Autumn Health Requires More Than "Nourishment"—It Requires "Flow"
Many elderly people have misconceptions about autumn nourishment, focusing only on supplementation while neglecting the body's internal circulation and flow. Medical experts have found: what many elderly people need is not "nourishment," but "flow." As long as the body's systems are unobstructed, the nutrients from regular food are generally sufficient to meet the body's needs. Blind and unscientific supplementation often has the opposite effect, harming health.
The various "pipelines" in the human body, including the digestive and excretory systems, after decades of use, can easily become obstructed, leading to aging, hardening, and consequently, disease. Blocked pathways can cause high blood lipids, metabolic disorders, constipation, chest tightness, and other conditions.
To achieve "flow," eat more foods rich in fiber, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, to stimulate intestinal wall peristalsis and mucus secretion, promoting bowel movements. Consume more foods rich in Vitamin B, such as whole grains and legumes; Vitamin B1 supplements can be taken if necessary. Eat more gas-producing foods, such as raw scallions, onions, raw cucumbers, and raw radishes. Their fermentative action in the intestines creates gas, which increases intestinal motility and aids in bowel movements. Additionally, after waking up and washing each morning, drink a cup of salt water on an empty stomach. This has a cleansing effect on the digestive system and is particularly effective for chronic constipation.
