Bigu, also called Broken Valley, Juegu and Sparrow Valley, literally means not to eat whole grains. Begging for Valley originated in the pre-Qin period and was popular in the Jin and Tang Dynasties. After the establishment of Taoism, this health preserving technology was inherited and developed.
There are three kinds of traditional techniques, namely, using qi to break the valley, using water to break the valley, and using medicine to break the valley. It is believed that the human body can obtain life energy from "qi" and can maintain life activities without taking medicine;
The combination of taking water to ward off the valley, nourishing the spirit, promoting the circulation of qi, stabilizing the body, swallowing body fluids, blessing words (equivalent to "witch doctors"), drinking porridge and taking the bait has a certain religious color; Taking medicine (bait) to avoid rice is the most important and commonly used method to take high-nutrition, indigestible drugs or foods such as nuts and pills instead of whole grains to regulate body functions.
It is still popular to keep in good health, and people who believe in it even regard it as a "panacea", so some extreme cases often appear in newspapers. They either fainted because of the imbalance of water and liquid metabolism caused by crossing the valley, or refused all nutrition when they were seriously ill, which made their condition worse. Modern research has confirmed that it can really promote the development of the valley to some extent.
The decomposition of body fat helps to expel toxins, purify blood, protect blood vessels and improve immunity. However, some health care institutions or weight loss institutions use this as a gimmick, under the guise of scientific health care, to induce some people to carry out inappropriate health care.
Even in order to prolong life, prevent and treat diseases, lose weight and reduce blood fat, I went to the mountains and forests to "starve", and as a result, my body became weak and even coma, blood pressure dropped, coma and so on. This is very undesirable.
As a life-prolonging regimen, it is not a hunger strike, let alone a simple hunger strike. Otherwise, it will deviate from the ancient principles of health preservation and damage health. The practice of breaking grain recorded in ancient books is to avoid or reduce the intake of cereals, meat and other foods, which is actually a health preservation method to improve the diet structure.
Scientific health-keeping techniques should pay attention to the diet rules of matching meat and vegetables, conforming to nature, and avoiding reality and being empty. Generally speaking, you should gradually reduce your food intake at first. In order to avoid excessive hunger, eat some liquid food in the middle. If you don't want to go out for a while, you can resume your normal diet. The key to health care is to limit food intake, and it is not recommended to "completely practice".
Strong people can choose not to eat one day a week, only drink water and honey, supplemented by multivitamins; People with average physique can choose to eat less than one day a week and eat a small amount of high-protein and high-fat food or medicine instead of daily whole grains to nourish qi and blood, such as walnuts, almonds, chestnuts and jujubes.
The ancients commonly used Poria cocos, Polygonatum sibiricum, Asparagus, Atractylodes macrocephala, Ginseng, honey and so on. Make into pill or ointment instead of daily diet. It is better for people who are weak to keep healthy by changing their diet structure, rather than reducing their food intake.
During the valley break, we should also pay attention to maintaining physical and mental comfort, not smoking, drinking, drinking tea, chewing slowly, drinking a small amount of water, and not eating hard and spicy food. It is best to have a professional teacher or doctor to guide you, rather than practicing blindly alone, and don't rush.
People's Network-Health preservation is not about starvation, but about limiting food intake since ancient times, rather than not eating without food.
