Invigorating the Spleen and Replenishing Qi and Blood——Dietary Conditioning Achieves Good Hands

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is the foundation of acquired constitution and the source of Qi and blood biochemistry.When the function of the spleen and stomach is healthy, the qi and blood will be strong, which will make the skin soft and moist, reduce seborrhea, maintain skin elasticity, and prevent skin aging.Conversely, if the spleen fails to move well, and the qi, blood and body fluids are insufficient, the face cannot be nourished, and the person will have a dull complexion, rough and dull skin.It can be said that the skin care of women's hands has a lot to do with the health of the spleen.

Women's hands are the easiest to reveal the secret of age.You who love beauty may not know that the skin of the hands is as thin as the skin around the eyes, and there is very little subcutaneous fat. As the age increases, the secretion of "sebum", a natural moisturizer for the hands, will become less and less, and the skin The ability to contain moisture loss is also getting smaller and smaller, the elasticity of skin cells is reduced, and the speed of pushing old dead cells to the outer layer is slowed down, resulting in drier skin.Therefore, when there is a problem with the skin of the hands, it is necessary to pay attention to diet and take care of the internal organs to achieve a pair of slender hands.

If your hands are too white, you should eat more blood-enriching food
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the change of the color of the hands may indicate that the constitution of the whole body is changing.The woman's hands are too pale, which means that you are likely to suffer from anemia and blood loss, which belong to the scope of deficiency and cold syndrome and deficiency of qi and blood in traditional Chinese medicine.Such very white hands cannot turn red simply by rubbing them together. It needs to be improved by diet and nutritional supplements.

Take a balanced intake of iron-rich foods such as liver, egg yolks, and cereals.If the iron intake in the diet is insufficient or the iron deficiency is severe, it is necessary to supplement iron supplements immediately.Vitamin C can help the absorption of iron and also help to produce hemoglobin, so the intake of vitamin C should also be sufficient.Second, eat more fresh vegetables.Many vegetables are rich in iron, such as black fungus, seaweed, nostocs, and so on.

Mottled hands need to improve resistance

The color of the skin on some people's hands is red, yellow, and blue, which is a manifestation of low immunity.Women with this situation generally have poor health, poor liver and spleen immune function, and symptoms such as irregular menstruation.However, Chinese medicine tells us that immunity can be improved through diet and scientific living habits.

Eat herbal foods, such as hawthorn, ginger, oranges, mushrooms, soybeans, ginseng, licorice, loofah, etc.Fruits should be eaten before meals, and vegetables should be eaten raw.Eating fruits one hour before meals can eliminate the adverse stimulation of cooked food and thus protect the immune system. Vegetables contain a lot of beneficial ingredients that are not resistant to high temperature, disease prevention and anti-cancer, so eating raw vegetables is healthier for women.

Hands are too red to moisten the lungs
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the palm surface is red, and the respiratory system diseases are mostly.Such a woman is prone to colds, coughs, white sputum, insomnia and fear of cold.

Women with poor respiratory system can eat more vegetables such as cauliflower.People with cough, phlegm and asthma can also eat radish porridge.It has the effects of reducing phlegm, relieving asthma, promoting qi and eliminating food. Take 15 grams of radish powder and 100 grams of japonica rice, cook the radish powder and japonica rice together to make porridge, and eat it warm in the morning and evening.But ginseng avoids radish seeds, so you can't take ginseng while eating this porridge.In addition, more vitamin E, collagen and carotene should be added.

It can be seen that beautiful hands also need to be nourished internally and externally. Women adjust their daily diet and eat more foods rich in vitamin A, vitamin E, zinc, zinc, and calcium on weekdays, which will have a certain effect on the skin of our hands.

It is not only absorbed by the body through the nail surface, but also poisonous from the mouth if you are not careful.Long-term use of nail polish can inhibit the male hormones in women, causing endocrine disorders, damage to reproductive organs, and damage to the nervous system.In addition, nail polish can irritate the mucous membranes in the body and increase the risk of cancer.For pregnant women, it will also increase the probability of miscarriage and fetal malformation.
