179: Impact on life

In the concept of the people of our country, drinking more water is always good for the body.

Whether it's a cold, a fever, or just feeling unwell.

Drinking more hot water seems to be a cure-all.

The reason why everyone has this idea actually comes from the traditional experience of the older generation.

The hot water they refer to is actually boiled water.

In the past, when things were relatively backward and poor, many people were not particular about drinking water; whether it was well water or river water, they would just scoop it up with their hands and drink it directly.

But the consequence of doing so was that it was very easy to get bacterial infections, and even possible to contract infectious diseases, which could further lead to plagues.

Many Western countries like to drink cold water, so they suffered greatly in this regard.

But Dragon Country is different.

As long as the people of Dragon Country could afford firewood, they liked to boil water before drinking it.

In the past, in some rural towns, there were even shops specifically selling boiled water.

From the perspective of disease prevention, drinking more boiled water is indeed better than drinking more cold water.

But today, this concept is always misunderstood by everyone.

Qin Jiang explained, “Many people think that drinking water is a very simple thing, but it’s actually not.”

“From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, drinking water also needs to pay attention to the time of day. There are certain times when you need to drink water, for example, from 3 PM to 5 PM, which is when the Bladder Meridian is active, and appropriate water intake is more beneficial.”

“But from 11 PM to 1 AM, the Gallbladder Meridian is active, which is when you should be sleeping. Drinking water at this time is not good for your body, and your eyes will definitely be swollen when you wake up the next morning.”

Qin Jiang continued, “There are also some people who work in an office, sitting in front of a computer for a long time, often for a whole day.”

“If these people don’t exercise much but keep drinking water, their stomachs will get bigger and bigger because their metabolic function is poor.”

Listening to Qin Jiang, the netizens in the live stream discussed animatedly.

“Is this the legendary ‘getting fat even from drinking water’? I originally thought it was a joke, but I didn’t expect it to be real.”

“Ah, why am I only finding out about this today? I usually love drinking water the most!”

“Goodness, they used to say drinking more water is good for your body, now they say drinking too much water is bad for your body. I’m confused, what should I do?!”

“So Traditional Chinese Medicine always emphasizes moderation. As long as it’s moderate, basically nothing is absolutely bad.”

“But if it’s not moderate, basically nothing is good.”

Su Ya also didn't expect there to be so many intricacies to drinking water. She nodded to Qin Jiang and said, “I understand, Dr. Qin. I will pay attention in the future.”

Qin Jiang then asked, “Besides sweating a lot, do you have any other symptoms?”

Su Ya thought for a moment and said, “I’m easily agitated and my emotions fluctuate a lot. Does that count?”

“Give an example,” Qin Jiang said.

“For example, I have a strong sense of guilt. If I do something wrong, I feel very remorseful and self-blaming, and whenever this happens, I feel difficulty breathing and start breaking out in cold sweats.”

“I’ve been rejected by many film crews because of this.”

“Dr. Qin, this sweating problem has greatly affected my life. Can you cure this illness for me?”

It was clear that Su Ya was truly tormented by this illness.

“What specific aspects of your life has this illness affected?”

The netizens in the live stream were also very curious.

It’s just sweating, what serious impact could it have?

However, when Su Ya described what she had experienced, everyone fell silent.

Because she sweats a lot, covering herself with a blanket when sleeping has become a problem for Su Ya.

If she doesn't cover herself, she can easily catch a cold from the night wind.

But if she covers herself, when she wakes up the next morning, her quilt, sheets, and mattress will all be soaked, as if someone had poured a bucket of water on her bed.

This led to Su Ya having to wash her quilt frequently, and later she even bought waterproof quilts and sheets for herself.

“It’s also very inconvenient to look at my phone normally, because my hands sweat too much, so the screen always jumps.”

“Playing games is even more impossible, unless I prepare a towel beforehand and wipe my hands every once in a while, otherwise, mobile games are simply unplayable.”

“Most importantly, I don’t have a boyfriend even now, because I have a strong body odor. I often feel inferior and always worry that those men aren’t sincere with me.”

Hearing this from Su Ya’s mouth made Liu Yan and Zou Moli feel somewhat incredulous.

Su Ya is a celebrity, you know!

Although not a big-name celebrity, she is a celebrity, isn't she?

So Su Ya’s appearance is still very good. Logically speaking, with her looks, finding a boyfriend should be easy.

The netizens in the live stream were initially confused, but quickly understood the key point.

“Actually, if I think about it carefully, if my girlfriend were like her, I probably couldn’t stand it either.”

“For example, other couples sleep embracing each other, but here, I wake up in the middle of the night and find the bed wet. One or two days are fine, but if it’s like this every day, it’s definitely uncomfortable.”

“Indeed, didn’t she just say that to stay dry, she has to change at least ten sets of clothes every day? That’s too terrifying. Doesn’t that mean she spends the whole day changing clothes?”

“So how does she usually go to work? If she also has body odor, wouldn’t many people dislike her?”

The netizens had wild imaginations, but their deductions were indeed what Su Ya was experiencing.

That’s why Su Ya risked exposing her identity to seek treatment from Qin Jiang.

If this illness couldn’t be cured, she wouldn’t be able to continue living.

After listening to Su Ya’s narration, Qin Jiang nodded.

“Miss Su, please put your hand up. I’ll take your pulse.”

Su Ya hummed and placed her hand on the pulse pillow.

As soon as Qin Jiang took her pulse, his brows furrowed.

Su Ya’s pulse was very irregular.

This indicated that Su Ya’s emotions fluctuated greatly.

Regarding the symptoms Su Ya just mentioned, Qin Jiang said, “I currently suspect you might have sympathetic nerve hypersensitivity. Of course, I also need to ask you to go to the pharmacy with Dr. Zou for a comprehensive examination.”

“Only when the test results are out can I confirm whether you actually have this illness.”

Su Ya asked curiously, “Dr. Qin, what is sympathetic nerve hypersensitivity? Can it be cured?”

Qin Jiang nodded.

“Don’t worry, it can definitely be cured. You go for the examination first.”
