What does it mean to open a valley? What are the benefits of opening a valley
4hw.com.cn: many people who pay attention to health care have more or less come into contact with Bigu. Bigu roughly means that people will produce feces and foul gas when they eat cereals. What the Taoists say is to drink wind and dew instead of eating grain. What does it mean and what are the benefits of it? Let's have a look!
Bigu is also called chagu, chazi, Jue Gu, Qugu and duangu. Taoism believes that when people eat cereals, they should accumulate feces in their intestines, which will produce foul gas and hinder the road to immortality. Therefore, Taoists imitate the immortal behavior of "not eating grain, absorbing wind and drinking dew" described in Zhuangzi & middot; free travel, hoping to achieve the purpose of immortality.
The art of Valley opening originated in the pre Qin Dynasty, about the same time as the art of Qi. The book of rites & middot; Yi Benming, a collection of etiquette works before the Qin and Han Dynasties, said: 'meat eaters are brave and fierce, grain eaters are intelligent and skillful, gas eaters are gods and longevity, and those who do not eat are gods without death.' It is the earliest theoretical basis for Valley opening. There are similar records in Huainanzi terrain training. After the founding of Taoism, there are many generations of people who inherit this technique and practice Valley breaking. From the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, valley opening has been very popular in Taoism.
1. Detoxification
Many human diseases are caused by harmful substances in the internal and external environment of the human body. The stool in the human body sometimes reaches more than ten kilograms and stays on the wall of the large intestine for a long time. Both Chinese and Western medicine regard constipation as the root of all diseases. If you want to cure a disease, you must first clear your stool.
Feces are the most filthy things. If they accumulate in large quantities, their bad breath comes out of the lungs, which is asthma, and excretion from the skin is eczema. Long term self poisoning makes people nervous tremble, mental fatigue, and easy to be complicated with headache, back pain, fatigue, insomnia, allergy and other symptoms.
Because during the valley opening period, the human body does not enter the grain, and the human metabolic system will be readjusted to help eliminate toxins and defecation in the body. Combined with practical cases, generally, black and slightly greasy stool will be discharged once in about 5 days in Pigu, and the taste is very strong, which is the discharged toxins, garbage and stool. It has been proved in modern times that Bigu is the most effective and direct way to eliminate toxins and clean up defecation.
2. Lose weight
The main purpose of Bigu is not to lose weight, but it is the safest and most effective way to lose weight. At ordinary times, people mainly rely on glucose metabolism for energy supply. After 2-3 days of Valley opening, the body runs out of sugar, and then naturally starts lipid metabolism, which makes them enter the valley opening state. The functional order of lipid metabolism is as follows: fat is transported to the liver through blood, cut and metabolized in the liver, and further turned into energy.
Therefore, the order of fat metabolized during the valley opening period is: Blood Lipid - visceral fat - subcutaneous fat - protein, including all kinds of garbage in blood and visceral tissues, which are raw materials for energy conversion. So Pigu lose weight first reduce fat, and first reduce the stomach. After losing weight, Bigu will not become a dehydrated peach, haggard face and increased wrinkles. On the contrary, it has strong muscles, smooth skin and meat, white inside and red, and bright.
3. Regulate the spleen and stomach
The spleen and stomach are not only the source of nutrition, but also the main source of toxins. After the toxin is discharged, it not only enhances the absorption of the intestines and stomach, but also improves the working efficiency of the digestive system, and the nutrient absorption is vigorous.
During the period of Valley opening, the spleen and stomach hibernate. On the one hand, they get sufficient rest. On the other hand, valley opening is equivalent to returning the spleen and stomach to zero and returning to the infant's gastrointestinal state. This return to zero includes the recovery of intestinal flora, spleen and stomach function, etc. Pitching Valley is the safest and most effective way to regulate spleen and stomach diseases. 80% of Gu friends with stomach diseases can be cured by pitching Valley once.
4. Purify blood and soften blood vessels
The blood vessels of the contemporary people are getting harder and harder, and the incidence rate of atherosclerosis is increasing. The main reason is that blood lipids and cholesterol precipitate on the blood vessel wall. This kind of vascular sclerosis is basically useless by taking medicine, and it is also difficult to rely on ordinary exercise. Although there are many solutions in this regard, one of the main methods is to open the valley. After opening the valley, the catabolism of substances is relatively accelerated, and the thrombus in the blood vessel wall is easy to be dissolved to make the blood flow unobstructed. The lipids deposited in the arterial intima will also decompose and precipitate, the viscera of the whole body can get detoxification and blood nourishment, and the arterial wall softens, which is beneficial to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
5. Reduce blood sugar, blood pressure and blood lipid
Through the practice of taking Qi in the valley, increase the vital capacity and trace elements in the air to reduce blood sugar. At the same time, burn excess fat and diseased cells during the valley, so that they can be discharged from the body, effectively clean the body, make the blood pure, reduce impurities, generate Qi, restore their blood sugar and restore their healthy bodies. As mentioned before, Bigu can remove and dissolve the garbage and cholesterol in the blood vessel wall, and has the effect of purifying the blood, so as to reduce blood pressure and blood lipid.
6. Activate the immune system
The lack of nutrients after Valley opening will stimulate the cells constituting immune organs, make their metabolism active, and speed up the renewal and formation. Such as: the discharge of immunosuppressants, so as to relieve immunosuppression and activate immune function; The internal friction of the body first consumes aging and weakened tissue cells. At the same time, the body uses these 'raw materials' to synthesize new proteins relatively faster, resulting in the renewal of aging tissue proteins. Thus, people's overall function can be strengthened, and the phenomenon of 'rejuvenation' can occur.
7. Beauty
Bigu can purify the blood and remove the garbage in the body. The main reason for human aging is the precipitation of toxins in the body, and the face wrinkles due to ischemia, poor blood flow and spots due to the accumulation of blood stasis. Therefore, the blood is strong, the blood is wrinkled and flat, the blood passes through the spots, the blood is smooth, the blood is smooth, and the skin is white and red. This is also the scientific basis for Pigu's miraculous effect on beauty.
8. Internal organs recuperate
Ordinary people add a little heart to three meals, and excessive diet greatly aggravates the burden of gastrointestinal digestion and absorption; At the same time, in order to support the blood supply to the intestines and stomach, the heart beats faster; To supply oxygen to the heart, the lungs speed up breathing; In order to break down sugar, the pancreas needs to supply a large amount of insulin; In order to decompose fat, the liver needs to supply a lot of bile and detoxify; The kidney should filter urea, uric acid, heavy metals and other wastes. Similarly, the transmission burden of the six viscera is also increased. After opening the valley, the five viscera and six viscera get a good rest; During the re feeding period, the transportation function of the viscera is greatly improved.
9. Enhance willpower and positive energy
It can improve your memory, deepen understanding, enhance willpower, cultivate endurance, be full of courage, desire of will, enhance self-confidence, be able to distinguish between light and heavy, informal, cheerful and open-minded. Reduce obsessive-compulsive heart addiction -- during the period of opening Valley, the physical operation state turns to nature, the physical and mental pressure is reduced, all kinds of heart demons (especially tobacco and alcohol) are reduced, and take the opportunity to quit bad habits.
10. The best introduction to cultivation
What is practice? It's natural to know when the valley is opened in 7 days. Appetite is a person's first desire. Death is more serious than not eating. When people find that they can't even eat, what else can't they put it down? Open the valley in 7 days and naturally enter the door of practice! Valley opening is also the only way to a higher level of cultivation.
These are the top ten benefits of Valley opening. Although there are many benefits, I advise you not to open the valley blindly. Valley opening is not a simple fasting.
