Chapter 166: Lu Ninth Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine?(1/2)
"Why are you eating at other times?" Lu Jiu asked.
Qiao Ling paused and then said, "In the morning, I will make a cup of oats and then a piece of bread. I will drink a cup of coffee before class and eat it in the school cafeteria at noon. In the evening, I will eat the fitness food prepared during the weekend break."
Meal, well, that’s basically it. Occasionally I’ll have some snacks, but not a lot.”
Fitness meal?
Lu Jiu asked, "How to match the fitness meal?"
Qiao Ling didn't understand why Lu Jiu asked so carefully. Could it be that her headache was related to these things.
"It's hard to say. I just make a week's worth of fitness meals during my weekends. The mix is different every day. For today, it's chicken breast, cucumber, tomatoes, broccoli, and cabbage. Anyway, it can't exceed five.
One hundred calories, because I can only eat one thousand five hundred calories a day, which is enough for lunch, but I eat relatively less at night," Qiao Ling said.
No wonder!
After listening to Qiao Ling's description, Lu Jiu finally understood why Pi Tu said that she always ate food that it couldn't transport.
This fitness meal does not have much problem in terms of calories, but it is full of problems in terms of food habits.
The so-called food properties refer to the performance of food, which can also be said to be its characteristics and effects, just like the medicinal properties of traditional Chinese medicine.
Medicines have four qi and five flavors. The four qi are cold, hot and warm. The five flavors are sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty. The same is true for food.
If you eat food without distinguishing the four smells and five flavors, you will accumulate some problems over time.
Take fruits for example. Most fruits are cool in nature and sweet in taste. The more you eat, the heavier the burden on your spleen and stomach will be.
Although Qiao Ling doesn't eat much fruit, she eats a lot of vegetables.
And the most terrible thing is that, in order to save trouble, she also put the food in the refrigerator to freeze. Although it will be processed at high temperature after being taken out, the eating habits of the food have changed. Even modern medicine will think that food
If left for too long, nitrite will be produced, which is not a good thing.
Of course, talking about dosage aside is just a hooliganism, but with a diet like Qiao Ling's, it is obvious that she will consume more in terms of dosage.
Oh, by the way, there’s also coffee!
"Do you drink coffee every day?" Lu Jiu asked.
"It's not bad. I only drink about five or six days a week. I drink less at home during weekends." Qiao Ling said.
Be good!
This eating habit is really amazing!
Among the five flavors, there are thick and thin flavors. Take sourness as an example. The acidity of some foods is light acidity, which is thin flavor. The acidity of some foods is heavy acidity, which is thick flavor.
Generally, food with a thin taste enters the Qi, and food with a thick taste enters the blood. In the spleen and stomach, the spleen governs the blood and the stomach governs Qi. In other words, all foods with a thick taste will enter the spleen.
Coffee has a thick and sour taste. Sour belongs to wood, and wood restrains earth in the five elements. The spleen, stomach and pancreas both belong to earth, so drinking too much coffee will put some burden on the spleen and pancreas.
It's okay to drink it once in a while, but if you drink it for a long time, it will definitely have some effects on your body.
Furthermore, after three days in the afternoon, our human body's qi and blood will retract, and the transportation and transformation functions of the spleen and stomach will be much weaker than in the morning. The ancients once said a word called not eating after noon.
People nowadays tend to understand it as not eating after noon. In fact, this is wrong. The ancients said that not eating after noon means not eating after the afternoon, which corresponds to before dark.
When the sun passes the horizon in the morning, it is when Yang Qi is fully generated. At this time, our spleen and stomach function will be strengthened, so eating something cold in the morning will digest it faster, especially at noon, but after noon
, the sun begins to go west, the Yang Qi weakens and the Yin Qi rises, the function of the spleen and stomach will weaken. When the sun completely sets, the spleen and stomach will enter a resting state. Eating at this time is not very good. If you eat something cold,
If food is cold and difficult to digest, the body will produce more phlegm and dampness.
Qiao Ling's diet plan, in Lu Jiu's opinion, was almost a perfect and unknowing suicide method.
As long as there is a little mistake, it will not end up like this.
If it weren't for being rude, Lu Jiu would have really wanted to see what Qiao Ling's skin looked like after taking off her makeup, and how much luster she still had on her face.
"Do you have a headache every time you have your period?" Lu Jiu suddenly asked.
Qiao Ling was startled, "How did you know?"
