Running aggravates dampness, which may be caused by spleen deficiency in the patient’s body and humidity in the external environment.
According to Chinese medicine, “movement generates Yang”, and exercise can enhance the Yang energy of the human body. Currently, clinicians believe that appropriate running has the effect of warming the meridians and dispersing cold (warming the meridians to dispel cold), promoting the circulation of qi, nourishing yin and yang, and helping to dispel cold, dampness and other pathological products in the body.
But untimely running not only can not play the effect of warming the meridians and dispersing cold, and promoting qi and collaterals, but will also make the body dampness aggravation.
1. Spleen deficiency: Spleen deficiency includes spleen qi deficiency, spleen yang deficiency and other types of evidence. If you run too much and sweat profusely, you can hurt the fluid and consume the qi, resulting in aggravating the degree of deficiency of spleen qi. The spleen is the master of transportation (the spleen has the function of digesting food, absorbing food essence and water and transferring it to the whole body), if the spleen qi is deficient and transportation is out of order, it will lead to the internalization of water and dampness, and aggravate the dampness in the body.
2. Environmental humidity: the movement of Yang, coupling (pores) open. If you are still running outside on a rainy day, the external dampness in nature can enter the body through the coupling, but aggravate the body’s dampness.
Patients who want to run for fitness, it is recommended to consult a professional physician, under the guidance of the physician to carry out their own exercise.
