When it comes to "crossing the valley", people often think it is quite mysterious, because this ability to keep healthy without eating whole grains is a unique practice in Taoism. But in fact, it is considered as a "broken valley" that only experts can do in the world. In fact, ordinary people can also try. A fitness club in Nanjing launched the "broken valley health" project. Opened for more than a year, it has more than 1000 full members, and urban white-collar workers who sit in offices all day and men who have more social intercourse become the main customers. The most powerful person, who did it for 26 days at a time, only drank a small amount of water and supplemented vitamins.

Losing weight is the most direct effect.

Yesterday morning, the reporter came to this Su He Bigu Health Club. Several ladies are being massaged by the technician on the massage table. After about 40 minutes of full-body massage, the technician put a piece of white plaster cloth on the customer's abdomen, and a "broken valley" treatment was completed. It is said that a "Pigu" is usually valid for one day, which means that you can eat or drink the next day, but you won't feel hungry and maintain good physical strength.

Wang Yingzhou, the owner of the clubhouse, was born in the family of a Taoist doctor. "Bigu" is a family heirloom. He introduced that Pigu, in layman's terms, means not eating whole grains. Because you don't eat during the period of "crossing the valley", at this time, the body will convert the accumulated fat into heat and supply it to daily life, thus playing a role in losing weight. From grade one to grade five, you will lose 2-4 kilograms a day on average. From the fifth day, you will lose 1 to 2 kilograms a day. After that, you will almost lose weight in some decreasing way. Of course, sometimes there are exceptions, depending on everyone's own physical factors and cooperation.

In addition to losing weight, Bigu can also restore the balance of Yin and Yang of zang-fu organs in the shortest time, and play the role of conditioning, detoxification and health preservation. Can you cure a disease without eating? That sounds amazing. It is said that crossing the valley is particularly effective for gastrointestinal diseases. For example, Mr. Wang said that people with stomach problems should strictly control their diet, because food will stimulate the stomach wall and make it impossible for the stomach to rest. During the valley, the gastrointestinal tract can be fully nursed back to health, and many diseases can be cured without taking medicine. For guests with symptoms such as hypertension, fatty liver and hyperlipidemia, it is more beneficial to control their diet. Therefore, many paunchy middle-aged men have become frequent visitors here.

I haven't eaten for 26 days but I'm not hungry.

When normal people lose weight, they are always hungry and resist the temptation of delicious food, so the benefits of "avoiding the valley" appear: they don't eat anything, just drink a little water, but they are not hungry. Several members said with a smile, it's not hunger, it's greed, so the most important thing is to mind your mouth.

Ms. Wang, a 33-year-old long-term member of Su He, is in her third course of treatment. She said that when she first came in, her weight was 162 kg and her waist circumference was 102 cm. Now the weight 140 kg, waist circumference 88 cm. The first time she broke the valley, it lasted for 26 days. She only eats half an apple and half a grapefruit every day, and adds an extra vitamin tablet to her daily diet. After losing more than ten kilograms, she stopped, regained a few kilograms and maintained it. A few days ago, she resumed the course of treatment, and the goal was to lose weight 130 kg. "In fact, it's not just losing weight, mainly because people's mental state has changed. I don't work. I used to stay at home and just didn't want to move, but now I am much more diligent and do everything myself. " She said with a smile that the biggest challenge is to cook every day and face a table of delicious food. Although she is not hungry, her mouth is very greedy, so we should control it.

The key is to persist in not indulging.

If you don't eat for a few days, will it cause malnutrition? In this regard, the reporter interviewed Wang Wenguo, a teacher of China Nutrition Society. He didn't think so. He explained that the human body has its own regulatory function. It is the instinct of the human body when it can't get food. All they do is stimulate this ability. For people who want to lose weight, they just need to supplement trace elements in time.

According to Mr. Wang, crossing the valley is an ancient means of health preservation. If you practice at home, you can prolong your life, but ordinary people can only call it "dieting", which is not conducive to health and needs long-term persistence to lose weight. In addition, not everyone can achieve the goal of losing weight by crossing the valley, and some pathological obesity is ineffective. In addition, he also reminded that for people with normal weight, one or two days a week is a good means of detoxification and health preservation, but don't be "possessed", let alone blindly believe in its role: it is good for the cure of certain diseases, but it is not necessarily absolutely effective.
