Usually, "poor complexion" refers to a pale and bloodless complexion. Poor complexion is a common concern for many women, often feeling lackluster and not energetic. So what are the reasons for poor complexion in women?
How to Improve Poor Complexion
1. Eat foods rich in "hematopoietic materials" such as fish and dates.
To maintain sufficient and smooth blood flow in the body, you can start with diet, exercise, sleep, and emotions.
In terms of diet, you should maintain a healthy spleen and stomach and a strong appetite. At the same time, you should eat more foods rich in "hematopoietic materials" such as soy products, animal liver and kidneys, animal blood, fish, dates, brown sugar, black fungus, black sesame, walnuts, and various fresh vegetables and fruits.
2. Exercise appropriately to harmonize menstrual blood.
For the general population, moderate exercise is the key to maintaining good health, and the same goes for those with insufficient blood. Engage in activities such as walking, jogging, swimming, playing sports, dancing, and aerobics. This not only enhances physical fitness but also helps improve the body's hematopoietic function. Especially for women who have given birth, appropriate exercise can help harmonize menstrual blood and prevent premature aging.
3. Ensure sufficient sleep.
About one-third of our lives are spent sleeping, and the quality of sleep affects our overall health. Both sleep duration and quality are important factors. To ensure smooth blood flow, try to get 7-8 hours of sleep every day and establish a regular sleep schedule, avoiding staying up late, etc.
In addition, having a positive mood is also an important aspect of maintaining good health, especially for women. Emotional fluctuations can also be reflected in sleep and skin conditions, among other aspects.
In summary, to maintain a rosy complexion and avoid symptoms such as menstrual bloating, cosmetics can only provide temporary effects. It is necessary to start from various aspects such as diet, exercise, sleep, and emotional control. Taking some Chinese herbal medicine can also achieve better results.
Causes of Poor Complexion
1. Anemia leads to a pale complexion.
A pale complexion without blood color is the main manifestation of skin and mucous membranes during anemia. During anemia, the body will regulate effective blood volume redistribution through neural and humoral regulation. Some relatively minor organs, such as the skin and mucous membranes, will receive less blood supply, resulting in a pale complexion without blood color.
2. Insufficient Qi and blood lead to a pale complexion.
The color of the face is manifested by Qi and blood flowing through the meridians. The abundance and circulation of Qi and blood will definitely be reflected in the complexion.
4. Massive blood loss leads to a pale complexion.
Massive blood loss or hemorrhagic shock can lead to insufficient blood supply in the body, resulting in a pale complexion without blood color.
5. Weak physical condition leads to a pale complexion.
Danger sign: Sleepiness during menstruation.
In traditional Chinese medicine, sleepiness during menstruation is often caused by spleen deficiency, dampness, Qi and blood deficiency, or kidney essence depletion. Sleepiness caused by Qi and blood deficiency is more common in women with weak constitutions, manifested as lack of energy, lethargy, dizziness, and palpitations.
If there is insufficient Qi and blood, it may also lead to a pale complexion without blood color.
