This part of my body is not good. No wonder I get sick all the time.

Traditional Chinese medicine has always emphasized that "health preservation starts with the spleen and stomach." The spleen and stomach are the foundation and axis of our body, and their importance is self-evident. Summer is a good time to nourish the spleen and stomach.

7 typical symptoms of poor spleen and stomach

There are generally seven typical symptoms of a bad spleen and stomach: 1. Drooling while sleeping; 2. Yellow face; 3. Poor sleep quality; 4. Frequent constipation; 5. Dull nose; 6. Pale and dry lips; 7. Poor mental state.

If you have 2 to 3 of the above symptoms, it usually means that your spleen and stomach are not in good condition.

The spleen and stomach have "four fears" that need to be avoided

1. The stomach is afraid of "cold"

There is an old saying that goes "Nine out of ten people have stomach problems, and nine out of ten stomach problems are caused by cold", which means that nine out of ten people suffer from stomach problems, and nine out of ten people with stomach problems are caused by cold. Therefore, only by keeping warm can you protect your spleen and stomach.

If you already have symptoms of stomach cold, such as stomach pain, drooling, nausea, bland taste in the mouth, preference for hot food, poor digestion, etc., you can drink a cup of clove leaf tea in the morning and evening, which has excellent effects, especially Changbai Mountain clove leaf tea, which has the purest taste.

2. The spleen is afraid of "wetness"

Among the Five Elements and Six Qi, in the sky it is moisture, on the earth it is soil, and in people it is the spleen, so the spleen is the master of moisture. The spleen is most afraid of dampness and is most susceptible to damage and invasion by dampness because the spleen is yin. If the spleen is trapped by dampness, the spleen qi cannot rise and the stomach qi cannot descend, then problems will arise with the spleen and stomach.

If you have symptoms such as loose stools, thick and greasy tongue coating, edema of the face and limbs, dizziness, heaviness of the body, and a protruding belly, it means that there is a lot of moisture in your body and you must get rid of the moisture in time to nourish your spleen and stomach. It is recommended to buy some red bean and coix seed tea, a cup in the morning and evening, which is very effective in strengthening the spleen and removing moisture.

3. The spleen is afraid of sweetness

Eating too much sweet food can easily damage the spleen, because too sweet things, especially very sweet syrup, will cause a lot of moisture to be produced in the body. As mentioned above, the spleen is afraid of moisture, so if you want to nourish the spleen and stomach, you should also eat less sweets.

4. The stomach is afraid of being "full"

It is healthiest to eat until you are 70% full. If you are not used to it, don't eat too much, otherwise it will easily hurt your stomach over time.

In addition, to nourish the spleen and stomach, you should eat more fruits and vegetables, exercise more, and have a good attitude, all of which are beneficial to the regulation of the spleen and stomach.
