Now that I think about it, the pace of life and work today can be said to be getting faster and faster, and with the acceleration of the two, there is also the time for us to eat and take care of the spleen and stomach, and now that spring is more than halfway through, the thinning nature of spring has also begun to slowly affect the rise of our spleen and stomach, therefore, every spring, this group of people will usher in a "spring spleen and stomach problem period." ”
As for how important the health of the spleen and stomach is, I believe everyone can also experience it in their daily life, such as some people with poor spleen and stomach, this one can't eat, that one eats diarrhea, so the complexion will look very bad, and even if you eat, these foods into the stomach are difficult to be digested by the body, so the blood and gas inside the body will be relatively poor, so after a long time, this problem is not only limited to the spleen and stomach.
And if you really want to take care of this spleen and stomach, but you still have to work hard, and if you have the following four problems, then you have to be vigilant, and then tell yourself that it's time to start paying attention to the health of the spleen and stomach:
The appetite decreases, the taste buds are significantly reduced, and they begin to like heavy oil and spicy food.
Excretion problems, yellow urine and wet stools, every time it is convenient and troublesome.
* Deterioration, dry lips and skin, scaling on the face, and unsightly blood in the mirror.
Gradual obesity, swelling of limbs, difficulty in exercising, listlessness and tiredness.
Regarding the spleen, the ancients believed through analysis that the spleen is the "acquired foundation, the source of blood and qi biochemistry" of the human body. It means that after people are born (before birth, they are supported by the mother), the spleen and stomach have become the foundation that supports the operation of the human body, so the spleen and stomach have naturally become the source of blood and qi production in the body
The first category: the main movement of spleen energy
The ancients often said: "The spleen is the main transport", and the transport here refers to the transportation and transportation, and the transformation is: absorption and digestion. The meaning of spleen main movement refers to the ability of the spleen to convert food and drink into nutrients needed by the human body, and to absorb and deliver these useful nutrients to the human body.
Specifically, the work of transporting water can be roughly divided into two categories: transporting water valleys and transporting water liquids. Among them, Yunhua water valley refers to the digestion and absorption of food and drink by the spleen, and the transfer and distribution of nutrients. After the initial digestion of the stomach, the essence of the food is absorbed by the eyelids, and is transfused to the heart and lungs through the spleen to disperse sperm, and spread throughout the body to nourish other organs and all parts of the body.
The transport of water liquid, also known as "transport of water and dampness", refers to the function of the spleen to transport water and dampness, promote the circulation and excretion of water and liquid, and maintain the balance of water metabolism in the body.
The ancients believed that after the water and dampness entered the human body, it would be initially digested by the spleen and stomach, and then transported by the spleen to the whole body. Some of the turbid and bad water is leaked into sweat, and the other part is converted into urine by the kidneys and excreted from the body.
The second category: the spleen can nourish the kidneys and semen
Speaking of kidney essence, the ancients believed that this kidney essence is mainly divided into innate essence and acquired essence, whether this innate essence is good mainly depends on the physical fitness of the parents, and this acquired essence is mainly in the efficiency of their own spleen and stomach.
The ancients believed that the two organs of the kidney and spleen can complement each other and need to be interdependent, and the essence in the kidney is extremely dependent on the nutrients produced by the spleen. Such a statement.
The third category: the spleen can transport and generate blood and gas
Regarding the source of qi and blood biochemistry, according to the theory of the ancients, the spleen is the foundation of nurture, the source of qi and blood biochemistry. The meaning of the source of qi and blood biochemistry refers to the fact that the body's qi and blood are all in the spleen's subtle transport, digestion and absorption of water valleys, and the production of the body's qi and blood requires the spleen to provide raw materials. Therefore, whenever the spleen and stomach are weak, the diet is reduced, which will cause the biochemical source of qi and blood to be sourceless, and the situation of qi and blood deficiency will occur.
