The benefits of spleen and stomach care

The spleen and stomach are very important to human health. Once the spleen and stomach are out of balance, it will first lead to a decrease in appetite and poor nutrient absorption. Sometimes it will also cause abdominal distension, stomach bloating and other symptoms. Especially in recent years, some more serious gastrointestinal diseases have a relatively high incidence rate, such as gastric cancer, intestinal cancer, etc. This is related to the lack of attention to spleen and stomach maintenance. Therefore, the spleen and stomach should be maintained in time.

The benefits of spleen and stomach maintenance

From the moment we are born, we cannot do without food. We absorb nutrients from food to supply the needs of various tissues and organs in the body, so as to maintain normal metabolism, promote height and keep the body young. The stomach and intestines are the core part of nutrient absorption, so stomach and intestine care is very important.

The moisture and necessary nutrients for the skin are mainly absorbed from the spleen and stomach. If the gastrointestinal tract is diseased, the skin will not be supplied with enough nutrition and water, which will directly affect the beauty of the face, causing dull, yellow and black complexion. Therefore, if the stomach and intestines are not in good health, the complexion will be dull and women will lose their beauty. It can be seen that the function of the stomach and intestines directly affects the beauty effect.

Human health lies in the fact that the nutrients we eat must be digested by the spleen and stomach and then absorbed by the human body, while the stomach and intestines are also responsible for excreting the waste that cannot be absorbed. Only when the import and export are healthy can the health of the human body be ensured. Gastrointestinal motility can improve constipation, make bowel movements smoother, and eliminate old stool and toxins deposited in the intestines. Repair intestinal mucosal tissue and improve digestive function.

Effective gastrointestinal maintenance methods

1. Waking up the spleen “Waking up the spleen” means to liberate the spleen and stomach from a long-term sluggish or hyperactive state. The long-term sluggish or hyperactive state is such as “no appetite at all, or only being particularly interested in a certain kind of food, or not feeling full no matter how much you eat, or not feeling hungry no matter how much you don’t eat. In short, it is either too strong or too weak. At this time, we need to “wake up” the spleen and stomach from this state.

2. What is promoting stagnation? It is to activate the spleen and stomach, especially the gastrointestinal tract, so that the things stored in them can move to the next step. In the previous section, we talked about that the gastrointestinal tract moves rhythmically. The purpose of this rhythmic movement is to enhance the emptying capacity of the stomach and intestines. This is the key reason why I often talk about "the stomach is supplemented by being unobstructed". If you want to use a box to hold things, you must empty the box. If you cannot do this, no matter how you maintain the gastrointestinal tract, it will be ineffective.

3. Strengthen the spleen and stomach. Why do some people grow fat, some grow thin, and some grow neither fat nor thin? In fact, it is all due to the spleen and stomach. We can directly say that "what kind of spleen and stomach determines your body shape". The word "strong" means that you should "absorb what should be absorbed, and not absorb what should not be absorbed." To put it more directly, it means to let the spleen and stomach act according to the objective rules of the body. Everything must be done according to the needs of the body, and this general direction cannot be deviated from.
