat one watermelon at a time, and no more than two pieces a day. After eating watermelon, he must exercise for a while. Drinking water in summer must be hot, even if it is hot, he should not drink cold boiled water. He shouldn't eat anything like sorbet soda, let alone cold rice. Although these things are small, Lotus remembers them deeply. Grandpa has been dead for 20 years, but the love he gave to his relatives and the compassion of doctors will make Lotus shed tears of yearning and gratitude every time I think about it. Lotus said so much today, which is also a deep understanding of grandpa's painstaking efforts in the past. He couldn't bear to make people who didn't understand these truths suffer again, so he took pains to talk and talk. Please be sure to think twice!
Let's talk about the most exciting pepper, which directly stimulates the gastrointestinal mucosa and is difficult to take off. It stays in the body, enters the liver and gallbladder, enters the lungs and intestines, enters the spleen and stomach, becomes dry and depressed, and then it will often get angry, and it will get angry when it gets angry. Stagnation of liver and gallbladder, deficiency of stomach yin, lung heat and lung dryness, and finally gastrointestinal ulcer, duodenal ulcer, enteritis, intestinal ulcer and gastrointestinal bleeding.
Speaking of shame, lotus is the victim who loves to eat Chili. Because lotus has been a vegetarian since childhood, she can make her own vegetarian dishes at home. Later, when she was in college, Lotus was not used to cooking with big fat slices in the canteen. So I often go to the cold rice noodle shop outside the school and have a bowl of cold rice noodles for dinner. In this way, I ate Chili peppers for three or four years and became a fan of Sichuan and Hunan cuisine. At that time, I also knew that eating too much spicy food was bad for my stomach, but I indulged myself because I only felt fragrant and my stomach was not uncomfortable. Because the lotus is cold, I didn't show the phenomenon of getting angry at first, but the hidden dangers are increasing every day, and the accumulated heat poison is about to break out. It really took two or three years for severe gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer and cholecystitis to break out together, often with stomach pain, gallbladder pain, toothache, tonsil abscess and fever. It took four years for Chinese medicine to basically remove heat toxin from the body, but the energy of qi and blood decreased a lot, and the damage to the spleen and stomach has not fully recovered. What a painful lesson!
In fact, people in Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei, Yunnan and Guizhou eat Chili every day. They eat it every day because the damp heat in those places is very heavy, and they need peppers and peppers to drive away the damp heat, otherwise there will be rheumatism. But now the whole people love to eat Chili, and the word spicy has dominated the table. All the dishes are red peppers, and many people are unhappy without them. People nowadays are pursuing the feeling of excitement. Life not only needs stimulation, but even once the taste reaches a certain intensity, they refuse to return to dullness. Although I wasn't born in Sichuan and other places, I have trained the spicy mouth in the lyrics of spicy girl, but do you have such a stomach? Hot dishes only stay in the mouth for dozens of seconds, but stay in the stomach for two or three hours. Can gastric mucosa stand it? Don't keep swallowing hot dishes if you don't believe me, and see how long your oral mucosa can bear it. The climate in the north and central plains is dry, and there is no wet and cold to be removed. So eating too much can only be ulcers, abscesses, eczema, stones and hemorrhoids. In short, you have suffered. This is the importance of regional cuisine mentioned by Lotus earlier.
Lotus advises you not to indulge your appetite and hurt the viscera that you have worked hard for all your life. They are truly selfless and fearless heroes, and they will not stop working as long as there is breath left. Everyone should be deeply grateful to all his internal organs, bones, flesh, even every inch of skin and every cell every day, thanking them for their selfless and rigorous work for us, and always repenting of all kinds of cruel and selfish behaviors they suffered because of indulging their appetite.
Five, vegetarian food is not without nutrition, light eating is not without oil and salt:
Many friends think that vegetarian food has no nutrition and people will be weak if they eat it for a long time. This is not the case! Lotus has been a vegetarian since childhood. She doesn't eat any animal food or drink milk because she can't stand the smell of milk. She just eats whole grains with all kinds of vegetables and bean products. Lotus is1.63m in height and108kg in weight. She has been the captain of the school dance team since kindergarten. The teacher said that Lotus is very flexible and doesn't feel tired after school for an hour or two every day, so it never stops from primary school to university. At school, every sports meeting is the champion of all-grade women 100 meters and 200 meters, and her physical quality is better than others.
