A woman who keeps one thing in her body can easily look 10 years younger

It is said that women are made of water, because women all want to have tender skin, which is the capital of youth, and women's tears touch the tough hearts of many men. In fact, women are not only made of water, but also "blood", because women with sufficient qi and blood will have a better complexion. Maybe your facial features are given by your parents and there is no way to abandon them, but your blood is something you can cultivate yourself.

What is blood?

Blood continuously flows in our body, giving life vitality. Although Chinese and Western medicine have different explanations about blood, its important role is unanimously recognized.

Western medicine believes that blood is an opaque liquid. The reason why blood is red is mainly because red blood cells contain hemoglobin. Western medicine believes that blood is a tissue flowing in the human body and belongs to connective tissue, which means that it is a tissue level in the life system. Iron is an important component of blood. The main components of blood are plasma, blood cells, and genetic material, and blood is composed of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and other proteins and electrolytes. A lot of health information about the human body is hidden in the blood. In Western medical examinations, blood tests are a very important detection method. Blood is also divided into different types. Blood transfusion therapy is a very important treatment method in Western medicine and plays an indispensable role in saving lives.

In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that the red liquid flowing in the human body is produced by essence and qi, and blood comes from the operation of the five internal organs. It is first digested and absorbed by the spleen, stomach and other organs, and the fine parts are combined with body fluids and absorbed. Then the heart and lungs ascend to qi and transform it into blood. After that, it is stored by the liver to supply the needs of life. At the same time, it nourishes the five internal organs, limbs and every corner of the human body. Adequate blood can make your face rosy and slow down the aging process. If the blood is insufficient, the face will be pale and the lips will be dull. It is described in the "Zhongzang Jing": "The heart produces blood, blood is the mother of meat, the spleen produces meat, and meat is the home of blood. The lungs belong to qi, and qi is the qi of the bones. The kidneys correspond to bones, and bones are the basis of tendons. The liver is related to tendons, and tendons are the source of blood." This shows the important role of blood in maintaining the functions of the five internal organs and the physiological functions of the body.

Function of blood

1. Rich in nutrition

It is said that blood has the effect of nourishing the skin, and some people say that blood is a symbol of youth. When you reach a certain age, you will experience blood deficiency. In fact, the reason why blood has so many important functions is because it is rich in nutrients that nourish our body. Blood contains inorganic salts, oxygen, and cell metabolites, hormones, enzymes, antibodies and other components. These components nourish tissues and organs in the body, regulate the activities of all organs, and can also effectively defend against harmful substances. "Nanjing" says: "Blood is the main moisturizer", which means that the nutrients in blood can nourish the skin, hair, tendons and bones.

The nutrients in the blood are pushed by Qi and then run through the twelve meridians to nourish the limbs, internal organs, just like "the liver opens up to the eyes", so the liver receives blood, the eyes can see clearly, and the feet receive blood, so the limbs can flex and extend. Not only that, blood oxygen in the skin can be beneficial to the skin's metabolism, making the skin shiny and elastic, making the whole person look very energetic and beautiful.

2. Blood nourishes the mind

In the health-preserving theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the health-preserving of the mind and spirit is regarded as an important way of health-preserving, because Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that a person's essence, energy and spirit are mainly dominated by the heart, that is, "the heart is the monarch, from which the spirit comes". The heart in Traditional Chinese Medicine also includes the anatomical heart, and the heart controls the body's blood and the entire central nervous system. However, the activities of the heart must be nourished by the heart blood. Blood is also the material basis of mental activities. Therefore, only when the Qi and blood are sufficient can the mind be clear and the spirit be full. The "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor" says: "When the blood vessels are harmonious and the spirit is at rest." Therefore, it is said that heart and blood interact with each other and are closely related. On the contrary, if the heart blood is insufficient, symptoms of restlessness such as palpitations, insomnia, and nightmares will appear. Once evil heat invades the blood, it will disturb the mind. In severe cases, coma and delirium may occur. Therefore, blood has the function of nourishing the heart and mind.

3Maintain the yin and yang balance of the whole body

Traditional Chinese medicine theory places great emphasis on the balance of yin and yang, among which the balance of yin and yang of qi and blood is particularly important. Qi is yang and blood is yin, and women belong to yin, so blood is very important to women. Qi is invisible, while blood is concrete. Blood is yin and operates internally. If blood deficiency occurs, there will be symptoms of yin deficiency. "Blood Syndrome Theory" says: "Qi is yang, and excessive qi means excessive fire; blood is yin, and blood deficiency means water deficiency". It can be seen that blood is an important substance for maintaining the balance of yin and yang.

What harm will insufficient qi and blood bring to women?

A woman with a rosy complexion is beautiful, and beauty is what women pursue throughout their lives. Women are based on blood. Only when they have sufficient blood and qi can they have the capital of health and beauty. Supplementing qi and blood is irreplaceable by any cosmetics. So what harm does insufficient qi and blood have on women?

1. Decreased function of internal organs

Although more women nowadays are working, they have not relaxed at all when it comes to balancing family life, so women are under no less pressure than men. Anemia means lack of blood. When Qi and blood are deficient, the functions of internal organs will be reduced, and the main manifestations are fear of cold, insomnia, memory loss, mental confusion, dry skin, and withered hair. The most direct harm is the aging of the face, so blood is very important for women.

2Gynecological diseases

Nowadays, many gynecological diseases have become one of the main killers of women, because blood plays an important role and is closely related to women during their menstrual period, pregnancy, postpartum period and lactation period. During these stages, it is very easy to consume blood and damage qi, which reduces immunity and makes it easy to be infected with some gynecological diseases.

3. Aging of the face

Do you think you are young? It is said that age is a woman's flaw, but the flaw of women is caused by insufficient blood. Why can many celebrities maintain their beautiful faces? Many of their health care experiences mention many blood-replenishing diet therapies. Women's insufficient blood and qi cannot be deceived. The most common manifestations are anemia, sallow complexion, dizziness, blurred vision, constant wrinkles and other symptoms.

Conclusion: Blood is the basis of life. For women, blood nourishes not only life but also appearance. Women’s crazy pursuit of beauty is unimaginable to many people. However, many women are still blindly pursuing beauty, and even do not hesitate to "operate" on their bodies. In fact, sometimes we cover our eyes. Maintaining good blood is the capital of women's youth.
