Feeling restless and unable to relax due to stagnant vitality? Here's what can help you feel at ease.
Vitality is invisible, but you can feel it.
You may often find yourself thinking, 'I feel so irritable,' or 'I’m really stressed out.'
This is common and happens to everyone. If you don’t have a good way to release it, the stress just keeps building up.
Engaging in activities like exercise or karaoke to release stress can be effective, but if your body is tired, try approaching it through your diet.
Recommended Foods for Those with vitality Stagnation:
- Bitter melon (goya)
- Liver
- Squid
- Shellfish
- Citrus fruits
- Celery
- Onions
- Pickled shallots
- Peas
- Hyacinth bean
- Buckwheat
- Jasmine
- Lavender
- Rose red (or similar)
- Lily bulbs
- Longan fruit
Many of these foods have pleasant aromas. If you’re experiencing ongoing hysteria, incorporating "aromatic baths" through aromatherapy might also be helpful.
Foods to Avoid for Those with vitality Stagnation:
- Foods that are too salty or spicy
- Foods that cause excessive gas, such as potatoes and burdock root
- Avoid excessive energy-boosting foods
Vitamins are consumed quickly in daily activities, especially when under stress, so it's important to be mindful of your intake. Many of the recommended foods for vitality stagnation are high in vitamins. If you're deficient, taking vitamin supplements can be beneficial.
Also, becoming overly absorbed in tasks can lead to a sense of breathlessness. Even with good motivation, it can lead to inefficiency if you don’t rest properly. Learning to rest effectively is crucial.
If eating foods you enjoy improves your mood, that’s also a good approach. Eating a diet centered around the recommended foods, along with drinking orange juice and eating your favorite treats, can help stabilize your mood.
Occasionally, take it slow and easy. Try drinking citrus juices or tea while watching soothing movies or engaging in some exercise to relax and rejuvenate.
