Chapter 38 (37)

How to take care of your lungs We talked about a lot of diseases of the lungs earlier, and we also know the importance of the lungs in various organs, so how do we maintain the lungs in our daily life?How can we keep our lungs from getting sick and stay healthy? The lung belongs to gold among the five elements, and it belongs to worry emotionally and intellectually, the sad lung.Among the five directions, the lung is the west, the sun descends from the west, and the lung is the main sink.In the food, white food is the main food, and white food nourishes the lungs.The taste is spicy. Spicy nourishes the lungs, but too spicy hurts the lungs.

Therefore, we should eat more white foods such as white radish, white fungus, and kidney beans.However, you can't just eat these, you must have a balance! The purpose of talking about this is mainly to hope that everyone can have a correct understanding of health preservation based on the actual situation when faced with various health preservation theories. In addition, the lung is a respiratory organ, and it must have a great relationship with the environment.As our modernization level is getting higher and higher, there are more and more factors that cause the decline of air quality, such as computers, decoration, vehicle exhaust, and environmental pollution.

How should we face these problems?You can't stop going to work, right?In this case, I suggest that you often eat some lung-nourishing foods during the day, such as radish, white fungus, and lily.As for fruit, please eat more pears.Eat these white foods as much as possible when you can, and eat them often to regulate and maintain your lungs! In addition, everyone should develop good habits, let the office or your living room be ventilated frequently, and minimize the risk of disease caused by environmental factors.To develop good eating habits, don't wait until you get sick to find countermeasures.

From an emotional and intellectual point of view, everyone must adjust themselves and try their best to maintain a peaceful state of mind.We ordinary people have a saying, blow up your lungs, right?Once one loses one's temper, even though the qi comes from above, in fact, the liver is hurt by anger; when the liver ignites the lungs, the lungs are affected.So when people are angry, do you see that they are gasping for breath?Some people are so popular that they vomit blood all at once!Where did the blood come from?Didn't it just blow up the blood vessels in the lungs?There is also a kind of person who is too sad and suddenly faints.what should we do?Tap here, tap there, hiccup and wake up!

So don't be overjoyed or overwhelmed when encountering things, you must have a peaceful mind.It is difficult for us to hope that we will not encounter any troublesome things in our life. We can only change the angle of thinking about problems and the way of coping, improve self-cultivation, and be not in a hurry, panic, or bored after encountering things, and let ourselves worry less, hurt, and worry less. If you are angry, deal with it calmly.Only in this way can we take good care of our lungs and our body. For those who smoke, I advise you to smoke less!But what to do if you can’t quit?Eat raw white radish several times a week before going to bed. It is not necessary to eat it every day. Eat it once or twice a week to maintain your lungs.For people with bad lungs, everyone must pay attention and never eat chili anymore.

Some friends have to ask again, is the maintenance of the lungs the same in different seasons?As I mentioned repeatedly just now, the most common cause of lung problems is liver fire invading the lungs.Spring is the recovery of all things, and autumn harvest is the harvest of all things. Spring and autumn are the seasons with high incidence of lung diseases.Therefore, in these two seasons, everyone must pay special attention to the maintenance of the lungs. Chapter 6 Water (kidney) Chinese medicine believes that the kidney stores essence and governs growth and development.Essence means essence, and the essence stored in the kidney includes "innate essence" and "acquired essence".

Among the five elements, the kidney corresponds to water, the five flavors correspond to salt, the five colors correspond to black, the five transformations correspond to Tibet, the five qi correspond to cold, the five directions correspond to north, the five seasons correspond to winter, and the five seasons correspond to winter. The internal organs correspond to the bladder, the five sense organs correspond to the ears, the five tones correspond to the groans, the body corresponds to the bones, and the emotions and intelligence correspond to fear. Chinese medicine treats cancer, paying attention to "calming internal turmoil" and turning bad things into good ones.It can be summed up in 12 words: adjustment first, no toxins, and stomach protection.Years of practice have proved that tumors and cancer are not invincible!

