Yang Qi is a statement in traditional Chinese medicine theory, but Yang Qi is invisible and intangible. If we follow the popular saying, Yang Qi is like the sun, which can play a role in "warming" on our human body. When the human body has sufficient yang energy, it will look energetic and full of vitality, and will be quick and energetic when doing things. If the yang energy in the body is insufficient, the human body will slowly collapse and health will be seriously affected.
This means that yang energy is the foundation of our life. Whether it is work, exercise or emotions, these life activities require enough yang energy in the body. At the same time, yang energy can also regulate the balance between the body and help resist and eliminate disease evils.
So, what are the symptoms of people with insufficient yang energy in the body?
◎The appetite is lost
A person’s body lacks yang energy. Over time, the function of the spleen and stomach transportation and transformation will begin to decline, the digestive ability will weaken, the appetite will become worse, and it is easy to experience loss of appetite.
◎It is easy to catch a cold
People have insufficient yang energy, and their resistance will begin to decline in a relatively short period of time. If their immunity is affected, they are prone to catch a cold. Therefore, the reason why people catch colds is not necessarily caused by viruses, but also due to insufficient yang energy.
◎ Cold hands and feet
The disease has been said that the yang energy in the body is like the sun. When it is cloudy, people cannot feel the sunlight, so the body will become cold, but after the sun comes out, the body will feel warm and baked. This is the reason for Yang Qi. A person's body has sufficient Yang Qi, and even if he wears less, he will not feel cold. When the Yang Qi is insufficient, his hands and feet will be cold even in the hot summer.
◎Stomach cold
People with insufficient yang energy will have a little chill in their stomach. If you eat some cold foods frequently, it may cause abdominal pain and diarrhea, which in turn will consume the yang energy in the body.
Now it is late autumn, and winter is coming soon. Nature will be in a state of "yin is strong and yang is weak" in such a season, and people are no exception. Therefore, in such a season, people's health focus should be "solidifying yang and treating cold". Only by finding ways to help the body's yang energy can we help the body eliminate cold and expel evil and enhance the body's resistance. Perhaps we can get less sick in winter.
So, how to warm and replenish yang energy in autumn and winter? The following 4 "Great Methods for Protecting Yang" can be tried:
1. Appropriate food supplement
0 Traditional Chinese medicine believes that some daily foods can help improve the body's yang energy. For example, spinach, leeks, bean sprouts, onions, etc. among vegetables can not only help replenish liver blood, nourish kidney qi, and relieve liver qi. There are also some warm meats, such as lamb, dog meat, etc.
2. Bathing more sun
Yang energy is as warm and gentle as the sun. When the body's yang energy is insufficient, frequent sun exposure can promote calcium absorption and synthesis, and can also improve the body's immunity. If you can burn your back more, it will have a greater effect on enhancing yang energy.
Because our back is the part where the Du meridian passes through, the Du meridian is responsible for the yang energy of the body. By sunburning the back, it can stimulate the Du meridian and effectively enhance the yang energy of the body.
However, you should pay special attention to the sun to avoid hot weather and not look directly at the sun. The sun is sunbathing for about 20 minutes every day. Remember to drink two cups of warm water after basking in the sun.
3. More foot soaking
Everyone knows that the foot and kidney meridian starts from the soles of the feet. At the same time, there are multiple reflex areas of the internal organs in the soles of the feet. When soaking your feet, hot water will stimulate these reflex areas, which can not only regulate the functions of the internal organs, but also nourish the kidney and enhance yang energy.
When soaking your feet, keep the water temperature at around 42 degrees, soak for about 15 minutes each time.
4. Exercise regularly
If you want to improve your body's yang energy, you can participate in sports frequently. Appropriate exercise can promote blood circulation and improve metabolism. Through regular exercise, the functions of various tissues and organs of the body can be enhanced and effectively improve the deficiency of yang energy.
Especially in autumn and winter, you must persist in exercise. The exercise time should be about 40 minutes every day, and exercise for about 5 days a week. If you persist for a long time, your body will be more yang energy and your physical fitness will be better.
