How does yang deficiency constitution regulate the pathological phenomenon of yang deficiency? Yang Can warms limbs and internal organs. If the yang is insufficient, the function of the body will decline, which is prone to signs of deficiency and cold. Common ones are Wei yang deficiency, spleen yang deficiency and kidney yang deficiency. The main symptoms of yang deficiency are chills, cold limbs, pale complexion, loose stool, long urine and weak pulse. The principle of avoidance is to eat warm food, food with warming yang and dispelling cold, food with high calorie and rich nutrition. Avoid eating cold things, all kinds of cold drinks and all kinds of cool fruits. The five symptoms of yang deficiency are fear of cold, and the limbs are not warm. This is the most important symptom of yang deficiency. Yang is like the sun in nature. Without it, the internal environment would be "cold". The undigested grains indicate that undigested food is mixed in the stool. The ancients had an image metaphor for this phenomenon. The digestion of food is like cooking raw rice into cooked rice, the stomach is like a cooking pot, and the yang is like a cooking fire. Rice can't be cooked without fire. Therefore, when the yang is insufficient, the food entering the stomach cannot be "decomposed" (digested) well and directly discharged from the intestine. Lack of energy, yang deficiency, decreased cell life activities, so it is listless and lazy. The consumption and metabolism of water in the body with light and fat tongue coating or tooth marks depend on the transpiration of Yang. If the yang is weak and the transpiration consumption of water and liquid is insufficient, too much water will accumulate in the body, resulting in a fat tongue. The tongue is fat, and teeth marks will appear when it is squeezed by teeth. The pulse is thin and the yang is insufficient, so the pulse is thin and weak. When the five internal organs also have yang deficiency, the heart is yang deficiency. At the same time, I saw palpitation, chest tightness and pain, insomnia and dreaminess, and I was uneasy. Liver yang deficiency. At the same time, dizziness, bilateral discomfort, breast pain and depression can be seen. Spleen yang deficiency. See also loss of appetite, nausea and burping, loose stool, and sour taste. Kidney yang deficiency. Pain in the waist and knees, frequent urination or urinary incontinence, impotence and premature ejaculation, sexual dysfunction, etc. can also be seen. Deficiency of lung yang. Cough, shortness of breath, inability to breathe, low voice, laziness in speaking, and phlegm like foam. Yang deficiency refers to the deficiency of yang in human body. Traditional Chinese medicine is usually divided into spleen-yang deficiency and kidney-yang deficiency, most of which are characterized by cold limbs, hypothermia, cold hands and feet, or cold back, or cold feeling below the waist; The stool is often thin and shapeless, the urine is long and clear, or frequent urination, or after drowning, or impotence; The tongue is pale with white fur, and the pulse is weak. The principle of avoidance is to eat warm food, food with warming yang and dispelling cold, food with high calorie and rich nutrition. Avoid eating cold things, all kinds of cold drinks and all kinds of cool fruits. Kidney yang deficiency is a symptom of kidney yang failure, which is mostly caused by vegetarian yang deficiency or kidney deficiency in the elderly, kidney injury due to long-term illness, overwork and other factors. Clinical manifestations: weak waist and knees, chills and cold limbs, especially lower limbs, dizziness, listlessness, pale face, dark tongue, fat white fur and weak pulse. Or impotence, infertility due to palace cold, or prolonged defecation, indigestion, diarrhea in the fifth watch, or edema, especially below the waist. Palpitation and cough. Foods that are warm in nature and have the functions of tonifying kidney-yang and warming spleen-yang, such as indica rice, dog meat, mutton, chicken, pork tripe, garlic, leeks, peppers, kidney beans and cinnamon. People with yang deficiency and constipation should eat foods that are both warm and laxative, such as walnut kernels, macrostemon macrostemon, sea cucumbers and shrimps. People who have diarrhea due to yang deficiency should eat warm and antidiarrheal foods, such as glutinous rice, chain fish, river shrimp, dried ginger and pepper. Foods with astringent and antidiarrheal effects, such as pomegranate, dark plum, lotus seed, gordon euryales, etc. Avoid eating: foods that are cold, easy to hurt yang, or greasy and