In August 2020, I met Chen Shi. We haven't seen each other for four or five years.
Since childhood, Chen Shi has been well versed in Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and Yi in the East, practiced life science, and comprehensively integrated the acupuncture medical system of traditional Chinese medicine.
When we met again, I didn't even say hello, so I directly asked a question that has puzzled me for many years: Why do I feel that my body can't benefit from so many tonics? As the saying goes, I just don't think I can make up for it!
He said: the spleen and stomach have insufficient gasification ability, and they all eat for nothing. I asked: What should I do? He replied: wear cotton trousers.
Huh? !
This sentence made me dumbfounded.
This has something to do with cotton trousers? Why?
The teacher smiled and said nothing. Then say: try it, don't wear cotton trousers, don't recuperate!
After returning home, I acted immediately and ordered a pair of long-staple cotton trousers in Xinjiang according to the teacher's request. The teacher was afraid that I was hot, so she gave me half a catty. I heard wrong and bought half a catty. As a result, I found that the thick one is actually more suitable for people with cold constitution, and this one is also the one I wear the most times. )

Put it on when you sleep the first night. My husband said you were crazy to wear this in Shenzhen in August! Haha, ignore him. I said, I'll take it off when it's hot. As a result, I slept soundly all night. Don't say, not only is it not the sticky and warm feeling you imagined in your mind, but it is warm, soft and safe.
I wore it for about a week, but I didn't wear it all night. In the middle of the night, my legs were sore and swollen. I got up with the light on and put it on, and then I fell asleep peacefully.
I wore it for about two weeks, and one day I gave a class to my members. Everyone said that my legs were thin, and I didn't care much about the weight, so I went to weigh myself after class. Oh, my God, six or seven pounds are missing. Do these cotton trousers still have the function of stovepipe and reducing fat? !

When I saw Mr. Chen again, I asked another question: Why do you lose your legs when you wear cotton trousers? He replied: this is the root of breaking the cold. I asked: Why do you have to have cotton trousers? How about woolen pants? How about down pants? How about cashmere pants? He replied: Modern people live in air-conditioned winters (subways, offices, public places) and suffer from cold almost all the time. In addition, I can't dress, wear shorts, short skirts, tops and slippers, live in "artificial winter", eat and drink the sea, hurt my spleen and stomach, and freeze my hips and legs. So as long as you wear it, it's better than nothing, but in terms of effect, wearing cotton trousers is the best.
Because cotton trousers achieve two functions: one is to keep warm and cold; Second, dredge dispersion.
These two points should be analyzed from the attributes and functions of cotton.
First, the warm-keeping function of cotton. Cotton can keep warm to the greatest extent in a warm way. In the structure of cotton, warmth is not easy to lose, but it is always there. There are two mentioned temperatures, one is the scientific temperature, and the other is the mild nature of culture.
Second, the role of cotton dispersion. The cold that has accumulated in the lower limbs needs strong dissipation ability. This ability is the strongest in cotton. It doesn't matter whether it can be melted or dispersed. Being able to dissolve powder is an inherent function of human body. It is the best gift to use the gas of cotton and the same gas to find the solution and cultivate the body's own ability to disperse.
Third, the relaxed function of cotton. As far as the material itself is concerned, cotton is easy and down is easy, but down is not as easy as cotton. This is the difference. Hard ones will sink, and loose ones will be light. Are your legs heavy or light? Is it hard or loose? You can check yourself by touching. After wearing cotton trousers for several years, my legs have become soft.
Fourth, the breathable function of cotton. When you get warm, the cold begins to melt. There are several phenomena of freezing and opening. One is to turn into gas, that is, expand; One is melting into water, and that is expansion; One is getting wet, and that is itching. The breathable function of cotton can effectively release moisture without covering it back. After wearing cotton trousers for several years, my legs itch less.
Fifth, the most easily overlooked and crucial thing is the speed at which cotton is converted into heat! We did a test once. In winter in the north, two people (one wearing wool trousers and the other wearing cotton trousers) stay outdoors for the same time, and then go back indoors, and cotton trousers can quickly pick up. When the person wearing cotton trousers is already very warm, the chill on the wool trousers has not completely disappeared!
Wow, it turns out that a pair of cotton trousers has such a big mystery. This has strengthened my confidence in wearing cotton trousers.

I have been wearing cotton trousers since then, from persistence to habit, for more than a month.
The lower limbs began to heat up slowly, and the dull pain in the knee without exertion gradually disappeared. The abdomen that had been cold before began to heat up slowly.
Why did this change happen? Think about it carefully. The leg is equivalent to the basement of the building, which is a cold place in itself. If you don't pay attention to and protect it, you will inevitably enter the state of "old legs get old first". Cold legs are caused by two behaviors at the same time. One is leg cold, and the other is that the cold from all parts above the lower limbs should be slowly transported to the lower limbs, just like water flowing downwards, the cold also flows downwards. When the cooling speed and intensity of lower limbs are less than that of cold storage, the cold will pile up higher and higher, and finally an iceberg invisible to the naked eye will be formed, which will pile up above the heart and lungs.
So focus on "keeping the lower limbs warm": it means that if you feel cold, you should wear more lower limbs first; If you feel hot after wearing too much lower limbs, reduce the clothes on your upper body first. Obviously, this idea is completely contrary to my long-standing cognition. Wearing down jackets in winter and autumn trousers on lower limbs is the actual operation.

For a long time, because I grew up in a cold area-Xinjiang, and my legs are very thick, I have a belief: I will never wear woolen trousers in winter, let alone cotton trousers. Later, I became a yoga teacher and walked around barefoot on the cold floor all the year round, which made my already bad body walk into a lot of cold invisibly!
I believe that many people, like me when I was young, had a little bit of wrong living habits, which made them unconsciously enter this state in advance. I can only wait for one day in the future in ignorance and fearlessness, and the consequences will be borne by my body and mind. For example: less and less menstruation, weak spleen and stomach, poor sleep quality, colder hands and feet, more and more stiff body, more and more ugly face and so on.
Facts have also proved this point. In our yoga class, the most people we meet are friends between the ages of 25 and 35, and their skeletal muscle condition in the spine and legs is really worrying. Stiff, deformed, and even painful, this is simply not like the golden age of life.

So I began to suggest that all my friends around me wear cotton trousers. Lower limbs must be warm enough! Not enough, not enough doesn't count. Because, two operations should be carried out at the same time, one is to prevent cold from entering from feet, ankles and legs, and the other is to cover feet, ankles and legs. After keeping warm enough, dredge the passage of lower limbs, so that the accumulated cold will not block the road and be quickly excreted.

I believe that for those friends who want to lose weight and have thick and hard legs, wearing cotton trousers must be the lowest cost and the highest income. Only by breaking the cold root and filling the body's leakage can energy and yang be accumulated, and the spleen and stomach can be gasified, so that the subtle grains can be transformed into the tonic needed by the body.

Looking back, I understand that when we first met, Mr. Chen smiled silently: wearing cotton trousers.
