"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" said: "Yang Qi, if the sky and the sun, lose its place, then the longevity is not prominent", Yang Qi is the driving force of the body's material metabolism and physiological functions, is the human body's growth, development, aging and death of the determinants, Yang is strong and longevity, Yang is weak, Yang Qi is insufficient, and has a great impact on human health. Then many fans and friends may be curious, since yang energy is so important, how to judge whether you are not yang enough?
Don't worry, next, I will teach you some simple methods in daily life to determine whether you have enough yang energy?
1. Look at the stomach - the abdomen is swollen and the yang energy is insufficient
With the growth of age, the metabolism weakens, if you don't often pay attention to diet and keep exercising, people will have a little belly when they reach a certain age, which is normal, but if you lie down, the stomach is still obviously bulging, this is not normal (this does not include particularly obese people), indicating that there is something wrong with the body.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the abdomen is the place where the human body is yin and is prone to accumulate phlegm and dampness. When a person lies down, the abdomen is still swollen, indicating that the abdomen has phlegm and dampness, which will inevitably hurt the yang energy and affect people's physical health over time, often this situation is particularly easy to cause three highs, fatty liver, sleep breathing syndrome, etc., of course, if you are a relatively fat person, but after lying down, the abdomen is flat or slightly concave, which is normal.
2. Look at the eyes - the eye sockets are sunken and the yang energy is insufficient
Normal people's eye sockets are sunken, if your entire eye socket is protruding, a bit like a "dead fish eye", this is not normal, normal people, even if they are very fat, the eye socket will not protrude, at most fat accumulation around the eyes, because Chinese medicine believes that the eye socket is dominated by the spleen, called the meat wheel, which reflects our own spleen transport ability.
If our temper is weak, our ability to transport water and dampness will be insufficient, and a large amount of phlegm and dampness will accumulate in the body if it cannot be transported, and the reaction to the face will make the "meat chakra" part of the body puffy. Many people with poor spleen and kidney function will have this kind of condition.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that once the evil of phlegm and dampness gathers in the body, it will lead to the loss of yang qi and the inability to carry qi and water, which will eventually lead to an imbalance of yin and yang qi and blood, and a deficiency of yang qi.
Therefore, if you also have these two conditions, it means that the yang energy in the body is already insufficient, and you need to replenish the yang energy well.
How to replenish yang?
If the loss of yang qi is serious, often cold hands and feet, joint pain, confusion, depression, etc., it is necessary to carry out drug intervention.
If you only have a slight deficiency of yang energy, you can regulate it from daily life, do not stay up late, staying up late hurts the yang energy the most, and it is a good supplement to yang if you do not hurt yang; bask in the sun more, the sun is energetic, and basking in the sun more is conducive to the rise of yang energy; eat well, diet also has a great effect on our body to produce yang energy; exercise more, "kinetic energy rises to yang", exercise can dredge the meridians and promote the effect of qi and blood running.
Okay, that's all for today's sharing, don't blindly follow the trend of medication, let's see you next time.
