The temperature changes greatly in winter, and one old and one young are easy to get sick. Zhang Zhengzheng, deputy director of the Spleen and Stomach Disease Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, reminded that attention should be paid to the maintenance of the spleen and stomach in winter. Only when the spleen and stomach are good, can the food eaten be well absorbed and used. People's qi and blood are sufficient, their natural immunity is improved, and their illness is less. To keep warm, we should give consideration to both inside and outside. We should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid getting cold in the abdomen. Otherwise, it will cause stomach pain and indigestion. Another meaning of keeping warm is to eat less cold food. This is because the temperature in winter is low, and the body's yang is stored inside. The function of the spleen and stomach is relatively weak. If you eat cold food again, it will inevitably damage the yang of the spleen and stomach, causing various diseases of the body. Most fruits are cold and wet, so the intake of fruits in winter can be appropriately reduced. In addition, the fruit can be soaked in warm water before eating, which can reduce the irritation to the digestive tract. Meat+strong tea will weaken the digestive function. People like to eat warm food to resist the cold in winter, such as mutton. Some people drink a cup of strong tea immediately after eating mutton, thinking it can help digestion. In fact, this practice is not conducive to health. Mutton is rich in protein, while tea contains more tannic acid. If you drink strong tea immediately after eating mutton, the tannic acid in the tea will combine with the protein in the meat to produce tannic acid protein with astringent effect, which will weaken the peristalsis function of the intestine, reduce the water content in the stool, and lead to poor defecation and constipation. Mutton can be paired with radish, which can neutralize the dryness of mutton and promote digestion. Learn spleen stomach massage therapy. Among the twelve meridians and eight odd meridians, many meridians and Ren meridians all pass through the abdomen, and many meridians are distributed in the abdomen; There are also several mu points of viscera distributed in the abdomen, which can be said to be the place where the qi of viscera gathers. It is suggested that patients with gastrointestinal diseases should adhere to daily massage of the abdomen, promote the circulation of qi and blood in the abdomen and its meridians, and regulate the functions of various viscera through acupoints. This is not only conducive to the rehabilitation of gastrointestinal diseases, but also helpful to the rehabilitation of other diseases. When massaging, the patients with constipation are mainly massaged clockwise, the patients with loose stools are mainly massaged counterclockwise, and the patients with normal stool are selected from them. Some patients with gastrointestinal diseases (especially the elderly), regardless of constipation or loose stools, have lower abdomen falling and swelling, but have no stool to go down or the amount is small. It is recommended to massage Changqiang point for many times every day from bottom to top. Changqiang point is the collateral point of the governor channel, and the governor channel is the main yang channel. Massaging Changqiang point can dredge the channel qi of the governor channel, and then promote the qi of the yang channel to rise. (Outlook New Times)
