Normally, people often say that so-and-so is injured after a serious illness or surgery, so what is the vital energy, and how to determine whether the vital energy is sufficient?

Yuan qi originates from the kidney, including the qi of yin and yang (i.e., kidney yin and yang), which is mainly transformed by the kidney essence, so it is called Yuan qi, and is generated by the innate essence stored in the kidney through the transformation of the kidney and the nourishment of the essence of water and grains. The generation of vital energy is based on the innate essence and requires the cultivation of the acquired essence, i.e., it originates from the innate and is nourished by the acquired. Whether or not the vital energy is sufficient is related to both innate endowment and the strength of the spleen and stomach. Spleen qi sufficient transportation of water and grain can nourish the yuan qi, the yuan qi enough; spleen and stomach qi deficiency transportation disorder is not full of yuan qi. Yuan qi internal organs, external skin, nowhere to play its physiological functions.

The function of yuan qi has two main aspects, you can judge the adequacy of yuan qi through the performance of these two aspects: one is to promote the growth and development of the human body, for the fundamental growth and development of the human body. Organism birth, growth, strength, old age, has the laws of nature and the abundance of yuan qi is closely related to the lack of yuan qi will affect the growth and development of the human body, there are growth and development disorders, such as children's growth retardation, impotence and softness of the muscles and bones, adult hair, teeth, before old age, such as aging. The second function of vital energy is to stimulate and promote the physiological activities of the five viscera and six bowels. The root of the vital energy, water and fire of the house, hair of the five organs of Yang Qi, nourishing the five organs of the yin gas, the vital energy is sufficient for the function of the internal organs on the exuberance of the vital energy is insufficient for the function of the internal organs on the low. Sufficient vital energy, viscera function is also healthy. Therefore, the people who have enough energy, moisturized face, full of spirit, clear vision, loud voice, quick hearing, clear thinking, strong movement.

Yuan qi is the prime mover of human life activities, determining one's health and longevity, and is the most important and basic qi in the human body.

Yuan qi, we are not unfamiliar, we often see some martial arts movies, someone was injured, it will be said that has been greatly injured, and some people after surgery, especially open heart, open abdomen and other surgeries, are said to be greatly injured, need to be recuperated. There are also some people seem to be always in good spirits, people say that he "full of energy", but if we use language to explain it, it is a little difficult, that in the end what is the energy it? Let's take a look:

What's the meta?

Yuanqi is the most important kind of "qi" in the human body, is there many kinds of "qi" in the human body? Yes, what we usually refer to as "qi" includes "yuan qi", "wei qi", "zong qi" and "qi". Yuanqi is the driving force of human life activities, is born from the parents of the innate essence of the gas, and get the nourishment and supplementation of the water and grain essence of the latter day, combined with a kind of gas. The Yuan Qi brought by the innate is only enough to sustain life for 7 days, and if you want to live, you have to eat and breathe the natural qi. Therefore, the Yuan Qi of the human body is largely affected by the fact that the essence of the water and grain of the acquired nature relies on the spleen and stomach to transport and transform it.

Therefore, many ancient medical practitioners believed that the spleen and stomach qi can both injure the vital energy, and if the vital energy is insufficient, all diseases will arise. This means that if the spleen and stomach are injured, and the vital energy fails, the vital energy will not be able to resist the invasion of external evils and lead to diseases.

Yuan Qi can play a role in promoting the growth and development of the human body, but also warm and stimulate the internal organs, meridians and other tissues and organs of the physiological function. When the body's vital energy is sufficient, it is full of spirit, viscera function is also strong, if the vital energy is weak, viscera function is also low.

So how do you tell if the metabolism is sufficient?

(i) Mental depression and facial blandness

When the vital energy is insufficient, the person's mental state is very poor, usually manifested as fatigue and weakness, speak in a small voice, always sleepy, colorless face, yellowish, thinning hair, no luster, cloudy eyes, if the vital energy is sufficient, then it will be energetic, ruddy face, speak loudly, shiny hair, and translucent eyes.

