Chapter 1: The Historical Context of Fair Skin
The perception of fair skin has often been linked to high social status and the privilege of avoiding labor-intensive outdoor activities. Historically, individuals with lighter skin tones were believed to be of noble lineage, benefitting from a diet rich in animal products, which was often inaccessible to the less fortunate.
Section 1.1: The Impact of Diet on Skin Tone
The strain on the digestive system from consuming excessive and improper foods can divert vital energies from the surface of the body. This redirection of blood flow to internal organs raises the body's core temperature, leading to a condition where the skin experiences a deficiency in blood supply, resulting in a cooler skin temperature.
Subsection 1.1.1: Understanding Blood Deficiency in the Skin
As the digestive organs struggle with inefficiency, the skin may take on a pallid appearance, reminiscent of a lifeless complexion. This condition indicates that the skin is unable to fulfill its essential roles, such as toxin elimination and respiration, often referred to as the body's "third kidney" and "third lung."
Section 1.2: Normal Body Temperature and Its Indicators
A healthy body typically maintains a temperature between 36.5 and 37 degrees Celsius. However, in many cases, excluding those with fever, the skin temperature can fall below this range while the intestinal area may experience an increase in temperature.
Chapter 2: Heart Rate and Internal Temperature Correlation
This video discusses how to achieve and maintain a pale complexion while emphasizing the importance of health.
In the context of heart rate, a well-functioning individual should have a resting heart rate of 60 to 70 beats per minute, correlating with an ideal temperature of 36.5/37 degrees. Conversely, those with elevated heart rates, exceeding 110 to 120 bpm, may experience internal temperatures ranging from 39 to 40 degrees Celsius, which can negatively affect digestion and is often associated with severe constipation.
