How should we pay attention to diet in summer and autumn? What is the close relationship between the seasons and the heart?
As the saying goes, “If the heart stops beating, the life of a person will not continue.
This year I have entered the age of sixty-eight, among my friends around me, some are less than sixty years old, and even just over fifty years old, but the physical care has been installed for the heart regulator, but also must always be afraid that the regulator will lose heartbeat because of the lack of electricity. Some friends are less than 40 years old have heart valve prolapse, mitral valve, tricuspid valve prolapse and other diseases, but also often appear in the middle Qi is not smooth, always up and down the gas situation occurs, these easy to asthma and asthma is not the same, of course, the occurrence of these diseases are from their own.
In my own case, I also had a problem with my middle Qi when I was a child, and I was also unable to restrain my diet, and I once ate 24 bowls of grass jelly ice. After I turned 18, I specialized in acupuncture, but before that, I had to work hard to help with the family farming, especially in the summer when it was particularly hot, and I still had to get up early every day, starting from 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning until after 4:00 or 5:00 in the evening.
I rode my bicycle to the acupuncture class, and half of the 40-kilometer round trip was a bumpy gravel road, which is how I studied hard. Even in the summer heat, my appetite was not affected. As a young boy, I ate a lot, mainly because of my vegetarian diet, which led to fast digestion but not enough nutrition, and my family opposed my vegetarianism for a while, but I insisted, sometimes even eating white rice with peanuts or light noodles. When I went to the field and saw someone offering free grass jelly ice, I didn’t know how to restrain myself and ate as much as I could. This is the story of my youth. During this process, I had trouble breathing and often had to exhale heavily, and at first I thought it was due to the legacy of my mother’s asthma, and even asked my grandfather to prescribe medicine. In order to motivate me to learn Chinese medicine, my grandfather wanted me to discover the cause of my illness on my own, and at one point I sought medical advice from a Western medicine doctor. I experienced the importance of middle qi to the human body as the medicine only lasted for a few hours.
Nowadays, Western medicine is very advanced and can correctly diagnose mitral valve and tricuspid valve prolapse, which are mostly closely related to diet. When the accumulation of eating and drinking too much cold food, the temperature in the stomach is not enough, and the pressure inside the belly is high, which also causes the belly to expand and cannot move flexibly. Human breathing also relies on the strength of the stomach to help blood circulation, as the abdominal breathing or Dantian breathing, as commonly known, sometimes from the behavior can also be judged in the middle qi is not smooth, such as breathing when lifting the shoulders, it is likely to have suffered from heart valve prolapse. Therefore, I would recommend abdominal breathing, inhalation will be placed on the abdomen to push down, exhale when the abdomen to lift up, tuck the abdomen and then lower, expand your stomach in the inhalation (inhalation when the stomach is inflated, exhale when the stomach is contracted inward). Let the inhalation action will expand the stomach, while the lungs will also expand, the diaphragm downward stretch, in order to achieve real breathing relief. Some people, because of the lack of middle qi, instead use the way to lift the shoulders to breathe, pulling the lungs up, and then hurt the heart valves, it is easy to cause injury because of the wrong posture, this posture not only can not ease breathing, but also can not achieve to help the stomach to push the blood upward, so the way to breathe is very important, but also very simple. Especially for people who have poor middle qi, they should learn abdominal breathing. It can help the blood to push from the kidneys to the heart, instead of using the power of the heart in the opposite direction, the human blood circulation is unidirectional, so special attention should be paid to the heart.
A person with a healthy heart, in addition to exercise to accelerate the heartbeat, should not hear the noise from the heart. For the heart, it has two important functions: one is from emotion and nerve control; the other is the function of the kidney blood upward, that is to say, one is the real blood circulation in the body, and the other is the nerve control blood circulation, both of which can be controlled by our will. I often compare the heart to a motor of wisdom. To make the heart live long, we have to use our wisdom, because emotional control is also very important.
The technology of modern people has advanced and organ transplantation is available, but it is quite painful for patients. Therefore, taking care of our own body should become part of our life, using our artificial intelligence to take care of the natural intelligent organs in our body, and never ignore the small details. The simplest thing is to work and rest normally, avoid cold food, eat three meals in eight portions, in addition, people with insufficient heart pigment should not just drink plain water, they should drink some tea, milk, hot soup, etc., because drinking too much water will dilute the blood concentration and electrolytes, resulting in insufficient heart strength. Finally, the body balanced nutrition, do not eat too sweet, too cold, too full, emotional temperament to control, because the physiology is an important factor affecting the psychology: hungry will want to eat food; body adrenaline is not enough, will also cause physical panic, become psychological anxiety.
