Drink Tea to Beat Diabetes


This is great news for you, because tea has been known to lower blood sugar in people with diabetes, and it’s been linked to weight loss and increased metabolism. In fact, laboratory studies show that tea can boost insulin activity by more than fifteen-fold, which of course means better blood sugar for you.

As if that wasn’t enough incentive to brew a cup, in one study, moderate tea drinkers (about 3 cups a day) had a 28% lower death rate after heart attacks than people who didn’t drink tea!

It doesn’t matter what you put in your cup—green, black, white, oolong—any kind of tea is great for you and loaded in antioxidants. There are a multitude of teas to try, and they vary in taste and level of caffeine, so grab a cup and see which type fits your palate. Here are some of the most common:
White tea is picked and harvested before the leaves have opened. It’s the least processed and caffeinated of all the teas.
Green tea is highest in antioxidants because it’s processed before enzymes have the chance to break down the compounds in the tea.
Oolong tea is dried for a longer time than green tea, allowing the enzymes to work longer. It’s about halfway between green and black tea in terms of drying time.
Black tea is the most common tea (think Earl Gray, English Breakfast and Lipton). The leaves are processed longer to oxidize more of the compounds. It’s the most caffeinated of the teas.
Chai is actually just black tea that’s combined with spices such as cardamom, cloves, pepper, and cinnamon—which is also magic for blood sugar, which means double-duty blood glucose stabilizing power!

No matter what tea suits your tastebuds, they’re ALL good for you—and tea has zero carbs and virtually no calories. So you can have several cups a day, as long as you don’t add sugar. So take a break from your coffee routine and brew a pot of tea instead!

The Peanut Butter Diabetes Remedy

Peanut butter packs a one-two punch against blood-sugar spikes because it contains both protein and “good” fat—the unsaturated type that protects your heart and reduces inflammation, and that also digests slowly for even blood-sugar control. In one major study, women who ate peanut butter at least five times a week were as much as 30 percent less likely to develop diabetes! Here are five creative ways to eat more peanut butter, for your health and pleasure. Just remember: Peanut butter contains lots of calories. To avoid gaining weight, keep each serving to a tablespoon.
1. Spread a tablespoon of peanut butter on whole-grain waffles or pancakes for breakfast. Add berries for fiber, too!
2. Make a peanut butter and banana sandwich on whole-grain bread for a pack-and-go lunch. Or smear half a banana with some peanut butter as a snack.
3. Spread peanut butter on whole-grain crackers instead of cheese.
4. Spread peanut butter on apple slices, celery sticks, or carrots for an extra-low GL snack.
5. Mix peanut butter into oatmeal for a creamy, high-protein, high-fiber breakfast.

The Health Epidemic Doctors Aren’t Revealing


Those who closely follow health trends know that in the world of supplements, the focus is often on “breakthrough” discoveries: herbs, antioxidants, amino acids, and other natural remedies. But sometimes, the news is really about the stuff we thought we completely understood. Case in point: vitamin D.

The importance of vitamin D to bone health has been scientifically understood since the 17th century. But it turns out that vitamin D is also important to heart health. In the U.S., for example, more than 40 percent of men and 50 percent of women have low vitamin D levels, putting them at risk for coronary artery disease and heart failure, say doctors at Cleveland Clinic. And studies have shown that people in northern Europe, have similarly low vitamin D levels as in the U.S. In many northern hemisphere countries, vitamin D deficiency has reached nearly epidemic proportions.

Vitamin D helps prevent high blood pressure, suppresses inflammation (by protecting the cells that line your blood vessels), and maintains blood-vessel flexibility. In a recent study published in the American Journal of Cardiology, researchers who analyzed data from a landmark health and nutrition study reported that low levels of vitamin D make your heart work harder. They suggest this may be the reason why adequate vitamin D levels protect you against cardiovascular disease.

A flurry of other recent studies point to vitamin D’s other heart-protective benefits. In one, researchers noted that vitamin D supplements could protect you from congestive heart failure. In another, following German and Austrian reviews of several studies about vitamin D’s heart benefits, researchers concluded that people with low vitamin D levels, or those who are at high risk for heart disease, should take 1,000 IU of vitamin D every day. And Italian researchers discovered that older people with chronic heart failure often have severe vitamin D deficiencies.

