Time: 7 o'clock -9 o'clock

Corresponding meridian: stomach meridian

Tip: To nourish your stomach, eat breakfast on time. If you don't feed your stomach every morning, you are prone to stomach problems and digestive tract ulcers. ...

When the stomach meridian is in season, it means that the stomach meridian is in season from 7: 00 to 9: 00.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the stomach is an organ for storing diet, known as the "sea of water and grain", and is the source of nutrients produced by the activities of the five internal organs. Its physiological functions include:

■ The Lord accepts and corrupts Shui Gu.

The stomach is in charge of reception and spoils Shui Gu. Acceptance means acceptance and accommodation. Shui Gu is absorbed in the stomach, and under the constant peristalsis of the stomach and the evaporation of yang in the stomach, Shui Gu becomes chyme, which is beneficial to further digestion and absorption. This process is called maturity in Chinese medicine. (The Shui Gu function of stomach's acceptance and decomposition must be coordinated with the function of spleen's transportation and transformation. Without the normal operation of the spleen and stomach, the digestion and absorption function of diet can not be carried out normally, and the growth, development and metabolism of human body will have no material source. )

■ The main pass is reduced to sum.

After the stomach has completed the acceptance and decomposition of Shui Gu, it will also transfer the preliminarily digested food to the small intestine, where it will complete the absorption of food essence. Therefore, the stomach must also have the function of downward transmission of food-the main lifting function. After the essence is absorbed, the rest goes down the large intestine to form stool and is excreted.

Lifting is an important part of the physiological function of the stomach, which is called "healthy harmony" in Chinese medicine. If the gastrointestinal imbalance is healthy and the diet stays in the stomach, there will be symptoms such as epigastric swelling and pain, and there is no desire to eat; If the stomach gas goes up, nausea, vomiting, belching and hiccups will occur. In addition, the failure of stomach qi will also affect the clearing effect of spleen.

The benefits of drinking water at dawn mainly include the following points:

1, add water.

The human body will consume a lot of water from urine, skin and breath when sleeping at night, and it will be in a physiological water shortage state at dawn. The human body loses about 450 ml of water in one night. Drinking water in the morning can replenish the water lost by body metabolism.

2, gastric lavage.

At this time, the gastrointestinal tract has been emptied, so drinking water can wash and clean the gastrointestinal tract, dilute gastric acid, reduce the irritation to the stomach, and keep the gastrointestinal tract in the best condition.

3. Clear your mind.

The water drunk in the morning can be quickly absorbed into the blood by intestinal mucosa, which can effectively increase the solubility of blood, dilute blood, reduce blood viscosity, promote blood circulation, prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, and also make people's brains quickly recover to a sober state.

4. Beauty. Beauty.

Replenish water to the body in the morning, so that water can be transported to the whole body quickly, which is helpful for blood circulation, and can also help the body expel toxins from the body, moisturize the skin and make the skin moist.

Healthy drinking water should start from the beginning. Drinking water in the morning is good for your health. Modern medicine believes that water is an important part of human tissues, and 60% of the adult's body weight is water, and the metabolism in the body needs water to complete. So we can say that water is the "dew" of life.

How should I drink this glass of water?

Since the first glass of water is so important, we should pay attention to it, not just drink one glass of water, because we should carefully examine how to drink this glass of water. Drink a cup of fresh boiled water. Drinking fresh boiled water in the morning is the best choice. Boiling water is boiled from natural water after multi-layer purification. Microorganisms in water have been killed by high temperature, and calcium and magnesium in boiling water are very beneficial to health. Studies have shown that hard water containing elements such as calcium and magnesium can prevent cardiovascular diseases.

