What is stomach qi? If you eat well, you can absorb it, so your stomach will be full. If the stomach qi is damaged, the grains can't be digested at this time, the body will become thinner and thinner, and the resistance and immunity will decrease, and various diseases may occur.
I don't know if you have noticed that sometimes not all diseases are reflected in the stomach, but almost all diseases are related to the stomach, and this relationship is big or small. For example, if a woman gives birth to a child or a patient has just finished surgery, the doctor will definitely remind her family members to pay attention to the diet after childbirth or a few days after surgery. They should eat liquid food, such as rice porridge, instead of greasy soup. Then why not make up for it right away and eat these so-called "cheap" ingredients? No matter how serious the disease is, it will not get worse as long as you can eat it. No matter how mild the illness is, it will be very serious if you can't eat. So from the perspective of Chinese medicine, it means that "a little stomach gas can save a life."
1. Drink rice porridge
This kind of rice porridge is not ordinary millet porridge, and the main ingredients are preferably millet, coix seed, jujube and yam. Because millet is a good product for nourishing the stomach, and coix seed can strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis, jujube can replenish qi and blood, and yam can replenish lung, spleen and kidney, which has dehumidification effect. Cooking porridge with these four foods and taking it in the morning and evening can play a role in strengthening the body resistance and strengthening the stomach.
Rub your hands
I often recommend that rubbing your toes can strengthen your stomach. Rub your fist before eating, that is, hold your left hand in a fist shape, press your fist face against Neiguan point in your right hand and rotate it left and right to stimulate this point. Rub your palms together until it gets hot. This action is to stimulate the Laogong point of the palm. Finally, fingers crossed and wrists patted, thus stimulating Daling point. The purpose of this action is to make these three acupoints fever, so that the function of pericardium meridian will be improved, the heart fire will rise to the stomach, the appetite will increase, and the digestive function will be enhanced.
Move your toes
Toe massage has a very good effect on human health care. People with weak spleen and stomach often exercise or massage their toes, which can effectively promote the smooth flow of qi and blood in the body, balance yin and yang, and strengthen the body resistance and eliminate evil. If we can pay more attention to toe health care in daily life, we can recuperate the spleen and stomach for a long time. You can try scratching the ground with your toes and soles for about 5 minutes at a time. You can exercise your feet alone or at the same time. Every day 10 ~ 20 minutes, do it 2 ~ 3 times. If we persist for a long time, the function of gastrointestinal tract will be gradually enhanced.
? Tips for nourishing the heart:
If you want to raise your spleen and stomach, you must avoid the three most harmful behaviors. First, eating constantly will increase the burden on the stomach. Second, the nutrition is not balanced. Simply eating meat instead of vegetables and fruits will increase the proliferation of intestinal bacteria. Third, people who don't eat breakfast for a long time will make the stomach secrete a lot of stomach, which is prone to gastritis and gastric ulcer after a long time. Therefore, stomach qi is the key factor of spleen and stomach health, which must be paid attention to.
