Details determine health: Determining a man's energy levels through facial features and subtle physical details
Redness in the palms and face indicates dilated capillaries and stagnant blood in the capillaries (what Traditional Chinese Medicine calls blood stasis). "Redness" is completely different from "rosy complexion." Just like frostbite and cracked skin, redness is similar to these phenomena caused by poor blood circulation due to cold. Redness in a man's palms or face indicates blood stasis (poor blood circulation), which can lead to many problems such as shoulder pain, headaches, muscle aches, and back pain, and is hardly a sign of good health.
In addition, people with red palms and the edges of their palms may have chronic liver diseases such as chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis. Both men and women have both male and female hormones in their bodies, although men have more male hormones and women have a dominant female hormone. Once the female hormone (estrogen) in a man has exhausted its effects, the liver will stop its activity and process it.
However, if chronic liver disease leads to decreased liver function, the activity of female hormones cannot be stopped, and these hormones will remain in the man's body, causing redness in the palms and face, and sometimes even gynecomastia (male breast enlargement), where the breasts become feminized. It is common medical knowledge that kidney disease can cause swelling in the eyelids, while heart disease can cause swelling in the lower limbs.
In other words, a man whose eyelids are swollen first thing in the morning, even if he hasn't been diagnosed with kidney disease, is very likely to have low kidney function-kidney deficiency. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the concept of "kidney" refers not only to the kidneys themselves but also includes the adrenal glands, reproductive organs, urinary organs, and overall vitality. Therefore, kidney deficiency signifies weak energy. If your partner frequently experiences swelling first thing in the morning, you should suggest that he exercise his lower body through brisk walking and squats to improve kidney deficiency.
A pink tongue with a thin coating is typical of a healthy person. Furthermore, the tongue is made of muscle, so it naturally appears long and slender when extended. Therefore, a thick tongue should be taken seriously, as it indicates a tendency towards excess water retention and a puffy appearance, leading to deficiencies not only in energy and vitality but also in other aspects of life. Additionally, a purple or dark red tongue, as mentioned earlier, suggests blood stasis in the body.
All of these indicate poor blood circulation throughout his body, making him prone to aches and pains, and his energy will likely decline further in the future. The two wrinkles extending from the sides of the nose down to the corners of the mouth are called nasolabial folds, which deepen with age. Especially for men, deeper nasolabial folds are considered more masculine. Furthermore, men with higher levels of male hormones tend to have thicker facial hair; therefore, deep nasolabial folds and a thick beard alone are enough to indicate a man's good health.
Conversely, men with shallow nasolabial folds and sparse facial hair are often considered to have weak energy. The size of the mouth is directly proportional to the capacity of the digestive organs. Draw vertical lines downwards from the center of each pupil; if the mouth lies between these two lines, the person has a small mouth; if the mouth extends beyond the width of these lines, the person has a large mouth. The size of the mouth is also directly proportional to the size and function of digestive organs such as the stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas.
Therefore, we can assume that people with large mouths have a strong appetite, are energetic, and have a lot of vitality. However, if one indulges in overeating and drinking from a young age without sufficient exercise, they are more likely to suffer from lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and fatty liver in middle and old age, leading to a sharp decline in vitality and energy. Sexual function will also weaken accordingly, so it's crucial to pay attention. Assessing a person's energy level requires a comprehensive examination of these subtle physical characteristics.
