Men nourish the liver and women nourish the kidney. First of all, let's look at the role of the liver from the perspective of Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver stores blood and soul, which has the functions of hematopoiesis and storage. It is also an important detoxification organ of the body. Toxic substances absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract must be turned into non-toxic substances through the detoxification procedure of the liver, and then excreted through bile or urine. If the liver is overloaded for a long time, too many toxins in the body can't be eliminated in time, which is reflected in human skin, such as dull face and pigmentation. For men over 30 years old, protecting the liver is more important than tonifying the kidney. Now many men begin to gain weight when they cross the gate of 30, and go on healthily. They feel that their energy and expressive power are not as good as before, and they often can't find the reason, so the problems come and accumulate.
Anyone who pays a little attention to health care will know that 1: 00 to 3: 00 a.m. is the time when the liver meridian governs and the liver detoxifies. At this time, when people go down, blood will return to the liver to detoxify the human body. But look around, how many men still stay at home at night, drinking, playing cards and staying up late. . . With the increasing pressure of work and life, some men often get angry and hold their breath. After liver depression, these turbid qi will not be released, and liver yang will be more healthy.
What is the liver afraid of? The liver has five fears. When you are afraid of depression, Chinese medicine believes that the liver governs anger and you are happy and smooth. If a person is angry for a long time, qi will run upward. If a person happens to be depressed, then this person's anger will not be vented, which will be harmful to the liver for a long time. The second is fear of staying up late. Didn't I say that 1 till 3 am is the season when the liver governs? If you don't sleep, how can it rest, so it can't nourish blood. I'm afraid there are very few people who don't drink now, even if there are a few, but at work, friends can't help drinking at parties. If you don't sleep and alcohol, the workload of the liver will be great, and you can't detoxify well, so there are so many cirrhosis, alcoholic hepatitis and fatty liver. Speaking of fatty liver, the fourth fear is coming, and the liver is afraid of obesity. The fat that cannot be decomposed in the body remains in the liver. Fatty liver can't run away for a long time, and it will develop into liver cancer in severe cases. Last fear, fear of drugs. Nowadays, many western medicines do great harm to the liver, and some even exceed the previous "four fears". I will give some examples of western medicine harmful to the liver in the future to let everyone know.
I always thought that raising kidneys was a man's business, not a woman's, but it was not. Let's talk about puffiness first Many women begin to gain weight at a certain age, and the meat is soft at the touch. They are still wondering why they are so fat without eating much. Even if their diet is reduced to a minimum, drinking cold boiled water will make them fat. This is kidney deficiency and kidney deficiency. For young women, they have unique psychological characteristics of menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, lactation and leucorrhea, and they use kidney essence and yin blood. Therefore, kidney essence and yin blood are easily consumed and lost in women. It can be seen that women should cherish the symptoms of kidney deficiency and need to tonify the kidney! Kidney is the foundation of congenital, which has four functions: storing sperm, producing marrow, filtering poison and regulating endocrine. It is the source of human health, handsomeness and qi and blood biochemistry. It is the most nervous organ of women and plays an irreplaceable role in women's growth, development and reproduction. During pregnancy, the essence in the kidney and the blood in the liver have a tense effect on nourishing the fetus in the abdomen, but they are simply damaged in the process of nourishing, and there are meridians and collaterals, which makes the kidney essence and yin blood lose more.
Therefore, many female friends have obvious signs of aging before the age of 30, and the aging speed is faster than that of men. Most women will have various spots on their faces to varying degrees after giving birth, especially chloasma. According to the clinical examination of traditional Chinese medicine, the tension of this phenomenon is due to kidney deficiency. Anemia caused by kidney deficiency makes turbid gas in the blood float, deposit and form spots. Only by tonifying kidney and nourishing blood and benefiting essence and blood can skin spots gradually fade away. In addition, insomnia, dreaminess, fatigue, waist and knee pain and other symptoms are typical manifestations of anemia. In short, female kidney deficiency leads to endocrine confusion, persecution of hematopoietic efficacy, deficiency of both qi and blood, mental exhaustion and numerous diseases! Therefore, it is very important for women to consciously tonify, protect and nourish the kidney! Of course, women will also have kidney deficiency, but it is also necessary to tonify the kidney.