First: Eat sweet and sour
Generally speaking, our spleen likes sweet and sour, but even though the ancients believed that sweetness can nourish people's spleen, this sweet taste, once too much intake, will make the spleen trapped by phlegm, dampness and internal heat. One of the most obvious sensations is that the limbs feel heavy and greasy.
For example, there is a similar case in "Su Wen: Treatise on Strange Diseases": "The emperor said: What is the name of the disease if there is a person who is sick and sweet? Why? Qi Bo said: The overflow of these five qi is also called the spleen and ......This fat is also hairy. This man shall eat sweet and fat, and the fat will make the inward hot, and the sweet will fill the full.
In addition, it was also mentioned in "Su Wen": "The taste is too sour, the liver is full of energy, and the temper is absolute." This means that an excessive amount of sourness can make the liver qi abnormally vigorous.
Since the liver belongs to wood and the spleen belongs to soil, wood restrains soil in the Five Elements Theory, which affects the spleen and causes the spleen to be relatively insufficient. Therefore, in the face of the coming spring and summer, remember not to be greedy for raw and cold melons and fruits and fatty foods.
Second: Lying and sitting for a long time
If you are accustomed to sitting a lot when you go to work and lying down a lot when you come home from work, then you will not be able to spread your yang energy to all parts of your body. In this way, first of all, it will make you feel weak and lack of energy, and secondly, it will affect the function of the spleen.
As "Yiyuan" said: "The spleen has a point of yang, which can eliminate a point of water valley; The spleen has 10 percent of the yang, and it can eliminate 10 percent of the water valley. Therefore, if the spleen yang cannot be effectively raised, then what you eat and supplement will not be processed and transformed by the digestive tract in time, and will be quietly rotted in the body into accumulated food, phlegm and dampness and other wastes, which in turn will affect the transportation function of the spleen. In this way, no matter how much you raise it, it will only add to your bloat.
Spleen cultivation is a slow process, and this process is when you pay for all kinds of bad habits in the past. There are countless ready-made methods, but there are deviations in principle, and no amount of effort can only stop the boiling. I hope that all students will keep a clear mind in this matter, recognize their actual situation, and take the most correct and suitable countermeasures.
Do: Baduanjin, teach you to regulate the spleen and stomach with a single move
There are a total of eight movements in the traditional Baduanjin, which can maintain different organs and parts of the human body, and the main thing to teach you here is the third form in the Baduanjin: regulating the spleen and stomach needs to be lifted alone, and the steps are as follows:
Step 1: The palm of the left hand is facing up, the palm of the right palm is facing down, and the fingertips of the two palms are facing each other. Then, slowly lift your left palm, flip your palm in front of you, so that your thumb is facing outward, and continue to lift it up, holding it on the top left of your head. At the same time, press down on your hips with your right palm, fingertips forward, pause for 1 2 seconds, and slowly straighten your knees as your hands are apart.
Step 2: The left hand is naturally lowered, falling in front of the meridian, palm facing down, right palm** to the abdomen. With both hands**, slowly bend your knees and return to the preparatory position. Change directions and do it again, get up, press up and down, pause slightly, and drop your hand**.
Supplement: Inhale when the hands are apart, hold the breath for 1 2 seconds when the upper support reaches the highest point, and then exhale and inhale when the hands ** - hold the breath for 1 2 seconds - exhale.
Other essentials: pay attention to the arms on time, put the palms flat, stretch the pull, lengthen the waist and spine, relax the shoulders, force at the base of the palm, and slightly flex the elbow joint.
Eat: Eight treasures, use the yam to transport the spleen
Regarding the food prescription for nourishing the spleen, for example, Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" said: "(Nourishing the spleen) yam is the best effect only with yams." "But although the yam is good, before you want to buy it and eat it, you have to distinguish the grade, mainly because there are two grades of iron stick yam on the market today, ordinary sand yam and excellent yam, so how to distinguish, in fact, according to the appearance of the right pick, the appearance here refers to, the uglier the better, because only the yam is curved and the surface seems to be covered with rust and dust.
