Some friends experience a lack of appetite due to irregular eating habits, and consuming cold foods can trigger stomach pain, often accompanied by the occurrence of sour regurgitation.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that Spleen and Stomach Yang Deficiency is characterized by the deficiency of Yang Qi in the spleen and stomach, with an excess of Yin and cold.
The main causes are poor dietary habits, such as irregular eating, frequent consumption of cold drinks or chilled foods, combined with a fast-paced lifestyle and high mental stress, which can easily lead to stomach diseases. Spleen and Stomach Yang Deficiency can also develop from Spleen and Stomach Qi Deficiency.
What Are the Symptoms of Spleen and Stomach Yang Deficiency?
Individuals with Spleen and Stomach Yang Deficiency may experience symptoms such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, lack of appetite, pale and sallow complexion, cold sensation in the stomach leading to diarrhea, weak pulse, thick white tongue coating, and fatigue.
How to Alleviate Spleen and Stomach Yang Deficiency in Daily Life?
1. Dietary Regulation
In daily life, we should pay attention to regular eating habits, consuming meals at fixed times and in appropriate amounts. Additionally, it is important to keep warm, avoid raw and cold foods, and consume more warm foods.
2. Balance Work and Rest
Regular exercise is essential, but it is advisable to choose gentler forms of exercise, such as walking, jogging, or practicing Tai Chi. Intense exercise should be avoided as excessive sweating can deplete fluids and damage Qi.
3. Emotional Regulation
It is important to maintain a cheerful mood and a balanced mindset, learning to relax and relieve stress.
