What to eat for fat people to replenish qi, thin people to replenish blood, and replenish qi and blood.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, obese people have excessive yang energy in their bodies, accompanied by heavy phlegm and dampness, slow movement, lack of exercise, and even exercise can easily lead to limb fatigue and increase the risk of arteriosclerosis, stroke, coronary heart disease and other diseases.
On the contrary, thin people are usually yin deficiency and fire, agile in activity, sometimes easily excited and impulsive, and prone to insomnia, mouth ulcers and other diseases.
Therefore, there is a saying: "The fat man is weak in people, and the thin man is deficient in blood." "Human fat and thinness are closely related to "dampness, phlegm, and deficiency". "Dampness, phlegm, and deficiency" cause excess water, dampness, and fat in the body to be unable to be excreted from the body, resulting in obesity. Obesity is mainly related to phlegm-dampness constitution, and thin people may also develop phlegm-dampness constitution if they do not pay attention. Thin people, especially the elderly, may tend to get angry once they develop phlegm and dampness, manifesting as symptoms such as swollen and sore gums, bad breath, and constipation. It should be noted that once the fire occurs, you should not take Chinese patent medicines such as Coptis Supernatant Pills and Bezoar Detoxification Tablets without permission, and it is best to consult a Chinese medicine practitioner for conditioning.
The outer side of the arms and legs is the part of the hands and feet that follow the Shaoyang meridians. Regular patting of the outside of the arms and legs can help remove waste from the body, promote the dredging of meridians, and effectively prevent discomfort caused by phlegm and dampness.
In addition, thin people are usually thin because of blood deficiency. One of the easiest ways to do this is to soak your feet. It is best to soak your feet between 5 and 7 p.m., as this is the active period of the kidney meridian. At this time, foot soaking can enhance the function of the kidneys, which can help the liver to better store blood, thereby alleviating qi and blood deficiency. It should be noted that the water temperature should not be too high when soaking the feet, because too high water temperature will cause blood to flow rapidly to the lower limbs, affecting the blood supply to the brain and other organs, and aggravating the symptoms of qi and blood loss. People who are too thin can also regularly eat black sesame seeds, red dates, pork liver, lotus root, carrots, longan meat, black beans, black fungus, black chicken and other foods, and drinking some brown sugar water also helps to alleviate the blood deficiency of thin people.
In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a saying that "blood is the mother of qi, and qi is the handsome of blood". Blood will not be able to reach where it should be without the impetus of qi, and qi will become an evil fire in the body without the support of blood. Therefore, fat people should pay attention to replenishing qi, and thin people should pay attention to replenishing blood. For people with phlegm-damp constitution, qi replenishment is especially important.
Experts suggest that although each person's body type and physical factors are different, through proper health regimen adjustments, the body's functions can be relatively balanced, thereby preventing the occurrence of diseases.
Fat people are prone to qi deficiency, so strengthening the spleen and invigorating qi is a way for fat people to replenish their capital. You can eat some foods that nourish qi and strengthen the spleen, such as winter melon, white radish, fungus, yam, etc. White radish contains spicy ingredients such as mustard oil, which help promote fat metabolism and prevent fat accumulation under the skin;Winter melon has relatively few nutrients, but it can excrete excess fat from the body and has a strong laxative effect. At the same time, fat people should also strengthen exercise.
Relatively speaking, thin people are mostly yin deficiency and fire, so they should take foods that nourish yin and dryness. Often choose some lily, honey, bitter gourd and other foods that have the effect of nourishing yin and reducing fire, avoid excessive consumption of spicy and spicy foods, such as chili, star anise, cinnamon, etc., and eat less fried, stir-fried and hot foods. Yin deficiency is often accompanied by internal heat, so thin people often manifest as irritability, dry mouth and sore throat, hypersexuality and other endogenous phenomena of deficiency and heat, so while nourishing, we should also pay attention to clearing the deficiency fire, and you can choose to eat clam wheat door dong soup, chrysanthemum porridge and other foods.
