Qi and blood deficiency refers to the lack of qi and blood in the human body, which is unable to maintain normal physiological functions.
Qi and blood are the basic concepts in TCM theory, Qi is the driving force of the human body's vital activities, and blood is an important substance that nourishes the human body.
Many of the ways that cause this kind of thing are due to factors such as uncontrolled diet, overwork, and long-term illness that lead to a lack of qi and blood. For example, irregular dieting, excessive dieting, or overeating may damage the spleen and stomach, affecting the production and transportation of qi and blood. Overexertion may deplete qi and blood, resulting in a lack of qi and blood. Long-term illness will also consume the qi and blood in the body, making the symptoms of qi and blood deficiency more obvious.
The manifestations of qi and blood deficiency are varied, and common symptoms include pale or yellowish complexion, fatigue, shortness of breath, lazy speech, dizziness, palpitations, insomnia, pale tongue, and weak pulse. These symptoms reflect the inability of qi and blood to adequately nourish various parts of the body, resulting in a decline in body function.
When the temperature rises in the beginning of spring, the body's qi and blood will also fluctuate.
Eat less of these foods within 30 years of the beginning of spring, so as not to aggravate the loss of qi and blood.
1. Cold food: including bitter gourd, tofu, soybeans and other cold foods, as well as chilled fruits and cold drinks. These foods can easily damage the spleen and stomach, resulting in insufficient biochemistry of qi and blood. The spleen and stomach are the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and if the function of the spleen and stomach is impaired, it will affect the production and transportation of qi and blood. In addition, cold foods may also lead to a lack of yang energy in the body, further aggravating the symptoms of qi and blood loss.
Spicy foods: such as chili, pepper, mustard, etc. These foods tend to irritate the gastrointestinal tract and affect the body's absorption and utilization of nutrients. Long-term consumption of spicy food may also damage the spleen and stomach, resulting in insufficient qi and blood biochemistry.
Greasy foods: such as fried chicken, fatty meat, fried dough sticks, etc. These foods tend to lead to elevated blood lipids, which affects blood circulation and metabolism. Long-term consumption of greasy food may also damage the spleen and stomach, resulting in insufficient qi and blood biochemistry. In addition, greasy food may also aggravate phlegm and dampness symptoms, further affecting the normal operation of qi and blood.
Raw and cold foods: such as sashimi, sashimi, etc. These foods can easily damage the yang qi of the spleen and stomach, resulting in insufficient biochemistry of qi and blood. At the same time, raw and cold food may also contain bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, which can easily cause infections and other diseases when eaten improperly, which further affects the health of qi and blood.
To sum up, in order to maintain the abundance and health of qi and blood, it is recommended to eat less cold, spicy, greasy, and raw and cold foods. At the same time, maintain a balanced and diversified diet, and appropriately consume nutritious foods, such as lean meat, fish, jujubes, longan, etc. In addition, maintaining a good routine and exercise habits can also help promote the production and transportation of qi and blood.