(ii) Poor spleen "qi" and low appetite

An important part of the body's vital energy from the spleen and stomach on the transport of water and grain essence, if the long-term poor diet and lifestyle habits lead to the spleen's transport function has a problem, then there are nutrients can not be transmitted to the body's tissues and organs, no energy and nutrients to nourish the body's vital energy will be greatly reduced, poor digestive ability, poor appetite, frequent gastrointestinal discomfort. If it has been a "eat well" state, it means that the energy is more adequate.

(iii) Moodiness, impatience and rumination

When the essence is injured, the fire of the heart rushes up, the human body will show irritability, insomnia, lack of concentration, memory loss, dreaming, thinking about sex and doing things all the time feel overwhelmed. Kidney qi passes through the brain, people who have enough vital energy to focus on things, memory, thinking ability are stronger.

How do I replenish my energy?

Daily or to develop good habits, such as a reasonable diet, do not stay up late, sleep enough, eat less greasy, spicy, cold food, to reduce the damage to the spleen and stomach, increase physical exercise, strong heart and lungs. Avoid over-exercise, over-exertion, do not fight against physical discomfort, regularity, emotional peace.

There is an easy way, when you eat lunch, if you are sleepy and want to sleep, it means you are low on energy. If you are not sleepy, and also refreshed. It means you have enough energy.

The first thing to look at is the person's vitality. Sufficient vitality of the teeth are firm, neat, thick and rounded ears; eyes are clear and introspective; walking vigorously. Speech head to head, the color of light, fat and thin moderate and other characteristics!

It's simple, really simple. One organ, the eye! None of the wise men and women, regardless of their Taoist-Buddhist practice, are full of spirit. From the clear black and white of a newborn baby, to the yellowish color of a middle-aged person, and the whitish color of an old man, they all express a person's health and longevity. A person's vitality is sufficient, the eyes are embarrassed, a closer look will have a gloss and brightness, then it must be a firm mind, good health, and a clear mind! Doing things with half the effort, learning will also be memorized!

First of all, "Yuan Qi" is not something nebulous, in fact, Yuan Qi is not only mentioned in Chinese medicine, but also mentioned in other academic disciplines, martial arts schools and Taoist methods of health, all mentioned, the problem is that you have to believe that not only in Chinese medicine there is a method to enhance the Yuan Qi.

How to determine the adequacy of vital energy, to give a simple example, the little naughty boy is very naughty, you and his race to pee, to see who pee far, you dare and he pulled out to test some? The result is a sure loss.

There are also people who have had their chests opened for major surgery, and their vital energy is almost like a gas, and as for the fact that they are still alive now, it is because of the acquired complement that they are able to survive, and it is certainly not as bad as it used to be, and colds and sicknesses are common, and they belong to the susceptible group.

There is also when you sneeze with your mouth wide open, more than five times in a row, you will feel weak in the waist and knees, especially the waist (kidney), and feel even more weak. If you sneeze, a little attention, do not open such a big mouth, try to use the nose to inhale, in the small mouth to hit out, absolutely does not exist this phenomenon.

Yuan Qi is endowed in the innate, the essence of the innate born, hidden in the kidneys, but must rely on the continuous nourishment of the essence of the innate, in order to continue to play its role. Yuan Qi through the San Jiao through the whole body organs and tissues and organs to get Yuan Qi to stimulate and promote, so as to play their respective functions, to maintain the normal life of the body's activities, the five viscera and six bowels of the gas is also to be rooted in the funding of the Yuan Qi. Therefore, the more abundant the energy, the more exuberant the function of the organs, the body will be healthy and less sick. On the contrary, such as innate endowment is insufficient, or prolonged illness damage to the vital energy, it will be viscera gas failure, weakness and disease.

The concept of determining the adequacy of vital energy is rather vague, and in layman's terms it is actually health. Sufficient vital energy must be healthy, and on the contrary, those who do not have sufficient vital energy have more or less diseases, and the dissipation of vital energy will be the end of one's life.

