Some people will say that because of the lack of qi and blood, it is good to eat something that supplements qi and blood.
If things are as simple as that, there should be no people with insufficient qi and blood.
Because our era is the era when complementary food first overflows.
There are too many traditional Chinese medicines, western medicines and various nutritional supplements in life, which was unimaginable in previous times.
After eating so much, there is still a lack of qi and blood, which means that the problem is not here, so where is the problem?
What consumes our qi and blood?
1. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the biggest consumption of qi and blood in human body is emotion first.
When we are thinking, thinking, worrying, angry and upset, we are all consuming qi and blood.
The problem of modern people is to overuse their brains. As we all know, many people who practice Buddhism and Taoism are disease-free and live a long life. Monks are vegetarians, while Taoists avoid the valley. From this point, it can be disproved that it is a lost way for the world to increase qi and blood by eating supplements and nutrition.
What do practitioners practice? It is the heart that is cultivated.
In the final analysis, their practice is meditation, with six clean roots and staying away from the hubbub. In the final analysis, it is reduction.
2. Overnutrition will steal our blood.
If you eat more nutrients than your body needs, your body will get rid of these nutritional wastes.
For example, it takes effort to move things, and it takes effort to move things.
Garbage in life needs to be burned centrally, and most of the internal heat of human body is also the combustion of nutrient garbage.
Some people will say that after eating meat and taking supplements, I feel energetic and energetic.
In fact, this energy may just be supported by a virtual fire. I take supplements every day and check my body. I find that there are many diseases and many qi and blood deficiencies.
Clinically, if the patient's pulse is lack of qi and blood, but his spirit is very high, we call it inverse disease. This disease is difficult to treat. If he is in a bad mood and wants to sleep, the disease will be smooth and easy to cure.
In ancient Chinese medicine, replenishing qi and blood is not to replenish medicine at the beginning, but to balance the circulation. Balance of Yin and Yang, smooth circulation, qi and blood will grow.
Many people say that they feel tired and want to sleep after taking medicine. I said you can sleep if you want. This is the reaction of people with deficiency of both qi and blood, indicating that the human body has returned to a nourishing state, and deficiency of both qi and blood is still annoying and exciting. This is broken, but there are many such people now.
Another reason that consumes our qi and blood is the fast-paced life.
Now everything is fast, people speak faster and faster, traffic is faster and faster, and the pace of movies is faster and faster, which will consume energy severely.
The trend of mankind is bound to be faster and faster, because tools are developing and technology is developing, but can our bodies keep up?
Can our qi and blood function keep up? So, you should calm yourself down and take your time. This is a state of accumulating energy, so as to bring back qi and blood.
4. Pursuing stimulation also consumes qi and blood.
What is excitement? It is to ignite energy instantly and get yourself excited.
For example, people who like to eat spicy food, playing mahjong, playing games, speculating in stocks and drinking ice are all daily stimuli, which greatly overdraws the vitality of human stocks.
Staying up late is the main cause of consuming qi and blood.
Everyone has heard a lot about this, because yin dominates at night and yang dominates during the day.
Blood is yin, and blood should be supplemented at night. How can you not lose qi and blood without sleeping? It's tiring to take a bath when you're tired at night.
How to replenish qi and blood?
So how to replenish qi and blood? Reduce thinking, eat lightly and moderately, exercise moderately, and work and rest regularly. These four methods are the best, and they don't cost money.
But now people don't like to listen to these words, such as what new drugs have been developed and what new health care methods are available, which is also caused by the intelligence of everyone in the world.
This problem has existed since ancient times. At that time, Emperor Qianlong invited a centenarian to ask for advice on how to live a long life. That's what the birthday girl said.
Gan long was unhappy, saying that all these three-year-olds knew. The old man's answer is that an 80-year-old man may not be able to do it.
People should have qi and blood, in the final analysis, the spleen and stomach function is better.
How can we strengthen the spleen and stomach? Some people say that taking medicine to strengthen the spleen.
