Usually busy with work and school, you must stop being a "night owl" during the Spring Festival holiday, and the "blood debt" needs to be repaid!
The theory of yin and yang in traditional Chinese medicine believes that the day is yang, the night is yin, yang is active, and yin is quiet, that is, the day is the time for human beings to work, study, and carry out various activities, and the night is the time for full rest. People should conform to the laws of nature so that they can be healthy, otherwise the laws of nature will react on the human body.
Traditional Chinese medicine health care pays attention to sleeping "Zi Shi Jue", the so-called Zi Shi, that is, 23:00-01:00, at this time the human body's Yin Qi is the most vigorous, Yang Qi is weak, at this time rest can best nourish Yin, and can also help Yang Qi to grow, sleep effect and quality than other times have the effect of doing more with half the effort.
When the child is in charge, the gall is ordered, and the person falls asleep at this time, and the gall is generated, and the courage is strengthened, and the evil cannot invade. If you are bold, your body's immunity will be strong. And the liver and gallbladder are connected, sleep well, the bile is vigorous, the liver is not deficient, the liver and gallbladder can run smoothly, the qi and blood can circulate normally, and accordingly, people will become healthier and more beautiful. On the contrary, if you stay up late, the gallbladder will not get enough rest, which will consume yin and blood, and long-term yin and yang imbalance, qi and blood deficiency may make people sick, worse and worse, sub-health, and even various chronic diseases, cancer, etc. will follow.
In particular, I would like to remind everyone that staying up late hurts the liver. When the liver hides blood, when staying up late, the liver can't get a good rest, it will not have enough blood, insufficient liver yin, and it is easy to have hyperactivity of liver yang, which is also the reason why many people feel dizzy, buzzing ears, astringent eyes, and even increased blood pressure after staying up late. The liver and kidney are homologous, and if the liver is deficient, the kidney is deficient, so staying up late will also make the kidney essence deficiency, make people deficient, and affect health. In addition, staying up late also hurts the spleen and stomach and hurts the heart. When many people stay up late, they may have this feeling, their stomach is swollen, they feel hungry, they may be bloated, or they love to fart, or their chest is stuffy and painful...... These are the side effects of staying up late. Staying up all night has an impact on the internal organs, but the biggest damage is still hurting yin, qi and blood. Staying up late for a long time will lead to blood deficiency and yin deficiency, making it difficult for the human body to repay the "blood debt", which will then breed many health problems.
A few tips to relieve the discomfort of staying up late
Take a nap the next day after staying up late
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" records: "Take a big nap when you are a child, and take a nap at noon." This is the principle of falling asleep at meridian. The so-called noon refers to 11:00-13:00, during which the body's yang energy is the most abundant and the yin energy is weak. A nap in the middle of the day is good for nourishing the mind.
At noon, the heart meridian is in order, and the qi and blood are the most vigorous. If you take a nap at this time, you will be energized all afternoon. That is to say, if you stay up late and don't sleep well, then, in addition to catching up on sleep during the day, remember that you must take a nap. Long-term insistence on taking a break at noon to nourish the spirit, qi, blood, and tendons can make the qi and blood run smoothly and the complexion ruddy. Therefore, no matter whether you sleep well or not, insisting on taking a lunch break can play a role in regulating the problem of depletion of qi and blood caused by sleep, which is very beneficial to health.
