Staying up late: men tend to consume yang energy, women tend to consume yin essence

For those who stay up late, they are not only troubled by the problem of not enough sleep, irregular meals, decreased resistance, easy to catch fire, and even women’s menstrual disorders, may be the “by-products” of staying up late. In the case of not being able to change the work and rest schedule, what can a family who stays up late do for their own bodies? The longer you sleep, the better. Many people have this experience: after a hard day’s work, although feeling very tired, but if you can sleep well at night, the next day will often feel energetic, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, this is because people work during the day to consume their own yang, sleep at night can make the yang get sufficient rest and replenishment. One of the great dangers of not sleeping when it is time to sleep is to break the balance of yin and yang in the body. Metaphorically speaking, just like when the balance of nature is broken, all kinds of disasters such as heavy rain, earthquake and tsunami may follow, if the balance of yin and yang in the human body is broken, different symptoms may appear in each organ of the body. “According to Chinese medicine, men are Yang-based and women are Yin-based. In the case of prolonged late nights, men tend to consume Yang energy and women tend to consume Yin essence.” Each person in the case of long-term stay up late may have different performance, such as some women may appear irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, love to grow “acne” and other situations, some men may become easily irritable, irritable, etc.. The people who stay up late should be especially careful about their blood pressure and blood sugar. “The blood flow becomes relatively slow at night when you sleep, if you still support the work at this time, will make the blood vessels in a state of tension, can not get enough rest.” Have seen some hypertensive patients, after resuming a normal rest and relaxation, without medication blood pressure can likewise come down. For people who can sleep late at night, it is natural to take a nap. But there are certain rules on how to make up for it. The length of sleep can vary from person to person, but overall should not be less than 6 hours, “under normal circumstances, people have 5 hours of deep sleep is basically enough, but the quality of sleep during the day is certainly not as good as at night, it is best to ensure that there are 6 to 8 hours of sleep.” Some people, once they stay up late, the next day will just hold their heads and sleep, love to sleep for as long as possible, this kind of remedial sleep method is not necessarily helpful to restore physical strength. “Chinese medicine believes that: ‘long sleep hurts gas’, once in a while sleeping 12 hours in a row may not be good, but if often, people will feel very tired, always feel no spirit after waking up, and even the more sleepy, the more lazy sleep, the result is not only Yang Qi did not make up, even the gas also hurt. ” Replenish Qi: morning Yang Qi, Yin essence at night “The Yang Qi of people at night is already insufficient, if you insist on not sleeping, the first injury is Yang Qi, followed by Yin essence.” People who stay up late for a long time usually look very haggard, easy to look aging, which is due to “injury to the qi and blood”. Staying up late one, usually should be targeted more Yang Qi and Yin essence. Among them, the morning should be to supplement the main qi, the evening is to supplement the main yin essence. The herbs that are used to replenish qi include scutellaria, ginseng, ginseng, and huai shan, which can be used to make water or a cream to take, while cooler foods have the effect of replenishing yin essence. It is recommended that people who often stay up late eat more wolfberry, “wolfberry can nourish the blood, but also nourish the kidneys and liver, good for long-term eye use.” Chinese wolfberry eating method is very flexible, both can soak water to drink, can also be put into rock sugar together after boiling into a cup in the refrigerator, “if you add some black beans better, boil the paste every morning dig a spoon to eat, each time about two or three grams is enough.” Wolfberry black bean paste Ingredients: wolfberry, black beans. How to do: add a little rock sugar, boil it into a paste and put it in a sealed jar and put it in the refrigerator. Serving method: one spoonful every morning. Strengthen the spleen and nourish the heart: snacking is expensive in less but fine. In addition to the Yang energy and Yin essence, people who stay up late for a long time are also prone to injure the “heart” and “spleen”. Chinese medicine believes that “labor injury heart and spleen”, and “spleen for the day after the source of blood biochemical”, stay up late one should pay attention to the diet of the spleen and heart, which is healthy spleen food Huai Shan, party ginseng, etc., the heart of the food is red dates, wolfberry, cinnamon, etc.. As for late night, although not a good habit for ordinary people, but the night work of people can be properly supplemented with some high-quality food, “eat at night should be more nutritious, but must be less food, Taoist medicine that ‘stomach and restlessness’, if you eat more will affect sleep. ” Cake, milk, yogurt, etc. can be used as a snack choice, “but must eat hot, long-term eating cold food will hurt the spleen and stomach.” Exercise: intensity should not be too large In terms of exercise, staying up late a family is not suitable for too much intensity of exercise, and time should not be too long, “each exercise time usually do not exceed 1 hour, if the exercise feels very fresh, all over the body is strong, that the amount of exercise is appropriate; if you come back only want to lie in bed and sleep, it means that the exercise is too much. ” Although there are ways to regulate the body after staying up late, but to get real health or to start from the root, to develop a good work and rest time!
