1, how to test your health by looking in the mirror?
Both female friends and male friends have the habit of looking in the mirror, hoping to show their best side to others. Do you know that looking in the mirror can predict your health?
Experts point out that wrong standing posture means weak muscle strength or joint problems. Light will increase people's physical load, easy to fatigue, and heavy will lead to frequent falls and have to be prevented.
Through observation, we can find the weakness of the body and carry out some simple functional training. First, stand in front of the mirror naturally and observe your standing posture. Normal people should stick their hands on both sides of their bodies, with their thumbs forward and the back of their hands invisible from the front; Feet shoulder width apart, toes facing forward. If you can see the back of your hand from the front, it means that the muscles around the scapula are weak and the back muscles are stiff, which is easy to cause rickets and shoulder pain. If the toes are upturned, it means that the gluteal muscles are stiff. In both cases, it is easy to increase the chance of falling.
People with stiff back muscles should lie on their side, press a tennis ball under their ribs, push it back and forth, find the tenderness point, stop when you find it, and swing your arms up and down. People with weak scapular muscles should lie prone, lift their arms back, tighten their scapula, expand their chest, then relax, regain their posture and do it several times. People with stiff gluteal muscles can sit in a chair, press a tennis ball in the center of gluteal muscles, push it back and forth to find the tender point, stop after finding it, open the knees alternately inside and outside, and do it several times repeatedly.
Look sideways at the mirror and observe with the corner of your eye. As shown in the figure, the ears, shoulders, hips and ankles are in a straight line, indicating that your body is normal. Otherwise, it means that the muscle strength of the thigh root is weak, or the muscles of the inner thigh are stiff and easy to fall.
For people with muscle weakness at the root of the thigh, stand with your feet together, put your hands on your waist or akimbo, stand firm with one foot, lift the other thigh 90 degrees, keep your posture for 30 seconds, and then change your legs. People with stiff inner thigh muscles can step on the steps with one foot, straighten the other leg, lean forward, stretch the inner thigh muscles, keep posture for 30 seconds, and then change legs.
2, look in the mirror to diagnose health.
First, the face: Is the qi and blood smooth?
The color of the face is expressed by the injection of qi and blood into the face through meridians, and the rise and fall of qi and blood and its operation will certainly be reflected from the complexion.
Flushing: There may be something wrong with the heart.
It is not a good thing for people whose faces are often as red as babies. In particular, we need to pay attention to the health of the heart. For example, people with angina pectoris and myocardial infarction, or people with potential causes of these diseases, are mostly red in the face. When the body's blood circulation is not smooth, it will make the body's heat imbalance, causing the upper body to be hot and the lower body to be cold. At the same time, the legs are prone to excessive water accumulation, showing edema symptoms. If the heart can't work normally, it will cause uneven heat distribution in the body, which is easy to make facial flushing.
Long spots on the face: beware of gynecological diseases
Long spots on the face, in addition to pregnancy and oral contraceptives, more often reflect some female endocrine disorders, such as irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, adnexitis, infertility and so on. Traditional Chinese medicine calls adult female facial spots "liver spots", and thinks that people with liver depression and qi stagnation are prone to facial spots, that is to say, emotional abnormality is directly related to the formation and aggravation of facial spots. Therefore, emotional regulation is the key to prevent and treat facial pigmentation.
The doctor warned:
Yellowing is a sign of spleen deficiency. If the face suddenly turns yellow, it is probably a sign of poor liver and gallbladder function. Patients with acute icteric hepatitis, gallstones, acute cholecystitis, liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, etc. Frequently send out the above-mentioned "yellow 4534535aaa color alarm";
Black face is the manifestation of kidney deficiency, so you should eat more foods that tonify the kidney, such as walnuts, black sesame seeds and medlar.
Second, the teeth: reflect the kidney bone.
Chinese medicine has a saying that "the kidney produces marrow, the main bone, and the tooth is bone". The condition of teeth not only indicates the bone health of the whole body, but also has a close relationship with the kidneys. If the teeth or bones are poorly developed, the renal function is usually unsatisfactory.
Red and swollen gums: gastritis or fatigue
Chinese medicine regards the gums as a part of the stomach, so if the gums appear red and swollen, we must first doubt whether there is inflammation in the stomach. If the teeth become loose at the same time, accompanied by strong bad breath and other symptoms, it means periodontal disease. The cause of periodontal disease is not only insufficient calcium intake or unclean brushing, but also related to the decline of immunity caused by excessive fatigue.
Gum bleeding: bad stomach and intestines
The situation that gums are prone to bleeding will not only happen to patients with gingivitis or periodontal disease, but also to people with bad stomachs who brush their teeth. When the stomach is bad, the blood vessels become fragile due to insufficient digestion and absorption capacity, and the microvessels will rupture as long as they are slightly stimulated. Strong teeth need to be built on the basis of good gastrointestinal absorption function, so if you want to have a healthy and beautiful tooth, you must first start from strengthening your stomach.
The doctor warned:
No matter how much you cherish your teeth, you will still get cavities. Be careful at this time, which indicates general weakness. Especially menopausal women are prone to osteoporosis.
Third, eyes: reflecting liver problems
When there is something wrong with the liver, there are usually changes in the face and eyes, such as blue face, tired eyes, decreased vision, yellowing eyes and tears.
Yellow eyes: indicating that there is something wrong with the liver and gallbladder.
If there is too much bile secreted in the blood, there will be symptoms of yellow eyes. This is because bile itself is a yellow-green liquid, secreted by liver cells and stored in the gallbladder, which helps to decompose excess fat in the body. When the function of gallbladder or liver is not normal, it will cause bile blockage and retention, so that bile that should be sent to gallbladder by liver through bile duct leaks out and flows into blood, which will lead to yellow eyes. This is why the eyes and skin of hepatitis patients are yellow.
Ptosis: Beware of anemia.
If the blood vessels on the eye mucosa are too light and almost invisible, it may mean anemia. Women are more prone to anemia because of their special physiological period. So, you'd better keep your eyelids open in front of the mirror and have a good check. In addition, anemia can be judged by symptoms such as dizziness, palpitation, wheezing, dry and dull skin after a little exercise, hair loss and fragile nails.
Eyelid edema: poor water metabolism
Even if you don't drink a lot of water before going to bed, some people always find their eyelids swollen when they get up in the morning. This situation is the result that the water regulation function in the body cannot work normally. There are many reasons for water metabolism disorder, such as decreased renal function or gastrointestinal function, heart disease and so on. Where is the problem? We need to judge the symptoms of the whole body. If the eyelids are swollen, it is easy to get tired, dry mouth and poor urination, which may be the decline of renal function.
The doctor warned:
Sometimes there are yellow and white pimples on the eyelids, which will not cause pain. This is because excess fat is accumulated in the body. This symptom is probably a signal of high cholesterol in the body.
If you have a sty on your eyelid, it will remind you that you are under too much pressure, lack of sleep, too much fat and protein, and too little vegetables and fruits, so you need symptomatic treatment.
