I'm here to send health
Tiredness is a precursor to illness. When the body signals that it is tired, it is actually warning us that we need to rest and adjust. However, modern people often ignore this signal and continue to stay up late and work hard, which eventually leads to the occurrence of diseases. So, don't let yourself stay up to the last step, let's learn about the three steps to getting sick, and how to prevent and deal with it.
Step 1: Tired.
Tiredness is the first signal sent by the body. When our body is in a state of high load for a long time, exceeding its capacity, the feeling of tiredness will occur. At this time, if we can't rest and adjust in time, the body will continue to deteriorate.
In TCM theory, tiredness is considered to be a sign of a lack of qi and blood. Qi and blood are the basic substances of the human body's vital activities, and the human body can only stay healthy when there is enough qi and blood. Long-term exertion will lead to the depletion of qi and blood, so that the body is in a sub-healthy state. The ancient book of traditional Chinese medicine "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" mentions: "Labor is exhaustion", which is the truth.
Step 2: Symptoms.
When the body continues to deteriorate, various symptoms will appear. These symptoms are distress signals from the body that we are sick. Common symptoms include: fever, cough, fatigue, loss of appetite, etc.
In TCM theory, symptoms are considered to be a manifestation of an invasion of the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that diseases are divided into cold, heat, and dampness, and they can invade the human body and cause various diseases. The ancient book of Chinese medicine "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" mentions: "When evil qi enters the body, it will be sick". Therefore, when we have symptoms, we should seek medical attention in time to avoid worsening of the condition.
Step 3: Disease.
When physical symptoms continue to worsen, it can develop into a disease. Illness is a manifestation of severe impairment of bodily functions, at which point we are already in the final step of getting sick. If not timely**, it can lead to life-threatening conditions.
In TCM theory, illness is considered to be the result of an imbalance of qi, blood, yin and yang. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that human health depends on the balance of qi, blood, yin and yang, and once it is out of balance, it will lead to various diseases. It is mentioned in the ancient book of traditional Chinese medicine "Jin Kui Yaolu": "Qi and blood are peaceful, and all diseases are not born". Therefore, maintaining the balance of qi, blood, yin and yang is the key to preventing disease.
How to prevent and respond.
1.Pay attention to rest: When we feel tired, we should rest in time to give the body a chance to recover. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that adequate sleep helps restore qi and blood and improve the body's resistance.
2.Adjust living habits: Maintaining good living habits, such as regular work and rest, balanced diet, moderate exercise, etc., can help maintain the balance of qi, blood, yin and yang, and prevent the occurrence of diseases.
3.Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning: Chinese medicine can help us adjust qi, blood, yin and yang, prevent and improve diseases through herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage and other methods.
4.Seek medical attention promptly: When we have symptoms, we should seek medical attention in time to avoid worsening of the condition. When TCM diagnoses diseases, it will formulate a personalized plan according to factors such as condition and constitution.
Summary. Tiredness is a precursor to illness, so don't let yourself survive to the last step. Understanding the three steps to getting sick, and how to prevent and respond to them, can help us stay healthy. At the same time, the theory and practice of traditional Chinese medicine provide us with a wealth of health care knowledge, which is worth learning and learning from.