But if medicine can strengthen the spleen, it is too simple. Just take the medicine.
In fact, the best medicine for strengthening the spleen and stomach is exercise.
Spleen governs muscles, and only when muscles are consumed and lacking can the function of spleen and stomach be enhanced. This is the natural behavior of the human body, and the external force of drugs does not have that great effect.
Moderate exercise to be exact. Excessive exercise will be counterproductive, and sweating will consume qi and blood.
The best exercise state is to exercise until the body is hot and sweaty. Besides, it is better to exercise in the morning than in the afternoon. Because the human body passes through the yang meridian in the morning, it conforms to its hair growth; In the afternoon, take the yin meridian, be quiet, be quiet, and the yin blood will be stored.
Share an experience: I have traveled all over the country and found that the bigger the city, the more people are deficient in qi and blood; Often in small cities, remote mountainous areas and relatively closed places, there will be more people with good qi and blood function and good health.
The more developed the place is, the more complicated the people are and the more tired they live.
Children in the city have many snacks, and they can eat spicy food more than adults. There are iced drinks and iced watermelons at home at any time. Before they go to primary school, they have all kinds of education and training to mobilize their minds. So now there are many children with insufficient qi and blood.
How to make up for it?
People often ask me questions about supplements, such as what supplements should I take? How many vitamins should I take, protein? How to choose nutritional products?
Different people have different views on this issue, and experts also have different views. Here I want to explain it from another angle.
When people reach middle age, there are many diseases, such as liver disease, cardiovascular disease and tumor.
Common liver diseases: liver cirrhosis, fatty liver, liver stones, liver cysts and liver tumors; Common cardiovascular diseases: atrial fibrillation, embolism and obstruction, blood viscosity, hypertension and cerebral infarction; Tumors are even more varied.
Such diseases can be collectively referred to as eutrophication diseases, commonly known as rich diseases. The solution of prevention and assistance is simple: exercise more, be full, and be vegetarian.
Many friends will resist such suggestions at first. Because they have long formed the idea that if they want to be healthy, they must supplement their bodies with various nutrients and need to eat various supplements.
I was in poor health, so I finally added some nutrition. How can I be a vegetarian? Isn't that a waste of effort? In fact, this is not a waste of effort, but an early return.
Everyone should have found that living conditions are better now and chronic diseases are getting more and more serious. Why?
There is an old saying in the field of traditional Chinese medicine called "more than 30 years of illness", which means that many people get sick in the harvest year. This is worthy of reflection.
Some people took my advice and practiced the principle of eating less and exercising more. Cardiovascular diseases and liver diseases have been greatly improved, and they can be cured even without drugs. China's experience and wisdom for thousands of years also hold that only three parts hunger and three parts cold can make you healthy.
Practitioners generally live longer, such as monks and Taoists. Do they eat meat for tonic? On the contrary, they achieve it through vegetarianism, dieting and even breaking the grain, and their diet control far exceeds that of secular people.
There's a saying in Treatise on Febrile Diseases that "it's good to lose grain", which means that many diseases will be cured if you reduce your diet.
Ancient nobles, after a serious illness, had a light diet and did not take tonics. Because people's spleen and stomach are weak and their metabolic ability is relatively weak at this time, eating more food not only does not absorb, but aggravates the condition.
For example, in A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Baoyu's aftercare after illness is to eat porridge and side dishes for half a month, not tonic.
In the same way, so do the elderly. Their bodies are aging, their physiological functions are degraded, they consume less energy and need less nutrition, so they need a light diet and eat less.
It's called letting nature take its course. Blind tonic for patients and the elderly will cause many problems, especially in clinic.
Physiologically speaking, things that should not be there or superfluous things can cause diseases, and superfluous nutrition can naturally become the cause of diseases.
So there is a saying that illness is eaten.
Of course, if a person cannot eat normally for a long time, such as losing weight all the year round, or living in extreme poverty, such a person can eat something good to supplement it.
But such people are very few. As far as the present situation is concerned, most people are not suitable for tonic.
