Why is Qi and blood deficiency a common problem among modern people?

Nowadays, people are very prone to lack of qi and blood, which has a lot to do with bad living habits. They like to eat meat and fried food. It is no longer the era of simple meals. They also lack exercise in daily life. These are the main causes.

1. Excessive protein intake . Traditional Chinese medicine says that eating too much fat and sweet food will harm your body over time. This means that eating too much delicious food that contains too much protein and fat, such as chicken, duck, fish, meat, eggs, milk, etc., will seriously damage your vitality. Most of the contemporary civilization diseases such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, cerebral stroke, etc. are caused by diet! These diseases are actually symptoms of deficiency, to put it bluntly, it is due to insufficient Qi and blood in the body! Modern medical research has shown that when the human body consumes too much of these delicious foods, it will increase the decomposition and absorption function of the gastrointestinal tract, and the synthesis function of the liver and the excretion function of the kidneys will have to be strengthened. Over time, the vitality of the internal organs will decline and their functions will be impaired. This is what Chinese medicine calls "food injury." Don’t underestimate the harm of “food injuries”. After a few years or even decades, people will find that the better they eat, the worse their health becomes, and they have unknowingly developed “diseases of affluence and civilization”. Looking back, I realized that simple food is the most nourishing!

2. Too little physical exercise! With the improvement of people's quality of life, there is too little physical work. As the saying goes, "Life lies in movement, and life is endless with movement." Exercise can promote the excretion of toxins from the human body and promote the regeneration of new blood! This input (blood production) and output (detoxification) is the basis of endless life. "Light in, no out, light out, no in" cannot maintain a healthy body. Only exercise can help the human body maintain a healthy state for a long time! Everyone knows that exercise is good for the body, but how many people understand why exercise is good? This "one in, one out" phenomenon seems ordinary, but it is very profound. How many people understand it? Modern people eat well, but exercise too little, how can they not be deficient in Qi and blood!
