Chapter 21 - Do You Keep a Dog at Home?

“Why is there so much to know about using a blanket?”

“What this doctor is saying makes sense. I do sleep better when I use a thick blanket!”

“Don’t even get me started! A heavier blanket gives me a greater sense of security and helps me fall asleep faster!”

“I was wondering why I sleep so well in winter, and it turns out it’s because of the heavier blankets!”

Viewers in the livestream room also shared their personal experiences and feelings. Some of their daily habits have scientific explanations.

“Oh my God, there’s so much to consider when covering yourself with a blanket?”

Li Xuejing was also surprised and decided to get a suitable blanket when she returned. Wang Jieqiong also silently remembered what Lu Ming had said. She vowed to cover herself with a blanket properly in the future.

“Are there any other things we should be mindful of?” Wang Jieqiong continued to ask.

“Your internal organs, in general, aren’t in great shape,” Lu Ming noted. “Each of them is slightly weak individually, which can be seen as minor issues.”@@novelbin@@

“However, when combined, they become significant problems. Your condition isn’t suitable for direct traditional Chinese medicine treatment.”

Lu Ming revealed the health issues Wang Jieqiong was currently dealing with.

“Ah?”

“So, if I don’t take medication, how will I improve?” Wang Jieqiong was suddenly puzzled.

After all, it’s common knowledge that when you’re ill, you take medication.

“The human body has the ability to self-regulate,” Lu Ming explained. “It’s called self-healing capability. For minor illnesses like a common cold, the body typically relies on its self-healing ability to recover.”

“So, the most appropriate approach for you right now is to boost your body’s resistance, allowing it to regulate its organs naturally.”

“I’m a bit confused by what I’m hearing. How can I get better without taking medication?”

“Is this young doctor suggesting that the streamer’s friend tough it out on her own?”

“This sounds absurd. Is traditional Chinese medicine not effective?”

“Streamer, have your friend visit the hospital for tests and scans. It might be pricier, but test results are the most direct.”

Some of the viewers in the livestream room began to advise Li Xuejing to encourage Wang Jieqiong to change hospitals. At this moment, Li Xuejing and Wang Jieqiong were in a similar state to the viewers in the livestream room. They didn’t quite grasp Lu Ming’s explanation.

“So, does that mean I don’t need treatment right now, and I can just go home?” Wang Jieqiong asked for clarification.

Wang Jieqiong asked, “So, are you saying I shouldn’t take medication right away?”

Lu Ming clarified, “No, you shouldn’t immediately resort to medication. There are other ways to assist in your treatment. On one hand, it’s about relying on your body’s resistance, and the other hand, it’s about getting some sun.”

After Lu Ming finished speaking, Wang Jieqiong was momentarily stunned. “Getting a sun bath?”

Lu Ming nodded, “That’s correct, getting some sun bath. Adequate sun exposure can replenish your Yang energy and boost your immune system.”

“It also offers anti-aging benefits because around 90% of the body’s required vitamin D is synthesized through sunlight. Vitamin D plays a role in slowing down the aging process.”

“Your skin generates vitamin D3 by absorbing ultraviolet rays from sunlight, and your body then converts it into active vitamin D.”

People often talk about getting a “sun-kissed” look for a reason; soaking in the sun can make you appear a few years younger. Upon hearing that sun exposure could help with anti-aging, both Wang Jieqiong and Li Xuejing were thrilled.

Some female viewers in the livestream chat were excited, requesting that Lu Ming immediately share the correct way to get sun exposure.

After all, who doesn’t want to maintain a youthful appearance and slow down aging? Plus, getting a sun bath is cost-free!

“So, how should we go about getting sun exposure?” Wang Jieqiong asked on behalf of everyone.

Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, “Do you have a dog at home?”

“Huh?” Wang Jieqiong was puzzled. What did that have to do with getting a sun bath? However, she replied, “There’s one in the countryside, but I don’t have one with me.”

Lu Ming nodded and said, “That makes it simple. Return to the countryside. You’ll see where the dog is sunbathing. Just sit there and soak up the sun. Let the dog find a comfortable spot for you.”

“Dogs are even better at maintaining their health than humans. They know where the best sunbathing spots are, and if they’re not feeling well, they’ll find herbs to eat.”

Wang Jieqiong was left surprised, and Li Xuejing couldn’t believe it either.

Is this straightforward?

“I can’t believe it! This young doctor is brilliant! Asking us to compete with dogs for sunbathing spots?”

“Dog: Are you polite?”

“Don’t even mention it! My dog at home goes out and finds herbs to eat when it’s sick!”

“Wow! No wonder my dog enjoys sunbathing on the hottest summer days. There’s scientific reasoning behind it from a dog’s perspective?”

“Does this mean that as long as my dog goes out to sunbath, it’s officially sunbathing season?”

“This method is simple, easy to remember, and doesn’t cost anything!”

“I’ve learned something new today!”

The viewers in the livestream room were thoroughly impressed by Lu Ming’s unconventional advice. In the future, there might be a lot of dogs losing their sunbathing spots to their owners.

Dog: Who will stand up for me?
