Chapter 27 (26)

Spring nourishes the liver, summer nourishes the heart, autumn nourishes the lungs, and winter nourishes the kidneys. Different seasons in spring, summer, autumn and winter should focus on maintaining different organs.The mind is scattered, so in summer, you should bask in the sun. Don't be afraid of heat, sun, or sweating.Summer is the season when you should spread out and sweat. So let's see which foods are good for the heart, shall we?My heart likes red, such as "red bean".Red bean is not only a delicious food, but also a wonderful medicine for doctors to treat diseases.There are also nuts: almonds, peanuts, etc., soybeans, corn, spinach, celery, etc. are also good for the heart.What kind of exercise can nourish the heart?What's the best way to exercise for your heart?That is, when you get up in the morning, you must rub your hands more often, because there is Laogong point in the palm of your hand.In addition, if the heart is not good, along the "heart meridian" of the left and right upper arms, you will find pain points; you need to squeeze more on the pain points to dredge the heart meridian!The heart is on the left, with the left as the main and the right as the auxiliary.For example, pinch for ten minutes a day, seven minutes for the left side, and three minutes for the right side.Gradually, the pain disappeared, and the heart problem also eased.

Chapter Four: Soil Chapter (Spleen) Overthinking hurts the spleen.Zhuge Liang, who was well known during the Three Kingdoms period, died of disharmony between his spleen and stomach because of overwork. The spleen corresponds to earth, which is mainly yellow.The best food to nourish the spleen in the diet is soybeans.Soy milk and tofu are ideal foods for invigorating the spleen.Among the five flavors, the spleen governs sweetness, but it should be noted that too sweet will damage the spleen.According to the meridian flow, the spleen meridian and stomach meridian work in the morning, which reminds us that we must pay attention to breakfast!

People have to eat every day and absorb nutrients every day, so that life can continue.Therefore, we must pay attention to maintaining the spleen and stomach throughout the year. The spleen is the foundation of the acquired constitution This article begins with "Soil Pian"---spleen.In Chinese medicine, soil corresponds to the five internal organs of the human body is the "spleen".In nature, "soil" is the center, so in Chinese medicine, "spleen" is positioned in the middle burner.Both the spleen and the stomach are in the middle burner, so there is a saying in traditional Chinese medicine, "the spleen and stomach are not in harmony with the source of all diseases".That is to say, "food is the paramount necessity of the people", no matter whether the food is good or bad, we have to rely on our spleen and stomach to digest and absorb it.If our spleen and stomach are out of harmony, no matter how good the food is, it will be of no use if we cannot digest it well.People rely on food to survive, and food is transported and transformed by the spleen and stomach, so the spleen is called "the foundation of acquired days" in Chinese medicine.That is to say, we rely on the spleen the day after tomorrow, so that food can be fully digested and absorbed, so that our body has enough qi and blood.

In terms of seasons, the spleen is long summer, which is a humid season, so the spleen likes to be wet. The emotion corresponding to the spleen is thinking, and too much thinking can easily damage the spleen.In today's terms, it means that the pressure is too great, and the spleen and stomach can't get better.So you can see that many young people nowadays are young and strong, but they eat a little when they eat, and they have no appetite at all; this is the spleen that was injured by thinking too much just mentioned.Zhuge Liang, who is well-known in the Three Kingdoms, died of disharmony between his spleen and stomach because of overwork...

In the diet, the spleen governs yellow.Because the earth is yellow, and the spleen corresponds to the earth.What is yellow in the diet?It is soybeans. As everyone knows more about nutrition, it is known that soybeans are one of the most nutrient-dense foods.As I said earlier, China has a very good eating habit, which is to drink soy milk every morning.In addition, Chinese people also like to eat tofu. The common people have a good saying, "Tofu and cabbage keep you safe". It is found in modern nutrition that the second most important substance that the human body needs is protein.There are two types of protein, one is animal protein and the other is vegetable protein.The best vegetable protein is beans, and the best thing in beans is "soybean".The protein content in soybeans is very rich, so Chinese medicine has advocated eating tofu frequently for thousands of years. Tofu has the effect of invigorating the spleen and helping digestion.

