How is yang deficiency constitution caused?
Some people's yang deficiency is due to congenital reasons, while some people's yang deficiency constitution is indeed caused by the day after tomorrow.
1, improper diet
Love to eat cold drinks, especially ice cream and cold drinks in summer. After these cold foods enter the stomach, they will directly lower the temperature of the stomach, make the yin in the body prevail, and hurt the yang. Similarly, eating watermelon and cold drinks in winter will lose yang and lead to yang deficiency.
2. Life is irregular
Today, with the development of information, everyone can't live without the internet. They brush their mobile phones, play games and catch up on TV dramas until the early hours of the morning. In fact, staying up late not only hurts yin, but also hurts yang. Because night is the time when the yang in our body gathers. At this time, only when we fall asleep on time can the yang rise normally. If we don't have a good rest and can't rise, this will naturally lead to yang deficiency. In addition, staying in a room with low temperature and too cold for a long time will also lead to yang deficiency.
3. Abuse of antibiotics can also lead to yang deficiency constitution.
Many people have a feeling that after taking antibiotics for a few days, there will be gastrointestinal discomfort, either stomach pain, bloating, loss of appetite or diarrhea. Generally speaking, antibiotics will stimulate the gastrointestinal tract. From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, antibiotics will damage the yang of human body. Because antibiotics have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, they are all bitter and cold, and they hurt the spleen and stomach the most after oral administration. Spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow. Once the function of spleen and stomach fails to function normally, the vitality of human body will be weakened, and the yang will be reduced, leading to yang deficiency.
What should Yang deficiency constitution eat more?
Since it is yang deficiency, we should eat more warm food. Because kidney is the root of yang and spleen is the source of yang metaplasia, spleen and kidney should be supplemented first. Eating more mutton, crucian carp, nuts and other foods can achieve the purpose of invigorating spleen and benefiting qi.
What is forbidden for yang deficiency constitution?
Cold foods should be avoided or even eliminated as far as possible, because cold foods not only hurt yang, but also aggravate yang deficiency, such as ice cream, cold drinks, mung beans, kelp and pears.
What should people with yang deficiency pay attention to every day?
1, don't catch cold
People with yang deficiency constitution have poor adaptability to changes in cold and summer, and when it turns cold slightly, they feel unbearable cold. Therefore, in spring and summer, we should pay attention to replenishing yang. There is a folk saying: insatiable greed. It has been pointed out that if you can sunbathe 20 to 30 times in summer, each time 15 to 20 minutes, you can greatly improve your ability to adapt to the cold climate in winter. This is mainly because in summer, the yang of the human body is biased towards the body surface, and the pores and meridians are open and sparse. Sunbathing can enhance the body's absorption of yang.
It's getting hotter and hotter now, regardless of the north and the south. Remember, people with yang deficiency should not sleep outdoors, do not let the electric fan blow directly, and turn on the air conditioner as little as possible if it is unnecessary. Pay special attention to the warmth of the navel when sleeping. You can cover your navel with a light quilt to avoid catching cold and aggravate the symptoms of yang deficiency.
2. Don't stay up late
Adequate sleep is very important for the spirit of the sun. Staying up late will not only hurt the spirit of the sun, but also make us mentally tired and lose our luster. I suggest you try to sleep before 23: 00 at night.
Step 3 exercise more
"Exercise gives birth to yang", and people with yang deficiency should strengthen exercise more than others. Exercise can also improve the body's immunity and reduce the possibility of getting sick. However, it is suggested that people with yang deficiency do some dynamic exercises, such as walking and cycling, but it is best to grasp the degree of exercise and achieve a state of "sweating slightly"; Although yang deficiency is not suitable for sweating, it is not recommended to do static exercise like yoga, which is more suitable for people with yin deficiency constitution.
Yang deficiency constitution can't be cured in a day or two. In daily life, it is necessary to insist on food supplement and adjust daily habits and laws in order to achieve results.
