You can eat whatever you want?! Then you are in big trouble!
Patient: Doctor, I've been having stomach discomfort recently, sometimes pain, sometimes feeling chest tightness, feeling very tired but unable to sleep well at night. What's going on?
Doctor: You must not have eaten well!
The illnesses commonly seen recently are mostly related to problems with the spleen and stomach, and these issues are often closely linked to our eating habits. Eating, seemingly an insignificant process, is actually the most important part of our daily life. A good meal provides us with energy. Modern people lead busy lives and often sacrifice meal times; not only do they lack time to eat, but even when they do have time, they eat poorly. In the past, people would eat well in the morning, eat enough at noon, and eat less at night, but nowadays it's the opposite: people are careless in the morning, eat casually at noon, and eat a lot at night. Do you know how much damage this eating habit does to our spleen and stomach?
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the process of eating mainly involves our spleen and stomach: the spleen and stomach belong to the earth element in the Five Elements theory and are part of the middle burner, like the soil that nourishes all things on earth. They digest food to generate qi and blood, providing the qi, blood, and energy needed to sustain a day's vitality. Therefore, the spleen and stomach are also called the "foundation of postnatal life." With sufficient energy, we can support a whole day's work; with enough qi and blood, our internal organs receive adequate nourishment: good digestion by the spleen and stomach leads to smooth liver qi and good mood, peaceful mind and good sleep, sufficient kidney qi and good spirit!
Frequent consumption of unhygienic food, irregular meal times, and inconsistent quantities can all harm the spleen and stomach, leading to dysfunction in their transportation and transformation processes, resulting in insufficient production of qi and blood and causing a series of spleen and stomach problems. The most common symptoms include fatigue and lack of energy, decreased appetite, recurrent upper abdominal discomfort, stomach or abdominal bloating, belching and acid reflux, dull stomach pain or burning sensation, vomiting, and insomnia.
As long as we protect our "foundation of acquired health," life will be carefree in the future, and living to seventy or eighty years old will be no problem!
As the saying goes: "Stomach ailments are treated 30% by medicine and 70% by care." To protect our spleen and stomach, we must start by changing our eating habits!
