Today, I will tell you a true story around me. Everyone knows that our parents' generation always ate badly when they were young. Later, when their living conditions improved, many people suffered from high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia. Neighbor uncle Li is like this. Not only does he take antihypertensive drugs every day, but he also has an oxygen bag at home. But I am 70 years old this year, but I seem to be a different person. I look good, and my blood pressure and blood lipid are not high. I couldn't help asking him about the secret recipe of maintenance. He said it was not an ancestral medicine or a diet. I just like to rub my stomach and see that my stomach is gone!

In fact, what Uncle Li said about rubbing his stomach is rubbing his stomach. Although simple, it has been circulated for thousands of years. According to Chinese medicine, the abdomen of the human body is the palace of the five internal organs and the source of Yin, Yang Qi and blood. Rubbing the abdomen frequently can help you move up and down, coordinate yin and yang, nourish the five internal organs, drive away cold and evil spirits, and remove turbid qi in the body. Not only that, belly rubbing has many functions.

Benefits 1: Reduce and balance blood pressure.

The abdomen is the part where the stomach meridian and spleen meridian follow. Pressing the abdomen can strengthen the temper and help to eliminate cold and dampness, especially for hypertension caused by phlegm-dampness obstruction. For friends with vascular diseases, insisting on rubbing the abdomen can also calm the liver and reduce fire, make people calm and help blood circulation.

Benefit 2: reduce your stomach

You can usually see some paunchy people. You can ask these people that most of their spleen must be bad. So the main causes of obesity are spleen deficiency and stagnation of qi and blood. So if you want to lose weight, start with spleen conditioning. By rubbing the abdomen, the function of the spleen and stomach is improved, and fat consumption is promoted, so that abdominal fat is not easy to accumulate and the stomach becomes smaller.

Benefit 3: Dealing with constipation

Constipation is not a serious disease, but constipation can lead to many diseases, such as heart disease and bad breath. Many people are still used to using drugs to alleviate it, but they gradually become dependent. Don't forget it's a three-point poison! In fact, you can try to rub your abdomen and restore your spleen and stomach.

Benefit 4: Relieve dysmenorrhea

Now many women have the experience of dysmenorrhea. Because of the time, they usually take painkillers to relieve the pain. For expectant mothers who want to have children, it is not suitable for long-term use. Abdominal pain is mostly caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis. Insisting on rubbing the abdomen can dredge the meridians, draw blood downward, and make menstrual blood smooth. Because the lower abdomen is the uterus, rubbing the lower abdomen can promote the microcirculation of the lower abdomen, regulate menstruation and relieve pain.

Having said that, I think what you want to know most is the method of rubbing your abdomen. You should exercise your abdomen once in the morning and once in the evening, preferably before going to bed and after getting up.

▲ The specific method of rubbing the abdomen:

Take the supine position and rub the abdomen around the navel with your right hand clockwise, starting from the navel and gradually expanding round and round until rubbing the whole abdomen. The intensity of massage should be moderate, on the premise of not causing pain.

Reminder:

Time 10~30 minutes, the massage effect is the best after bathing. The rotation speed should be slow and uniform. When you practice rubbing your abdomen for the first time, the speed should be every 2-3 seconds for 30 minutes, and it should be between 600-900 times. When rubbing your abdomen, you will often feel warm and hungry in your abdomen, or have bowel sounds and exhaust sounds, which is a normal reaction, so don't worry.

Taboo:

Abdominal massage should not be performed when you are too hungry or full. If the abdominal skin has wound, infection or acute inflammation such as enteritis and appendicitis, it is not advisable to press it to avoid the spread of inflammation; There is cancer in the abdomen, so it is not advisable to press it.

Keep rubbing your abdomen for a week or so, and you will feel the airflow running in your abdomen. Stick to it for 30 days, and you will see amazing changes!
