Eat hot pot is hot and cold battle. Drink less ice to avoid intestinal problems

When the cold snap comes, friends gather to enjoy hot pot together, which is a great joy in life. But some people are used to eating hot pot, while drinking frozen drinks, which in the point of view of Chinese medicine, is really quite unhealthy, for the sake of a moment of pleasure, but may lead to future gastrointestinal diseases. The Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee pointed out that from the point of view of Chinese medicine, together with the consumption of hot and cold food, so that the gastrointestinal temperature is hot and cold, this is one of the major taboos of health. This is because cold and hot food can not be consumed in turn.

If you drink hot soup, and then eat ice, hot and cold entangled together, it will cause disorder and confusion. Some people while eating spicy hot pot, hot in the mouth, spicy to unbearable, directly filled with a bottle of cold coke, at that time only feel smooth more, but seriously hurt the gastrointestinal flow of Qi. Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee said, the clinical found that many patients are young, they suffer from serious stone problems, the main crux of the problem is not properly control the temperature of food. Food too hot, or too cold, are not conducive to the movement of Qi and blood in the body.

In fact, the ear, nose, eyes, thyroid and other organs are healthy or not, are directly related to Qi. Once the Qi is not in smooth flow, the function of the organs will be disrupted. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee stressed that experienced Chinese medicine doctors can see patient’s face, luster, such as the movement and distribution of Qi and blood, to identify the body’s condition. For example, uneven distribution of Qi, most likely to produce problems.

In fact, pulse taking in traditional Chinese medicine is quite difficult, but it is even more difficult to accurately determine a person’s health condition, not only by feeling the pulse of the other person’s pulse, but also by feeling the skin’s elasticity and humidity, which are all important references. Take skin temperature as an example, if you feel the degree of wetness and coldness of the other person’s skin from your fingertips when taking a pulse, and whether or not they are sweating, you can diagnose the person’s level of health. Therefore, to take the pulse, not only focus on the pulse of the pulse, but also must include the skin surface reaction, also need to be calculated into.

Take the ear as an example, it is written in Chinese medicine books that “the kidney opens to ears” and “the heart opens to tongue”, which means that the ear belongs to the kidney, while the tongue is closely related to the heart. If you have ear problems, you must not only treat the ear disease, but also improve the kidney function. Many people with ear problems have fluid in the inner ear, so they take a combination of herbal medicines to gradually improve their health and allow the Qi to flow freely in the ear. If you still feel uncomfortable and your symptoms persist, it is not too late to go back to Western medicine for treatment.

If the Qi is not smooth, the body will easily accumulate water, including ear water, kidney water. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee suggests that people who are troubled in this area should eat less salty food to reduce the accumulation of water. If you eat too salty food, you will easily drink more water when you are thirsty, making the water retention more serious and unbalanced.

In addition to eating less salty food, in Chinese medicine treatment, you can choose Bupleurum Decoction, to dredge the San Jiao meridian. However, each person has a different physique, different degrees of deficiency and different dietary habits, so the Chinese medicine doctor must carefully take a pulse to determine the symptoms and physical condition, and select the appropriate Chinese herbal medicine according to the patient’s condition. If the Qi is not smooth, the ears are prone to tinnitus and ear water, and if the location of the disorder appears in the nose, it may lead to nasal congestion. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee taught the people a small method, that is to stop breathing for 30 seconds, try to hold your breath, you can relieve the symptoms of nasal congestion.

The nose is related to the large intestine meridian and the lung meridian. If we analyze from ” Ying and Wei “, Ying is the blood of the arteries and is closely related to the ear. Wei is related to the lung meridian and large intestine meridian. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee explained that apart from breathing, another function of the nose is to dissipate heat. Among all parts of the body, the head has the strongest resistance to external stimuli, and if the head dissipates heat faster, it means that the person is healthier.

The lung meridian and the large intestine meridian work together, and the large intestine absorbs and produces heat, which spreads to the lungs to moisten and warm them. If the lungs are kept warm, the nose can have good heat dissipation. For example, when a person with good lung function exhales in the winter, he can see two white smoke trails.

Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee reminded that a small number of people are accustomed to breathing through the mouth, in fact, this is harmful to health. The mouth inhalation, will affect the temperature of the lungs. If the lung temperature is lower, the nasal tissue will easily swell and nasal disease will occur. If you have a blocked nose, close your eyes and stop breathing for a while so that the heat stays in your lungs. As long as your lungs are warm, the nasal mucosa will not swell and become inflamed, allowing your nose to breathe freely. In addition, a diet based on coarse foods and the consumption of white ginseng systems such as Astragalus propinquus, American ginseng, and Codonopsis pilosula for Qi, along with diuretic and hydrating Chinese herbal medicines, can effectively improve the problem of nasal congestion.
