White hair and health

People often say that hair is a woman's second face. No matter how long it is, having a smooth and shiny hair is the pursuit of many women, and it can also be used as one of the indicators of health. With the growth of age, hair loss and gray hair caused by aging are inevitable, but we can delay the pace of aging through proper maintenance.

How does Chinese medicine explain hair loss and long white hair?

It is recorded in Huangdi Neijing. Su Wen On ancient naivety: "When a woman is 57 years old (that is, 35 years old), Yangming's pulse fails, her face starts to burn, and her hair begins to fall;" Sixty-seven years old (42 years old), the upper part of the three yang pulse failure, facial coke, hair began to turn white. 」

Dr. Chen Zhijia further explained that when a woman reaches the age of 35, her face will start to turn brown and gaunt, and hair loss will occur; At the age of 42, my hair began to turn white.

"Hair is blood," said Dr. Chen Zhijia, a Chinese doctor. The concept of hair loss and white hair in traditional Chinese medicine is quite similar, that is, sufficient qi and blood will make hair flourish. When the hair is strong, it is not easy to lose hair, and white hair will grow out slowly.

Wu Zixu in ancient China was "white-haired" in just one night. Dr. Chen Zhijia said that it can be seen that white hair is related to our "liver qi".

He further explained that the liver is the official of the general and is in charge of the whole body's qi and blood operation. When we are under emotional pressure, Qi will stagnate, and "the general's command may be wrong", the qi and blood will not reach the head, and the hair will not be nourished, resulting in gray hair overnight.

And if many women are prone to hair loss and blood deficiency after menstruation, it is necessary to replenish blood for themselves in this case. In addition to a balanced diet, you can supplement some iron-containing foods, such as pig liver, pig blood and other internal organs; Red meat such as cattle, pigs and mutton; Seafood such as clams and oysters. If you are a vegetarian, you can add black sesame seeds and bean skin in moderation.

How to maintain your hair daily?

"Kidney-qi, kidney-water and Sanyang pulse will gradually decline from the age of 35 to 42," said Dr. Chen Zhijia, a Chinese medicine practitioner. At this time, whether a person has taken good care of it or not, you can see a big difference. If you want to look younger than people of the same age, the key is whether the "kidney qi" can be maintained.

Eat well: balanced nutrition

Modern people are afraid of being fat and ugly, so they may start dieting, resulting in unbalanced nutrition. Dr. Chen Zhijia emphasized that the first step to solve the hair problem is to have a balanced diet and nutrition, and then check whether other nutrients need to be supplemented one by one.

Hair is at the top of the human body. If we don't get enough nutrition, the body's qi and blood will be insufficient and we can't reach the head. Of course you will lose your hair, white hair.

Have a good sleep: don't stay up late.

Dr. Chen Zhijia said that sleeping is the time to tonify kidney and yin. Sometimes the next day after staying up late, you will find it particularly easy to "dry your mouth", which is caused by drinking too much water and insufficient supplement. Staying up late for a long time will soon age.

"How do you live, the body will repay you. Dr. Chen Zhijia said that if these two things can be done well in life, the anti-aging effect will be much worse.

Spleen deficiency mixed with moisture makes people fat! Do two right things to promote metabolism.

The composition of human body is 70% water. Dr. Chen Zhijia, compare. Imagine that the water in the human body is as clear and clean as a mountain spring at first, but in the process of slowly flowing from the upstream to the downstream, someone may be "dumping garbage", that is, the waste generated in the body, and the water quality will become more and more dirty.

"The liquid in the human body can be divided into three levels, namely, clear water, dirty moisture, and then phlegm. Chen Zhijia, a Chinese doctor, explained that if the liquid in the body becomes more and more viscous and the dirt accumulates more and more, it is possible to plant all kinds of roots. ?

Obesity is also related to water in the body. In traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen is responsible for digestion and metabolism. Dr. Chen Zhijia pointed out that when we develop the bad habit of "eating too much sweets and not eating when we should", it will lead to "spleen deficiency", that is, the insulin system will be destroyed.

In addition to eating habits, staying up late or overworking can also lead to "kidney deficiency." When the spleen and kidney are deficient, the metabolism of the body will slow down, and the body will accumulate too much water unconsciously. "Spleen deficiency mixed with moisture may lead to obesity, and eating casually will make you fat! 」

In order to "get rid of the moisture in the body", Dr. Kaka also explained with the concept of river that in order to keep the water in the body flowing, the following two points must be achieved:

Be sure to exercise.

You don't have to go to the gym or sweat. As long as your breathing and heartbeat can be steadily improved for at least 30 minutes, your body's circulation will be better, promoting flow and metabolism.

Reduce the production of metabolic waste.

In order to keep the river clear, we should not only promote the flow and circulation, but also reduce the generation of garbage at the source.

Eat less cold food.

Eat less sweets.

Eat less over-baked, spicy and fried food.

Drink less
