There is a saying in TCM that spleen governs muscles, which is recorded in Huangdi Neijing Su Wenwei Lun. It believes that if a person has a healthy temper, his muscles will be full, tight and full of vitality, while if he has problems such as spleen deficiency, his muscles will become soft, weak or wet. Therefore, the muscle strength of the body is not strong, which also reflects the health and transport ability of the spleen. If the spleen is good, you can know a thing or two by pinching your arm.

In addition, there is a simple way to test the health of the spleen: stand up and scratch the ground with your toes to see if you can hold it steady. If you usually take the bus or subway, if everyone else stands steady, only you can't stand steady, which also shows that this spleen needs to be raised well. People with strong spleen and stomach function will have a stronger grip on toes when standing. If you find that you can't grasp the ground, you can practice from here. Whether standing or sitting, keeping your feet flat and close to the ground, grasping the ground with your toes and then relaxing, grasping, releasing, grasping and releasing, and occasionally practicing can effectively stimulate the spleen meridian.

To remind you, Chinese medicine believes that the spleen in the five internal organs corresponds to the soil in the five elements. Although summer belongs to fire, the long summer in the future belongs to soil. The long summer is the hottest and wettest time between summer and autumn, and the relationship between dampness and spleen is the closest, so we should pay more attention to the exercise and maintenance of spleen.
