Huang Xianming's concept of dantian can actually explain several problems: Why can't I lose weight after dieting and exercise? Even if you lose weight, your lower abdomen and waistline will not lose weight. Why is it difficult for me to recover after injury, and my bones and muscles are prone to deviation? Why is it still difficult for me to reply after a long rest? Is it old? Chinese medicine says I'm wasting my time, but it's easy to get angry after taking tonic. Is it empty not to make up for it? The concept of Dantian is a combination of traditional Chinese medicine, internal training, traumatology, clinical observation and discussion with peers. I will try my best to popularize science in an intuitive way. My own experience, the same person is strange. Definition: "Dantian" is the most dense place where meridians converge. Specifically, it is a basin pattern with the meeting as the bottom and about 3 inches below the navel as the upper end. Dantian is also related to pelvic floor muscles and core muscles, especially pelvic floor muscles. Therefore, from the perspective of traumatology, I will judge whether Dantian is injured by palpation of pelvic floor tension. What happens to your body when you are tired? First, we concretize human meridians and qi and blood (energy) into a balloon and its gas. Strictly speaking, when a person feels tired, it is not a simple decrease in qi and blood, but a decrease in the "pressure" (density) of qi and blood. What does this mean? It means that when the body tells us to have a rest, we have to "hold on" when we encounter more than a dozen crises: we have to continue working, stay up late studying and even play video games; In order to maintain physical strength, the body will respond: "collapse." Isn't it intuitive? Air pressure is: number of gas molecules/space volume. When the gas is reduced, the space volume must be reduced to maintain the density. As we mentioned just now, density is a force-related factor. In order to keep the same inflation, we make the balloon smaller and fill it with less gas. Whenever we tell ourselves to "hold on a little longer", that's how the body handles the crisis. Elastic fatigue is irreversible. Fortunately, meridians are elastic. If you can go back to bed and have a good sleep after dealing with the crisis, the qi and blood supplemented by rest will restore the original capacity of the temporarily collapsed meridians. Unless we repeatedly "hold on for a while" and "hold on for a while" ..... until the meridians are tired of elasticity, one day the collapsed meridians cannot be restored to their original state after recuperation. To make a quantitative analogy, suppose that the total capacity of meridians to contain qi and blood is 100 unit, but after a long crisis, meridians collapse, leaving 60% of the original capacity. This means that no matter how you recuperate, the total amount of blood that the human body can recover is about 60% of the original, unless we take the initiative to repair it. Take a video game as an example. It seems that HP was originally 100/ 100. Generally speaking, when attacked, it may become 87/ 100, and it will recover after a short rest. However, after internal injury or poisoning, it may become 56/60, and then how to take medicine to recuperate, the highest can only be restored to 60 HP.

Because Tian Dan is the place where meridians meet, if Tian Dan is injured, the upper limit of total qi and blood will be affected. It will also affect the metabolism of the body. When metabolism drops, people will be easily tired, and no matter how they sleep, they will easily accumulate fat. Even if the weight remains the same or even decreases due to loss of appetite, body fat is easy to rise. Visceral function will also decline, such as gastrointestinal dysfunction, easy breathing, and memory loss ... This face looks ... There are several phenomena from the face: Risorius, whose skin color is dull or her cheeks are dark red and purple, begins to shrink, which leads to the shallow tissue on the upper edge of Risorius, the facial fascia wrapped under the eyes or dark circles can't hold up obviously, the decree lines are pressed inward, and the face is widened outward. This is to teach you how to see more than four doctors. Physically, there will be several changes: it is difficult to lose weight by exercising diligently. Exercise is easy to get hurt, and the coach will say that your core muscles are difficult to practice, and even if you succeed in fitness, it is difficult to lose weight. Although the weight of ethnic groups without exercise habits may not necessarily increase, the body index and waist circumference are easy to increase. This represents a gradual loss of muscle. Due to the loss of muscle mass, physical strength and metabolism decline, when you want to exercise, you return to the vicious circle of 1. Why does it affect sports? Because pelvic floor muscles are the basis of human fascia, they are as important as pelvis and arch. If the pelvic floor muscles are injured, it is easy for the limbs and trunk to move a few times. It hurts here and there, and the whole exercise efficiency plummets. If further internal injuries are caused, fatigue is easy to accumulate, and it is also easy to be mistaken for the "remodeling period" at the beginning of fitness. In fact, many fitness enthusiasts are also wondering why body fat is low enough and there is still a lower abdomen. This is because the body cavity is like a balloon, the position of the lower end (abdomen) of the balloon is clamped (collapsed), and the tissue at the lower end will inevitably overflow the pelvis to form a swimming ring (lower abdomen, saddle ...). Shortening the torsion of the spine will also make the waist circumference thicker. Is it not "old" to have a broken face, a thick waist, a swollen body and a weak body? Therefore, patients who want to lose weight in this state will get twice the result with half the effort by using the previous strategy of "suppressing appetite". Because you will gain weight if you don't eat much, what's the difference between reducing calorie intake? Rest is not enough. Dantian should be actively repaired to restore your metabolism and appetite. Remember, when it's time to eat without hunger (loss of appetite), dieting is hard to lose weight or even ugly. After the establishment of Tian Dan, you are less likely to get sore after exercise, your physical strength will recover faster, and your muscle gain and fat loss will be better. Traditionally, there are three ways to repair internal injuries: acupuncture drugs, which are guided by promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals, benefiting qi and nourishing blood; In other words, they can coordinate the use of pelvic floor and core muscles by external muscles. Logically speaking, acupuncture is used alternately to expand the collapsed meridians, inject drugs into the meridians to support them, and then use guidance to maintain the fluidity of the meridians. Maintain the circulation and growth of tendons. Objective: To restore social mobility. You can secretly go to the toilet to do a test: put your hands against the left and right perineum and lift the anus. As long as both perineum can shrink and swell hard and then reach the finger, it is qualified. If the following conditions are considered as unqualified: one side is slightly weak, but the other side still has a way of exerting force, but the buttocks and thighs are forcibly compensated, and the patient often feels sore when touching the perineum with his fingers, and the right side is more painful (related to the rotational inertia of the pelvis). Or the perineum is firm, but the surface skin is tight, which is caused by trauma and internal injuries. Need to solve the superficial fascia of limbs. Circulation and long-term care, communication and supplement are the major principles of health care and treatment. About the author: Huang Xianming, TCM, president of Zhenhui TCM clinic.
