We often only realize that our qi and blood may be deficient when our bodies send warning signals such as extreme fatigue and pale complexion. Next, let’s explore the five signs of abundant qi and blood, and how to restore the body to its optimal state through simple lifestyle adjustments and nutritional supplements.
The signs of abundant qi and blood include: rosy complexion, glossy and elastic skin, indicating internal health; maintaining high energy levels even with a busy schedule, quickly recovering vitality after a night’s rest; enjoying high-quality sleep, easily falling asleep, waking up feeling refreshed; normal digestive system function, enjoying meals and smooth bowel movements; healthy nails with a pink color, sturdy and naturally shiny.
To promote circulation of qi and blood, we can make the following changes: adopt a balanced diet, increase intake of iron, protein, and vitamins, reduce reliance on greasy and stimulating foods; establish regular sleep habits, aiming to sleep before 11 p.m., utilize the nighttime golden period to repair the body; engage in moderate exercise such as walking, yoga, or tai chi to enhance physical fitness and promote blood circulation; maintain emotional stability, effectively manage stress, and maintain the harmony of qi and blood.
In addition, nutritional supplementation is also key: choose easily digestible foods such as millet, red dates, and Chinese yam to enhance physical fitness; consume foods like black sesame and pig liver to provide rich iron and vitamins, promoting healthy blood; consider using Chinese herbal medicine under professional guidance, such as BaZhen Wan, to personalized nourish qi and blood; enjoy herbal teas such as Astragalus Red Date Tea to slowly nourish body and mind in daily life; utilize meridian health care, such as massage and moxibustion on specific acupoints, to stimulate the body’s self-repair ability.
By adjusting lifestyle and supplementing nutrition as mentioned above, not only can the condition of qi and blood be effectively improved, but the quality of life can also be significantly enhanced. Remember, health preservation is a long-term battle, and only by persistently caring for oneself can one reap the fruits of health and vitality.
