Huangdi Neijing, one of the four classics of traditional Chinese medicine, holds that "the spleen and stomach are the officials of the granary, and five flavors come out." It means that the spleen and stomach are like warehouses, which can not only ingest food, but also transport nutrients and provide energy for the whole body. When there is something wrong with the stomach, various diseases will follow.
So how do we nourish the stomach?
Healthy stomach-nourishing starts with the details of life. Because the occurrence of stomach diseases does not happen overnight, many stomach diseases are caused by unhealthy lifestyles, such as alcoholism. Alcohol itself can directly damage mucous membranes, and alcohol can also cause cirrhosis and chronic pancreatitis, thus aggravating stomach damage.
Spleen and stomach are "the foundation of the day after tomorrow" and are also of great significance in disease prevention and health preservation. For example, Li Dongyuan said in Spleen and Stomach Theory: All diseases are caused by the decline of spleen and stomach. Therefore, we should not only pay attention to diet and nutrition in daily life, but also be good at protecting the spleen and stomach.
There is an old saying in China that food is the most important thing for the people. If you have a good appetite, life will be smooth. Because the food entrance always passes through the stomach, it can show its magical power. Therefore, although the stomach is small, it plays a great role. Traditional medicine with thousands of years of history also points out that the stomach is the main channel for people to digest and absorb the food they eat, and it is one of the main organs to maintain human activities.
Today, with the increasing awareness of health care, people pay more and more attention to the stomach. However, few people really understand the stomach closely related to health. Below, let's take a comprehensive and systematic look at such an important stomach and see if your stomach is healthy.
Li Dongyuan said in Spleen-Stomach Theory, Spleen-Stomach Deficiency and Cold and Spleen Deficiency: "Sufficient vitality is nourished by spleen-stomach qi. If the stomach is weak and the diet is doubled, the spleen and stomach will be injured and the vitality will not be full, and all diseases will be caused by it. " In the clinical diagnosis and treatment of diseases, we also attach great importance to stomach qi, and often regard "protecting stomach qi" as an important treatment principle.
