Women's physical discomfort is often related to qi and blood deficiency. Especially in middle age, with the pressure of taking care of both the elderly and the young, women are prone to emotional instability, leading to kidney deficiency, menstrual irregularities, pale face, and dry lips. Severe qi and blood deficiency can cause various problems, including premature aging. If we compare the human body to a growing plant, qi is like sunlight and blood is like rain and dew. Both work together to nourish the body and promote its growth. Once qi and blood are insufficient, it will lead to impaired body functions and a series of problems.
1. Dietary supplementation
For women who want to regulate their qi and blood deficiency, starting with diet in daily life can effectively help improve the condition.
Jujube
Jujube is well-known for its ability to nourish qi and blood. It contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, organic acids, vitamin A, vitamin C, minerals such as calcium, and various amino acids and nutrients. It is not only affordable but also versatile, as it can be used to make porridge, soup, or eaten directly. If you have the habit of eating yogurt every day, you can also sprinkle crushed jujube on top of it.
Lily
Fresh lily is becoming increasingly popular as a dish. It can nourish the yin of the lungs and kidneys. The lungs represent heaven, while the kidneys represent earth. When the lung yin is sufficient, it can nourish the kidneys through the fluid secreted. When the kidney yin is sufficient, it can replenish the lung yin by evaporating excess fluid. This dual nourishing effect is why we share it.
Chinese yam
When preparing Chinese yam, you can also add some brown sugar. This not only enhances the taste of Chinese yam but also because brown sugar contains a lot of iron, it can effectively replenish qi and blood when consumed.
2. Massage
For women, qi and blood deficiency is closely related to the health of the kidneys. If the kidneys are healthy, it will ensure sufficient kidney qi, leading to vigorous energy and smooth circulation of qi and blood.
When you find yourself with qi and blood deficiency, you can effectively improve this condition by massaging certain acupoints. One acupoint that I recommend is the Yongquan acupoint, located on the sole of the foot. Stimulating the acupoints on the sole of your foot daily is not only beneficial for opening up the meridians but also for maintaining kidney health. It's a win-win situation.
3. Exercise
If you want to improve your physical condition, avoid the impact of qi and blood deficiency, and promote better blood circulation and metabolism in your body, you must pay attention to exercise in your daily life. This will help eliminate toxins accumulated in the body. You can engage in yoga exercises during leisure time, which can accelerate metabolism through stretching. Although stretching may be painful, you will find that you feel energized after the exercise.
