Yang qi is a saying in ancient medical books, which said that “yin takes shape, yang transforms qi, and when yang is insufficient, all kinds of diseases arise”. So what does yang mean? The ancients had a very vivid metaphor for yang, saying, “If the sky and the sun lose their place, their life will be lost.”
This means that yang is like the sky. The sun determines longevity. When the body is unwell, it is like a cloudy weather in the body, but when the sun comes out, it blows away the dark clouds and illuminates the environment, and the development of the disease is curbed. The sun is always warm and warm in the body, then the lifespan will be extended.
When everyone is young and middle-aged, most of the yang energy in the body is sufficient, and they rarely get sick. Decrease, Yang Qi will also gradually lose. Relatively speaking, the phenomenon of yang qi loss in men is more obvious.
Because men are under a lot of social pressure, and most of their male friends don’t pay attention to the details of life, and they don’t pay attention to maintenance as much as women, so the loss of yang qi is relatively fast.
Once the yang qi in the body is insufficient, many diseases will be induced. Clinically, it is found that diseases such as obesity, endocrine disorders, kidney disease, infertility, and even cancer are related to the lack of yang qi in the body.

Occasionally staying up late doesn’t have much effect on the body, but if it does so for a long time, it will be very harmful to health. Because a good sleep can ensure the normal operation of the body, but at night the yang qi converges and cannot be gathered, and the cold qi at night is heavier, so the cold qi will invade the body to inhibit and deplete the yang qi in the body, and the later the night is, the more it will be consumed. of positivity.
