How to take care of poor complexion
1. Eat more foods rich in "blood-building materials" such as fish and jujube
Specifically, to maintain sufficient and smooth circulation of qi and blood in the body, one can start from diet, exercise, sleep, and emotions. In terms of diet, one should maintain a healthy spleen and stomach and a strong appetite. At the same time, one should eat more foods rich in "blood-building materials" such as soy products, animal liver and kidneys, animal blood, fish, jujube, brown sugar, black fungus, black sesame, walnuts, and various fresh vegetables and fruits.
2. Appropriate exercise benefits the harmonization of menstruation
For the general population, moderate exercise is the key to maintaining good health, and this also applies to those with insufficient qi and blood. Moderate exercise such as walking, jogging, swimming, playing sports, dancing, and aerobics not only strengthens the physique but also enhances the body's hematopoietic function. Especially for women who have given birth, appropriate exercise can help regulate menstruation and prevent premature aging.
3. Ensure sufficient sleep
About one-third of our lives are spent sleeping, and the quality of sleep is related to our health. Both sleep duration and quality are important factors. To ensure smooth circulation of qi and blood, one should try to get 7-8 hours of sleep every day and maintain regular daily routines, avoiding staying up late, and so on.
