Lily, 24, curled up on the sofa, listening to her grandmother's words, afraid to answer back. She could only shrink the blanket silently. It was noon and it was sunny outside, but she felt a chill and her hands and feet were cold. At this point, she felt remorse inside.
It's all caused by youth. When she was young, Lily ate ice cream and wore a skirt in winter, and turned a deaf ear to Grandma Sun's advice. At that time, grandma said that she would regret it in the future, and her body would be cold for life. However, she didn't believe in evil, but she kept eating ice until she went to college.
Years of habits have chilled Lily. She has hurt herself. Now I have diarrhea after eating cold dishes, and I dare not wear too thin clothes in summer. Her hands and feet are cold at night and it is difficult for her to sleep.
No, the situation has deteriorated recently, and I can't even go to work. Lily thought anxiously: what is "cold" and how can it hurt her?
As we all know, the temperature of nature changes with the rising and setting of the sun. Due to the lack of light, it is very hot during the day and very cold at night. From a physical point of view, any object has a temperature whether it has sunlight or not, and the human body is no exception. People often hear "cold enters the body" and "cold hurts the body" every day. The temperature of this cold is different from that of that one.
Everyone has heard of the word "vitality". Chinese medicine believes that there is qi in the human body, and qi is the core of the human body. It will produce cold when it is quiet and heat when it is active. Therefore, cold means that the human body lacks vitality and is prone to illness.
Cold in the human body can also be divided into internal cold and external cold, in which internal cold is caused by the weakness of the human body, which will show symptoms such as whiteness, shortness of breath and fatigue, while external cold is caused by the invasion of cold into the human body, which disrupts the activity law of qi in the human body. At this time, in order to return to balance, the qi in the human body will "fight" with the invasion of cold from outside, but it will be manifested as heat syndrome, that is, cold evil enters the body and turns into heat.
Theoretically speaking, women are more likely to catch a cold because of their natural constitution of yin deficiency, so there is a saying that "ten women catch cold". Once they catch cold, their blood circulation will be affected, leading to poor blood circulation, joint pain, gastritis, diarrhea and other symptoms. Even colds in different parts will have different external manifestations, which will affect fertility in severe cases and should not be underestimated.
As one of warm-blooded animals, it is normal for human beings to have heat, but once the body is cold or cold enters the body, it will inevitably hurt the body and endanger health, so we must avoid four habits that are easy to catch cold!
1. Stay up late
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, children are regarded as the peak of yin exuberance and yang decline, that is, between 1 1 in the evening and 1 in the morning, yin is the most abundant, which is the best time for human sleep. At this time, staying up late will lead to cold entering the body and disrupt the sleep law of human body. In the long run, frostbite will become the cause of disease.
2. Have a cold diet
Miao doctors prevailing in some parts of China believe that plants in nature are divided into cold and heat, and plants and plant fruits are the main sources of national food. Cold food is also one of the ways for people to catch cold, especially modern people like to eat cold fruits and fruit products, which increases the frequency of exposure to cold.
3. Too tired
The movement of qi in human body is regular, and the regulation of human body's constant temperature also has an adjustment mechanism. Once you are in a state of high load and pressure for a long time, your body consumes too much, the movement of qi is disrupted, and the temperature regulation mechanism is disordered, which will lead to weakness and colds. Generally, people who feel cold due to overwork will have symptoms such as bad temper, memory loss, indigestion, restless sleep and general fatigue.
4. Keeping warm is not in place
Just like Lily in the story, many young people don't keep warm in pursuit of "coolness" and "beauty". Eating ice in winter and exposing your ankles in the cold wind will give the cold a chance to enter the body, which will become an opportunity for cold in the long run.
People often say that cold hurts the body. In fact, people who have a cold for a long time will have some external symptoms, which are easy to distinguish. Compared with ordinary people, people with cold body are the most prominent.
As mentioned above, the qi in the human body is in a state of balance under normal circumstances, and occasionally the imbalance between yin and yang will be quickly restored under the adjustment of the law of activity. However, it is not easy to recover after the invasion of cold pathogen, and it will also consume yang, resulting in decreased metabolic function, chills in limbs, gastrointestinal discomfort, and poor breathing. , and become the cause of many diseases, especially in the female population, it is easy to induce gynecological diseases, such as irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, severe infertility and so on.
People with cold body usually have five characteristics: cold hands and feet, abdominal pain and diarrhea, soreness of waist, legs, shoulders and neck, increased nocturia, and edema of legs and feet. This is because cold air hurts joints, spleen and stomach, liver and kidney. If not treated in time, it is easy to leave the root of the disease, so we must pay attention to it.
In life, the most common type of body cold is external cold, especially under the influence of modern diet, external cold is more common, so it is particularly important to learn to drive away cold. These four methods are shared with you!
First of all, we should take daily warm-keeping measures and consider environmental factors when wearing clothes. Keep warm from head to toe and wear thick clothes in autumn and winter. Take a shower, dry your body, blow dry your hair, and then go to bed. Pay attention to rubbing your abdomen in your spare time to keep warm.
Secondly, the diet should be mainly warm food, and the drinks should be mainly warm boiled water and warm drinks. Food should also be hot, and try to avoid cold food, especially in autumn and winter. There is no need to be greedy for a moment.
Third, we should get more sunshine. After catching a cold, we can drink ginger soup to drive away the cold. If the cold syndrome is serious, moxibustion can be considered to drive away the cold. However, if diseases are involved, you should go to a regular hospital for treatment, and then consider maintenance measures after recovery.
Finally, we should plan to exercise regularly. Exercise is the best way to enhance qi and blood activities in the body, and it is also an important way to enhance human vitality. Generally, aerobic exercise should be carried out 3-5 times a week for 30-60 minutes each time, and the effect is good.
As the saying goes, "All diseases start from the cold", and the influence of cold pathogens on the body should not be underestimated. People should pay attention to body cold, learn to drive away cold and keep warm, nourish yang, and maintain their health with actions!
