The spleen and stomach are the weakest in summer! A simple action is more effective than taking medicine!
Summer is the time when the spleen and stomach are at their most vulnerable. The strength of a person's spleen and stomach function is directly related to the prosperity and decline of life. People with weak spleen and stomach have weak speech, weak bodies, and many diseases.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the body's qi and blood are transformed from food by the spleen and stomach. If the spleen and stomach function normally, the human body can always be replenished with nutrients and obtain a steady stream of vitality; If the spleen and stomach are affected by the loss of regulation, the body is out of shape, and in the long run, there may be a haggard appearance, qi and blood deficiency and other conditions.
In summer, many people like to eat cold drinks, raw and cold food will not only irritate the gastric mucosa, resulting in gastric nerve disorders, but also increase the digestive burden of the spleen and stomach.
"The stomach is a barometer of emotions", and traditional Chinese medicine believes that uncomfortable liver qi can damage the spleen and stomach. Bad mood will cause gastrointestinal disorders, anger and tension will increase the secretion of gastric acid, leading to indigestion in the human body.
We often see that those who are easily angry and emotionally sensitive often have problems such as loss of appetite, stomach fullness, and body weight loss when they are in a bad mood.
When you are in a state of weakness in the spleen and stomach, practicing Shaolin Nei Gong is a good choice. Shaolin internal strength pays attention to strengthening the foundation, the kidney is the innate foundation, and the spleen and stomach are the acquired foundation. Among them, "pushing eight horses forward" and "pulling nine cows upside down" have the miraculous effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach and helping digestion.
Eight horses were pushed forward, and nine oxen were pulled upside down
Keep your feet straight, figure eight inside, and grasp the ground with your ten fingers
Place your hands at your sides, fingers together, thumbs firmly apart
Push forward with both hands until you can't push again
