Take this supplement in summer, and you will suffer less in autumn and winter

The spleen and stomach are the foundation of acquired constitution. Therefore, how to strengthen and replenish the spleen is very important, especially for patients with chronic diseases such as cancer. So how should we strengthen and replenish the spleen? Here are a few suggestions for your reference.

1. Drink barley porridge in the morning

Specific method: "Use 60 grams of coix seeds to make porridge for breakfast every day. Do not add salt or anything else. Just eat up the porridge."

2. Drink "Four Treasures Porridge"

The four treasures include lotus seeds, yam, coix seeds and water chestnuts. Mix these four ingredients in a ratio of 1:1:1:1, grind them into powder, and put a few spoonfuls of it each time you cook porridge.

You can also cook these four ingredients together first, then blend them in a food processor before eating. If you can’t buy these four things, you can also drink porridge made from other things.

3. Eat until you are 70% full at each meal

Eating less will replenish qi, while eating more will consume qi. There is a saying: Eat less and enjoy more, eat more and hurt your spleen and stomach. We should do as health experts say and eat only when we are hungry.

However, many people nowadays do not know when to eat. They do not eat when they are hungry, but they follow their eyes and eat when they see something good; they follow their noses and eat when they smell something good; they follow their mouths and eat when they taste something good; they follow advertisements and eat when they hear something good…

Eat, eat, eat. Always thinking about eating all day long, and doing less and less work, which has damaged your spleen and stomach. So when should you eat? We should listen to our stomachs and eat only when we are hungry. We should not eat unless our stomachs rumble before meals and not eat unless we are hungry.

4. Eat less for dinner

Many practitioners do not eat after noon, and they will be punished if they eat. There is no need for us to not eat after noon, but we can eat less for dinner and not eat unless we are hungry that day.

In this way, we can save food, save time, reduce sudden death and illness, which is really a good thing.

5. Chiropractic

Pinching the spine is to strengthen the spine. Pinch from the coccyx all the way to the neck. When pinching, you don't have to stick to the acupoints, because the two sides of the spine are the routes of the Du Meridian and the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian. Pinching the spine can stimulate these two meridians.

In fact, pinching the spine has many benefits. It can play a comprehensive health-care role. It can strengthen the spleen and stomach, and regulate the qi of the whole body. It can also regulate the internal organs, dredge the meridians, and raise and lower the qi. In addition, pinching the spine can nourish yin and blood and calm the heart fire.

The method of pinching the spine is very simple. Pinch the skin and flesh, release it, pinch the skin and flesh again, and release it immediately. Repeat this process continuously.

6. Frequently massage the top ten acupoints for replenishing qi

These ten acupoints for replenishing qi are: spleen point, Zusanli point, Tanzhong point, Yongquan point, Guanyuan point, Qihai point, Taixi point, Baihui point, lung point, and Xuanzhong point.

7. Eat more foods that replenish qi, remove dampness, and white foods

Qi-replenishing foods have one thing in common, that is, foods that grow in water and in the soil often have a Qi-replenishing effect because these foods absorb the most earth Qi.

Most white things also have the effect of replenishing qi. In addition, foods that can remove dampness also have the effect of nourishing the spleen. These qi-replenishing foods include: yam, potato, sweet potato, mushroom, glutinous rice, honey, etc.

8. Protect your spleen and stomach

The spleen and stomach have four fears:

Afraid of cold

People say that nine out of ten Chinese people have stomach problems, and nine out of ten have cold stomachs. That is to say, among Chinese people, nine people suffer from stomach problems, and nine out of ten patients with stomach problems have cold stomachs. Therefore, it is very important to prevent coldness from damaging the spleen and stomach.

Second, afraid of moisture

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 yin and is most susceptible to damage by dampness. If the spleen is trapped by dampness, the spleen qi cannot rise and the stomach qi cannot descend, then problems will arise in the spleen and stomach. Dampness is a cold evil and is very harmful to humans.

Three fears of sweet

The spleen is afraid of sweetness and the stomach is afraid of cold. Sweet foods, especially highly concentrated sugar water, can easily make people produce dampness, and the spleen is afraid of dampness, so eat less sweets. Others say that cancer cells love sugar the most. Therefore, cancer patients should try to eat less sugar or no sugar.

Four fears

Just don’t eat too much. In addition, exercising more, eating more vegetarian food, and worrying less are all ways to protect the spleen and stomach. If you pay attention to these two aspects, your spleen and stomach will gradually get better.
