If you keep warm and hungry, you’ll never get sick.
With the change of season from winter to spring, is everyone feeling unwell? It is said that there are several secrets to maintaining good physical condition. These include avoiding additives and other substances that are considered harmful to the body as much as possible, living a regular life, and exercising moderately. In this issue, we introduce the ideas of Dr Yumi Ishihara, who claims that to avoid illness or to cure illness, it is important to keep the body warm and to stay hungry.
In winter, when your body gets cold, don’t you feel sick or depressed? Many people think this is normal, but not many people explain this in detail. However, don’t you remember your parents telling you in the past that you should wear a belly band to keep your stomach cool, or that you shouldn’t wear short skirts to keep your legs warm?
Air conditioning has evolved wonderfully over the last few decades, and there are fewer cold places in buildings and even railway stations, so the body is less likely to get cold. It is probably true that we are not as careful as we used to be about keeping our bodies cool.
Your stomach is full of health information
It is not only that the stomach should not be cooled, but on the contrary, Dr Ishihara says that by touching the stomach, it is possible to infer various health conditions of a person.
“For example, if you touch your stomach with the palm of your hand and it is cold, you can guess that your whole body is cold, in other words, you are in a state of hypothermia, and your metabolism and immunity in your body are low”.
In addition,
Warm above the navel, but cold below the navel – Common in women, the lower half of the body is cold and blood, heat and qi cannot exist in the lower half of the body. Palpitations, breathlessness, nausea, facial redness and pulsation, irritability, anxiety and agitation are manifestations of menopausal disorders and autonomic nervous system disorders specific to women.
When the abdomen is supine (lying on the back) and the finger is pressed against the abdomen, the beating of the abdominal aorta is palpable.
Tap the abdomen and hear a clattering sound ・・・ Suggests that there is gastroptosis and that there is a lot of water not only in the stomach but also in the pouches and hollows in the body (sinuses, tear ducts, alveoli, subcutis, etc.), leading to allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, tears and watery phlegm, swelling and water weight gain.
Various diagnoses can be made by touching the abdomen because most of the internal organs are located in the abdomen, which is packed with what can be described as the vital organs of the human body. The gut also contains many white blood cells that play a central role in immunity, such as macrophages and T-lymphocytes. In other words, warming up the abdomen is the key to stimulating the function of all internal organs and improving health.
Another key is diet
Dr Ishihara says another key to good health is hunger (diet).
To promote this practice, he runs a sanatorium in Izu that promotes health through carrot juice fasting, a brown rice diet and hot springs. For better health, it may be a good idea to take a trip to Izu.
