Chapter 1521 All the Problems Caused by Diet
The male teacher's wife took a special leave to accompany him. From her words and expressions, Bian Mu felt that she was the kind of person who could take care of things at home.

Out of some special considerations, Bian Mu politely saw the two of them out.

"Some things... are not easy to say in front of other people. Your wife seems to be a very reasonable person, so... I would like to say a few more words to you on the occasion of your farewell. I hope you don't mind if what I say is right or wrong." Bian Mu first smiled and laid the groundwork.

"No, no! You are very accurate in your views. It's like you use a psychological X-ray machine to see through everything in my heart at a glance. I trust you very much." The male teacher quickly said a few polite words.

The male teacher's wife didn't say anything, but smiled politely at Bian Mu, her eyes full of deep gratitude.

"You're welcome! As for you... Although the community where you two live is far from your parents' home, I mean your parents, not your in-laws, but to be honest, it's somewhat inappropriate for you to go to your parents' home all the time. It's easy to give people the illusion that you are a 'mama's boy'. Why do I emphasize this point? The pulse is a bit too deposited, so... this causes another trouble. When you eat... Your family is well-off! You two have a good income, too. You always like to choose things you have never eaten before. You are very curious. You eat whatever is popular on the street. If you like it, you will keep eating until you get tired of it. This is related to the fact that you always like to go to your parents' home whenever you have time. The logic is like this... So you don't mind, do you?" Afraid that the male teacher would feel embarrassed, Bian Mu was polite again.

Hearing this, the male teacher's face turned red and he felt a little embarrassed.

"It's okay... I know Dr. Bian is doing this for my own good. In fact... my mother-in-law has occasionally reminded me subtly that a man should establish something meaningful in his career... To be honest, I didn't really take it seriously. Now that you put it this way, I can understand it a little bit..." The male teacher echoed a few words with an embarrassed look on his face.

"It's good that I understand. You, for example, are naturally home-loving. After you got married, you moved to your own home. Psychologically, you might not be able to adapt to it very well. So, you can't help but seek novelty in your diet, and you also eat voraciously, or even binge eat. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, this behavior is actually very dangerous. If it weren't for the excessive accumulation of pulse-related information in your hands, I wouldn't have said so much in front of your lover..." Having said this, Bian Mu stopped talking and glanced at the male teacher's lover.

"You can even tell that?! It's amazing! He is really like that usually. All along, I thought it was because my mother-in-law spoiled him since he was a child, but it turns out..." At this point, the woman looked at her husband meaningfully.

This made the male teacher seem even more embarrassed.

"Haha... Now that I've opened up, you two should know that, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, when people eat grains, they are actually using their own vital energy to continuously digest the essence of the grains. It's a one-to-one, exact amount! Theoretically speaking, a person, regardless of gender, rich or poor, will eat a certain amount of food in their lifetime. What is the reference? Vitality value! Rich people do not necessarily eat more deliciously or absorb more than poor people, so... you usually arrange your diet like that, and your vital energy consumption is equivalent to many times that of men of the same age. As a teacher, think carefully about what that means?" At this point, Bian Mu deliberately paused, prompting the man to think about it.

Some things must be understood by the patient himself, otherwise, no matter how good the doctor is, it will be useless. In a sense, this is also a practical way of treatment.

It’s really difficult to be a good Chinese medicine practitioner!
"Will this... shorten my life span?!" When the man said this, his expression turned a little ugly. It was obvious that he really believed in Bian Mu.

"Given the conditions of your family, it's not the case. However... let's say the elderly people around us have a relatively regular diet and daily life. They are even a little ascetic. Hey! They hardly get sick all year round. In the morning, they have a plate of peanuts, a steamed bun, a glass of milk, and at most half a boiled egg, and the other half is shared with their spouse. At noon, they have a bowl of noodles, a bowl of rice, a little bit of vegetables, and even less meat, but they have every meal. In the evening, they have a bowl of porridge, some small grain cakes, and two stir-fried side dishes, that's it. After the meal, they have at most some fruit, watch TV, and chat, and they go to bed before 10: in the evening. As a result, if there are no other accidents, they can live to be a hundred years old in a daze. They hardly go to the hospital and don't cause trouble to their children and grandchildren. They live a very worry-free life. Why?" Bian Mu smiled and gave a metaphorical counterexample.

"Full of energy?" For some reason, the male teacher's lover suddenly answered.

"That's right! The vital energy consumed is very little, and a lot of vital energy is saved throughout the life. Moreover, that kind of vital energy is mostly clean energy, pure and pure. On the surface, the old man lives like a cup of boiled water, bland and tasteless. In fact, it is not the case. Is it okay for your lover to never find a sense of belonging in his parents' home, his own home, and school...? Is it okay for him to be lost all day long? Once there is some space in the heart, people will involuntarily try to find something to fill it. As a result... they eat and drink too much, which depletes a lot of vital energy in the body. Over time, even the temperament on their face has changed..." Having said that, fearing that he might upset the male teacher again, Bian Mu deliberately stopped talking.

After hearing this, the man began to sweat more and more on his face.

"No wonder... Does that mean that the school leaders saw his face and felt that my husband couldn't control the students? Especially the boys in the class? So they didn't let him be the head teacher?!" Well! The woman started to answer again.

"There are factors like this. We Chinese medicine practitioners also read people's faces. Of course, I mean reading faces in the medical sense. As far as faces are concerned, Teacher Zhang does lack a bit of sternness and sharpness. If the boys in the class are more naughty, he really can't control them. I guess, although you can still get along well with your classmates, that's because you are a substitute teacher! The results of the high school entrance examination don't account for a large proportion. Anyway, they can't compare with the three major subjects of Chinese, mathematics and English, so it's nothing in itself... So... saying this won't hurt your self-esteem, right?" At this point, Bian Mu glanced at the male teacher named Zhang cautiously.

Hearing this, the man's face became sweatier.

For a moment, the male teacher named Zhang just stood there stiffly, not knowing whether to leave or not.

"Don't mind it! There are no outsiders here anyway, so why do you live like this? You have lost too much vital energy, and the medicine I prescribed can just play a regulatory role. Take your time, don't be anxious! The weather is cold! Don't catch a cold again. Please go back soon, both of you!" After saying that, Bian Mu said no more and turned back to the house.
