7 Reasons Why You Might Not Be Feeling Your Best

Chinese medicine identifies many causes of disharmony in the body that lead to

illness. They can get rather theoretical/conceptual, in the cases of fire, heat,

dampness, cold, and wind. And they can be emotion-based. It could also be one

of the following seven factors, which disrupt your flow of “Qi” and hurl you out

of balance.

So, here are seven health secrets from the Orient:

1. Work: Whether you sit at a keyboard or work laboriously on a farm, it affects

your flow of Qi. Using your mind is mostly regarded as being a good thing. In

Chinese medicine, though, if you constantly strain the brain, you can damage the

spleen and make “yin” deficient. Physical work, on the other hand, impairs Qi

over time. Tons of heavy lifting makes your lungs deficient. Working outside, of

course, exposes you to all the elements known to impact the body.

2. Lifestyle: Stresses that strike us in everyday life will impact our health and

quality of life. We know this, and Chinese medicine recognizes this. Reducing

stressors on your body is important.

3. Genes: When we inherit deficiencies from our parents, we must eat, exercise,

and live in a way that helps the situation. This goes for inheriting a tendency

toward high blood pressure, or Alzheimer’s that runs in the family. The Chinese

call these genetic factors “constitutional.” We need to minimize possible causes

of disharmony triggered by these inherited issues.

4. Diet: The world over, everyone knows the diet is critical to health. In Chinese

medicine, it’s particularly important. It would take eons to describe the

relationship of diet with your lungs, stomach, spleen, and other organs. Your

nutrition or lack thereof has a direct impact on the flow of Qi, causing conditions

of dampness and cold.

5. Exercise: Whether you exercise a lot or a little, it influences the flow of Qi in

your body. Training excessively makes one susceptible to injuries and infections

— because the body is in disharmony. The kidneys, for instance, can be

overstressed. Just like all aspects of the body need balance, so too does your

training schedule. Find a nice, happy exercise medium.

6. Sex: This isn’t male/female, but rather actual sex. Too much can damage

kidney balance. A woman who is pregnant many times can deplete the blood

and energy in her body, permanently. The Chinese system regards a decline in

sexual activity as one ages as natural.

7. Unpredictable events: This is, obviously, not something you can actively

prevent. Injuries and accidents can impact the flow of Qi. This group would

include put air pollution, food contamination, and other aspects of industrial life.
