Hello! Today's article wants to talk to you about the three high people, how to maintain health in summer? 】
Summer is a season of heat in the outside, yang in the inside, the evil atmosphere is very large, the most difficult to maintain health.
Because the summer heat is too heavy, sweating takes away the jin fluid in the body, produces qi and yin deficiency, the blood runs slowly, easy to become viscous, and it is easy to cause a series of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
In summer, it is very unfriendly to the "three highs" crowd.
"Three Highs" from the Perspective of Chinese Medicine
"Three highs", generally considered to be hypertension, high blood lipids, high blood sugar three major types of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but also by the people called "rich and noble diseases".
Strong concealment, great harm, can lead to stroke, cerebral infarction, diabetes and other diseases, the need for early detection and early treatment.
Qi Mingming, attending physician of Dongjitang Chinese Medicine Hall, said that there is no "three highs" in Chinese medicine.
The "three highs" are actually a symptom of the real and the virtual, and are closely related to the relationship between the human heart, liver, spleen, kidney and other organs.
Professor Guo uses the theory of easy theory to explain the "three highs" in this way:
Chinese medicine theory holds that the heart belongs to fire and is yang; The kidneys are watery and yin. The heart and kidneys are interdependent and mutually restrictive.
Once their relationship is destroyed, the heart fire can not warm the kidney water, the yang does not suppress the yin, or the kidney water can not help the heart fire, will form high blood pressure.
Hyperlipidemia is due to the dysfunction of the human liver, spleen and kidneys, poor qi and blood, and non-normalization of jin fluid, resulting in accumulation of turbid sputum, obstruction of the veins, and the emergence of high blood lipids.
And high blood sugar is mainly related to the spleen, which belongs to the soil. The "Su Qian Yu Ji True Dirty Theory" says: "The spleen is a lonely dirty, and the central soil is irrigated with four sides." "It has the function of metamorphosis of all things.
After people eat grains, the spleen does not hide the sugar, resulting in it not being able to be poured into the organs, "drifting" in the blood, causing high blood sugar.
If Western medicine heals "people's diseases", then Chinese medicine is the treatment of "sick people". TCM focuses on people, and people are the whole, a unified and dialectical system.
The "three highs" are younger, are you afraid?
According to the survey report on the nutrition and health status of Chinese residents, the "three highs" are tending to be universal, and in terms of age, they are moving towards a trend of rejuvenation.
All this shows that the "three highs" are no longer exclusive to the elderly, but are gradually spreading among young people.
What factors lead to the "three highs" of young people?
Irregular work and rest
Young people who don't stay up late have no soul.
Staying up late is a topic that contemporary young people cannot do without. Staying up late for a long time will lead to low sleep quality, increased blood sugar, and increase the incidence of myocardial infarction and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Improper diet
The disease comes from the mouth, and poor eating habits are one of the most direct factors leading to the "three highs".
Many office workers often fail to eat regularly. Breakfast is not eaten, and three meals are not on time. In addition, many young people like to eat spicy and heavy oil and salt barbecue foods.
In the process of receiving treatment, Professor Guo found that many patients with obese posture, high blood pressure and severe fatty liver disease.
Most of these patients prefer high-calorie foods, often feel breathless, waist and knee pain.
Under the doctor's advice, by "adjusting" instead of "descending" and exercising baduanjin, the patient's body gradually returned to normal.
Chinese medicine theory believes that the liver and kidney are homologous, the liver belongs to wood, the kidney belongs to water, and the wood is nourished by water, so the kidney is the mother of the liver, and the liver needs to replenish the kidney and water.
Lack of exercise
Under the fast-paced modern life, people who sit in air-conditioned rooms for a long time lack the necessary physical exercise.
Long-term inactivity weakens the body's metabolism, and the garbage generated in the human body is difficult to discharge in time. Over time, various chronic diseases will come to the door, and the "three highs" are one of them.
When the summer evil is ordered, it is advisable to nourish the heart
"Summer is fire, sexual heat, synthymous, and the Lord grows."
In the five elements, the heart belongs to fire, and the fiery evil is most likely to damage the heart and lungs, causing insomnia and heart rhythm disorders and other diseases.
Chinese medicine believes that "sweat is the liquid of the heart", sweat loss is too much, damage to the heart, trigger the heart yin deficiency, so the hot summer is the most suitable for nourishing the heart.
At this time, it is suitable to eat some heat-relieving foods, and you can also take spicy, cold, and anti-heat Chinese medicine.
Food-wise, fruit is the most readily available.
In Chinese medicine, fruits can be divided into three categories: cold, warm, and sweet.
Most of the fruits in summer are cold, and different fruits are suitable for people with different physiques.
In general, warm fruits such as cinnamon balls, apricots, pineapples, and grapes can be eaten more.
In traditional Chinese medicine, forsythia, honeysuckle, mint, chrysanthemum, kudzu, barley, etc., can dissipate the heat of the summer.
The easiest way is to put dates, tangerine peel, barley, kudzu, gardenia, chrysanthemums, etc. together, brew in boiling water, and drink in moderation.
In the hot weather, Professor Guo reminded the "three high" patients to pay attention to the "hot stroke".
"Hot stroke" is more common in the "three high" people, a large amount of body fluids are lost in summer, the blood becomes thicker, the blood circulation is slowed down, and it is easy to block the cerebral blood vessels and cause stroke.
In addition to eating some heat-relieving foods in moderation and taking some traditional Chinese medicines.
In daily life, we must also pay attention to controlling the intake of salt, oil, fat, etc., and need to carry out related physical exercise, do not stay up late, ensure sleep, quit smoking and alcohol.