difficult to digest, such as japonica rice, buckwheat, naked oats, tofu, pork, duck, pine nuts, peanuts, black fungus, bitter gourd, water bamboo, celery, wax gourd, eggplant, spinach, longan, banana, honey, etc. Constipation due to yang deficiency also needs to avoid foods that can stop diarrhea and aggravate constipation, such as lotus seeds, pomegranate, Euryale euryales, dark plum, glutinous rice, river shrimp and so on. Diarrhea due to yang deficiency also needs to avoid foods with laxative effect, such as walnut kernel, sesame, tremella, sea cucumber, shrimp, milk, rabbit meat, longan, peach and radish. Constitution can be divided into cold and heat. How to distinguish heat syndrome from cold syndrome is a relatively simple test method: if you feel comfortable drinking hot water, it is generally cold syndrome. Generally speaking, people with deficiency-cold constitution have low basal metabolic rate and less heat production in the body. Even in summer, their limbs are cold. Their faces are whiter than ordinary people, they are seldom thirsty, and they don't like to touch cold things, including entering air-conditioned rooms. If you feel comfortable drinking cold water, it is generally a heat syndrome. People with excess heat constitution have vigorous metabolism, produce more heat, often face red, thirsty, dry tongue, like to eat cold drinks, easy to be agitated and often constipated. People with cold constitution produce low heat energy, so their hands and feet are colder, their faces are paler than the average person, and they are prone to sweating, loose stool, urine, pale face and light taste. They like to drink hot drinks and seldom get thirsty. Even if they enter the air-conditioned room in hot summer, they will feel uncomfortable and need a cup of hot tea or a coat to be comfortable. People with this constitution should choose warmer people in their diet. The constitution is cold, more afraid of cold, and tends to anemia. If you eat raw and cold food, it will make the cold disease worse. Because the cold feeling of limbs increases and the blood circulation at the end is not smooth, even in summer, you will still feel paralyzed, and the pain will be more severe in winter due to the influence of cold environment. Physical weakness, the real "physical weakness", is the relative depression caused by the decline of life activities. "Solid constitution" is prone to fever, bloating, irritability, heavy breathing, constipation and other symptoms. In addition to the above classification, the constitution may be mixed with cold and heat, which can be roughly divided into "cold", "hot" or general. When it comes to the properties of food, Chinese medicine has the so-called "four qi", which means that food will produce "cold, heat, warmth and cold" when it enters the body. If it is not warm or cold, it belongs to "sexual equality", and each fruit has its own attributes, which are generally divided into three categories: "warm", "cold" and "sweet". Warm fruit The so-called warm fruit refers to the fruit with high calorie density and high sugar content. After eating, the phosphorylation of glucose in the liver is accelerated, the synthesis of liver sugar is increased, the ratio of insulin to furosemide is increased, the synthesis of fatty acids is improved, and the synthesis of triglycerides is also improved. When the liver is full of fat and sugar to be sent out, it is easy to get angry and the energy in the body is more "hot". Warm fruits are: jujube, chestnut, peach, apricot, longan, litchi, cherry, pomegranate, pineapple and so on. People with a hot constitution should eat this fruit in moderation. Cold fruits should be used with caution. Cold fruits include: oranges, oranges, water chestnuts, bananas, Sydney, persimmons, lilies and watermelons. Ganping Fruits Ganping fruits include: grapes, papaya, olives, plums, plums, loquats, hawthorn, apples and so on. This kind of fruit is suitable for people of all physiques. "Yang deficiency constitution" is also called "deficiency cold constitution". Obviously afraid of cold, especially sensitive to the cooling climate, or the feeling of cold water pouring on the back; Like to drink hot tea and soup, fatigue, palpitation, shortness of breath, easy sweating, loose stools, diarrhea after a cold, edema after fatigue, or polyuria at night, loss of libido, male impotence, premature ejaculation, female menoxenia, depression, depression and loneliness. Physical examination: the hands and feet are not warm, the waist and abdomen are cold, the face is pale and dull, or the face is dull, the