Qi-blood imbalance: Qi deficiency, blood stasis ... Four nursing strategies of promoting blood circulation and qi circulation in traditional Chinese medicine
Causes of qi deficiency: overwork, overeating, excessive exercise, staying up late. Countermeasures: adequate sleep and normal eating habits Zhang, president of Jisheng Chinese medicine clinic, said that qi deficiency is usually caused by overwork and excessive brain use. Another reason that is easily overlooked is excessive exercise. Moderate exercise has a positive effect on body circulation, but excessive exercise consumes too much energy for the body to replenish. So it's enough to walk for about half an hour every day. Asthma like cattle or sweating just makes people weaker. Gluttony and staying up late are also the causes of qi deficiency. In modern society, it is easy for people to overeat to relieve stress. Wang Tong, a Chinese medicine practitioner, analyzed in The Method of Nourishing Qi and Blood: Wisdom of Chinese Medicine for All Diseases that overeating makes the stomach and intestines unable to bear too much "work burden", which in turn increases the burden of liver-assisted digestion and kidney excretion, and over time, it will start to be qi-deficient, and its function will decline. And staying up late or insomnia affects the quality of sleep, not only can not complete the task of repairing the body, but also can not replenish qi during sleep. In the face of qi deficiency, Zhang believes that improving sleep quality, normal eating habits, conditioning the stomach and invigorating qi can make major diseases small and minor diseases disappear. Causes of blood deficiency: malnutrition, poor gastrointestinal function and chronic bleeding. Countermeasures: Correctly supplement nutrition, regulate gastrointestinal function and endocrine. Zhang believes that the most common cause of blood deficiency is insufficient hematopoietic materials, including folic acid, iron and vitamin B 12. Among them, folic acid is the most in green vegetables, and iron and vitamin B 12 mostly come from animal meat. Therefore, long-term vegetarians should pay attention to the intake of the latter two nutrients. But it is not necessary to supplement iron for ischemia. Among the types of anemia, "spherical anemia" is caused by iron deficiency. If you feel that you are nutritionally balanced but still have blood deficiency, it may be because the nutrients you eat are not actually absorbed by your body, including the absorption function needs to be improved, or eating too much makes your stomach unbearable and your function lower. Another situation is that the body is suffering from chronic blood loss. Most women suffer from excessive menstrual bleeding, while most men suffer from gastric ulcer. Zhang pointed out that excessive menstruation is related to active female hormones. In addition to conditioning with traditional Chinese medicine, we should also avoid eating foods that can stimulate female hormones, such as cheese, hot food packaged in plastic products and articles containing environmental hormones such as nonylphenol, such as detergents. As for gastric ulcer, we should start with adjusting eating habits, regularly quantify, chew slowly and relieve stress.

Causes of qi stagnation: heavy work pressure, excessive brain use and bad eating habits. Countermeasures: clearly cut work and rest and adjust eating habits. Zhang said that most of the reasons for qi stagnation come from emotions and stress. Too demanding perfection, too much responsibility, too enterprising, too calculating and too much pressure will all cause qi stagnation. People with this personality often have problems with excessive brains. When they concentrate on thinking, their intestines and stomach will stop peristalsis. If you don't change for a long time, you will stagnate. Bad eating habits can also lead to qi stagnation. For example, eating too fast and swallowing directly without chewing a few mouthfuls will increase the burden on the stomach. It may be a bit difficult to change the perfectionist personality, but the daily routine can be clearly cut, and there is no need to be under pressure and overworked every minute. For example, when eating, the brain should be completely emptied, and don't start work for half an hour after eating. On the one hand, let the brain rest, temporarily put aside stress and negative emotions, let the stomach have room for digestion and absorption, and avoid bad eating habits and increase the burden on the body. Causes of blood stasis: eating out, too many sweets, too low activity. Blood stasis refers to poor blood flow or even blockage. Modern people's diet is high in oil and sugar, which is most likely to cause blood stasis. The former is the formation of blood lipids and fat accumulation in blood vessels, which thickens blood or blocks blood vessels; High blood sugar will also thicken the blood and make it more difficult to flow. Zhang believes that too much foreign food and western-style cakes are the biggest culprits, and if the oil quality is not good, it will destroy blood vessels and cause a series of inflammation and allergies. Therefore, foreign foodies choose steamed, boiled and low-temperature cooked food to reduce the heavy taste. At the same time, they should eat more raw materials than processed products, such as pork instead of meatballs, and reduce unnecessary additives. In addition, sedentary, standing for a long time and not exercising can also lead to blood stasis. For example, teachers or cabinet sisters often have edema of lower limbs because of standing for a long time. In addition to local * * *, put the foot pad higher when you sleep at night, and you also need exercise at ordinary times to help promote qi circulation and blood circulation.