But many people think that drinking light salt water in the morning is good for health, so it is wrong to drink light salt water in the morning. Drinking light salt water is really good for your health, but you need to replenish water after sweating in summer, but it is not good to replenish water in the morning, and sometimes it is harmful to some special people. Studies show that people don't drink water during the whole night's sleep, but breathing, perspiration and urination are still going on, and these physiological activities consume a lot of water. If you get up in the morning and drink some boiled water, you can quickly dilute the blood and correct hypertonic dehydration at night. On the contrary, drinking salt water will aggravate hypertonic dehydration and make people more thirsty. What's more, morning is the first peak of human blood pressure rise, and drinking salt water will make blood pressure higher. Therefore, getting up in the morning and drinking a cup of fresh boiled water is good for your health. Don't drink. It is best not to drink juice, cola, soda, coffee, milk and other drinks in the first glass of water when you get up in the morning. Most carbonated drinks such as soda and cola contain citric acid, which will accelerate the excretion of calcium in metabolism and reduce the content of calcium in blood. Long-term drinking will lead to calcium deficiency. Other drinks have diuretic effect. Drinking them in the morning can not only effectively replenish the water that the body lacks, but also increase the body's demand for water, which will cause water shortage in the body.

When drinking water in the morning, it is best to drink boiled water at room temperature.

Do not drink cold water. Some people like to drink cold water in the refrigerator after getting up in the morning, which is very refreshing. In fact, it is not appropriate to drink such water in the morning, because the gastrointestinal tract has been emptied at this time, and too cold or too hot water will stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

Therefore, when drinking water in the morning, it is best to drink boiled water at room temperature. When it is cold, you can drink warm water to minimize the irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. It is found that boiled water cooled to 20~25℃ has specific biological activity, which can easily penetrate cell membrane, promote metabolism and enhance human immune function. People who are used to drinking warm and cold boiled water have higher deoxyenzyme activity in their bodies, good metabolism, less accumulation of lactic acid in muscle tissues and are not easy to feel tired.

Eating breakfast in the morning is easy to digest, but it is not easy to get fat. It refers to 7 ~ 9 am, when the stomach is in season. Eating breakfast at this time is to supplement nutrition. At this time, the sun is the most abundant in the world, so eating breakfast is the easiest time to digest. Eating too much breakfast won't make you fat. Because there are spleen meridians and stomach meridians moving, you must eat more and eat well for breakfast.

So it is wrong for some people to skip breakfast in order to lose weight. Kindergarten usually has breakfast at 8 o'clock in the morning. But many students often go to school without breakfast, which deserves parents' attention.

In addition, some nine-to-five office workers seldom eat breakfast, or the quality of breakfast is not good. Over time, these people are depressed and look bad. Many people blame poor sleep the night before, but it has a lot to do with not eating breakfast that day.

For women, skipping breakfast will lead to deficiency of qi and blood in stomach channels, leading to dry skin, wrinkles and anemia, and accelerating aging.

If you don't eat breakfast for a long time, digestive tract ulcers are easy to find you.

Therefore, it should be a "compulsory" course for both office workers and parents to get up early for a quarter of an hour every day and prepare a quality breakfast for themselves or their children.

It is a good choice to press the stomach meridian 1 hour after meals, which can start the "power generation system" of the human body and regulate the gastrointestinal function of the human body.

Eat warm food for breakfast to nourish the stomach. Nowadays, many people like to drink cold boiled water to relieve constipation after waking up in the morning, or drink vegetable juice, saying that this can directly absorb nutrients from vegetables, clean up waste, and some even drink carbonated drinks. People's qi and blood will be warm, and when it is cold, it will condense. Eating and drinking cold food in the morning will definitely make the various systems in the body contract more and the blood circulation worse. So the first bite of food in the morning should be warm food.

Specifically, breakfast should be based on whole grains, which is not suitable for eating meat. Generally speaking, it is most appropriate to have breakfast 30 minutes after getting up. Breakfast should be accompanied by hot porridge, hot oatmeal, hot tofu, hot soybean milk and sesame paste, as well as a small amount of vegetables, bread and fruit.
