Be sure to turn on the lights when playing with your mobile phone at night: the way to protect your eyes from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine.
In modern society, mobile phones have become an indispensable part of our lives. Whether it's socializing, entertainment, or accessing information, mobile phones play an important role. However, using your phone for a long time, especially at night, can easily cause damage to your eyes.
In TCM theory, the eyes are closely related to the internal organs, meridians, qi and blood, etc., so protecting the eyes is essential for maintaining overall health.
First of all, let's understand the harm to the eyes of playing with mobile phones at night. In dim environments, the blue light from the phone screen can cause eye irritation, and staring at the phone for long periods of time can lead to eye fatigue, dryness, and even vision loss. In addition, TCM believes that the night is a time when yin energy is strong and yang energy is constricted, and excessive use of electronic products at this time will deplete yang energy in the body and affect the health of the body.
So, how do you protect your eyes?TCM gives the following recommendations:
1.Be sure to leave the lights on when playing with your phone at night. This can reduce the irritation of the phone screen to the eyes and reduce the fatigue of the eyes. At the same time, turning on the lights to play with the phone can also improve the contrast of the screen and make it more comfortable for the eyes.
2.Take well-timed breaks. Staring at your phone screen for a long time can easily lead to eye strain, so it is recommended to take a break from your eyes every once in a while. You can relieve eye fatigue by closing your eyes and looking into the distance.
3.Diet. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver opens up to the eyes, and nourishing the liver is essential to protect the eyes. It is recommended to eat foods rich in vitamins A, C, E and omega-3 fatty acids, such as carrots, spinach, fish, etc., which can help protect eye health.
4.Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning.
For people who use mobile phones for a long time, TCM can prescribe Chinese medicine according to individual circumstances to regulate the body and protect the eyes.
5.Eye massage. By massaging the acupuncture points around the eyes, such as the temples, bamboo points, and eye points, it can relieve the fatigue of the eyes and promote blood circulation in the eyes.
