She recalled: "At first, I had the idea of breaking the valley because my body was uncomfortable at that time, such as my mouth was sticky and not refreshing, and my throat was blocked by phlegm, especially within a few hours after eating, the whole person was groggy, unconscious and uncomfortable." According to Chinese medicine, it is very similar to mild food accumulation or a state of spleen deficiency and phlegm. So, she called another doctor in the physical therapy department and confirmed the precautions to him again, because that doctor had studied and practiced the valley-piercing professionally. In those years when Qigong was very popular, a famous Qigong master talked about the core point of Bigu, that is, "Eat if you want, don't eat if you don't want, and the more you don't eat, the more energetic you are." To really break through the valley, these three points must be met at the same time, and both are indispensable.
She said: "One of the most important skills of my success is to carry a small plastic bag with me, which contains a packet of crispy noodles, an apple and some spiced peanuts." These three things are staple food, fruit and dried fruit. I just want to make myself feel that as long as I am hungry and want to eat, I have staple food, fruit and snacks at any time, and I don't need to restrain myself at all. In this way, the mentality will be relaxed and you can clearly face your true feelings and needs. "
When everyone instinctively thinks it's time to eat three meals a day, she will take out these three things and ask herself, "am I hungry now?" Do I want to eat? "But every time the conclusion is: there is no obvious hunger, and there is no obvious desire to eat. She said: "The choice of these three things is very particular, that is, food that is enough to satisfy hunger but not attractive. Only when you are really hungry will you have a desire to eat. Never choose delicious food, such as chocolate, which is very appetizing. "
She said: "In the process of crossing the valley, I can clearly feel that every time I miss a meal, my mouth, body and mind are refreshed, which makes me more confident and more and more looking forward to the passage of time. In the last few days, not only the sticky feeling in my mouth disappeared, but even my saliva became clear and sweet. And my energy is getting stronger and stronger. I not only work as usual every day, but also discuss problems with my colleagues from morning till night. Even though everyone is tired, I am still full of energy. It is very unexpected to feel that you are' refined'. "
"Especially in recent days, I happened to go to Peking University Swimming Pool with my colleagues for a winter swim. I haven't eaten for so many days, but I am the one with the best physical strength among my colleagues, and I am very happy both physically and mentally. I saw another girl shivering in the water with blue lips, but she persisted. I think it's funny. She couldn't help laughing in the swimming pool and almost choked on the water. Because of the long-term lack of exercise, everyone's muscles became sore the next day. Unexpectedly, my colleague hurt for a week, and I will be fine the next day. "
It can be seen that although it is an extreme and professional way to eat, even contrary to people's common sense of life, it is not without traces. No matter ancient or modern, there are theoretical researchers and practitioners at home and abroad. For ordinary people, proper dieting, short-term fasting, giving a holiday to the spleen and stomach, clearing the warehouse, reducing the burden and detoxifying, and recuperating have important reference significance in three aspects: disease prevention, treatment and health preservation.
