Bigu, also known as Quegu, can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. Simply put, don't eat whole grains. It originated from the Taoist way of keeping in good health in ancient China, and is called "the power to be convinced by eating summer", that is, to collect energy from nature for the human body to carry out various life activities. Because people eat every day, and many people often overeat, the spleen and stomach are often overworked. Drinking water without eating any food during the valley can give the spleen and stomach a good rest.

During the period of food deprivation, the body's sugar metabolism is exhausted in 2 to 3 days, and then lipid metabolism begins. Fat is the main form of human energy storage, and fat metabolism is completed through the liver. Usually, people mainly metabolize sugar to get energy, and seldom use fat as energy storage, so the liver usually metabolizes little fat. However, during the over-valley period, energy is mainly supplied by lipid metabolism, so the workload of the liver is greatly increased. It is equivalent to a heavy military training for the liver.

The correct way to cross the valley

1, it's time for crushing.

Usually, the time of breaking the grain varies from person to person. For most people, the period of food deprivation can be 65,438+0 days, 2-3 days, and the interval is 65,438+0 months, or half a year, which can be decided according to the individual's physical condition, but it is necessary to avoid too long or too frequent food deprivation.

Step 2 adjust your mentality

During the period of breaking the grain, we need to pay attention to adjusting our mentality to avoid the problems of anxiety and irritability affecting the process of breaking the grain and interrupting it.

Step 3 adjust your diet

Cross the valley and don't eat food. A few days before crossing the valley, it is recommended to start a light diet to gradually adapt the body. When crossing the valley, you can reduce your food intake according to your personal physique, and you can eat fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water appropriately.
