Reduce cognitive load
The fire at the bottom of a boiler. If the human body is a pot of soup, the spleen and stomach are the pot, and the fire of the gate of vitality is the gas stove underneath. If the soup is not hot (cold hands and feet, poor digestion), do not just add ingredients to the pot; check whether the flame underneath (the gate of vitality) is about to go out.