Among the five flavors, the spleen governs sweetness. "Sweet into the spleen" refers to sweet foods that have the effects of nourishing qi and blood, replenishing calories, relieving fatigue, and detoxifying. How to protect the spleen in the morning?We Chinese have a very good breakfast habit of "put some sugar when drinking soy milk", because the spleen has the most vigorous metabolism from 9:00 to 11:00, and if you wake up in the morning, if you have good nutrition, you will be full of energy throughout the day and will not be tired easily. But now people eat more and more sweet foods. Although sweetness nourishes the spleen, too sweet will hurt the spleen!You may have such an experience that eating too much sweets will especially affect your appetite, and this is the reason.After it is too sweet, the spleen and stomach will not be well transported, and if the transport is not good, blood sugar will rise, and diabetes will come.

Common people have a misconception that eating too much sugar leads to diabetes. This cannot be said to be "right" or "wrong".what reason?Because the sweetness is too much, the spleen is injured; the spleen and stomach are not well transported, and the digestion and absorption are not good, which is reflected in the index of sugar... Why does it matter?After all, the blood sugar index is high.Why do you say it doesn't matter?Because the spleen is not good, the digestion and absorption are not good, the blood sugar index will go up, and it is not so directly related. In the rules of eating, it should be a combination of thickness and fineness, that is to say, we should always eat some whole grains.Now many diabetics are controlling their staple food, but they are hungry every day. Originally, the blood sugar is poorly absorbed and decomposed, and the sugar content is prone to problems; if you control the staple food, the blood sugar index may drop, but what about your body?Isn't it all ruined?So many people now find that diabetics eventually die of starvation or malnutrition.In the future, regardless of whether people with diabetes or healthy people, they should eat more coarse grains and less fine grains!In this way, the blood sugar index will not go up, and we can still eat and be full.

On the trunk, where is the disease of the spleen reflected?Spleen problems are mainly reflected in the "limbs" and "flesh".In terms of facial features, spleen problems are reflected in the "mouth". For example, hand, foot and mouth disease, I wonder if everyone knows about this disease?This disease has a very obvious feature, the highest incidence of children under the age of five, one of the main symptoms is blisters in the limbs and mouth.Western medicine thinks it is an infectious disease, while Chinese medicine thinks it is not an infectious disease, but the patient's spleen is not good.Why are most of the patients concentrated in children under the age of five?Because the spleen is the weakest in children under the age of five, it is easy to get this disease.

The spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow, and the spleen is cultivated.If the spleen and stomach are not good, it will go to two extremes, either extremely fat or extremely thin... The reason is that our diet has undergone earth-shaking changes, which violates the traditional Chinese dietary principles and does not eat staple foods. The spleen corresponds to the "dragon" in the meridian flow. When is the spleen working and metabolizing the most vigorously?That is from 9:00 am to 11:00 am.Why is the attribute of the spleen designated as a dragon?Do you know how the dragon walks?Walking with peristalsis, whether the spleen and stomach are good or bad, does it also rely on peristalsis?If the stomach does not move, the stomach disease will come out.Do we people with stomach problems take a medicine that claims to increase gastric motility?Why is the stomach bad?There is a good saying: "The source of all diseases is Qi first", the reason is that the spleen and stomach are not in harmony, the Qi cannot enter the stomach, and the stomach does not move.

As I said just now, the stomach works after getting up in the morning, so it reminds us that we must eat early.Now medical science has proved that people who do not eat breakfast are prone to gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and gallstones.Therefore, people with a discordant spleen and stomach feel the most uncomfortable when they wake up in the morning.As I said just now, "disharmony between the spleen and the stomach is the root of all diseases", the spleen produces qi, and people live with one breath!If the spleen fails, the qi will disappear and the person will leave. After so many years of clinical research on patients, let’s analyze it specifically. There are mainly several diseases related to poor spleen: the first is emaciation and obesity, and the second is digestive system diseases. For example, Western medicine is called enteritis and Chronic enteritis.Eczema and psoriasis are diseases caused by the spleen.
