As the "foundation of the day after tomorrow", how to preserve the spleen and stomach is also a science!
Spleen and stomach are fragile in autumn and winter.
The autumn climate is in the transitional stage of "Yang disappears and Yin grows". Due to the increasing temperature difference between day and night in autumn harvest season, fruits and vegetables increase, and the abdomen is easy to catch cold, which leads to abnormal spleen and stomach function. However, the increase of cold in autumn will also cause some people's mood fluctuations, thus affecting the function of the spleen and stomach. Due to the decline of self-resistance and adaptability to climate, symptoms such as acid regurgitation, abdominal distension and abdominal pain will appear.
In addition, if we don't pay attention to the nursing of living habits and diet, it is very likely to hurt the spleen and stomach, causing digestive system diseases such as chronic gastritis, ulcer and indigestion.
What are the manifestations of spleen deficiency?
1 The tongue coating has changed.
The change of tongue is the external manifestation of spleen. The surface of a healthy tongue should be red and look moist. There is a layer of tongue coating on the surface of the tongue, which is very light and clean.
If there are obvious tooth marks on the edge of the tongue, it means that there is something wrong with the body function.
Tongue coating is normal
White and thick tongue coating
If the tongue coating is white and thick, it looks smooth and moist, indicating that there is cold in the body. If the tongue coating is rough or thick and yellow and greasy, it means that there is damp heat in the body; If the tongue is red without coating, it means that the body is too hot to hurt the yin.
2 loss of appetite
Because in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, moisture enters the body and is most likely to hurt the spleen. The main function of the spleen is to digest and absorb various foods and liquids ingested in the body, and transform these substances into nutrients that can be used by the human body to provide new energy for human metabolism.
In a hot and humid environment, most people's appetite and digestive function will decline. But some people are very hungry, but they feel full after eating, which is also a sign of strong stomach and weak spleen.
3 getting up early is uncomfortable
Get up in the morning, if you feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness and brain swelling, it means that our spleen and stomach function is weak.
Chinese medicine believes that when spleen deficiency occurs, lung qi will fail first. In other words, the functions of the spleen and the lungs are interactive. When spleen deficiency reaches a certain level, it is easy to have lung deficiency, such as shortness of breath, and shortness of breath when moving.
4 High humidity
People with heavy moisture may also gain significant weight in a short time, and in severe cases, problems such as edema of lower limbs may occur.
90% of obese people are physically weak. Physical weakness is caused by the weakening of the spleen and stomach function of the body. Insufficient constitution will slow down metabolism and weaken the vitality of the body, thus reducing the ability to consume nutrients. If nutrients cannot be consumed, they will accumulate in the body and form obesity.
5 Abnormal defecation in toilet
If the stool is soft and sticky, it is a symptom of spleen dampness, indicating abnormal digestive function.
If you have any of the above five symptoms, be careful whether you have spleen deficiency.
Beginning of autumn nursed back to the spleen and stomach. At that time, he kept five principles in his diet.
0 1, dietary pattern
In dry autumn, the water in the body is particularly easy to evaporate, and the blood vessels in the body will be more fragile without water. Especially for patients with gastric ulcer, gastroptosis and gastrorrhagia, we should pay special attention to the law of diet and rest, so as not to increase the burden on the stomach and lead to the deterioration of the condition.
02, give priority to with light.
For some friends with weak spleen and stomach and indigestion, beginning of autumn should give priority to "light tonic", so choosing some light foods, such as eggplant, fresh lotus root, mung bean sprouts, loofah, cucumber, wax gourd and bitter gourd, has the effect of clearing heat and drying dampness.
03, eat medicated diet to dispel damp heat.
If people with weak spleen and stomach drink more medicated diet with the function of strengthening spleen and promoting diuresis, it will be of great benefit to their health. Such as coix seed and lentils.
04. Eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and stomach.
Poria cocos, Euryale euryales, yam, cowpea and millet all have the effects of invigorating the spleen and stomach. Therefore, medicated porridge is the best diet to regulate the spleen and stomach at this time. Drinking a bowl of porridge in the morning after beginning of autumn can cool autumn and prevent autumn dryness.
05. Eat less summer fruits.
As the saying goes, "autumn melons spoil your stomach." After autumn, although the weather is still very hot, the yang has gradually subsided. Eating a lot of raw fruits and vegetables at this time will definitely help damp evil, damage spleen yang and lead to spleen and stomach diseases such as diarrhea. Therefore, after beginning of autumn, we should be careful to eat fruits and vegetables, especially those with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold.
