As one of the five internal organs of the human body, the lung is not only responsible for breathing and exchanging qi, but also relates to the vitality of cells. If the lungs are damaged, every corner of the body will be affected, so maintaining the lungs is particularly crucial.
In recent years, lung cancer has become the number one "killer" of malignant tumors in China. The numbers behind this are even more shocking: in China, there are nearly 800000 new cancer patients every year, most of whom have lost their precious lives due to lung cancer. Research estimates that by 2025, the number of new cancer cases in China may exceed 1 million. This soaring speed indeed requires our high attention, and cancer prevention screening and improving health awareness are particularly crucial.
With the deepening pursuit of health among modern people, many people have chosen walking as a form of exercise. As is well known, walking contributes to cardiovascular health, but little is known about how and how long it takes to truly have an effect. Not to mention that in order to fully care for the lungs, it still needs to be done from multiple dimensions.
Below, I will share with you some lung care methods from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine:
1. Runfei Ziyin
In daily life, we should pay attention to drinking more water because sufficient water can nourish our lungs and help cells exchange gas. Especially for friends who frequently cough, drinking plenty of water can help dilute sticky phlegm and facilitate its smooth discharge.
2. Residential environment
Creating a fresh environment for the lungs is crucial. Ensure that there is fresh air indoors and avoid the inhalation of foul air. Humidifiers can be placed at home to maintain appropriate humidity and prevent the lungs from drying out easily.
3. Follow the principle of 'work at sunrise and rest at sunset'
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the regularity of daily life. Maintaining a stable routine, especially sufficient sleep, is beneficial for the recovery and rest of the lungs.
4. Maintain inner peace
The ups and downs of mood can also affect our lungs. Laughing not only makes people feel happy, but also helps to expand their lungs. Daily soothing exercises such as Tai Chi and Qigong can help increase lung capacity and make breathing more comfortable.
5. Stay away from tobacco
The harmful substances in tobacco are the "enemies" of the lungs. For the health of the lungs, it is necessary not to smoke or stay away from second-hand smoke.
The health of every corner of the body cannot be separated from our careful care, especially the important organ of the lungs. I hope everyone can better protect their lungs and live a healthy life from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine.
