The tissues of the human body require a circulatory system to deliver nutrients and oxygen, and to remove metabolic waste and CO₂. If the circulatory system is not functioning properly, the tissues will lack nutrients and oxygen, metabolic waste will accumulate, its efficiency will decrease, its metabolism will slow down, and it will lose elasticity and luster, gradually aging and deteriorating.

Any pipeline will gradually become blocked over time, and the reasons are as follows:

• Insufficient propulsion: From the age of 40 to 50, human organs begin to age, and the heart's propulsion gradually decreases. A circulatory system with reduced flow rate is more likely to accumulate metabolic waste and eventually become blocked.
• Overeating: Modern people are more sedentary but eat too much. Imagine: a house is only so big, if the owner keeps buying things and hoarding them at home, whether useful or not, eventually it will become difficult to move around. Modern people are the same, eating three meals a day with plenty of meat and fish, leading to nutritional surplus. When cells can't take in more, the excess is stored next to the cells or even in the blood vessels, causing obesity, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, and other affluenza diseases. The author believes that two meals a day are sufficient for modern people to meet their living and working needs. In recent years, the author has only eaten one to two meals a day, each consisting of a bowl of rice, a piece of meat, a dish of vegetables, and an egg, not only maintaining a good physique and high spirits but also continuously generating creative inspiration while handling a busy outpatient schedule.
• Accumulation of metabolic waste: Like a machine, after decades of use, the body inevitably accumulates some metabolic waste. If it accumulates in the circulatory system, it will affect the flow rate, which in turn makes it easier for waste to accumulate. If it accumulates in the organs, it affects their function, creating a vicious cycle.

If the blockage of the circulatory system is sudden, it will always cause obvious symptoms. Sudden blockage of blood vessels in the eyes can cause sudden blindness, in the ears can cause sudden deafness, in the brain can cause hemiplegia, and in the heart can cause sudden death. The blockage caused by aging is a little bit, drop by drop, accumulating over time, slowly blocking wherever it goes, causing the tissues there to gradually lack qi and blood, leading to gradual deterioration and necrosis. Aging is actually a chronic death.

If the circulatory system is not functioning properly, the supply of qi and blood is insufficient, and cells are in a harsh living environment. If stimulated by the accumulated metabolic waste and toxins nearby, cells are more likely to mutate in order to survive, initiating an infinite replication survival mode. Therefore, the older a person is, the higher the probability of getting cancer.

How to detect the beginning of subtle blockages in the body? From several aspects:

• Increased melanin deposition in the skin: Local skin appears dull and rough, or dark spots begin to increase.
• Dark circles under the eyes become noticeable.
• Varicose veins begin to appear on the legs.
• The veins under the tongue become varicose and thick, with a bluish-black color.
• A diagonal groove appears in the earlobe, also known as the "coronary groove" or Frank's sign. According to statistics, more than 50% of people with a coronary groove have coronary heart disease or vascular stenosis; 70-80% of coronary heart disease patients have a coronary groove in their earlobe.
• Every time cupping or gua sha is performed, many "sha spots" appear.
• Blood pressure begins to rise.
• Easily feel chest tightness but no disease cause can be found.
• The whole body is more prone to soreness than others.
• More prone to cold hands and feet than others.

When you experience several of the above symptoms, it indicates that your blood and lymphatic circulation has already sent out a warning signal. Quickly find a qualified TCM physician to address the issue, and you will definitely be able to stop the decline and turn things around without wasting money.

Therefore, to resist aging, in addition to enhancing the function of zang-fu organs, it is also necessary to maintain the smoothness of blood vessels and lymphatic pathways. If this can be achieved, the speed of aging and degeneration can be controlled to a minimum, and the appearance will be much younger than the actual age, and you won't easily contract any chronic diseases even at a very old age. The anti-aging nutritional supplements on the market only address the symptoms and not the root cause, and the strength of addressing the symptoms is also insufficient, so the actual effect is not very significant. Without strong zang-fu organ functions and smooth circulation pathways, no matter how expensive the supplements are, they are in vain.

Instead of spending money on health foods, it is better to spend a little money on TCM. As long as you find the right TCM physician, regularly have your pulse checked, and take some Chinese medicinals that enhance zang-fu organ functions and promote circulation, you can always maintain high spirits and a radiant appearance, and all chronic diseases and aging diseases will not easily find you.
