What are the physical manifestations of yang deficiency?
Fear of cold, cold hands and feet: the most direct function of yang in the body is to keep body temperature. People with sufficient yang are generally full of "internal heat", and their body temperature can be kept relatively high in summer or winter. On the contrary, if a person always feels cold in his hands and feet, and feels cold at a temperature that others think is appropriate, it is a manifestation of insufficient yang in the body.
Dyspepsia and bloating: The gastrointestinal tract is the main organ for digesting food, and the digestion and absorption of food requires a lot of blood. As the "power" to promote blood flow, if there is a lack of yang, the digestion speed of food will be affected, and food will exist in the stomach for too long, which is easy to indigestion and bloating. If it can't be adjusted in time, it will easily cause stomach trouble.
Nerve failure: Yang is the main way to promote metabolism and an important substance to maintain basal metabolic rate. If the yang is insufficient, the metabolic rate of harmful substances will be affected, and if these substances cannot be discharged in time, the burden on organs and blood vessels will increase for a long time, which is manifested as physical failure and nerve failure. Even if you don't work for a long time, you will feel weak all over.
If you often have the above-mentioned physical conditions, it means that the yang in your body is insufficient, and if you want to alleviate such symptoms, you need to make up for the lack of yang, which can be carried out from the following three aspects.
1, eat more "yang" food.
Mutton, ginger and durian are all hot foods and daily "yang-tonifying" foods. When the yang in the body is consumed in large quantities, cold and dampness will enter the body, which is prone to various discomforts and diseases. At this time, you can eat more mutton, durian and other foods, which can not only remove the moisture and cold in the body, but also supplement protein, trace elements, vitamins and other substances to ensure nutritional supply and promote metabolism.
2, more contact with things with heavy yang.
As the most abundant yang in nature, people with insufficient Yang Can spend more time in the sun every day, especially in the current weather. After a period of time, they will feel warm all over, which can not only help to expel the cold in the body, but also reduce the consumption of yang in the body. However, it should be noted that the intensity of ultraviolet rays in the sun is relatively high, especially at noon and afternoon. In order to reduce skin damage, it is suggested that you can choose to bask in the sun at 9:00- 10 in the morning, with the best effect.
3. Soak your feet with hot water at night.
When the yang is insufficient, the blood circulation at the end of the body will be abnormal and the local temperature will be low, such as hands and feet. To alleviate this situation, you can soak your feet in hot water 15-20 minutes before going to bed until you feel feverish all over, which can not only relieve the poor blood flow, but also improve the quality of sleep and increase the yang in your body.
Yang deficiency is a phenomenon that many people will have. Traditional Chinese medicine points out that yang is the first thing to keep healthy, which shows the importance of yang to health. If you find that your yang is insufficient, you need to supplement it in time, which can reduce the chance of physical discomfort and disease and achieve the effect of health care.
