As the saying goes: 'Don't spit in the morning, don't sweat at night', is there any scientific basis?
Nowadays, people's health awareness is very high. Many people share their wellness knowledge and experiences on the Internet. The public also began to absorb health preservation methods through various channels, which once opened the era of national health preservation.
People's awareness of health preservation does not start from now. Since ancient times, people have not stopped the idea of health preservation, and the ancients have also left us valuable health preservation experience.
There is a detailed introduction to health preservation in the Classic of Internal Medicine of the Yellow Emperor, a collection of traditional Chinese medicine. After the people's living standards have gradually improved, people have begun to pay attention to health preservation.
The ancients have summed up a lot of health care experience. As the saying goes, don’t spit in the morning, don’t sweat in the morning, and don’t sweat at night, which is also a valuable knowledge left to us.
Literally means no spit in the morning, no semen in the afternoon, and no sweat at night. Don't spit after getting up in the morning, don't expel semen at noon, and don't sweat at night. What are these specific meanings? let us see!
1. Do not spit in the morning
When you wake up in the morning when the kidney qi and yang qi are sufficient, saliva contains kidney qi, and swallowing saliva will help nourish the kidney, replenish the kidney qi, and promote the rise of yang qi in the body.
If you get up in the morning and spit saliva, it will damage the kidney qi in the body and lead to the loss of yang qi. It can be seen that saliva is of great significance to human health.
From the perspective of modern science, water accounts for about 70% of the human body, which is very important to the human body. When the body lacks water, the normal operation of various organs will be hindered.
Saliva enzymes and other components in saliva can promote digestion and help the body enhance the antiviral effect of antigen cells. Try not to spit after getting up in the morning.
Drinking a glass of warm water can help supplement amino acids, vitamins, dietary fiber, and provide energy for daily life activities.
2. Afternoon does not leak essence
After a morning of fatigue, the body is in a state of fatigue, and it is necessary to replenish nutrients and take a proper nap to restore physical strength.
At noon, it is not recommended that you take exercise to consume energy in your body, otherwise it will reduce your oxygen and blood pressure levels and make your body in a state of fatigue.
After lunch, the blood in the body will accelerate into the digestive system to help the stomach move, digest and absorb food. Excessive consumption will cause harm to the body.
After overdrafting, the symptoms of kidney deficiency will increase, and the whole person looks listless. Although I don't thank Jinshui for saying that it sounds absurd, it does have a certain scientific basis.
3. No sweat at night
Working at sunrise and resting at sunset is a natural law. The human body must follow this law in order to obtain health. Night is the time when the body enters a state of rest and replenishes energy.
The body repairs itself during nighttime sleep. Only when the brain's neurons and neurotransmitters are in a deep sleep state can they receive nutrients and maintain the normal functioning of various organs.
If you sweat profusely when you sleep at night, it may indicate that there are pathological changes in the body. Excessive sweating will lead to physical fatigue and aggravate damage to the kidneys.
Night is also a short time for the detoxification of various organs, and the body's metabolic rate will be in a slow state. If there is excessive sweating, it means that the body has symptoms of kidney deficiency or physical weakness.
Therefore, strenuous exercise at night is not recommended. It should conform to the laws of nature and achieve a state of working at sunrise and resting at sunset to ensure good sleep quality.
The proverbs handed down by the ancients are also the essence of their combination of life and semen, and they are more worthy of our attention, study and follow.
