Luan Jiaqin, Gong Jinru (Ph.D. of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine) The miraculous medical case of white rice "I used to feel thirsty and drink a lot of water every day. When I got up in the morning, I was bloated. After reading Luan After the doctor talked about the importance of staple food on his blog, I started drinking a big bowl of rice porridge every morning. After persisting for a while, I found that I didn’t feel thirsty all day long and I felt much more energetic.” Dr. Luan According to medical theory, people instinctively want to drink water to quench their thirst when they are thirsty, so some people think that thirst is a signal that the body is short of water and must drink water quickly. In fact, thirst does not mean that there is less water in the human body, but that there is too much water - the principle of "like-spiritedness" just shows that too much water in the human body will lead to thirst. Because when there is too much water in the body, "like the same qi", it needs more water, so it gives people a signal of thirst and makes people drink water. It takes a while for the water that is drunk to merge with the water in the body. In this way, in a short period of time, The internal thirst will be relieved, but it won't be long before the person becomes thirsty again. Therefore, people who love drinking water are more likely to become thirsty and often feel thirsty after taking a bath. However, those who are not easily thirsty in the first place will soon become thirsty once they imitate others to drink a few glasses of water a day. Because of this, to quench your thirst, you must not indulge yourself in drinking water, but drink something else. Everyone must pay attention to thirst. The reason why you are easily thirsty is because there is too much water in the heart meridian, which affects the heart qi. If you don't treat it and just drink water blindly and let it develop, it will lead to heart disease. When the body's physical condition is poor, thirst will turn into chest tightness. In severe cases, it will directly turn into diseases such as angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. Easily thirsty is a precursor to heart disease. Therefore, do not think that drinking water when thirsty is normal. Pay attention to these precursors of serious diseases.
