Xiaoxue health
Xiaoxue stays away from depression: don't let the weather affect your mood.
Before and after the light snow solar terms, the weather is often cold and gloomy, and people's mood will be affected at this time, especially those with depression are more likely to aggravate their illness.
From the perspective of TCM etiology, the occurrence of depression is mostly caused by internal factors, that is, seven emotions (joy, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear and shock), such as "anger hurts the liver, spleen, lung and kidney". The changes of seven emotions that often occur in people's daily life are generally not pathogenic. Only under the sudden, intense or long-term emotional stimulation, the normal physiology of human body will be affected, the function of viscera and qi and blood will be disordered, and diseases will occur.
Modern medical research has found that among the neurotransmitters related to depression, the 5- hydroxytryptamine system in the brain is closely related to seasonal changes. The function of 5- hydroxytryptamine system is the strongest in spring and summer, and the weakest in autumn and winter. When the sunshine time is reduced, the brain of patients with depression is short of 5- hydroxytryptamine, followed by a series of symptoms such as insomnia, irritability and pessimism.
For people with depressive tendencies or symptoms, they should adjust their mentality, remain optimistic and restrain their anger; Often participate in some outdoor activities to enhance physical fitness; Get more sunshine to keep the stability of 5- hydroxytryptamine in the brain; Listen to more music, and let the beautiful melody add fun to life. Wu Shang, a medical scientist in the Qing Dynasty, said, "It is better to take medicine than to watch flowers to relieve boredom and listen to songs to relieve worries."
Among many foods, bananas are the most suitable fruits. Bananas contain substances that can help the human brain produce 5- hydroxytryptamine; Dishes can be fried with celery and mushrooms, that is, 400 grams of celery and 50 grams of water-soaked mushrooms, and fried with seasonings can alleviate the occurrence of depression.
The ancients emphasized that the exterior should conform to the changes of nature and avoid the invasion of evil spirits. For example, the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, Su Wen and Gu Naizhen said: "Empty evil thieves, avoid it sometimes; Despair and nothingness, the true qi follows, the spirit stays inside, and the disease is always safe? " Beware of nothingness internally and wait and see. For example, as a proverb in Su Wen says, "Silence means that meat is closed and rejected. Although there is a strong wind and poison, it can be harmful. " In other words, a quiet mind and an open mind can keep the spirit inside without being separated and maintain the physiological state of physical and mental unity. This is the best explanation for "quiet people live long, impatient people die".
Light snow is easy to get angry: eat more foods that clear fire and reduce qi.
After the light snow, the northwest wind blew more. At this time, the north has already been heated indoors, but it is cold outdoors. If people wear too tight, the heat in the body can't be emitted, and it is easy to have an "internal fire"-getting angry. Its performance is oral ulcer, and the acne on the face is even more than usual.
In addition, because of the cold weather, people like to eat hot food, but it is best to eat less spicy food, because it will also encourage internal fire. We should eat more seasonal foods such as white radish and cabbage, which are not only rich in vitamins and various trace elements, but also can clear fire and reduce qi and promote digestion. You can also drink some soup, such as Chinese cabbage and bean curd soup, spinach tofu soup, mutton and radish soup. , both warm and nourishing.
Xiaoxue solar terms
Light snow means the time and degree of snowfall. Snow is the product of cold weather. There was once a folk story: in October, the light snow in early winter rose and pointed at ourselves. When it is cloudy, the cold is not deep and the snow is not big, hence the name Xiaoxue. At this time, the area north of the Yellow River has reached Mengdong where the north wind blows and snowflakes float. At this time, the first snow will appear in northern China. Although the amount of snow is limited, it reminds us that it is the season to keep out the cold and keep warm. Before and after the light snow solar term, the weather is often cold and gloomy, and people's mood will also be affected by it at this time, especially those friends with depression are more likely to aggravate their illness, so in this solar term, I will focus on talking with friends with depression about how to learn to nurse themselves in days with little light.
According to the viewpoint of TCM etiology, "there are three evils", that is to say, there are no more than three causes: internal causes (emotional excess and injury), external causes (six sexual assaults) and no internal and external causes (atrioventricular, golden knife, traumatic injury and poisoning). The occurrence of depression is mostly caused by internal factors, that is, seven emotions, which include seven emotional changes: joy, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear and shock. People often have changes in worldly desires in their daily lives. This change is a different reflection of objective external things, a normal psychological activity and a normal human body. Physiological phenomena generally do not cause diseases. Only under the sudden, intense or long-term emotional stimulation, the normal physiology of human body will be affected, and the function of viscera and qi and blood will be disordered, leading to the occurrence of diseases, just like "anger hurts the liver, likes sadness, misses the spleen, worries about the lungs and fears hurting the kidneys". It shows that people's mental state reflects and embodies people's mental activities, and the health of mental activities directly affects the occurrence and development of mental illness, which can also be said to be the key to mental illness. Therefore, Chinese medicine believes that mental activity is closely related to depression, and it is not unreasonable to attribute the cause of depression to seven emotions. Therefore, it is particularly important for friends with depression to adjust their mental health.
"Su Wen On Ancient Naivety" says: "Fake evil steals wind, so sometimes avoid it; Despair and nothingness, the true qi follows, the spirit stays inside, and the disease is always safe? " There is also "Su Wen Angry for Heaven", which says: "Quiet makes the meat boil and refuse, although there is a fierce wind, it can harm people." The ancients explained from both internal and external aspects that externally, we should conform to the changes of nature and avoid the invasion of evil spirits; Internally, we should keep nothing and keep quiet. That is, the mind is clean and the mood is smooth, so that the spirit can be kept in it without separation and the physiological state of the human body can be maintained. It is also the best interpretation of "quiet people live long, impetuous people die".
In addition, modern medical research has found that seasonal changes have a direct impact on patients with depression, because among the neurotransmitters related to depression, the 5- hydroxytryptamine system in the brain is closely related to seasonal changes. The function of 5- hydroxytryptamine system is the strongest in spring and summer, and the weakest in autumn and winter. The reduction of sunshine time leads to the lack of 5- hydroxytryptamine in the brain of patients with depression, followed by a series of symptoms such as insomnia, irritability and pessimism.