Martial arts master Sun Lutang once talked about what health is. He said, "Whether one's life span is long or short, one must live to the fullest. To live a full life is to be healthy and disease-free, to be able to fully utilize one's abilities, and to be able to meet all the needs of one's work, study, and life. If a person is often in a state of illness, or is mentally depressed and disheveled, then such a person is not living a full life. "Sun Lutang put forward seven criteria for living a full life: firstly, not having any disease in the body all year round. The second is cheerful, not for anything to trip, can afford to do things, put down, think, do complete. Third, good physical strength, able to carry 120 pounds to 160 pounds of heavy long-distance trekking. Fourth, walking like a fly, every hour to walk ten to fifteen miles of distance. Fifth, the body coordination and good explosive force. Can jump forward 2.5 meters away, jump backward 2 meters away. Sixth, the body can resist heat and cold. In summer, they can work in the hot sun, plant rice seedlings and plow the land, and in winter, they can go fishing in the snow and ice. Seventh, the body is resistant to hunger. One can go seven consecutive days without food and can drink water. It can go without sleep for seven consecutive nights, but can still work as usual.

These seven, I believe, are the criteria for determining the adequacy of vital energy. But Sun Lutang especially emphasized that practitioners are able to do it. That is, those who practice martial arts and kung fu, because they have to withstand the wind, food and shelter, and walk thousands of mountains. Ordinary people work, study, live, firewood, rice, oil and salt daily busy, do not have a lot of time to cultivate, so it is difficult to achieve these seven criteria.

In fact, I have often heard people say that a serious illness will greatly damage their vital energy, but what is vital energy? Yuan Qi actually refers to the "essence, vitality and spirit" of a person. Every time I retouch a photo for a customer, I find that I can tell whether a person is healthy or not from his or her facial color and features. Whether the body is good or not, whether the vital energy is sufficient or not, but the exact measurement of a person's health index must still be viewed from a holistic point of view.

I. Listen to the voice and watch the meal

To see whether a person's vitality is sufficient, see whether his voice is loud. Look at the amount of food he eats, eat a lot of good health, able to eat and work, a person who talks and gasps, can not eat, he must have insufficient vital energy.

Second, whether the hands, feet and legs are strong

A person who can't walk or do anything is definitely not a meta person.

Third, look at the five senses:

1、The color of the lips is black and purple

These people usually have a bad heart. Normal people have reddish-colored lips, but if the heart is not good, the lips will be purple and black, which all represent a problem in one part of the body.

2、Black bruises around the eyes

Most of this group of people do not rest well, do not sleep well, and stay up late for a long time, so the phenomenon of darkness around the eyes and blackness occurs. This kind of people belong to the sub-health, time is long if not pay attention to, easy to occur the chance of sudden death.

3、Dark face with spots

This kind of part of the female is to give birth to children out of the spot, sun out of the spot, these are in fact and the liver has a close relationship, the liver is not good people are easy to spot on the face, which is detoxification problems, there are also some of the kidney problems are also yellowish color, or hair darkness.

4, the nose is crooked, that is, the middle of the person is not straight.

This kind of people should pay attention to the risk of stroke, sometimes I found in the retouching of certain people in the middle of the person will be misplaced, which makes some changes in the facial features, these people are flushed, easy to fire , drink less water, this kind of people should pay attention to be careful to prevent the risk of stroke.

5. Eyes

It is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul, eyes bright is the embodiment of sufficient vitality, if said yellow, black, it proves that the body is not out of a healthy condition.

6. Hair

Hair is shiny, not thinning and less gray.

So how do you avoid hurting yourself in life?

Too sweet, too spicy, too salty, cigarettes, alcohol, staying up too late, over-indulgence and other bad habits will stimulate the body's organ activity and damage health. In life we should learn some Chinese medicine health, pay attention to dietary balance, less MSG, less salt, less sugar, less spicy, peace of mind, cultivate the mind, pay attention to exercise, etc. will help us to fix the vital energy, to maintain a long and healthy life.

This is also I often read through some of the health knowledge to understand a little judgment method, there may be a lot of shortcomings, you can also share some good methods, sufficient energy is related to the length of life, so in ordinary life, we should pay attention to observe their own body whether there is a problem, and timely medical treatment, so as to avoid the occurrence of more physical hazards!

Full of energy, eat quite fragrant, the pulse is calm, the tongue is red and gloriously moist, and the eyes are bright and clear are said to be full of vital energy.