Vitamin D deficiency also has a diabetes connection. A study conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine noted that vitamin D deficiency is commonly found in people with poor diabetes control. While no cause-and-effect was established, the worse the subjects’ A1c test scores, the greater their vitamin D deficiency.

If your doctor says that your vitamin D levels are low, you’ll want to add a vitamin D supplement to your health regimen. According to the most recent research, most people who live in the northern hemisphere—especially people over 50 and those who are overweight—could benefit from taking D supplements. Here’s what you need to know.

Dosages. Though the current official recommendation is 400 IU for ages 51 to 70 and 600 IU for those over 71, many vitamin D researchers recommend taking 1,000 to 4,000 IU per day. Doctors sometimes prescribe special vitamin D supplements containing 50,000 IU, usually for elderly patients.

Cautions. Steroids such as prednisone can impair the way your body uses vitamin D, so have your doctor check your vitamin D levels regularly if you’re on long-term steroid therapy. Other drugs, including orlistat (taken for weight loss), and phenobarbital and phenytoin, (which control epileptic seizures), interfere with vitamin D absorption.

Buying tips. Look for vitamin D supplements in the form of vitamin D3, which is three times more effective at raising vitamin D blood levels than supplements containing the D2 form.

Sunglasses Function Over Fashion !

Sunglasses can be glamorous, expressive, and even iconic, as Jacqueline Kennedy taught us. They tell the world a lot about our sense of style and personal taste—so much so that we often forget they’re not just a fashion accessory, but also a very important utility that we need to protect our eyes from the harmful rays of the sun.

The sun gives off ultraviolet radiation in UVA and UVB forms that are absorbed through the pupils of our eyes. Just as these rays can be damaging to our skin, they can also do the same to our eyes. Macular degeneration and cataracts are both forms of such eye damage. In fact, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of vision loss in people over the age of 55 in the United States, and cataracts affect about half of all people over the age of 80.

People with diabetes have a 40% increased risk of developing cataracts—plus, their cataracts develop earlier and more quickly than in people who don’t have the disease. Thankfully, sunglasses with UV protection can block all of the ultraviolet radiation from both UVA and UVB rays. The problem is, most people choose fashion over function.

Nowadays, you can buy sunglasses everywhere—from drug stores to fancy department stores—but don’t let price be your guide. Not all expensive, designer shades have UV protection. Look for shades that are certified by the American Academy of Ophthalmology to block at least 99% of both UVA and UVB radiation. Glasses should fit tightly but comfortably on your face. They shouldn’t slide down your nose, or fall off if you move briskly or shake your head from side to side. Wear them every time you go outside, even if it’s cloudy, because ultraviolet radiation filters through the clouds. You should abide by the same rule that you apply to sunscreen: Just because you can’t see the sun doesn’t mean its radiation can’t harm you.

Sunglasses that have UVA and UVB protection do not have to be expensive. There are many affordable pairs to choose from—and some are downright cheap! Opt for protection first, then fashion.

Too Much TV and Computer Time May Increase Your Heart Attack Risk

Do you spend more than four hours a day of leisure time in front of the TV or computer? If so, you could be at greater risk for a heart attack and stroke.
According to a recent study from the Journal of the American College of Cardiology the more you sit during leisure time, the more likely you are to be at risk for cardiovascular issues. It’s affecting our kids, too.
What’s even scarier is that exercise did not lessen the negative impact that excessive screen time has on cardiovascular health.
If you spend your day sitting at a desk, it’s critical that you don’t sit during your leisure time as well. Go for a walk with friends, take a Zumba class, or do a mini-workout during commercial breaks. The more time you spend on your feet, the better your cardiovascular and overall health will be.

Reduce Your Risk of Diabetes

Simple additions and subtractions might help reduce your risk:
+ Broccoli and spinach
People who ate more leafy green vegetables were less likely to develop diabetes, a recent analysis of four studies showed. Adding a little more than a serving daily could cut risk 14 percent, researchers say.

+ Fish oil
When overweight mice were fed fish oils, their levels of inflammation—which can lead to diabetes—dropped. Fish oil supplements may offer the same help to humans, say scientists from the University of California, San Diego.

+ Breast-feeding
Mothers who breast-fed their newborns for as little as a month cut their own risk of developing diabetes later in life by as much as 33 percent.

– White rice
In a study of nearly 200,000 people, those who ate five or more cups of white rice a week were 17 percent more likely to wind up with diabetes than people who ate less than one serving a month. Surprisingly, switching to brown rice or barley was better than not eating rice at all.

