The fat man "claps his hands early", and the thin man "soaks his feet late"


Although people of different body types have different physique and different physiological characteristics, the body can be in a more balanced state through appropriate health preservation methods, otherwise it is easy to develop pathological states.


According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, most fat people are deficient in yang qi, have phlegm and dampness in the body, move slowly, do not like to move, and are prone to fatigue and heavy limbs during activities, such people are prone to arteriosclerosis, stroke, coronary heart disease and other diseases.

Thin people tend to be weak and vigorous, agile and active, sometimes prone to excitement and impulsiveness, and are prone to insomnia, mouth ulcers and other diseases.

Therefore, there is a saying in China that "fat people are weak in life, and thin people are deficient in blood".

How to regulate qi deficiency and blood deficiency?


For people of different body types, different health preservation methods should be adopted to keep the body in a balanced state.


In the morning, when the sun rises in the east, the yang energy begins to rise, and at this time, clapping your hands can promote the rise of yang energy and dredge the qi of the whole body. From 19 to 21 o'clock in the evening, when the kidney meridian qi and blood are the weakest, soak your feet in warm water at about 40 °C that does not exceed your ankles can replenish your qi and blood.


Fat people need to replenish qi: clap their hands in the morning


The hand is the base camp of yang energy. In the morning, when the sun rises in the east, the yang energy between heaven and earth begins to rise, and at this time, clapping your hands can vibrate the yang energy, promote the rise of yang energy, and dredge the qi of the whole body.


Clapping and replenishing the air method


Ten fingers apart, palms of hands, fingers to fingers, even patting, remember to separate the thumb from the other four fingers, to avoid excessive clapping of the hands and cause bruising. You can start with a light pat and gradually increase it over time. Take what your hands can bear, but not too light, otherwise it will not play a role in stimulating the acupuncture points and reflex areas of the palm.



In addition to the most basic palm-to-palm shooting, you can also shoot the back of the left and right palms against each other, and the left and right hands can shoot at each other. Don't underestimate these small movements, each one is aimed at one or several important acupuncture points and reflex areas. Stimulating them will open up the meridians and ensure the smooth flow of qi and blood.


Thin people should replenish blood: soak their feet at night


We often have this feeling: people are cold before cold feet, why does cold always start with feet? Because the feet are the base camp of yin blood, when the feet are cold, the blood circulation will slow down, so this place is more likely to feel cold than other places.



The sky is yang, the earth is yin, the head is yang, the feet are yin, the qi is yang, the blood is yin, and the three most important yin meridians on the human body are gathered in the feet, they are the foot shao yin kidney meridian, the foot tai yin spleen meridian and the foot syncope yin liver meridian.


The kidney meridian, liver meridian and spleen meridian have one thing in common, that is: the kidney produces blood, the liver stores blood, and the spleen is bloody, if the blood flow of the feet is slow, the function of the kidney, liver and spleen is affected, and the blood supply of the whole human body will be insufficient, and then people will feel cold all over the body and weak limbs.


Soak your feet and replenish your blood


From 19 to 21 o'clock in the evening, it is the weakest time for kidney meridian qi and blood, and soaking your feet is just right to replenish qi and blood. Do not soak your feet within half an hour after dinner, because after eating, most of the blood in the human body flows to the digestive system, and at this time, the blood that should flow to the digestive system will flow to the lower limbs, so that the digestive system does not have enough power to digest food, resulting in indigestion.



It's best to soak your feet so that the water reaches your calves, at least below your ankles. The longer the foot soaking time, the better, the instep should be red, and the body should sweat slightly.


The temperature of the foot soak varies from person to person. The normal body temperature of a person is 36°C-37°C, and the temperature of the water for foot soaking is 2°C-3°C higher than the normal body temperature, about 40°C. For people with more calluses on their feet, the water temperature can be appropriately higher; The child's skin is tender, and the water temperature should be lower; Diabetics have insensitive skin on their feet, so it is important to prevent skin burns caused by high water temperature.

Dietary therapy and health care are recommended

Fat people are prone to qi deficiency, so strengthening the spleen and invigorating qi is a way for fat people to replenish their capital.


You can eat some foods that nourish qi and strengthen the spleen, such as winter melon, white radish, fungus, yam, etc. Among them, radish contains mustard oil, a spicy ingredient, which has the effect of promoting better metabolism of fatty substances and avoiding the accumulation of fat under the skin; Winter melon contains few nutrients, but it can remove excess fat in the body, has a strong laxative effect, and fat people can eat more appropriately. At the same time, fat people should also pay attention to strengthening exercise.


Thin people are more yin deficiency and fire, so they should take foods that nourish yin and nourish fluid.


Always choose lily, honey, bitter gourd and other foods that nourish yin and reduce fire, do not overeat spicy and spicy foods, such as chili, star anise, cinnamon, etc., and eat less fried and hot foods. Yin deficiency also often produces internal heat, so thin people are more likely to see irritability, dry mouth and sore throat, hypersexuality and other endogenous phenomena of deficiency heat, so while nourishing, we should also pay attention to clearing the deficiency fire, and you can choose to eat clam wheat door dong soup, chrysanthemum meat porridge, etc.
