Is cleaning your ears or picking your nose therapeutic? Be careful of infections and inflammation that can damage cranial nerves!

Does sleeping posture affect sleep quality? Does placing your hands on your chest lead to nightmares?

Does taking many supplements cure illness if you're sick and strengthen the body if you're not?

*The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon: Lingshu* states: "At forty, a person's Yang Qi is insufficient. It diminishes day by day."

After entering middle age, Yang Qi begins to decline, and many diseases are prone to occur at this age...

◎ Frequently dizzy, insomniac, losing your temper, forgetful, experiencing tinnitus, loss of appetite, or blurred vision. What is wrong with me?

You may have neurasthenia. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination and then treat based on the symptoms.

Neurasthenia has three characteristics:

• Associated with mental excitement; the patient's spirit is also easily fatigued.

• Emotional disorders, manifested as worry, irritability, and tension.

• Accompanied by physiological dysfunction, such as sleep disorders, head discomfort, and mild to moderate dysfunction of internal organs.

◎ With more and more types of health supplements available, how should we choose?

Make scientific and reasonable choices based on the specific conditions of your body.

• If your constitution is strong, there is no need to take health supplements; after all, every medicine has some degree of toxicity.

• From the perspective of traditional medicinal health preservation, it is important to select supplements that suit your physical condition.

• Only correct intake of supplements has the effect of preventing and treating disease and strengthening the constitution.

◎ High work pressure, too busy to eat, and frequent stomach pain. Will this lead to stomach cancer?

Generally speaking, middle-aged men with low physical exertion and high psychological pressure have a higher probability of developing gastric ulcers.

In addition to medical treatment as prescribed by a doctor, health care treatment in daily life is required:

• Have a regular routine, get enough sleep, and avoid overwork.

• Eat meals on time; spicy, overly salty foods, and coffee should not be consumed in excess.

• Keep the stomach warm, as cold can induce or aggravate stomach ailments.

• Exercise more to reduce fat accumulation and gastric acid secretion, lowering the risk of stomach disease.

• Try to maintain a pleasant mood; if you feel anxious, eliminate uneasy emotions as soon as possible.