– Staying up late
Sleeping less than six hours per night can increase your risk of developing diabetes by 30 percent by impairing your body’s ability to regulate blood sugar, says a review of ten studies.

– Smoking
Having even a few cigarettes a day can raise your risk of diabetes by 30 percent or more.

7 steps to keep you from getting sick

In The Secrets of People Who Never Get Sick author Gene Stone profiles 25 people who are almost preternaturally healthy to find how they’ve successfully fended off illness their whole lives, then looks for the scientific evidence behind their claims. Here are a few of his easy-to-follow tips:

1. Hydrogen Peroxide. Every morning, Bill Thompson, a 63-year-old business owner, fills his bathroom sink with lukewarm water, adds a coffee-cupful of hydrogen peroxide, closes his eyes and dunks his head in the bowl, blowing air out of his nose to get the mixture circulating. Why? Studies show that when the “good” bacteria in your body encounter harmful ones, they excrete a bit of hydrogen peroxide, so the theory is this might boost your natural germ-fighters. Thompson hasn’t had a cold in two decades, and his doctor claims he has the EKG of a twenty-year-old.
2. Napping. It’s been shown that lack of sleep causes weight gain, leads to a compromised immune system and increases the production of cortisol, a hormone that triggers stress. But Sarnoff Mednick, professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Southern California, doesn’t worry about such things. The 82-year-old has taken an afternoon nap for most of his adult life and never suffers from colds or flu. The fact is, until about the 13th century and the invention of mechanical clocks, humans napped daily, and we’d do well to follow our ancestors’ example. The best time for a short snooze: Between the hours of one and three in the afternoon.
3. Friends. You might not think having a social network would count a much as diet and exercise when it comes to good health. But studies have found good buddies can protect against everything from memory loss to heart attacks to infectious diseases. Sydney Kling, a former nurse and teacher, can’t remember being ill in all her 75 years, and she credits this to the fact that she is constantly seeking out new friends. Sociability, she claims, increases self-esteem, which in turn, supports the immune system.
Among the other ways the book posits will help you to stay well and live longer:
4. Cold showers. A small body of scientific literature indicates exposure to cold water may increase the body’s natural antioxidants.
5. Stress reduction. If you’re constantly frazzled, you’re at higher risk for everything from a heart attack to diabetes and irritable bowel syndrome or so researchers think.
6. Brewer’s yeast. It’s packed with B vitamins, protein and trace minerals, all vital for good health.
7. Lifting Weights. Regular weight training may reduce the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, colon and breast cancer, depression and diabetes.