Kidney is the foundation of innate Chinese medicine believes that the kidney stores essence and governs growth and development.Essence means essence, and the essence stored in the kidney includes "innate essence" and "acquired essence".In layman's terms, the kidneys provide Qi to people. "Qi and blood", qi comes first, as mentioned repeatedly before, Chinese medicine believes that "qi" is the most important, and the kidney is where we store qi.Qi is to ensure the blood circulation of the human body. As I said before, the spleen produces Qi and the kidneys receive Qi, just like our gas tanks store gas to ensure our daily normal life.Among the five elements, the kidney corresponds to water, the five flavors correspond to salt, the five colors correspond to black, the five transformations correspond to Tibet, the five qi correspond to cold, the five directions correspond to north, the five seasons correspond to winter, and the five seasons correspond to winter. The internal organs correspond to the bladder, the five sense organs correspond to the ears, the five tones correspond to the groans, the body corresponds to the bones, and the emotions and intelligence correspond to fear.

The kidney is classified as black in the five colors, and black food, such as black beans, enters the kidney essence.Among the five flavors is salty, and salty nourishes the kidneys.But everything is dialectical, and Chinese medicine pays most attention to this!I talked about this issue in the first article, salty nourishes the kidneys, too much salty will damage the kidneys. In terms of seasons, the kidney governs winter.We all know that winter is the coldest season. One of the purposes of wearing clothes is to keep warm, and the other is to protect our qi so that we don’t let it out.Your qi is nourished enough and your blood circulation is good to maintain our body temperature.If we don't have enough warm-keeping measures, the heat will dissipate, and the qi will have to be replenished constantly, which will cause excessive fatigue and excessive damage to the blood; people will catch colds and fevers, and many diseases will appear.

So in terms of emotion and intelligence, where does the kidney belong?Return to "fear", fear of injuring the kidneys.To give an example, you can often see in film and television works that people tend to pee their pants when they are frightened or particularly frightened, right?Fear of injuring the kidneys, if the kidney qi is insufficient, the water will not hold and come out! Among the twelve hours of the day, during unitary time, that is, from 5 pm to 7 pm, the kidney meridian is in order.In Youshi, the kidney is on duty. At this time, the kidney "talks the most", and other things like the heart and lungs become assistants.

How do you say the word "尤"? "You" means achievement, representing the ripening of the grain.Therefore, to do great things and to achieve something has a lot to do with this unitary time and the kidney.The kidney governs storage, and when the time comes to the unitary hour, the kidney will perform the function of closing and storing, storing the gains of a day's transportation and absorption in time.How to understand this?Vitality is very important to the human body. Where does vitality usually stay?To use an analogy, vitality is like our parents in the human body, and the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are five children. After the parents have given birth to offspring, they retire after their careers. Whose family will they usually live in?According to the traditional Chinese etiquette, one should live in the old family, and the kidney is the big brother of the five internal organs, and the vitality is stored in the kidney, because the kidney is the main store.In this way, the elder brother is "speaking on behalf of the parents", and what the elder brother says is equivalent to the words of the parents, representing the image of the parents.Therefore, the kidney is described as the "innate foundation" in Chinese medicine. Only people who are weak in vitality will get sick, so many people go to "reinvigorate the kidney" at every turn.In fact, it’s not something you can make up for if you want to!Because if the meridian is blocked, no nutrition can be sent to the kidney, so don't "blind supplement"!The more supplements you eat, the more waste will accumulate in your body.Nowadays, there are many people with big bellies, which are actually due to metabolic problems and piles of garbage in the body. Why do we need to eat a little salt every day?Salt is a mineral and belongs to cold.It enters the kidney, but if it is too salty, it will immediately change its nature, and it can regulate the fire in the kidney to come out, and it will become fire.Therefore, eating salty is to increase the body's metabolic function, digestion and absorption capacity.But if it is too salty, it will adjust your vitality. If you keep adjusting it like this, your body will definitely fail.This is the principle of "salt nourishes the kidneys, excessive salt damages the kidneys".
