Dr. Shen Yonghua
Spleen and stomach weakness is a common condition. It is recommended to regulate it through the following aspects:
1. Dietary adjustment: People with weak spleen and stomach should choose easily digestible, nutrient-rich foods, such as grains, vegetables, fruits, etc., and avoid spicy, greasy, raw, and cold foods, which may worsen the condition. Maintaining regular eating habits, eating at regular times and in moderate amounts, and avoiding overeating can help restore spleen and stomach function.
2. Lifestyle adjustments: Ensure adequate sleep, avoid excessive fatigue and mental stress, and engage in appropriate aerobic exercises, such as walking or tai chi, which can help strengthen physical health and promote spleen and stomach wellness.
3. Herbal regulation: Under a doctor's guidance, one may choose traditional Chinese herbs that strengthen the spleen and replenish vital energy, such as Codonopsis (Dang Shen), Astragalus (Huang Qi), and Atractylodes (Bai Zhu). These can be taken as decoctions or teas to help alleviate symptoms of spleen and stomach weakness.
4. Psychological regulation: Maintain a positive mindset and avoid excessive emotional fluctuations.
If symptoms are severe or persist without improvement, seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying treatment.