很好的醫學常識─注意身體發出的求救訊號

一、心臟出現問題時我們的身體會產生的現象會有:
1.
    心臟有問題呼吸會不順暢,胸口會悶也會刺痛,刺痛的時間是短暫的,一發作幾秒鐘就過了,最多一分鐘。
2.
    嚴重了會從前胸痛到後背膏肓肩胛的地方,十天半個月會來一次,三、五個月發作一次,時間越短越嚴重。
3.
    心臟不好會牽扯到左邊手臂酸、麻、痛,因為我們心臟的神經與左手臂的神經是同一條,所以左邊的心臟有問題會牽扯到左手臂。
4.
    心臟也會牽扯到頸部僵硬、轉動不靈活,早上起床脖子經常扭到;因為心臟有問題,頸動脈會狹窄,血液供應不順暢,旁邊的筋失血自然僵硬。
5.
心臟有問題,火毒(心火)就會上升,火毒慢慢上升到了額頭停留在這裏,不可能從額頭跑出來,停留時間久了,這裏就會長爛瘡,很多人會頭昏,到達這裏會經過兩個面頰,經過眼睛,所以心臟有問題,兩個面頰會泛紅。
6.
    另外,火毒到了頂就會往下降,從額頭順著兩個眉陵骨繞著太陽穴穿過我們的後腦,延著頸部進入咽喉,進入腸子,從肛門出去;所以火毒降下來,兩個眉陵骨就會酸痛;
有的朋友機能亢進,慢慢眼睛壓力會大,眼睛會往前暴出來,即所謂的"凸眼症"
7.
    火毒降下來,順著兩個太陽穴,太陽穴在兩側就叫"偏頭",血管就會擴張,一擴張就刺激到旁邊的神經,痛的受不了。
8.
    慢慢的火毒會從後腦下來,這就開始發脹,感覺怪怪的,接著穿到頸部,頸部停留過久,淋巴就會腫大;
慢慢進入咽喉,咽喉就容易發炎,經常會感覺有東西哽在裏面,吞又吞不下去,吐又吐不出來。再來火毒會進入腸子,腸子會燥進,越來越熱,溫度太高水份會來緩和,水份來的多來的快,腸子裏的糞便就會爛掉,我們就會拉肚子;水份來的不足,糞便就會乾燥,排不出來。
9.
    心臟有問題會造成我們的脾胃受傷,脾胃一受傷,消化吸收的能力就降低,
吃進來的食物不能消化,最後會胃脹,那些東西會反沖回頭,叫做"胃酸"
10.
      心臟有問題,養份不能輸送,總覺得體力不夠,想吃多點來補充,過多的食物會帶來大量的糖份,排除糖份都靠肝臟、腎臟,過多的糖份會導致肝、腎衰竭,很容易得 "糖尿病"
11..
      心臟有問題,人的神經就會衰退,一點事情就會緊張,就會受到驚嚇,晚上睡覺不易入睡,睡著以後就做惡夢,惡夢會延續,所謂的"惡夢連連"
更年期婦女為什麼會面赤、面紅、身體會熱、皮膚會癢,因為心臟、腎臟不調合,加上內分泌混亂,女性賀爾蒙不足所造成的。 
二、肝臟有問題時尤其得了肝炎,以下的4個現象不可以有任何一個現象經常性的發作 1. 右上腹悶痛。
2.
右後腰酸痛。
3.
右肩感覺酸、麻、痛,甚至造成右手舉不起來。
4.
小腿晚上睡覺時容易抽筋。
 
肝臟出現問題時我們的身體會產生的現象會有
1.
    肝臟像拳頭一樣,有正面,有背面正面如果硬化、腫大,會擠到我們的肋間神經,肋間神經就會脹痛;如果在背後,會造成右腰酸痛。
2.
    肝臟不好,晚上睡眠品質會不好,翻來覆去不容易睡著;起床後口幹、口苦、口臭,刷牙時牙齦會流血。平常為食物沒有興趣,不吃不餓,吃一點點就有飽感;
走路走個兩步小腿就會很酸,會感覺全身越來越疲勞,手腳也是越來越沒有力。
3.
    肝臟不好的人,腳會經常扭到,扭到了又好不了;不小心割傷了,傷口也不容易癒合。
4.
    喜歡喝酒的朋友,忽然酒量減少了。或是有久治不愈的皮膚病,周而復始好不了,都要注意肝。 
三、當腎臟出現問題時我們的身體會產生的現象會有:

1.
    腎臟有兩條通路,從腳底的湧泉上來,走到腳後根內側,再順著腿的內側往上走。
第一條從後方上來走到腰與膀胱結合,再順著脊椎兩側往上走,
當我們腎臟不好,氣會不足,血就上不來;因此腰會酸,背會痛,
再往上到頸部,頸部會覺得僵硬;到了後腦勺會感覺昏脹不舒服,到了頭頂會覺悶脹,過了頭頂往下到兩個眉心之間的"精明穴",氣不到會覺兩眼乾澀。
第二條從前面上來,經過大腿跟我們的生殖器及肝臟結合,最後延著身體兩側到胸前與肺臟結合。
腎臟有問題,大腿兩側會酸、軟、無力,經常發癢。 無法把氣送到胸口與肺臟結合,我們的呼吸就慢慢不順暢,久了以後裏面的氣管就會自然閉鎖,一閉鎖空氣就不易進來,人就會感覺到窒息,必須"乾咳" 來減緩它。
2.
    氣不足不能與膀胱結合,造成膀胱中括約肌的細胞就容易代謝死亡而造成松弛,排尿狀況不好,頻尿,久了以後細胞慢慢壞死,最後就尿失禁。
3.
    看東西的瞳孔部份叫做"視覺",就是由腎臟直接控制,腎有問題,不能將腎水送達到眼睛,眼會覺得幹、酸、澀、慢慢視覺就會模糊,嚴重會出現黑影,叫做"飛蚊症",久了以後壓力會越來越大,造成"青光眼"
4.
    早上起床,腳後跟會不舒服,因為人在休息時,血液是在肝,腎臟會暫時缺血,起床須把血液送至全身,由於腎臟不好,氣太弱,血液來的太慢,關節失血自然就會僵硬,活動一下,血液迴圈到了關節才會輕鬆。
5.
    人活著就會講話,講話耗元氣,本身腎臟不好氣太弱,再把氣耗掉就會不想說話,因工作不能不說話時,聲音就會出不來,就會沙啞。
6.
    想要深呼吸總是覺得氣不夠,自然呼吸就會快,呼吸一短促,鼻腔就會缺血,鼻腔的黏膜因為缺血,抵抗力就會減低,空氣中的塵蹣就會破壞它,破壞了當然就會敏感,天氣潮濕、變化,承受不了就會發作,稱為"過敏性鼻炎"
7.
    男性朋友的攝護腺,婦女的卵巢、子宮都間接、直接跟腎臟有關,因此,腎髒有了問題,到了一定的年齡,攝護腺就會肥大;
婦女因腎臟不好,卵巢、子宮就會虛弱、寒冷,虛寒就沒有力量將每個月應該排出的經血排掉,排不乾淨都還滯留在子宮裏,每個月經血都要出來,不能完全排掉都停留在子宮裏,久了難免造成血塊堆積,形成腫瘤,稱為 "子宮肌瘤"
8.
    每個月經血出不來,在裏面來回撞擊,子宮的內膜會受不了這些經血會受不了這些經血在裏面的推擠,就會變形、異位,稱為"子宮內膜異位";慢慢的內分泌就會混亂,過多的分泌物,赤白帶就會形成。
9.
    時間久了,腎臟越來越不好,氣越來越弱,手腳就會開始冰涼,尤其到了冬天特別冰冷。
慢慢久了,坐也不是,站也不是,走也不是,肯定會造成神經受傷,晚上睡覺不好入睡,好不容易睡著了,一點點聲音就會被吵醒,縱使睡著了,整夜都在作夢,有睡跟沒睡一樣,天天都很累。 
四、脾胃出現問題時我們的身體會產生的現象會有:
1.
肩膀疼痛可能的症狀:
右肩經常痛時"肝臟"有問題。
左肩酸痛時"心臟"""有問題。
兩肩同時感覺不舒服,脖子經常覺得僵硬時,肯定是"消化器官"出了問題。
2.
偏頭痛:你常感覺太陽穴的兩邊有疼痛的現象,雖然長期求診吃藥還是無效,你可能同時還伴有便秘.排便困難或腹瀉及胃腸脹氣等現象。這只要治好消化器官的毛病,自然可治好困擾多時的偏頭痛。
3.
    一般人都以為"便秘""腹瀉"是兩件分開的事,可是有些人會有便秘及拉肚子同時交替出現的現象,平時常覺得食欲減退.腹部脹氣.胸部有壓迫感或心悸.呼吸困難及失眠等現象,而且感覺自己的體力一天天減弱.肌肉消瘦,又查不出原因, 有以上現象你可能已罹患"慢性腸炎",不趕快處理可能會造成致命的腹膜炎。
4.
 
小腸與淋巴系統:不明原因的疼痛經常困擾我們,若你的咽喉沒有發炎 ,但經常不舒服或疼痛,脖子兩側也經常脹痛,肩膀與手臂外側也會有不舒服與脹痛,但查不出原因 ,經過推拿. 按摩也只能站時紓解,此現象請多注意"小腸" "淋巴系統 "已亮起紅燈。
5.
 
大腸: 當你經常覺得口幹.口苦 ,想要多喝水,而且容易鼻塞.流鼻涕 ;平時沒有蛀牙, 但牙齒會痛.脖子兩側會脹大些不舒服.無法提重的東西,以上在告訴我們 "大腸" 已亮起紅燈。 
五、糖   尿   1.    糖尿病不只是胰島素不足而已,而是腎臟、肝臟、心臟都不是很健康的情形下所形成的,因此不易醫治。而且易造成其他病變如:腎臟衰竭、中風、失明、截肢……………
2.
    糖尿發展到一定階段會明顯出現三多一少的症狀。三多(吃多、喝多、尿多)一少(體重減少)。
糖尿病患者可能發生下列幾項症狀:
1.
    視力異常:因糖尿會引起眼睛末梢微血管阻礙,造成眼睛易疲勞、視力模糊、細小字看不清,嚴重者會導致失明。
2.
 
