People with qi deficiency are often characterized by weak voice, emaciation or obesity, pale face, shortness of breath, laziness, listlessness, fatigue and fatigue, and frequent spontaneous sweating, especially when exercising, with pale tongue, teeth marks on the edge of the tongue, white fur and weak pulse. People with qi deficiency usually have insufficient vitality, weak breath and low viscera function, so health preservation focuses on replenishing vitality. Kidney is the root of vitality, and spleen is the source of anger, so invigorating qi for qi deficiency focuses on invigorating spleen and kidney. Next, I will introduce how to cultivate vitality to keep fit from several aspects.

(1) Combine work and rest to avoid overwork.

"Fatigue hurts vitality", and excessive fatigue will lead to qi and blood disorder and viscera imbalance. Therefore, people with qi deficiency should pay attention to rest, ensure a good sleep and avoid staying up late to get sick. However, it is not advisable to sit still for a long time, which is harmful to qi. Therefore, you should exercise moderately to circulate qi and blood, promote spleen and stomach transport, nourish limbs and bones, promote metabolism and maintain normal physiological functions of the body.

(2) Beware of exogenous factors and prevent colds.

People with qi deficiency constitution are intolerant of wind, cold, dampness and heat, and are particularly prone to catching a cold. In daily life, we should pay attention to shelter from the wind and cold, and prevent sweat from being the wind and foreign evils from invading. When the weather changes dramatically and the seasons alternate, special attention should be paid to preventing colds. If you do it well in spring, don't cut your clothes too early. In summer, on the one hand, we should pay attention to clearing away heat and dampness, prevent sweating and thirst, and consume gas in body fluids, and we should not be too greedy and cool, and blow less air conditioners. Reduce outdoor exercise and sweating in winter to prevent colds.

(1) Strengthening the spleen and benefiting qi: It is an important health-preserving means for people with qi deficiency to strengthen the spleen and kidney, benefit qi and nourish yin by adjusting diet. Recommended foods are as follows: japonica rice, glutinous rice, coix seed, naked oats, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cowpeas and white lentils; Mushrooms, yam, Euryale ferox, jujube; Chestnuts and water chestnuts; Honey and ginseng; Beef, chicken, crucian carp, perch, etc.

(2) both qi and blood: Chinese medicine believes that "qi is the handsome of blood, and blood is the mother of qi". Blood provides nutrients for the functional activities of qi. When the blood volume is sufficient, qi will flourish, while when the blood volume is insufficient, qi will decline. Therefore, it is often better to supplement both qi and blood. Common foods for invigorating qi and blood are soybean, peanut, hazelnut kernel, beef, donkey meat, eel, octopus, catfish and mandarin fish.

The spleen governs the limbs, and exercise is beneficial to the spleen and stomach, so that qi and blood can reach the whole body and fully nourish all parts of the body, which is beneficial to the generation of qi and can improve the constitution of qi deficiency. Lack of exercise will lead to weakness of limbs muscles, slow metabolism, stagnation of qi and blood, and impaired temper.

People with qi deficiency are physically weak, "overwork hurts the spleen", and excessive exercise can lead to fatigue, cough and asthma, dizziness and other adverse reactions. Therefore, people with qi deficiency are not suitable for large-scale physical exercise, but for moderate sports, such as walking, jogging, Tai Ji Chuan, Taiji sword and Baduanjin. Through these exercises, they can keep fit, benefit the spleen and moisten the lungs, strengthen the kidney, strengthen the bones and muscles, and gradually improve their physical condition. You can also use sitting training to promote the biochemistry of qi and blood and enhance the function of viscera.

The exercise of people with qi deficiency should follow the basic principles of "low intensity, multiple times, doing according to one's ability, enough is enough, step by step, and sticking to the most important". The time of each exercise should not be too long, the intensity should not be too great, and it should be "tired and tireless". Exercise in the morning or at night, avoid sweating too much, prevent the gas from dissipating with sweat, and it is easy to catch a cold and consume energy when being blown by the wind.

People with qi deficiency are often weak in spleen, lung and kidney function, and lack of healthy qi. Therefore, meridian health care is based on the principle of tonifying qi and blood, giving lung and qi, invigorating spleen and qi, warming kidney and receiving qi. You can often press or moxibustion points such as Qihai, Zusanli, Zhongshan and Shenque. Rubbing the abdomen after a meal or before going to bed is conducive to the normal play of the function of transporting and transforming the spleen. Kneading the waist can strengthen kidney qi.

People with qi deficiency tend to think too much, and "thinking leads to qi stagnation", which leads to stagnation of temper and deficiency of qi and blood. Therefore, people with qi deficiency should clean up and raise Tibet, get rid of other thoughts, don't be restless and think less. Participate in beneficial social activities, communicate with people and cultivate an open-minded and optimistic attitude towards life. Don't be overworked, avoid being overly nervous, and keep a steady and peaceful mind.

This is a small method of health care for people with qi deficiency. Have you learned?
