People's daily labor activities, sports, class study and other activities, as well as maintaining normal body temperature and various physiological activities, all consume energy. Just as a steam engine needs to burn coal, an internal combustion engine needs gasoline and an electric motor needs electricity. Consumption needs to be supplemented. The human body's heat energy comes from the food it eats every day, and it also needs heat energy to transform these foods. Just like a boiler needs a primer to burn coal.
The body changes at any time and consumes heat energy. When it is sick, it consumes more and its body tends to be colder. So the heat energy in the body will only be insufficient, not too much. Therefore, timely replenishment of heat energy can maintain life-sustaining energy. The so-called fear of heat, broken mouth, like cold drinks, burning sensation, swelling and pain, chapped, fever, hot flashes, bitter taste and so on. All of them are caused by deficiency of qi and blood, and the heat energy is not as good as the false appearance. Why do some people feel safe and comfortable at first after taking cold medicine, and even the symptoms will disappear after a while? This is because these people's physical strength is still good, and their body's heat energy is enough to digest and absorb cold medicine and food, which directly inhibits symptoms and even makes the disease heal; However, for people with weak constitution, cold food can not only be absorbed by the body to suppress symptoms, but also aggravate physical injury because of its overdraft heat energy, leading to repeated delays in symptoms and even inducing other diseases. However, although the cause of the disease was finally improved and the disease was cured through the repair of its own heat energy and the operation of tissues and organs, patients and doctors were mistaken for the role of these cold medicines and food. Some people take it for a long time, ignoring the decline of heat energy and physical strength behind it, and still cling to the initial feeling until the condition begins to deteriorate. In this way, it will be dangerous.