易疲勞:因體內血糖無法進入細胞,導致全身無力。
3.
    皮膚抵抗力差:體質通常呈現酸化,末梢血管易堵塞,傷口不易癒合、易化膿、也易引起牙周病、香港腳。
4.
    神經障礙:肌肉和神經組織得不到滋養,因此阻塞迴圈不良,指尖出現麻痛,重者甚至失去感覺。
5.
    傷口不易癒合:糖尿末期,因末梢血管壞死,傷口發黑、潰爛不易癒合,有時甚至需截肢以延續生命。
可怕的併發症:
1.
酮酸中毒、乳酸中毒、低血糖而引起休克、昏迷。
2.
心血管病變:動脈硬化、腦中風、心肌梗塞、下肢皮膚變黑壞死。
3.
腎臟病變、眼睛病變、神經病變及各種感染。 

六、頭     頭痛不是病,痛起來要人命,根據調查顯示,全台至少60萬人有頭痛情形,頭痛藥越吃越多,但卻越吃越無效,頭痛情形更加惡化,還有部分民眾每月至少頭痛15天以上,3成以上因而濫服頭痛藥,結果頭痛依舊,卻養成吃藥成癮的惡習。

其實頭痛和內臟有一定關係。依位置來說:前額反射心臟,兩側太陽穴附近腸胃,頭頂心和後腦杓則是腎功能異常,耳後兩側反射肝臟,頭昏為腎氣不足,但是頭會暈眩則要多注意肝臟,尤其是男性。 
七、便    現代人生活忙碌,常食用低纖維質的速食,不常喝水,不常運動,往往有便意,卻無法正常排便,加上情緒不穩,服用藥物或不當使用營養補充品,也會造成便秘。長期便秘的人,因為糞便累積在大腸的時間太長,常有脾氣不好或內分泌失調等後遺症。

其 實,造成便秘的真正原因,跟心火是有很大的關係,火毒往下傳動至腸胃,會造成腸子蠕動過慢,水分被吸收,糞便來不及排出,形成便秘。而若蠕動太快,水分來 不及被吸收,則會變成腹瀉。甚至心火往下到直腸肛門而形成痔瘡。便秘時間太長,則有可能是腸燥症、結腸癌、糖尿病的警訊。
八、肩膀或頸部酸痛 不通則痛 ,痛則不通.主要因素即是由內臟氣血運行不順,與臟腑機制不健全所導致
一般而言,肩膀或頸部酸痛是很有學問的,並非所謂運動傷害,五十肩,韌帶發炎等單純原因而已所以,為什麼民眾花了時間和金錢,長期複健,痛點注射類固醇,或服用止痛藥,達不到效果之外,精神的煎熬更為痛苦。
其實,酸痛的位置可反射出內臟問題,
像是長期左邊頸部和肩膀酸痛,主要因為心臟位於人體左側,長期心火上升,或心臟功能出了問題自然會出現氣血阻塞,就會有左邊頸部或肩膀僵硬,酸痛,轉動不靈活,或常常習慣落枕....甚至會延伸至左肩胛骨酸痛。
同樣的,肝臟位於人體右方,當肝陽上亢,肝火上升時,剛才所提及之酸痛現象就會出現在右側身體.有時酸痛位置會跑,會由單側變為兩側,因為長期心肝火氣都未消除,火往下傳動後,會造成腸胃蠕動障礙,而肩膀兩側即是反射腸胃。
如果每天能利用一點方法,把身體毒素向體外排掉,保持氣血通暢 ,酸痛毛病自然消除!
九、腰 酸 背 痛 
人體組織結構,透過現代醫學能非常正確的告訴我們,血是行走於血管之內,血管是隱藏於肌肉之內,而肌肉則附在骨架之上。
肌肉與骨之間則有氣,又稱為五臟之氣
年齡漸長氣血漸弱,尤其更年期雌激素減少,更加速骨質流失,所以應該多加保養。否則容易造成骨頭表皮剝離。
長期姿勢不良或意外傷害都容易造成長骨刺或椎間盤突出,因而使氣血行進時壓迫到神經產生不適。
通常只會影響一條脊髓神經,而坐骨四周神經叢,由上而下直達腳尖,所以坐骨神經影響範圍較廣,疼痛情形更為嚴重。
