MCM College Chinese Medicine Health Lecture Series: The relationship between love brain and body constitution
滿珍紀念書院中醫學養生講座系列 —《談戀愛腦與體質的關連》
University of Macau Moon Chun Memorial College is honored to have invited Dr. Cheng Cheng LEI, Registered Chinese Medicine Practitioner, to give a lecture on “The relationship between love brain and body constitution”, as one of the lecture in MCMC Chinese Medicine Health Lecture Series.
In recent years, it has become popular to refer to certain friends as having a “love brain,” always repeatedly falling in love with someone not suitable for them and seemingly beyond help. Dr. Li used this as a starting point to share with students that in Traditional Chinese Medicine, a person possesses five spirits: “Shen” (spirit), “Hun” (ethereal soul), “Po” (corporal soul), “Yi” (intellect), and “Zhi” (will), which are housed in different organs and govern emotional activities.
Moreover, these organs belong to different Five Elements, existing in a relationship of mutual generation and restriction, forming an interactive system. When the body’s qi and blood are abundant and the organs function normally, everything is harmonious. However, when the body becomes increasingly weakened, the organs cannot perform their respective functions, which can affect the spirits of the five organs, leading to pathological manifestations, including repeated heartbreak.
Li shared examples of different body types with the students, suggesting corresponding wellness methods. In addition to using traditional Chinese medicine to adjust body constitution, she also recommended that students engage in more physical exercise to strengthen their bodies, which would help in firming their willpower.
澳門大學滿珍紀念書院很榮幸邀請到注冊中醫師李清清，為學生科普戀愛腦與體質的關連。
近年大家都很流行說某些朋友是「戀愛腦」，總是反覆沉船，無可救藥。李醫師以此切入點和學生分享，在中醫學中，人有「神、魂、魄、意、志」五神，分別藏於不同臟腑之中，主宰人的情志活動。而臟腑之間，又有屬於不同五行，存在互相生剋的關係，是一個互動的系统。當人體氣血充盈，臟腑運作正常，自然相安無事。但當人體渐虚時，臟腑不能各司其，就會影響到五臟神，進而出现病理表现，連沉船也是一些病理表現。
醫師以不同體質為例，和學生分享相對養生方法。除了以中藥調理體質之外，也建議學生多做運動，強化體魄，有助意志的堅定。
活動後，學生表示這次講座讓她瞭解到一些沒有接觸過的知識領域，讓她換了另一種思維方式去看待「戀愛腦」的現象；另外有學生表示醫師給他們講解很多他們需要知道的養身知識，也讓他們了解了一些身體因素所帶來的情緒問題。
