1. Staying up late: Not getting enough rest can lead to imbalance.
2. Eating cold and raw food: However, regularly consuming cold food can weaken the spleen and stomach, leading to a loss of yang qi, especially in summer when yang qi expands.
3. Exposing ankles and belly buttons: Exposing ankles can affect blood circulation, causing the body to feel cold.
4. Taking cold showers: Showering in cold water after sweating allows cold pathogens to invade easily. This can lead to colds and damage yang qi.
5. Lack of exercise: Sitting for long periods affects qi and blood circulation, depleting yang qi. Staying in air-conditioned rooms exacerbates yang qi depletion.
