How to treat this kind of physique?

First, we must strengthen exercise. The less we exercise, the worse our physical condition will be. Exercise can make the body passively excited, which is very helpful for improving physical condition. Second, we can regulate our body through diet therapy. The most suitable health-care Chinese medicine is astragalus. We can use astragalus to make tea, stew chicken, make soup, etc. It tastes sweet and delicious.

The commonly used Chinese medicine prescription for people with qi deficiency is "Astragalus and Cinnamon Twig Five-Ingredient Decoction", which only contains five herbs: astragalus, cinnamon twig, peony, ginger, and jujube. It has no side effects and can also be used to treat diabetes, cervical spondylosis, peripheral nerve damage, constipation, sciatica, acne and other diseases. Another prescription, "Yupingfeng Powder", contains three herbs - Astragalus, Saposhnikovia and Atractylodes. Taking it appropriately every day can greatly improve the qi deficiency constitution and can also treat and prevent qi deficiency colds.

It should be pointed out that many people believe that ginseng should be used to treat qi deficiency, which is actually a misunderstanding. Ginseng is more suitable for patients in the late stages of wasting diseases, who are very weak and have weak vital energy, that is, internal deficiency. The Qi deficiency treated by Astragalus is deficiency in the skin, so the two are very different.

Chinese medicine recommends the following dietary therapy:
