Symptoms of Spleen

1. Symptoms of Spleen Congestion

In traditional Chinese medicine, digestive juices are classified as a function of the spleen. Therefore, when there is a problem with the metabolic system, such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia and other diseases, they are classified as problems caused by the spleen's dysfunction. The muscles of the human body are also under the control of the spleen. This is because the nutrition of the muscles comes from the spleen's transportation and absorption. Therefore, when the spleen functions well, the muscles will be full; if the spleen function is not good, the muscles will appear thin or have edema, which is also the reason why many women are obese.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen is not only an internal organ, but also extends to the digestive system including the mouth, saliva, stomach, pancreas, large intestine, small intestine, etc., all of which are included in it. Other diseases such as blood-related diseases are also related to the health of the spleen function.

When the spleen is not in good condition, there are many symptoms. The general symptoms are loss of appetite, frequent feeling of stomach bloating but not eating much, diarrhea, general weakness, fatigue, obvious weight loss or puffiness, obvious tired cheeks and dull skin color, sagging cheeks and eye bags, and the lower body is particularly prone to edema.

2.1. Be sure to eat breakfast

The stomach meridian is running from 7 to 9 in the morning, so this is the best time to eat breakfast, which can speed up the digestion of food. It is best to choose rice for breakfast to conform to the concept of sugar entering the spleen.

From 9 to 11 o'clock, it is the time when the spleen meridian runs. The nutrients after breakfast digestion can just enter the spleen, which is exactly in line with the physiological order and achieves the effect of health preservation and spleen strengthening.

2.2. Eat only until you are 70% full at every meal

Since nourishing the spleen must be done together with nourishing the stomach, the spleen and stomach have the function of raising the clear and lowering the turbid. Therefore, you must not eat too much to avoid increasing the burden on the spleen and stomach and causing bigger problems. Especially nowadays, many restaurants have adopted an all-you-can-eat policy. Please note that you only need to eat until you are 70% full.

2.3. Keep the living environment dry

The spleen likes dryness and dislikes moisture, because a too humid environment will damage the spleen and prevent it from functioning normally, especially in the hot and rainy summer when the air humidity is high. Coupled with sweating, getting caught in the rain, or living in a humid environment, it will damage the Yang Qi.
