探寻生命之道，慎思之又慎思。在这浩瀚的宇宙中，生命如同星辰，闪烁着无尽的奥秘。让我们一起踏上这段旅程，探寻那隐藏在生命深处的智慧之光。

Seek the path of life, ponder it with caution once more. In this vast universe, life is like stars, shimmering with endless mysteries. Let us embark on this journey together to explore the light of wisdom hidden deep within the essence of life.

1. 在中医的概念里，不仅有积食，还有「积饮」。这个「饮」，就是你们痛恨的湿气、湿邪的一种具体表现，它由水液不得运化、病理性地滞留于体内所致，也就是所谓的「水滞为饮，饮凝成痰」。

1. In the concept of traditional Chinese medicine, there is not only "food accumulation," but also "fluid retention." This "fluid retention" is a specific manifestation of the dampness and pathogenic dampness that you hate. It is caused by the body's inability to transform fluid, resulting in pathological retention within the body, which is what is referred to as "water stagnation turns into fluid retention, and fluid condenses into phlegm."

2. 沉默是金，少说话，是颐养自己最好的方式。

2. Silence is gold; speaking less is the best way to cultivate oneself.

3. 通俗来说，赤小豆和薏米的趋向都是往下走的。虽然可以将身体里滞留的水湿之邪，通过利尿的方式排出去，但它同时也会扰动身体里宝贵的阴液，容易造成白白的流失。

3. In通俗 terms, both red bean and Job's tears tend to have a downward trend. Although it is possible to expel the retained dampness in the body through diuretic methods, it will also disturb the precious Yin fluid in the body, which is prone to being lost unnecessarily.

4. 没有什么祛湿的方法是可以一用就灵、一劳永逸、人人适用。树立正确的思路，养成良好的习惯，其实远比手里攥着一堆方法试来试去要强得多。

4. There is no method for removing dampness that can work instantly, permanently, and universally for everyone. Cultivating the correct mindset and developing good habits is actually far superior to trying out a bunch of methods one after another in hand.

5. 当下流行的祛湿大法，除了红豆薏米水外，可能很多人会依靠运动、汗蒸的方式来进行。更有甚者，会去搞一些诸如火疗、督脉灸之类的调理来发汗，貌似祛湿又排毒。

5. The popular method for removing dampness now, in addition to the red bean and mung bean water, many people may rely on exercise and steaming to induce sweating. Some even go to extremes to use methods such as fire therapy and督脉灸 to stimulate sweating, seemingly for both dampness removal and detoxification.

6. 皇帝三宫六院七十二嫔妃，还有不计其数的宫女，所谓身在花丛中，想怎么风流就可以怎么风流。自己爽够了，寿运也就消耗殆尽了。

6. The emperor has three palaces, six yards, and seventy-two concubines, not to mention countless palace girls. As they say, being amidst the flower crowd, they can indulge in their pleasures as they wish. After they satisfy themselves, their lifespan will also come to an end.

7. 肥：意为肥美滋腻，不仅指我们常规意义上的肉类、内脏、动物头蹄，还包括：①油炸、煎烤的食物，不限于油条、炸糕、炸鸡、烤串等；②含油脂过高的食物，比如各类坚果；③动物蛋白含量较高的食物，如阿胶、鹿胶、海参、鲍鱼、花胶、蹄筋等。

7. Fat: It means rich, greasy, and delicious, not only referring to the conventional meat, internal organs, and animal heads and hooves, but also including: ① Fried and grilled foods, not limited to oil sticks, fried cakes, fried chicken, skewers, etc.; ② Foods with high fat content, such as various nuts; ③ Foods with a high content of animal protein, such as ejiao (donkey hide gelatin), luojiao (deer hide gelatin), sea cucumber, abalone, fish maw, tendons, etc.

8. 《黄帝内经》里说得很明白，喝到肚子的水，就跟食物一样，也需要脏腑配合、消耗精气，走完消解、运化、吸收、排泄的一整套流程。并不是说喝进去的水，就能直接给身体补水。

8. The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon clearly states that the water drunk into the stomach is like food, and it also requires the coordination of the internal organs and the consumption of vital essence to complete the entire process of digestion, transformation, absorption, and excretion. It does not mean that the water drunk can directly replenish the body's water.

9. 其次要说的「不乱来」，是想提醒大家，祛湿这个事，各人情况有差异，体质有区别，祛湿的方法也是有所不同。

9. The next point to mention is the concept of "not being reckless," which aims to remind everyone that the matter of removing dampness varies from person to person, with different constitutions and different methods of dampness removal.

10. 所以，就算红豆薏米水再怎么被吹上天，看上去再怎么人畜无害，如果脱离了「适合」「适量」「适度」的原则，对你来说就可能成为给身体添乱的祸害。

10. Therefore, no matter how highly praised or how seemingly harmless red bean and mung bean water may appear, if it is not consumed according to the principles of "suitable," "moderate," and "in moderation," it may become a source of trouble for your body.

