🌿Middle-aged men need to understand the body’s “sub-health signals”
It is often said that when a man reaches the age of forty, he is like a flower in full bloom. However, at the age of forty, this so-called "flower" often has to bear the double watering of career and family. On the surface, it looks lush and leafy, but in fact, it may already show a sense of fatigue. The pace of life in modern society is accelerating. The pressure brought by work, frequent social activities, and irregular work and rest are all unknowingly overdrafting the health capital of middle-aged men. When the body shows fatigue and fatigue, when the body has insomnia and dreaminess, when the body has soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, this is actually a sign of sub-health from the body, which is also a manifestation of "deficiency syndrome" often mentioned in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. Facing these signals and taking scientific daily health management measures is a topic that every middle-aged man who cares about himself should pay attention to.
🧠 Interpretation of the "Three Deficiencies": How to regulate the liver, spleen and kidneys
Within the scope of the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the balanced state of the human body can only be maintained by the coordinated and orderly operation of the internal organs. Among them, for middle-aged men, the most common deficiency syndromes are mainly concentrated in the three internal organs of the liver, spleen, and kidneys. And knowing its specific performance is the first step to carry out orthodox health care behavior.
〈There are situations with the color #CD5C5C in the strong body style: liver deficiency and liver fire〉 These conditions may seem to be contradictory, but there are conditions that often coexist or appear alternately. Most people with liver deficiency experience dizziness, mental fatigue, and a dull complexion. These are all manifestations of liver blood being unable to fully nourish the whole body. However, "There is a situation with the color #CD5C5C in the body-building style: strong liver fire". This situation is mostly caused by excessive stress and emotional difficulties. It is often accompanied by upset and irritable conditions, as well as bitter mouth and dry throat. For the care of the liver, traditional health care emphasizes the combination of "drainage" and "nourishing". In terms of diet, you should avoid greasy and spicy foods and choose protein-containing lean meats, fish, eggs and milk, and mix them with fresh fruits and vegetables. This will soften the liver body and assist the liver's normal draining function.
A common problem among many middle-aged "put on" men is spleen deficiency , which causes symptoms such as puffiness and flaccid muscles. The spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, and it is the source of the biochemistry of qi and blood. Once spleen deficiency occurs, the function of transportation and transformation will lack strength, causing water and dampness to be in a stagnant state. As a result, people will easily feel tired, lose appetite, and have loose stools. This reminds us that lifestyle adjustment should start from strengthening the spleen, eating regularly, and avoiding raw and cold things, so as to provide continuous power for the body's biochemical qi and blood.
A condition occurs in the body: the function of a certain organ becomes weak. This situation is called a "deficiency syndrome". Among them, there is a "deficiency syndrome" called "kidney deficiency". It is the topic that middle-aged men pay the most attention to, and is also the most misunderstood. The kidneys have the function of storing sperm and play a leading role in growth and development as well as reproduction. Kidney deficiency does not simply mean that a certain function is weakened, but is a manifestation of a series of symptoms, such as memory loss, difficulty concentrating, soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, a feeling of being afraid of the cold, tinnitus in the ears, and decline in the function of the genitourinary system. Excessive pressure at work and prolonged fatigue are the main predisposing factors for kidney deficiency in middle-aged men. Therefore, the key to maintaining a gentle physique is to combine work and rest and avoid excessive consumption.
