步入中年要重視排除體內陰毒

【2014年12月1日大紀元訊】【大紀元記者李熙綜合報導】「生、長、壯、老、已」,這是人類生命的自然規律。人在步入中年以後,陽極陰長,體內廢物逐漸增多,並開始堆積,身體也感到愈來愈沉重。
 中醫典籍《黃帝內經》認為:疾病的發生與臟腑陰陽的平衡被破壞有關。如果沒有排除陰濁,人的陽氣就會逐漸被陰氣所滅,生命就將終止,所以中年後一定要重視排除陰濁。陰濁即中醫所說的「陰毒」,包括水毒、濕毒、脂毒、痰毒、瘀毒和氣毒。當這些毒物長期積聚在體內,不但會造成身體負擔,還會引發疾病。在此提供民眾6種陰毒的排毒方法與建議。

1水毒
腎功能衰弱

陰毒中最嚴重的就是水毒,由於水份無法排泄,在體內累積過多,一般由腎功能衰弱引起。40歲以上的人要多注意,早上醒來發現下眼瞼、腹部、下肢腿、足等部位浮腫,很有可能就是水濁,表現為舌苔膩、脈沉而弱、乏力。如果腎臟和心臟都沒有病,那可能是氣血運行不好,需要多運動,飲食上可多吃絲瓜、冬瓜等;如果水毒是因腎功能不好而導致,可多吃補腎健脾食物如山藥、白朮、扁豆、薏仁,或加黨參、黃燉肉,或是熬粥,以祛除陰水,也可服用金匱腎氣丸或理中丸來溫腎排陰水。 

2濕毒
脾氣虛

濕是由水轉化而來。體內有濕毒的人,一般表現為舌苔白膩、口水多、小便少、大便稀、易噁心,夏天濕氣大,雨水多時尤其嚴重,多為脾虛濕重。中醫認為,「脾主化濕」,若是脾臟不足,便會出現「脾虛生濕」的現象。所以要祛濕,先要健脾。每天上午7~9點人體生物鐘走到脾胃經,可在早飯後用山楂、陳皮、薏仁泡水喝,有助於消食化濕,還可多按摩足三里穴與豐隆穴。建議多吃健脾化濕的 ​​食物,如薏米、豆類、白朮、黨參等燉肉或熬粥,還可多吃一些絲瓜、冬瓜利濕。

3痰毒
肺功能不好

痰毒一般由飲食而來,或因肺功能不好導致。有些人一天到晚痰總是咳不完,這就是痰毒堆積的表現,可能與飲食不當或肺功能不好有關。多見於老年人、抽煙喝酒的男性、有慢性氣管炎之類疾病的患者,表現為舌苔白或黃膩,常咳嗽痰多。排痰毒在秋季尤為重要,在日常飲食上應多吃杏仁、蘿蔔、青菜、百合、銀耳、梨、冬瓜、無花果、紫菜、羅漢果等清熱化痰食物;特別是大白蘿蔔能補氣化痰,有既補且順的雙向作用,可將其切絲加醋涼拌,每天吃上一點。建議每天早起喝一杯白開水,使氣道濕潤,有利於痰液的排出。

4脂毒
傷肝

脂毒多積留在腹部,或形成脂肪肝,往往見於過食肥甘之人,以中年人居多,但現在有愈來愈年輕化的趨勢。體內多餘的脂毒在血液中流動,會導致血液黏稠、血脂升高,最後演變成高血壓,而且多餘的脂質物質會沉積在血管壁內側,就容易產生動脈硬化。血液中的脂毒每2分鐘要經過一次肝臟的循環,導致肝細胞的脂肪化,形成脂肪肝。由於脂毒同時附著在胰臟器官,妨礙胰島細胞正常分泌胰島素,就會引發糖尿病。脂毒是乳腺癌、前列腺癌、胰腺癌等多種惡性疾病的發病原因之一。建議增加運動量,少食油脂、多喝綠茶,多吃粗糧、洋蔥、青菜、蘿蔔、海帶、紫菜等食物,便秘的人可用決明子泡水取代茶飲,既通便又降血脂,或用山楂、荷葉煮水喝,能化痰降脂,也可按揉小腿上的豐隆穴,有消食導滯與消脂的作用。 

5. 瘀毒
易誘發癌症

瘀毒是指藏在血液裡的毒,平時食物吃得太雜、太亂,攝入太多食品 ​​添加物,就會在身體裡積累血毒,尤其是肝臟解毒功能差的人,多數是從中年開始就出現。表現症狀為舌下脈絡發紫、容易健忘、皮膚乾燥、胸悶憋氣、臉色暗等,長時間就容易誘發癌症。建議增加運動量,用餐少吃油脂,多吃粗糧、蔬菜、山楂、紅心蘿蔔、紅心桃子、西瓜、葡萄、綠豆等食物,或用丹參或山楂泡水喝,能活血化瘀,清除血管垃圾,平時還可以多按摩少府穴。 

6 .氣毒

肺、腎功能不好

氣毒是存在肺裡面的毒,中醫認為「肺主氣」、「腎主納氣」,有氣毒的人往往肺、腎功能不好。表現症狀為身上氣味重,會出現口臭、汗臭等。還有現今不只空氣污染嚴重,二手煙的問題也很嚴重,如果長期處於空氣不佳的狀態,毒素就很容易累積在肺臟排不出來,輕則造成咳嗽等症狀,重則可能會致癌。建議大口吸入清氣,大口呼出濁氣,這樣的深呼吸方式可以對肺部起到清洗作用,每天早晚至少要做一次。還可以吃些養肺的食物,如梨、百合等,以及經常用枸杞、菊花泡水喝,多吃桑葚與各類新鮮蔬菜。

Yang Chi (陽氣) and Yin Chi (陰氣)



Yang Chi is alternate with Yin Chi running inside our body in 24 hours in a day.
Yin Chi reaches its highest moment at 23:00 to 1:00. In other words, Yang Chi is weakest at that moment. Yin Chi represents night and rest. Thus, we should get back to sleep and recover our Yang Chi at the mean time. 

Yang Chi reaches its highest moment at 11:00 to 13:00. In the same way, it means Yin Chi is weakest at that moment. Yang Chi represents day and power. So we can work and to recover our Yin Chi at the same time.

We could see that our body is connected with nature actually. We start working at sunrise and rest at sunset. In Chinese medical theory, we should get to sleep by 11 o’clock at night. This is the best for liver to recover. Why? I will talk about it next time. But most people do not follow this natural rule nowadays. Stay up late at night and then get up late in the next morning. Health may not have any problem at the beginning as body still has reserve to maintain it. But problem definitely would be arisen with time if this bad habit hasn’t changed because Yin Yang is out of balanced in body. It becomes vicious circle. The only way to improve health is to adjust to get up early no matter what so could make our sleeping time early as well.
Sleeping at night time is the way for us to recover Yang Chi. Yang Chi is very important for our body health. When we are sick and ill, Yang Chi helps us to fight with illness. Having fever is one of the representations that Yang Chi in our body is still in good shape to defeat illness.  If our body is lack of Yang Chi, we would have no power to fight with illness anymore. 
If it is possible, it is best to have a nap in between 11:00am to 1:00pm when Yin Chi is switched to Yang Chi. It is good for us to refresh in the whole afternoon also body health. Nap should take around 30 minutes. Must no more than one hour. Otherwise it will affect sleeping time at night. Having said that, I know that it is not easy and possible to take a nap for most people. Actually just let ourselves resting in mind could also help.