She remembered not talking about menstruation!
Lu Jiu did not answer Qiao Ling's question, but continued to ask, "Compared with the previous times, have the menstrual flow of the last few times been more or less?"
Qiao Ling said embarrassedly, "I really haven't looked at this carefully..."
Lu Jiu said helplessly, "Is the stool formed? Is it dry or watery?"
Qiao Ling said uncertainly, "It may be dry or thin. I usually just wash it off without looking at it..."
At home, people sit on the toilet and flush immediately after defecation. Who would wipe their buttocks and look at their own poop?
this……
What Lu Jiu fears most is this kind of patient whose answers are particularly ambiguous, mainly because his pulse diagnosis is not strong, and many things can only be judged through inspection and questioning.
As a result, this girl came wearing make-up and answered the questions incorrectly. How did Lu Jiu diagnose this?
Forget it, the five internal organs are still reliable.
Lu Jiu decided not to question the girl anymore, but to directly communicate with her internal organs.
After a brief self-introduction, Lu Jiu and Qiao Ling mingled with each other and began to enter the consultation session.
"Gan Mu, compared with the past few times, have her menstrual periods been more or less?" Lu Jiu asked.
"It depends on when it was. It has been like this recently, but compared with two years ago, it is much less." Ganmu said.
oh?
Two years ago?
Could it be...
"Did her change in eating habits begin two years ago?" Lu Jiu asked.
"Well, among the things she ate before, there were also foods that I couldn't transport, but not much. In addition, the water and grain essences were abundant at that time, so the impact was not very big. But since two years ago, she started eating some of me every day.
After transporting difficult food, my ability to transport it became worse and worse." Pitu couldn't help complaining.
"How is her bowel movement?" Lu Jiu asked.
"Long and thin." Fei Jin said.
The lungs and large intestine are similar to each other, so there is nothing wrong with it making sounds.
Among the internal organs, the small intestine controls fluids and the large intestine controls fluids. The small intestine distinguishes fluids from turbidity, absorbs the essence of water and grains and absorbs a large amount of liquid. The large intestine absorbs a small amount of water and liquid from food residues and dries out the dregs. This dregs is feces.
According to the relationship between the outside and the inside, the heart and the small intestine are the outside and the inside of each other, and the lungs and the large intestine are the outside and the inside of each other.
The six internal organs seem to be unable to speak, so they can only let their respective big brothers, the five internal organs, speak for them.
After asking this, Lu Jiu was basically able to confirm Qiao Ling's situation.
This is purely due to improper diet leading to insufficient transportation and transformation of the spleen and stomach, which in turn produces excess phlegm and dampness in the body. At the same time, the intake of grains is not enough, and the biochemistry of Qi and blood is insufficient.
With the help of Chongmai, the menstrual flow is less.
Lack of qi and blood for a long time will inevitably lead to qi deficiency or blood deficiency. However, in Qiao Ling's case, it is obviously a deficiency of both qi and blood. No matter what kind of deficiency it is, it will cause headaches.
However, the pain is the same, but there are still differences. Blood deficiency causes headache and dizziness, accompanied by heart palpitations, while Qi deficiency causes a dull pain in the head that comes on and off.
If both symptoms exist, it is undoubtedly a deficiency of both qi and blood.
"When you have a headache, do you feel dizzy, then have chest tightness and palpitation?" Lu Jiu asked.
Qiao Ling nodded without any hesitation.
"Does the pain continue all the time, or does it hurt for a while, then get better and then hurt again?" Lu Jiu asked again.
Qiao Ling said, "It should be periodic. It hurts when I wake up in the morning. It gets better after eating, but it starts again after a while."
Done!
Deficiency of Qi and blood!
However, Qiao Ling's problem goes beyond just one symptom.
"In addition to having a headache this time around, is my stomach hurting more than before?" Lu Jiu asked.
Qiao Ling nodded shyly.
"Do you usually exercise?" Lu Jiu asked.
Qiao Ling said, "Yes, I have to practice dancing every week and teach students how to dance."
She is also a dance teacher, no wonder her legs are so long.
Well……
Off topic!
"Is the amount of exercise heavy enough to cause sweating?" Lu Jiu asked.
Qiao Ling said, "It's very big, and I often sweat all over the floor."
"Do you want to exercise at night?" Lu Jiu asked.
Qiao Ling said, "Let's have two or three days a week."