tongue is pale and white, the tongue is fat and tender, and the pulse is weak. Yang deficiency constitution has low blood pressure, decreased immune function, decreased thyroid hormone secretion, decreased adrenal cortex function and decreased sex hormone level. According to clinical experience, we can refer to the following items to distinguish the constitution of yang deficiency: 1, the limbs are not warm all the year round, and the body temperature is lower than that of ordinary people, which is the characteristic of yang deficiency constitution; 2. It has the basic characteristics of qi-deficiency constitution (see Chapter 1 "Expression of Qi-deficiency Constitution" ~); 3 more common in the elderly; 4 easy to doze off during the day; 5. Chronic blood loss (such as menorrhagia, hemorrhoid bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, etc. ) or chronic diarrhea. Cold food is the most taboo for cold constitution, such as radish, cabbage, spinach, tofu, wax gourd, loofah, bitter gourd, persimmon, pear, tomato, watermelon and other fruits. Ice products and drinks are also taboo.

Ginger is pungent and has the effect of warming and stopping vomiting. People who are afraid of cold and nausea and have a "white greasy tongue" should use ginger juice, ginger tea, ginger soup, shredded ginger and ginger slices to drive away the cold. Eating (hot) ◎ mutton, beef, squab ◎ ginger, onion, red dates, fennel, wine, vinegar, dried tangerine peel, coriander ◎ peach, chestnut, pumpkin, peach (flat) ◎ pork, chicken, eggs, carp, crucian carp and water fish. The main reason of cold hands and feet is that the metabolism of blood slows down in winter, and the low temperature makes blood vessels contract, which weakens the blood reflux ability and makes the blood circulation of hands and feet, especially the fingertip and toe, and the terminal nerve circulation not smooth. The nursing plan of cold hands and feet is the most effective way to soak your feet every day. Add hot water of about 40 degrees to the deep basin, so that the water overflows the ankle. Soak for about 20 minutes, you will feel whole body fever, indicating that after the blood circulation is smooth, the body begins to heat up. If you rub your feet while soaking them, the effect will be better. Aerobic jogging, brisk walking, rope skipping, disco dancing, playing Tai Ji Chuan, etc. It will make all parts of the body move and promote blood circulation, but don't exercise too much. High-intensity exercise and excessive sweating will "release yang" and have the opposite effect. Wearing cotton socks is not only soft and comfortable, but also absorbs sweat from your feet and keeps your feet dry and comfortable all day. Supplementing calories food is cold. In order to increase calories and improve cold hands and feet, you should deliberately supplement them. It is cold in winter in the north, so you can supplement warm foods, such as beef, mutton or dog meat. The mild climate in the south is more suitable for adding sweetness, such as chicken, duck and fish. And try to eat less cold fruits such as pears and water chestnuts. Get enough sleep and get at least 6 hours of sleep every day. Adequate sleep is conducive to the storage of yin and yang essence. If you have time to massage your hands and feet, you can often rub your hands and feet to improve the microcirculation of peripheral blood vessels and warm your hands and feet. People with yang deficiency should pay attention to keep warm. People with yang deficiency should be resistant to spring, summer and autumn, not autumn and winter. In autumn and winter, we should properly use warm clothes and food to maintain yang, especially pay attention to the warmth of the waist and lower limbs. Summer is hot, sweating too much, which easily leads to yang leakage and yang deficiency. We should try our best to avoid overwork and sweating, and we should not be greedy for cold and drink cold. Do outdoor activities properly under sunny conditions, and don't work and live in a dark, humid and cold environment for a long time. People with yang deficiency are not suitable for swimming. People with yang deficiency should give priority to the exercise method of tonifying yang and strengthening yang. Because of the cold constitution, it is easy to be attacked by cold, so we should pay attention to keep warm during exercise to avoid catching a cold. People with yang deficiency should choose warm weather for outdoor sports, and should not exercise in cold weather or wet places. Swimming in the water is easy to catch cold and wet, which is