11. 因为在中医的观点里，汗液并不是简简单单由水、氯化钠、尿素、乳酸、脂肪酸等构成的液状代谢产物。而在过度排汗祛湿之后出现的种种不适，实际上就是开泄过度，最终伤精耗气的结果。

11. According to the view of traditional Chinese medicine, sweat is not merely a simple liquid metabolic product consisting of water, sodium chloride, urea, lactic acid, fatty acids, etc. The various discomforts that occur after excessive sweating and removing dampness are actually the result of over-excision, ultimately leading to damage to vital essence and consumption of qi.

12. 在古代社会，“人生七十古来稀”，70岁已经是高寿了。

12. In ancient society, "Seventy years is the limit of human life," and 70 years was already considered a long life.

13. 一个人管不住自己的下半身，总想通过性爱的快感刺激自己的神经，肾精消耗过度，就会阳气匮乏，身体持续虚弱，各种微生物和病毒趁虚而入，摧毁你的健康。

13. A person cannot control their lower body and is always tempted to stimulate their nerves through the pleasure of sexual love. Overconsumption of kidney essence leads to a deficiency of yang energy, causing the body to remain weak continuously. Various microorganisms and viruses take advantage of the weakness to attack and destroy your health.

14. 此外，如果本身脾胃就虚寒，或者是偏向寒湿的体质，单用薏米，或者单喝红豆薏米水，这种「淡渗利湿」的下行之效极容易折伤脾阳，影响营养物质的正常运化，还会影响其对湿邪的排解过程，使湿邪在体内积聚得更加无法无天。

14. Moreover, if one's spleen and stomach are inherently weak and cold, or one has a constitution inclined to cold and dampness, using millet alone, or drinking red bean and millet water alone, this "mildly draining dampness" downward effect is extremely prone to injure the spleen's Yang energy, affecting the normal metabolism of nutrients, and it will also impact the body's process of eliminating dampness, leading to the accumulation of dampness within the body becoming even more unrestrained.

15. 就拿红豆薏米水来说吧，我们之前也提过了，体质偏湿热的人可以适量使用。而对于有寒湿但体质坚实、没有阴虚血亏的人来说，需要再佐以少量干姜，在平衡寒性的同时温振脾胃的阳气，但同样不建议长期使用，因为它终归还是会耗伤阴液。

15. Take the water made from red beans and Job's tears as an example, which we have mentioned before, people with a body constitution that is prone to damp-heat can use it in moderation. For those with cold-dampness but a robust constitution and no deficiency of yin or blood, it is necessary to add a small amount of dried ginger to balance the coldness while warming and invigorating the Yang of the spleen and stomach. However, it is still not recommended for long-term use, as it will eventually consume the Yin fluid.

16. 我的主张，「管住嘴」「不乱来」「适当动」这三大原则，就是靠谱的健脾祛湿化痰邪的大法，男女老少都适用，不信你看：

16. My proposition, the three major principles of "keep your mouth shut," "do not behave recklessly," and "move appropriately," are the reliable methods for strengthening the spleen, removing dampness, and expelling phlegm, which are suitable for people of all ages, both men and women. Don't believe me? Just take a look:

17. 健康不仅关系自己的生活质量，而且关系生命。人最大的福报，不是扬名立万，家财万贯，不是得到广大群众的承认，而是可以健健康康的活着。

17. Health not only concerns the quality of one's life but also concerns life itself. The greatest blessing for a person is not to achieve fame and fortune, to accumulate a vast fortune, or to gain recognition from the masses, but to live a healthy and robust life.

18. 「不乱来」是非常值得强调的一点。这个不仅是针对日常那些给身体「加湿」的不良习惯，还包括在应对湿气这件事上要慎之又慎。

18. "Do not act recklessly" is a point that is very worthy of emphasis. This not only refers to those bad habits in daily life that add moisture to the body, but also to the need to be extremely cautious in dealing with dampness.

19. 而孕妇如果使用了薏米，还可能会引发早产。就算现在提倡使用薏米的时候要炒一炒，让它没那么凉，可也没法把薏米本身容易耗伤津液的性质抹掉。

19. If pregnant women consume Job's tears, it may even trigger preterm labor. Even though it is now advocated to stir-fry Job's tears to reduce its coolness, it is still impossible to eliminate the nature of Job's tears that easily consumes body fluids.

20. 年轻的时候，我们觉得健康是一切美好的基础，但往往会忽略这个基础。随着年纪渐长，身体症状逐渐显现，我们发现健康原来是人生的一切，只要拥有一个健康的身心，一切美好都在其中。而如果失去了健康，人生将在死亡的阴影，以及疾病的折磨中战栗不安。

20. In our youth, we believe that health is the foundation of all the good things, but we often ignore this foundation. As we grow older, our bodies begin to show symptoms, and we realize that health is everything in life. As long as we have a healthy body and mind, all the good things are within us. However, if we lose our health, life will tremble with unease under the shadow of death and the torment of illness.