If the lotus is congenitally healthy, it tells you that the lotus is still premature. She was nearly a month premature. When she gave birth to Lotus, her mother was thirty-six years old and in poor health. Lotus is really not born strong, but it is nourishing to eat every day the day after tomorrow. Unfortunately, eating Chili peppers hurt my stomach when I was living in college, and now I'm trying to protect my spleen and stomach!
Lotus never goes to a beauty salon or buys expensive cosmetics. Every day, it looks dull, but people who look at it say that lotus flowers look good. The expression on her face is actually directly related to stomach qi, because stomach qi is enough to spread on her face, so she will have blood color and rosy lips. In this way, the lotus hurt my stomach. When I was at school, my classmates called me a peach doll, saying that the face of the lotus was as bright as a peach, as if it could flow out with a poke. It's not as good as before. I really regret eating Chili in those days, regret it! Lotus repents with liver, gallbladder, spleen and stomach very devoutly every day. Please forgive the indulgence and irresponsibility of Lotus!
Another problem is that many friends want to stop eating oil and salt after hearing that their diet is light. As a result, they cook with water every day, and their families and stomachs are in trouble. They really eat noodles like vegetables. It doesn't have to be like this. Light means not eating big fish and meat, not spicy, not greasy and not thick, five flavors are harmonious, and the oil and salt are moderate, not not eating. You can't cook with water every day, just wash your intestines occasionally. We are still ordinary people, and we haven't let go of our status as monks. Only by putting down my body completely can people be free from the control of my body, without oil and salt, or even eating. Enlightened saints like the old monk Guang Qin can eat nothing for several days, or one fruit a day is enough, because they have no delusions and distractions, and their hearts are in a state of meditation every day. Every day, my brain turns 800 times, my body and mind are very turbid, and my natural energy consumption is very fast. If you insist on not eating, you will only starve to death.
At that time, the disciple of the old monk Guangqin asked to eat at noon, which was severely rejected by the old monk. The old monk said: Eating a meal during an eclipse depends on your physique. If you force yourself, your body will not support you, and diseases will follow. The eclipse is still clinging to me, still for myself, not for others, for the benefit of all beings, and there is no need to follow this example. Practice is not about enduring hunger and thirst. Eating a meal a day will not only lead to an increase in internal deficiency fire, but also make the body lose money. Endure it for a long time and you will become a member of Hungry Ghost Road. Three meals are just to satisfy hunger, as long as you don't eat too much, just eat enough, and don't be greedy! Eating at noon, or not eating after noon, all follow the natural situation of the body. In the case of fullness and purity, it is not natural to eat more, but to leave more extra food behind. This is not a matter of hunger and reluctance. As you are now, you are still in a state of ignorance, and I am afraid that the food you eat is not enough for your body to consume. What are you talking about? Stay hungry! Not eating is not a matter of life and death! In order to live and die, we must get rid of foolish habits and bear the burden of humiliation first!
Seeing this, please think about it. Are you naturally unwilling to eat oil, salt or food because your body and mind are clean enough? If you don't eat, you won't feel hungry or empty. If you insist on not eating, Lotus advises you to start eating quickly.
Many friends say that they can cook meat dishes, but they can't cook vegetarian dishes. Because vegetarian dishes are tasteless, maybe they haven't let go of their heartfelt love and yearning for meat. Lotus made a lot of vegetarian dishes, all kinds of pasta, snacks and pictures in the vegetarian villa of the forum. You might as well go and have a look. Lotus is not bragging. Lotus has been cooking for the whole family since the fourth grade of primary school. After a long period of training, the lotus of each dish is delicious and healthy, because the lotus is matched according to the season, climate and vegetables produced in the season. The vegetarian stuffing of lotus is delicious. It's used to make soup! One day, if it's jiaozi or steamed stuffed bun, just a friend calls to know, and they will run to Lianhua's house. It's no use pretending to refuse on the phone. Soon Lotus's home will think of a firm knock at the door!
