Heavy snow is approaching, the weather is getting colder and colder, and this period is also a time when myocardial infarction and other diseases are common. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the root cause of many heart diseases is in the spleen and stomach, especially in the cold winter, if you want to nourish the heart and protect the heart, you must take care of the spleen and stomach.
Why do heart attacks occur frequently during heavy snowfall?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the heart is the fire and dirt, and it is the yang of the yang. During the heavy snowfall season, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the yin qi in nature is extremely strong, and people who have a bad heart are more likely to have a lack of heart yang at this time, resulting in an increased risk of myocardial infarction.
In winter, when stimulated by the cold, the blood vessels of the human body will be in a state of contraction;At the same time, the blood will clot when it is cold, and the low temperature will slow down the blood flow, and even blood stasis and coagulation will occur, which will increase the risk of myocardial infarction.
In order to keep out the cold, people often consume more high-calorie foods, such as meat, sweets, etc., and long-term consumption of fatty, sweet and greasy foods can easily lead to dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach, and increase the risk of myocardial infarction.
Why can nourishing the spleen and stomach prevent myocardial infarction?
The heart beats by Zongqi, and there are two types of Zongqi, the most important one is the Shuigu Qi generated by the essence of the water valley transported by the spleen and stomach, and the other is the clear Qi inhaled by the lungs from nature, and the two are combined to generate Zongqi.
If the spleen and stomach are good and the Zongqi is vigorous, even if the heart and yang are slightly suppressed in winter, the vigorous Zongqi can warm the heart and yang, break away the blockage, and promote blood flow. On the contrary, if the spleen and stomach are not good and the qi is weak, the heart is prone to problems. The spleen and stomach are like the logistics officer of the heart, so it is very important to prevent myocardial infarction in winter and take care of the spleen and stomach.
These problems in the spleen and stomach can hurt the "heart".
Symptoms: obesity, heavy limbs, lack of energy, sticky mouth, dry mouth, bad breath, bitter mouth, yellow and greasy tongue, ** prone to acne, pustules, sticky stool, incomplete bowel movements, yellow urine.
The above symptoms often indicate dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach. This kind of people mostly prefer fatty, sweet, thick and greasy food, and the body is prone to phlegm and dampness, and phlegm and dampness accumulate in the chest, hindering the heart and yang, and the qi is not smooth, which can easily lead to heart and pulse paralysis.
Symptoms: Lack of appetite, abdominal distention, dry and smelly food, and unpleasant stool.
The presence of these symptoms usually indicates a stagnant diet. When the weather is cold, many people are reluctant to move, and eating and drinking are easy to stagnate in the stomach, and the lack of food will block the qi, causing the blood to run slowly, which in turn will cause heart problems.
Symptoms: fatigue, chills, cold limbs, clear and long urine, loose stools, diarrhea when eating raw and cold, pale tongue and thick greasy.
The above symptoms often indicate that the spleen and stomach are weak and cold. If the spleen and stomach are deficient and cold for a long time, it is easy to cause a lack of qi and blood and affect the normal blood supply to the heart.