generally not suitable. According to the theory of "nourishing yang in spring and summer and nourishing yin in autumn and winter" in traditional Chinese medicine, people with yang deficiency had better choose spring and summer as their exercise time, sunny morning is the best time of the day, and they should exercise indoors at other times. Don't exercise excessively, especially pay attention not to sweat a lot to prevent sweating from hurting the yang. Some techniques in traditional sports in China, such as proper short-distance running and jumping, such as skipping rope, can invigorate the yang and promote the growth and circulation of the yang. How to supplement yang deficiency constitution? Traditional Chinese medicine should pay attention to nourishing yin while nourishing yang. That is to say, when eating warm Chinese medicine, such as Cordyceps sinensis, you should eat some drugs that nourish yin, such as yam and medlar. Take care of both the spleen and stomach when tonic. If the tongue coating is very greasy, it means that the burden of gastrointestinal function is heavy and digestion is not good. At this time, please ask the doctor to adjust his stomach first, and then take supplements. Cordyceps sinensis: People with yang deficiency, including middle-aged and elderly people with yang deficiency symptoms, can eat Lycium barbarum. One way is to dry chew 30 grams of Lycium barbarum every day. Lycium barbarum is the cordyceps sinensis of ordinary people. The dry chewing of Lycium barbarum was first recorded in the Encyclopedia of Surgery. Some people chew 30 grams of dried medlar before going to bed, which can treat thirst at night; Some people use Lycium barbarum to chew 15g each time to treat sperm abnormalities; Some people have dried Lycium barbarum and grinded it into powder to treat atrophic gastritis, all of which have good effects. Mr. Xu Xishan, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in Zhejiang Province, has been eating a handful of Lycium barbarum every morning for more than 20 years. At the age of 82, he is now working as a quality consultant for a lot of Yiguang in Hangzhou every day. He is in good health. Someone tried to give Lycium barbarum extract 50 mg each time, orally twice a day, and 4 weeks was a course of treatment. After two courses of continuous administration, the immune function of the elderly has been significantly improved. According to the theory of cell life, Liu Bin and others confirmed that Lycium barbarum has obvious life-prolonging effect through experiments. Dai Shouzhi and others fed large doses of Lycium barbarum to mice and found that they could prolong their life. Compared with the experimental group fed with Lycium barbarum at the age of 12 months, the average life span of the experimental group fed with Lycium barbarum at the age of 18 months was prolonged by one third and the maximum life span was prolonged by 4 1 day. People with yang deficiency should make intimate friends. Most people with yang deficiency are introverted, quiet, often in a bad mood and prone to depression. Pay attention to adjust your emotions, be good at self-mockery, talk to others, be generous and change your mood. Up to now, it is not our habit to go to the hospital to find a psychiatrist. In fact, everyone has mental illness, and everyone needs psychological counseling. So, what is the best alternative for psychologists at present? Talking with good friends is a good tradition in our country, and friends are your psychologists. When you feel depressed and uncomfortable, go to your friends, and your friends will definitely help you tide over the difficulties. What is suitable for people with yang deficiency to eat? People with yang deficiency should give priority to warm food in their daily diet, and should also consider matching qi-invigorating food to protect the spleen and stomach and increase the body's resistance. Commonly used tonic foods can be fried mutton, dog meat, chicken, hairtail, loach, eel, shrimp (lobster, prawn, shrimp), sea cucumber, mussel, quail, kidney bean, chestnut, leek and so on. Don't eat too much frozen food in summer. People with yang deficiency are suitable for eating walnuts, and the specific way to eat walnuts can be porridge. Compatibility: 50 grams of walnut kernel and appropriate amount of millet, cooked together, can be used as a snack between three meals, and a little brown sugar can be added when eating. One or two meals a day, two weeks as a course of treatment. This porridge strengthens the spleen and qi, warms the stomach and moistens the intestines.
