Uncle Wu is 68 years old this year, and after retirement, he and his wife often go out to exercise, maintaining a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. But he always had it in himSymptoms of cold hands and feet, and fatigueelapseExercise doesn't alleviate it either。 However, there was no other discomfort on his body except for these symptoms, so Uncle Wu didn't take it too seriously.

Since about last month, Uncle Wu has inexplicable dyspnea, and he was diagnosed after going to the hospital for examinationlung cancerand the course of the disease has progressed to an advanced stage. The doctor told him that the opportunity for surgical treatment had been lost, and that conservative treatment could only be used to prolong survival.

The family who got this diagnosis did not want to give up, and went to an old Chinese medicine doctor for consultation after being introduced by a friend.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the reason why Uncle Wu suffers from cancer is due to the lack of yang energy in the body, which leads to the invasion of cold and evil spirits.He didn't pay attention to the symptoms in time when he appeared earlier, so that the course of the disease progressed to an advanced stage.

What is "Yang Qi", and is it really easy to cause tumors due to lack of Yang Qi? Today, Xiaomiao will talk to you.

1. People with insufficient yang energy are more likely to attract tumors?

"The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" records:“阳气者若天与日，失其所则折寿不彰，故天运当以日光明”。Yang Qi is like the sun in the sky, dominating the life of the human body. When the yang energy in a person's body is exhausted, it means that life is going to die. It can maintain the normal operation of the five internal organs and qi in the body, and promote the circulation and flow of qi, blood, and fluid.

The role of yang energy can be summarized into two main points, one is to helpWarm and nourish the veins of the visceraMaintain the flow of blood fluid in the body, so that the body can move normally; The second isHelps to strengthen the skin surfaceIt can resist the invasion of external evils and remove excess diseases.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people with insufficient yang energy will have itCold hands and feet, fear of cold and wind, frequent colds and coughs, diarrhea and nocturiaManifestation. long-termLack of yang energypeople, easy to becomeColdPhysique, Li Zhong, doctoral supervisor of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, said that it was clinically confirmedcancerof patients70% is cold。

Why are people with a cold constitution more likely to attract tumors,Chu Zhenzhen, chief physician of the Department of Hematology and Oncology of Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, explained that there are two main reasons why cold constitution is more likely to be recruited:

First, because people with cold constitution often have the problem of low immunity, it is difficult for the body to remove foreign toxic substances in time;

Second, people with cold constitution have relatively slow blood circulation, which is easy to form congestion and phlegm in the body, which is also easy to induce cancer.

Second, men often do 5 kinds of behaviors or will deplete yang energy, so change it as soon as possible

Cheng Liangbin, chief physician of the Department of Hepatology of Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that the main causes of yang deficiency are congenital heredity, acquired habits and natural aging.

The consumption of yang energy brought about by innate factors and natural aging is difficult for us to change, but the acquired habits are something we can correct, therefore, if we don't want to be deficient in yang, it is best to sit less in daily life and reduce the following behaviors that consume yang.

• Love to eat raw and cold

Raw and cold food actually has to be subdivided into two, "raw food" refers to food that has not been heat-treated, such as vegetables, sashimi, raw pickles, etc.; Cold refers to foods with low temperature and cold nature, such as cold drinks, ice cream, bitter gourd, winter melon, etc. From the perspective of modern medicine, eating raw and cold food can cause a sharp drop in gastrointestinal temperature, reduce blood flow, and then easily cause dysfunction. Common foods such as cucumbers, watermelons, bitter gourds, and radishes in life are cold, so you should pay attention not to eat too much in your daily life.

• Staying up late for a long time

Working and studying during the day is actually consuming the yang energy in the body, and sleeping at night can replenish the yang energy consumed during the day. Staying up late for a long time will break the balance of yin and yang, qi and blood in the body, and it is easy to induce abnormal manifestations of various organs.

• Sedentary

Being sedentary will affect the blood circulation in the body, which in turn will increase the risk of various diseases, and a large amount of kidney qi and yang qi will also be lost.

• Smoking and alcohol abuse

Smoking and alcohol abuse will have a great impact on health, and will also increase the toxins in the body, induce endocrine disorders, and yang energy will also be depleted in this situation.

• Abuse of heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicines

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment, and many people will blindly consume traditional Chinese medicine to clear heat and detoxify when they have the so-called "fire" symptoms in their daily lives. However, to remove the fire, you must first distinguish between the virtual and the real, and repeated fire is generally a deficiency disease, and blind heat clearing can easily lead to the loss of yang energy, and the discomfort on the body is also difficult to alleviate.

3. Yang Qi is enough for people to live long! Do a good job of 5 point maintenance yang

In life, there are some details that can be used to maintain yang energy, which are very important and worth learning from everyone.

• Regular work and rest

人体正常的生物钟与阳气规律一致，建议夜间23点入睡、早晨6点左右起床，保证身体有7个小时左右的睡眠时间，有助于体内阳气生发。

• Avoid overexertion

Daily attention should be paid to the combination of work and rest, overwork will lead to yang energy in a compensatory state, and then will make yang energy biochemical insufficient, which is not good for health.

• Stick to foot soaks

Soaking your feet can promote the speed of qi and blood circulation in the body, and it also has a certain effect on the prevention and treatment of a variety of diseases. It is recommended to use warm water of about 15 degrees Celsius for foot soaking, and keep the foot soak time for about 0 minutes each time.

• Exercise in moderation

Aerobic exercise such as jogging and brisk walking is a good choice. Pay attention to long-term exercise, keep the body slightly sweating every time, and do not exercise excessively.

• Peace of mind

Maintaining a good attitude can prevent liver qi stagnation, and it is also helpful for the growth of yang qi, so you can listen to music, read books, learn calligraphy, etc. to help cultivate sentiment and maintain emotional stability.

Lack of yang energy will bring a greater threat to health, and we must pay enough attention to this, and intervene in time when we find that there is a deficiency of yang energy in the body.
