New Year's Day is healthy
Tobacco is known as the "first of a hundred poisons", and its harm to the human body has been widely recognized. However, quitting smoking is an extremely difficult thing for many people. To reduce the damage to the body, we can try to avoid smoking during certain periods. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, tobacco inhalation is closely related to the physiological mechanism of the human body, so we need to pay more attention to health preservation and disease prevention.
1.Hour of Dawn.
Dawn is the time of the day when the yang energy is first born, when the body's yang energy is at its fullest, and inhaling tobacco at this time will harm the lung function even more. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the main qi of the lungs, the yang qi of the lungs reaches its peak in the morning, and smoking will cause damage to the lung qi, which is prone to various respiratory diseases, such as coughing, wheezing, etc. Therefore, do not smoke at dawn and give your lungs a good time to rest and recover, which is essential to protect the health of your respiratory system.
2.One hour after eating.
The hour after a meal is the busiest time for the body's digestive tract, when the stomach and intestines need to be fully functional to digest food. Smoking causes the harmful substances in tobacco to directly enter the gastrointestinal tract, aggravate gastric acid secretion, and seriously affect digestive function. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, smoking will cause gastrointestinal peristalsis to slow down, and it is easy to have problems such as stomach bloating and indigestion. Therefore, avoiding smoking one hour after meals and ensuring the normal functioning of the digestive tract is the key to health.
3.Bedtime moments.
Bedtime is a time for the body to rest and recover, when the body and mind need to be fully relaxed. Smoking stimulates the nervous system, causing the body to get excited and interfere with falling asleep. In addition, nicotine in tobacco is also an irritating substance that can easily lead to insomnia. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sleep is an important part of adjusting the balance of yin and yang in the human body, and maintaining good sleep is essential for good health. Therefore, try to avoid smoking at all times before going to bed and give yourself a good sleeping environment, which will help you feel peaceful and balanced.
Quitting smoking is important for health, but we also need to understand that quitting smoking is not something that can be achieved overnight, and requires patience and perseverance. In the process of quitting smoking, avoiding the above three time periods of smoking can help reduce the damage to the body. In addition, we can also use some traditional Chinese medicine to help quit smoking, such as moxibustion, traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, etc., which is conducive to alleviating the uncomfortable symptoms of quitting smoking and promoting the body's **.