The reason for the low appearance of yam is mainly because the soil is hard and sticky, and the growth process of yam is difficult, and the shape of the yam usually becomes irregular. Because of this, the yam has less water, enough sugar, and the meat is very porcelain, and the nutritional value is naturally higher.
The sandy soil is empty, and the yam grown is relatively long and straight, although it is neat and beautiful, but the moisture is large, the taste is poor, and the nutritional value is also low. Therefore, compared with ordinary yams, the dry matter and carbohydrate contents of yam were significantly higher. And the starch quality, mannan and mucin content are much better than other yams.
Therefore, the yam has always been respected by doctors of all generations, and it is praised as "a gentleman's dish for longevity"; For example, the "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that it "benefits kidney qi, strengthens the spleen and stomach, stops diarrhea, dissolves phlegm and salivation, and moistens the skin." Therefore, yam is very suitable for those who have a weak spleen and stomach or a reduced constitution after illness and childbirth.
When it comes to the practice of yam with iron sticks, it is in line with the sentence "Excellent ingredients often only need simple methods." That is: "Steamed and eaten." That is, simply cut into cubes, then steam in plain water for fifteen minutes before serving.
If you want to eat it more finely and tastefully, you can crush the steamed yam, knead it into balls, and then wrap it in egg yolk and fry it.
In addition, among the many methods of yam, the most famous is Chen's Bazhen Cake. Speaking of these eight treasures cake, the earliest originated from the Ming Dynasty imperial physician Chen Gongshi's "Surgical Authenticity", compared with other doctors who focus on the outside and light on the inside, Chen Shigong pays more attention to the effect of food tonic from the inside out, and this "Eight Treasures Cake" is the crystallization of its wisdom.
The first generation of Chen's Bazhen cake is mainly made of iron stick yam, Poria cocos, Jianlian, gourd, lentil, barley, hawthorn, malt, supplemented by rice flour, sugar, sesame oil refined, because there are eight flavors of concomitant materials, so this Bazhen cake is also called Baxian cake.
Today, under the premise that the classic ancient recipe remains unchanged, and with the blessing of the precise ratio of ingredients and the new baking process, it finally converges into this new era Bazhen cake in our first place, and in order to meet the health concept of the new era, this Bazhen cake refuses to add sucrose and flavor that are harmful to the body, so it is guaranteed that only the grain and wheat fragrance will go down in one bite, so even friends who are taboo to sweets and desserts can eat with confidence.
On the one hand, the main discharge of spring spring will mobilize the excess health qi in the human body, and the spleen will be discharged outward, but on the one hand, the sudden cold will make people's temper disturbed, and the number of times is more, it will lead to problems such as bloating, abdominal stuffiness, and gas in the throat in spring.
In fact, these situations are quite related to the disturbance of their own qi by spring, and in the past, when dealing with the spleen and stomach problems caused by this kind of self-qi disorder, they would often kill chickens and take gizzards to cook porridge and condition, but in fact, the chicken gizzard itself does not have the ability to regulate qi and warm the spleen and stomach, and the reason why it is useful is mainly due to the layer of chicken inner gold film on the chicken gizzard.
Therefore, in the old days, as long as there was something wrong with the spleen and stomach in the spring, they would take out the chicken gold that had been dried and stored during the New Year, first grind it into powder, and then use it to cook porridge or soak in water. However, although the chicken inner gold is a high-quality ingredient with excellent eating effect.
So today, we will use chicken gold as raw materials, developed this Huaishannei gold powder, in addition to the original Huaishan Yam, our Huaishannei gold powder will also be Shandong Weifang fresh hawthorn and Guangxi ancient brown sugar has been organically fused, to ensure that the fresh and sour taste of hawthorn can be completely integrated with the sweetness of brown sugar, in order to bring diners gourmets to the "rich" taste and "fragrant" aftertaste.
