Chinese health care These things you do quietly late at night turn out to hurt your body so much?
As we all know, TCM health preservation is a long-standing health concept that advocates maintaining good health by adjusting lifestyle such as diet, work and rest, and mood. However, some habits in modern life, especially late-night behaviors, may not conform to the principles of TCM health preservation, and may even cause harm to the body.
1. Eat late at night.
Many people choose to eat some late-night snacks to satisfy their appetites after working overtime, watching dramas or partying at night. However, according to TCM theory, eating at night will increase the burden on the spleen and stomach and affect the digestive function. In addition, the night is a critical time for the repair and detoxification of various organs of the body, and excessive eating can interfere with normal physiological functions, which can easily lead to health problems in the long term.
2. Stay up late for work or play.
Staying up late has become a norm for modern people. Staying up late for a long time will not only break the normal biological clock of the human body, lead to endocrine disorders and decreased immunity, but also deplete the essence and energy in the body, posing a potential threat to physical health. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Zishi (11 p.m. to 1 a.m.) is the time when the gallbladder meridian is in season, and at this time, one should enter a state of deep sleep to facilitate the growth of bile qi.
If you are still working or playing at this time, it will affect the normal growth of bile qi, and it is easy to form gallstones and other health problems in the long term.
3. Excessive use of electronic products.
When using electronic products such as mobile phones and tablets at night, the blue light emitted by the screen has an effect on the human body and interferes with sleep quality. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that good sleep is one of the important factors in maintaining good health. Long-term lack of sleep or poor quality can easily lead to physical exhaustion, emotional instability, and weakened immunity.
4. Mood swings.
Mood swings at night, such as anxiety, depression and other negative emotions, will not only affect the quality of sleep, but also lead to poor qi and blood, and dysfunction of internal organs. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that emotional factors are closely related to physical health. Maintaining a good state of mind and emotional stability is conducive to physical health and disease prevention.
To sum up, in order to maintain good health, we should follow the principles of TCM health preservation and avoid overeating late at night, staying up late at work or play, excessive use of electronic products, and emotions.
