No spicy will hurt your tendons! What should I do if people with low back pain love spicy food?

Many people are not happy with spicy food, but if they have lumbar disc herniation, they should be more leisurely in eating spicy food. Because eating too much spicy food can be a major trigger for the occurrence and aggravation of lumbar disc herniation. In addition, it is necessary to regulate the lungs and liver to eliminate the consequences of spiciness. <>

What is the relationship between spicy and lumbar disc herniation?

The pungent taste enters the lungs, and the lungs are the main qi", that is, the spicy food corresponds to the lungs, and the lungs are responsible for respiratory function. But Chinese medicine is about balance, less is beneficial, more harmful. Slightly spicy is good for the lungs, for example, when you have a cold, drink some ginger water to promote lung qi, which is good for colds.

However, eating too much spicy, especially for people who are not spicy, will hurt the lungs and lead to two adverse consequences, one is to hurt the lungs, easy to catch a cold, and the other is to damage the function of the main tendons of the liver, both of which can aggravate neck and waist pain.

The relationship between the lungs and neck and low back pain.

The main skin of the lungs, the breathing, and the lung qi are damaged, which is naturally easier for the wind cold and dampness to invade the lungs and cause colds, and the wind cold and dampness will also run from the lungs to the Du pulse and bladder meridians, that is, the meridians blocked by lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, therefore, neck and waist pain will occur, especially after the cold.

The lung qi is damaged, and it also hurts the tendons by hurting the liver.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the five elements (gold, wood, water, fire, and earth) are mutually reinforcing, and the lungs in the five organs belong to gold, and the liver belongs to wood, so the lungs are damaged, and the liver's excretory function is naturally affected.

The liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys in the five organs correspond to the tendons, pulses, flesh, skin, and bones of the human body, respectively. The liver corresponds to the tendon, that is, the main tendon of the liver, and the function of the liver directly affects the function of the tendon.

The tendons in Chinese medicine refer to the ligaments and tendons on the human body. Once the liver's excretion function is abnormal, qi and blood are deficient, the fascia loses nutrients and becomes relaxed, and the binding force on muscles and joints decreases, and the response is that low back pain is prone to occur in the lower back. Therefore, eating spicy food often hurts the lungs and liver, and finally hurts the tendons, which can make the back pain worse.

How to solve the problem of eating too much spicy? Warm the meridians, regulate the lungs and soothe the liver.

First, eat less spicy food, not too spicy.

Second, when you have low back pain, you should dredge the meridians, activate blood and dispel blood stasis, and disperse cold evils.

Third, in daily life, you can use some foods, such as radish, hawthorn, wolfberry, citrus, rose soaked in water, etc., to relieve the liver and regulate qi. To regulate the lungs, you can eat white fungus, peanuts, yams, or you can use Codonopsis, astragalus, yellow essence, lily, etc. to make tea, stew, or porridge. In addition, during the massage period, the acupoints can also relieve the liver and regulate qi, and the lungs can also be adjusted through deep breathing.

Be sure to avoid eating too much, eating too much spicy will lead to bad lungs, and bad lungs will cause blockage of the pulse and bladder meridians, resulting in low back pain.

Eat appropriately, put a little chili pepper when you are really hungry, pay attention to balanced nutrition, regulate your body, and eat a little chili when you are in good physical condition.
