Have you eaten? This is a common greeting in China. First of all, it reflects people's real concern for each other in difficult times, and further, it can be regarded as a mutual reminder of people's health. Why do you say that?
There are 500 million patients with gastric diseases in the world, and China accounts for 654.38+0.2 billion, which is a veritable "big country with gastric diseases". In Chinese medicine, when it comes to the stomach, we can't help but mention the spleen, which is the "root" of health. If the spleen and stomach function is not strong, it will cause many diseases. Health care must first raise the spleen and stomach. A strong stomach is strong, while a weak stomach is weak. If longevity is compared to building a house, protecting the spleen and stomach is to lay a foundation, and the foundation is not firm. Eating more nutrients and health products won't help much.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow and the key to the biochemistry of human qi and blood. If a person's spleen and stomach are not good, then the qi and blood of the body will be insufficient, and all parts of the body will not be nourished, which will naturally lead to "withering" and many diseases. Tonifying spleen is the key to treat all diseases.
There is something wrong with the spleen and stomach, which is likely to implicate the five internal organs. There is a saying in Chinese medicine that "nourishing the spleen and stomach means nourishing vitality, and nourishing vitality means nourishing life". The health of the spleen and stomach is an important factor to determine the length of life.
Heart and spleen are like a pair of mother and son. Heart disease should be treated from spleen and stomach. Spleen is responsible for coordinating human qi and blood and supporting the heart. Once there is something wrong with the spleen, it will lead to the imbalance of qi and blood and cause heart disease.
Interaction between liver and spleen and stomach. Patients often tell me that I still feel hungry after eating, but my stomach is full and taking gastrointestinal medicine doesn't work. In fact, this is often related to excessive work pressure or bad mood leading to liver depression and qi stagnation. To solve the problem of spleen and stomach, we must first nourish the liver.
Conversely, the spleen and stomach will also affect the liver. For example, the root of fatty liver is that the spleen and stomach can't digest food well, which makes it difficult to treat garbage and accumulate in the liver, thus affecting the blood supply of the liver and other functions.
Spleen and stomach weakness first affects the lungs. The lung is like a "prime minister" who specializes in assisting the "monarch" of the heart. The lungs help the heart manage the whole body by managing the qi in the body. However, the rise and fall of lung qi depends on the strength of spleen and stomach. People with weak spleen and stomach often lead to respiratory diseases such as lung qi deficiency and easy to catch a cold.
Spleen deficiency is often accompanied by kidney deficiency. People are full of energy and kidney qi. The strength of kidney essence is also related to whether people's spleen and stomach are healthy and whether they can provide sufficient nutrition to nourish the kidneys. Long-term spleen deficiency can lead to kidney deficiency, which is characterized by restless mind, easy night sweats, or fear of cold, cold hands and feet.
Spleen is so important to the human body that it must be adjusted in time if it feels uncomfortable.