21. 做过祛湿这个功课的大概都知道，湿邪内聚、痰湿难消的源头和主要矛盾在脾胃。运化出现了问题，该排的排不出去，自然就外邪难挡，内鬼丛生了。

21. Those who have done the work of removing dampness probably know that the root cause and main contradiction of internal dampness and difficult-to-disperse phlegm-dampness lie in the spleen and stomach. When the transformation process encounters problems, the substances that should be eliminated cannot be expelled, and as a result, it becomes difficult to resist external pathogenic factors, and internal disturbances proliferate.

22. 这不仅是在呵护脾胃，养好这个运化水湿的主要系统，同时也在尽量避免痰湿之邪从口而入。

22. This is not only about protecting the spleen and stomach, and nurturing this primary system for transforming and transporting dampness, but also about trying to avoid the evil of phlegm and dampness from entering through the mouth.

23. 心里有分寸，饮食有节制，就能在填饱肚子、缓解干渴、享受美味的同时，让身心都接受饮食的滋养，而不是被饮食本身和不良习惯所伤。

23. With moderation in one's heart and self-control in eating, one can satisfy hunger, quench thirst, and enjoy deliciousness, while allowing the body and mind to be nourished by food rather than being harmed by the food itself and bad habits.

24. 孔子的学生子贡曾经问他：为什么不说话？孔子答：天何言哉，四时行焉，万物生焉，天何言哉！

24. Confucius' student Zigong once asked him, "Why don't you speak?" Confucius replied, "What does heaven say? The four seasons proceed, and all things come into being. What does heaven say?"

25. 首先说说生活中给身体「加湿」的坏习惯，包括但不限于：

25. First, let's talk about the bad habits in life that add "humidity" to the body, including but not limited to:

26. 在生活中，我们也常常有这样的感受：如果说话非常多，就会感到胸闷气短，口干舌燥，身体虚弱。

26. In life, we often have such a feeling: if we talk too much, we will feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, dry mouth and throat, and weak body.

27. 世界权威医疗杂志《柳叶刀》刊文表示：一个人的健康状况，20%由基因决定，另外60%主要由饮食结构决定，其他的因素只占20%。

27. An article published in the world's authoritative medical journal, The Lancet, states that a person's health condition is determined by 20% genetics, another 60% is mainly determined by dietary structure, and other factors only account for 20%.

28. 冷：一是指入口温度低于体温的食物，比如冰镇西瓜、凉啤酒、刚从冰箱拿出来的食物等；二是指性偏寒凉的东西，比如火龙果、猕猴桃、草莓、梨、圣女果、各种瓜类等。

28. Cold: First, it refers to food with an entry temperature lower than body temperature, such as ice-cold watermelons, cold beer, and food just taken out of the refrigerator; second, it refers to things with a cold and cool nature, such as pitaya, kiwi, strawberries, pears, cherry tomatoes, and various melons, etc.

29. 首先，适当运动，实现适度出汗，确实可以祛湿，还能振奋阳气、健运脾胃。对于缺乏锻炼、经常久坐、喜欢宅的人来说，这真的比吃吃喝喝来祛湿要好用得多。

29. Firstly, engaging in appropriate exercise that promotes moderate sweating can indeed help to remove dampness from the body and invigorate the Yang energy, as well as strengthen the spleen and stomach. For those who lack exercise, often sit for long periods, and prefer staying indoors, this is much more effective than relying on eating and drinking to remove dampness.

30. 多部中药学著作认为，赤小豆可利水、消肿，对于水湿内停的诸多病症都有良好的效果。比如李时珍认为它“行津液，利小便”，说白了就是身体里的水液如果运行不畅，或者是有“坏水”积存滞留，只要在赤小豆的适用范围里，都可以通过排尿、利尿的途径回归正常。

30. Many traditional Chinese medical texts suggest that red bean can promote diuresis and reduce swelling, and it has a good effect on various diseases caused by internal retention of dampness. For example, Li Shizhen believed that it "promotes the flow of body fluids and facilitates urination." In other words, if the body's fluids are not flowing smoothly or if there is a accumulation of "bad water," as long as it falls within the scope of red bean's efficacy, it can return to normal through the pathways of urination and diuresis.

31. 可是，很多被大家疯转、被某些自媒体瞎抄的资料，有不少是一味鼓动大家祛湿、除湿、排毒，仿佛这个事就像给水池子放水一样，简单粗暴却没有章法，只让大家看到“利”，却绝口不提同时存在的“弊”和“禁忌情况”。

31. However, many materials that are widely shared and copied by certain self-media platforms are overly enthusiastic about promoting the removal of dampness, elimination of dampness, and detoxification. It seems that this matter is as simple and粗暴 as draining water from a pond, lacking any method or system. They only focus on the "benefits," but never mention the existing "dangers" and "forbidden situations."

32. 而关于健运脾胃、畅通气血的简单功法，我介绍一个最简单的，集补益和疏通中焦于一身的功法——摩腹。

32. Regarding the simple practice methods for invigorating the spleen and stomach, and promoting the smooth flow of Qi and blood, I would like to introduce the simplest one, which combines both tonifying and unblocking the middle-jiao – the Abdominal Rubbing exercise.