6. Don't lose weight by skipping meals, especially breakfast: As mentioned earlier, obesity is not due to eating staple food, but to spleen deficiency and excessive phlegm, which is difficult to transport. Therefore, it is wrong to lose weight without eating. Eat well, chew slowly, don't sleep late, walk for one or two hours every day, rub your abdomen every morning and evening, practice deep breathing, and eat some foods that strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis, such as coix seed, poria cocos, white lentils and yam, which can effectively remove the garbage in your body. When the garbage is discharged, your body will naturally relax. If the humidity is too heavy, you can also take some Chinese medicines to strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis. Don't go to the gym to run and do aerobics on an empty stomach, which will only aggravate the decline of qi and blood. Once the stomach gas is weak to the extreme, it will form anorexia, that is, the stomach gas is gone, so many people who lose weight and become anorexia will eventually be unable to eat, because the stomach gas is gone, and finally only die. This is a death without stomach gas! In fact, many girls are starting to lose weight now. People who are not fat have to starve themselves to skin and bones and call themselves thin. Alas, how can they be mothers in the future?
Seven, constipation is not just getting angry:
Constipation, many people think it is getting angry. Eating cool fruits and vegetables and relaxing tea is really effective, not because it will be worse. Why? Constipation can be divided into qi secret and blood secret. The secret of qi is caused by qi deficiency of lung and kidney, because the lung and large intestine are from the outside to the inside, and the kidney has two stools, so constipation will be formed due to the lack of promotion caused by qi deficiency of two viscera. Such constipation is not hard, but it is difficult to discharge. After defecation, you will feel short of breath, flustered and weak. The secret of blood is due to blood deficiency and intestinal dryness, and insufficient body fluid leads to difficulty in defecation. This kind of constipation is dry and hard, and many elderly people or people with blood deficiency after childbirth or illness will have this situation. These two methods of treating constipation must be regulating qi and nourishing blood to be effective. If you take cold medicine indiscriminately, it will only make things worse. Therefore, friends with constipation must identify the symptoms and find the root causes to treat them well.
Eight, don't say unpleasant topics when eating:
Many families can't get together to talk about things until dinner. Sometimes it is inevitable to reprimand a few words because of some family chores or educating children. These must be resolutely put an end to, and everything will be said after dinner. Because when people get angry, it will lead to liver qi rushing up, liver and gallbladder stagnation, which will lead to the inhibition of stomach qi and the inability to work well. Western medicine has done an experiment to prove that when people are angry and anxious, they will secrete a lot of gastric acid to corrode the gastric mucosa, causing pantothenic acid and heartburn. In fact, this just confirms the theory of Chinese medicine. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the liver and gallbladder belong to wood, and the spleen and stomach belong to soil. Under normal circumstances, the liver and gallbladder should restrain the spleen and stomach, and the five elements are woody and sour. Therefore, when people are angry, liver qi rushes to the stomach, which will be manifested as increased gastric acid, which is caused by liver qi invading the stomach. When you understand this truth, you must remember never to talk about unpleasant topics when eating, that is, don't get angry at ordinary times, otherwise it will damage your liver, gallbladder and spleen and stomach. Only when people are calm can their bodies be harmonious, which is also the importance of Chinese medicine to pay attention to emotional health preservation.
Nine, rest for an hour after meals: We must resolutely put an end to reading books, reading newspapers, surfing the Internet and watching TV immediately after meals, because we should try our best to supply blood to the stomach and digest food after meals. Reading books and newspapers online at this time will mobilize blood to the brain and eyes and weaken the blood supply to the stomach, which must have enough blood supply, so the heart will pump more blood to these organs, and the chain reaction is to make the heart, stomach and stomach. The stomach and heart are damaged, so it is best not to do these things within one hour after meals. You can sit quietly for a while and let your blood work fully in your stomach.
Ten, eat dinner early, resolutely put an end to eating supper: don't stay up late at night, just ask for dinner early, and don't eat too much, light and avoid greasy. I had to go to bed at ten o'clock, so I ate late for dinner and was full. My stomach hasn't fully digested my meal, so I'm going to bed. When sleeping, the blood circulation will slow down, and there will be a lot of undigested food in the stomach, so that the stomach can't get enough qi and blood work, and the stomach can't get enough rest, because bile will participate in digestion, which will also bring trouble to the liver and gallbladder. In the long run, it will lead to stomach diseases and hepatolithiasis. So eat dinner early, at least two hours before going to bed.
