Who steals your blood in the middle of the night?
About two months ago, I was one of those people. At ten o'clock in the evening, my eyelids were as heavy as trying to suppress a mosquito, while my brain was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins and was difficult to pull back. At two o'clock in the morning, I woke up suddenly as soon as I turned over, and then stared at the ceiling, listening to my own heartbeat - thump, thump, thump, fast and detailed, just like the vibration of a mobile phone when 5% of the battery is left. I know I should sleep, but my body doesn't obey its orders at all. Later, I learned a term called "qi and blood deficiency", and I immediately understood that I was not suffering from insomnia. It was clearly an emergency of the two hard currencies "qi" and "blood" in the bank of the body at the same time. There was no supply for my mind, so I just chose to be passive and slow down at work. Western medicine will most likely tell you that neurotransmitters are disordered. Traditional Chinese medicine, to put it simply, means that the body is in a state of extreme deprivation, so deprived that even body activities such as sleep, which are instinctive reactions, cannot be maintained.
Don’t rush to swallow melatonin
Really, put down the melatonin you are holding for now. For insomnia caused by Qi and blood deficiency, that thing can only be regarded as a placebo at best. If you think about it carefully, the battery of your mobile phone is already at a red screen and is about to shut down. At that time, you just put a fever-reducing patch on your mobile phone. What effect can this have? You must know that the battery level was still red at that time. In the past two years, I have read and reviewed some clinical consensus points. The general meaning is this. The spleen and stomach of our human body are actually like a "money printing machine" for the production of qi and blood. If the central part of the body is blocked, , just like a money printing machine cannot print money, the yang energy can only float above the head, and the body will automatically turn on a state like "power saving mode", causing the person to become more tired the more they lie down, and the more tired they feel, the more difficult it is to enter a sleep state. The function of the liver can be called a blood bank at night. When there is not enough Qi and blood in the human body, the liver is like a door that cannot be closed. Dreams, early awakening, and cold legs and feet will all follow.
Later I figured it out, I have to recharge first and then turn off the background.
What can you eat to "save" your blood back?
I have tried many recipes, and the ones I have saved in the end are all things that can be reached by raising a hand in the kitchen. Don’t underestimate home-cooked food, if eaten right, it can be more effective than medicine.
<strong>The production process of soy sauce chicken. Cut the purchased three-yellow chicken into half, blanch it in water, then add a small amount of oil to a hot pan, add a few slices of ginger and a few red onions, then add a spoonful of three-yellow chicken and soybean sauce, two spoons of light soy sauce, and eight rock sugars. Simmer over low heat for about 25 minutes to cook a food that I call a "whole body power bank." Ingredients such as chicken can enter the spleen, stomach, and liver meridians of the human body and contain nutrients such as high-quality protein and iron. When people eat it, it seems as if all the cells in the body are connected to the Type-C charging port. The nutrients are gradually fully supplied and the body cells are nourished.
<strong>Presenting to you, chicken soup made with astragalus, red dates and old hens. This soup is suitable for drinking on Mondays and Wednesdays. Select high-quality old hens, add astragalus and red dates, place them in a casserole, and simmer over low heat for up to ninety minutes. Astragalus has the effect of nourishing the spleen, and red dates can nourish the heart. Once the spleen is strong, it can resume normal operation like a "money printing machine" with powerful production capacity. In the latest guidelines, this soup is listed as the preferred dietary therapy for "slow and weak Qi and blood in the elderly", and its level of evidence is quite high. After you taste this soup, the most obvious feeling is that the state that you used to feel like you were hanging on for a breath during the day has been improved.
<strong>Tomato meat and tofu. </strong>, this dish is particularly suitable for people who are "deficient but not able to replenish their health". In the past, I would get angry whenever I took nourishing food. Later I found that the method was too radical and the channel was not opened. Fry the tomatoes until soft, add minced pork tenderloin and soft tofu, the taste is sweet and sour, stimulate your appetite first, and then talk about absorption. It has the characteristics of clearing heat and not consuming gas, and there is no feeling of bloating after eating. This is a science.
What should I do if my blood is blocked and my brain can't stop?
Seriously, don’t laugh, it’s fish-flavored shredded pork. Cut the pork loin into shreds, use pickled peppers and bean paste to bring out the spicy and sour taste, and add black fungus and green bamboo shoots. It is sour and sweet, transforms yin, and is slightly spicy to promote qi. It can specifically treat liver stagnation type insomnia where the brain can't stop. This is like opening an emergency lane for the congested blood flow. After eating, you will feel that the whole person's breath has become smoother. It has this effect.
Pork liver is stir-fried. This is a powerful character. The iron content of pork liver is staggeringly high, and it is a natural "iron supplement". Cut the pork liver into thin slices, soak the blood inside, add ginger, garlic and rice wine to the hot oil, stir-fry over high heat for ninety seconds and then remove from the pan. I took it twice a week for four consecutive weeks. When I went for a physical examination, my serum ferritin increased a lot from the bottom line. It is like the key to the blood bank at night, directly opening the door of the warehouse and storing blood inside.
The black bean, yam, and black chicken soup is most suitable for people who sleep lightly, urinate frequently at night, and have waist pain when they get up. Black beans can nourish the kidneys, yam can strengthen the spleen, and black-bone chicken can nourish yin. A small piece of tangerine peel is added to regulate qi and prevent qi stagnation. After drinking it for a period of time, the sleep that was originally broken into pieces seemed to be pieced together into a whole sleep again.
What should you do in that hour before going to bed?
In fact, there is a small recipe that became popular in 2026. One hour before going to bed, select jujube seeds and add lotus seeds and lilies to boil water, then filter the boiled water and mix it with milk. The tryptophan and saponins contained in such things seem to send a formal "notice of get off work" to the brain. The GABA receptors are gently awakened, and the person slowly relaxes. Then chew a few walnuts and raisins slowly, up to thirty times, to avoid waking up due to a sudden drop in blood sugar in the middle of the night.
The key is order, don't eat indiscriminately. Drink soup on Monday, Wednesday and Friday to stabilize the money printing machine and blood bank; choose fish-flavored shredded pork and other foods to appetize on Tuesday and Thursday; avoid over-nutrition causing blockage; eat chicken and liver on weekends to increase the iron and protein content to the peak. Before 23:00 every night, throw your mobile phone into the living room so that Qi and blood can smoothly return to the liver at midnight. This is a window period for the body to set aside "nightly batch transfers".
Almost twenty-eight days later, when I woke up, I realized that I had turned over only a few times while lying down, and it was already dawn. When I wake up from sleep, I do not wake up through the vibration of my mobile phone, but open my eyes naturally. My mouth is not thirsty, my eyes are not sore, and my legs do not feel heavy. This feeling is like a debt that has been owed, and finally part of it is repaid.
Of course, if there is no movement after three weeks, it means that the loss is too serious, and you need to find a Chinese medicine doctor to check the pulse, and use Guipi Decoction or acupuncture treatment, but don't just hold on to it.
Fundamentally, replenishing qi and blood is not as simple as drinking a meal of Shiquan Datonic Chicken Soup and turning yourself into a sleeping beauty. It's more like replacing a mobile phone battery. After installing the new battery, you have to turn off all apps in the background such as anxiety, blue light, and late-night snacks, so that it can truly last until dawn.
This night, remove the poultry from the refrigerator where the food is stored. When you wake up tomorrow morning, you will be grateful to yourself for putting out the fire in advance.
