It is advisable to comb frequently.
This is the first item of Gu Xuanxian's 12th Five-Year Plan. The comb here is different from the hair dryer in the hair salon. It blows hot air and combs the hair with fine teeth. That method is not only unhealthy, but also harmful to hair and scalp. A healthy way to comb your hair is to use a wooden comb with sparse teeth and smooth teeth (or a horn or ivory comb, but it is best not to use a plastic comb), and comb all scalp parts from forehead to back of your head. The strength is limited to force but no pain. There are abundant capillaries, large and small acupoints and meridians on the scalp, but due to the occlusion of hair, sweat often cannot be dispersed, which will affect blood circulation and the passage of meridians over time. Combing your hair often can improve blood circulation, dredge meridians and disperse sweat. Very beneficial to health. Just mention shampoo here. Chinese medicine is very cautious about shampooing, thinking that wet hair can easily cause various diseases, so the ancients paid attention to combing their hair frequently and shampooing less. This makes sense, because wet hair will take away the heat from the head in the process of water evaporation, which is easy to cause various symptoms such as cold, fever and headache, which is called the invasion of cold evil in Chinese medicine. If you are elderly or pregnant, the consequences may be more serious. But if you don't wash your hair, of course it's unsanitary. Therefore, many doctors suggest that hair should be dried in time after washing, which can prevent diseases such as colds. Just be careful when blowing your hair. You can't blow it completely with hot air, because overheated air is harmful to scalp and hair. So I suggest that you blow dry most of the water with hot air first, and then blow dry with normal temperature air until it is completely dry. When pregnant women and the elderly wash their hair, the room temperature should be higher than the normal temperature from beginning to end, which is very warm. Finally, don't blow-dry your hair, but let it dry slowly at a very high room temperature. You can stir it by hand to dry it.
Keep your eyes open.
It's a way to maintain your eyes. Exercise refers to moving the eyes. Nowadays, people's living standard is higher than that of decades ago, and the food has become more refined, so they don't need a lot of chewing as before, so the masticatory muscles lack exercise, which also makes the whole facial muscles lack exercise. Facial muscle relaxation not only affects the image, but also causes ciliary muscle relaxation, which easily affects vision. The relaxation of facial muscles can be achieved by exercising masticatory muscles, such as eating chewy things (not as hard as iron broad beans, but as delicious as old corn, beef tendon and raw radish). And the muscles around the eyes, the best way is to exercise by moving your eyes. When you are active, you can turn your head left and right to move your eyes back and forth, or you can turn clockwise and counterclockwise. At first, you will be very tired. If you are tired after less than a minute of activity, you need to close your eyes and nourish the muscles around your eyes. You can also use hot compress with towel (towel and water must be clean), massage acupoints (eye exercises are enough), and strengthen blood circulation. Over time, the muscles around the eyes are strong and can move for a long time. This kind of activity will make your eyes tired, so you must have enough sleep to rest your eyes. Finally, the best eye drops for eyes are tears. Just kidding, it's good for your eyes to cry when you have nothing to do. See if there are any touching love dramas that can maintain your eyes (immediately kicked out by the ophthalmologist).
Rub your ears often.
Refers to rubbing your ears with your fingers and massaging your ears with your fingers. Self-massage is one of the main contents of health preservation. Generally speaking, the ancients paid attention to self-massage where acupoints and meridians were concentrated, and the effect was obvious. Acupoints are concentrated on the head, ears, soles, back and abdomen. Among them, I think the ears need massage more. Although there are many acupoints in the ear, the temperature is usually lower than the body temperature because of its low blood flow and no muscle and fat distributed on it, especially in winter, many people's ears are often red with cold. These are not conducive to the blood circulation of the ears and the dredging of meridians. When you massage your ears, you should press, pinch and rub inside and outside your ears, so that your ears can feel the temperature and strength of your fingers. Finally, it is better to be red and hot. Chinese medicine has auricular acupuncture therapy, which has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on pseudomyopia. In fact, massaging your ears also helps to protect your eyesight.
Four liquids should be swallowed regularly.
First of all, here is a basic concept. Body fluid refers to clean saliva, which should be distinguished from phlegm. Phlegm is the waste discharged by the body, and it is to be spit out. Body fluid is very precious in Chinese medicine, and it is an important body fluid. In western medicine, the role of saliva is equally important, which can clean the mouth and teeth, help digest food, lubricate the digestive tract and so on. In Taoist qigong, Tianjin liquid is regarded as an essential material for practicing Qi. Here is a small way to keep healthy by swallowing body fluids. After eating and drinking enough (this is very important, body fluids are digestive juices, and the more you move, the hungrier you get. Do not drink water, it is not easy to secrete body fluid), sit still, keep your tongue on the palate, and keep silent. After a few minutes, you will accumulate about half a mouthful of body fluid in your mouth, then rinse your mouth and swallow it two or three times. For oral cleaning, the whole digestive system is good. People with bad breath and hyperacidity can use this method to improve their physical condition. At the same time, it should be mentioned that things that spit out shells and dregs after biting, such as melon seeds and sugarcane, will take away body fluids, so it is better to peel melon seeds by hand and squeeze sugarcane juice with a juicer than to eat them directly. In addition, Chinese medicine has also given some drugs to quench thirst and promote fluid production, such as plums. These drugs can really stimulate the secretion of body fluids in the mouth, but it is easy to cause people's illusion and make people feel thirsty, so don't forget to drink more water when eating these things.
You should shrug your shoulders frequently.
You can exercise the neck muscles, which are penetrated by arteries and nerve plexus. Regular exercise of neck muscles can exercise muscles and blood vessels and prevent various cervical spondylosis. Modern people often sit in front of computers or desks for a long time, so the incidence of cervical spondylosis is high, which is not uncommon among young people. When you shrug, don't simply shrug up and down. A better way is to draw a circle around your shoulders from the inside out, so that you can exercise more muscles. But keep your head straight and don't move with your shoulders, or you will easily sprain your cervical spine.
Keep pulling out the six arms.
It means that you should always straighten your arms, do lifts, expand your chest, and move your shoulder and elbow joints. At present, many white-collar workers lack exercise, and because of work reasons, they often sit in front of this computer for a long time, which leads to insufficient activities of cervical vertebrae and shoulder joints and is easy to get sick. Shrugging your shoulders and patting your arms at work are good for your health. Here's a simple way to stretch your arms. Sit up straight, straighten your back, look straight ahead, raise your hand, palm up, extend your fingers, and take a deep breath until you completely suck your feet. After holding your breath for a few seconds, you feel a little hot air on your body. Put your hands down and exhale slowly. This is good exercise for your shoulders and upper limbs.
Seven stomachs should be rubbed frequently.
This is a self massage. There are many acupoints and meridians in the abdomen, which is also where many organs are located. Regular massage of this part can strengthen gastrointestinal function, help digestion, detoxify and reduce fat. Abdominal massage is often regarded as a basic skill in many martial arts and internal skills, such as Xiao Zhoutian in Taoism and Tie Niu in Shaolin Temple. When massaging the abdomen, massage with the whole palm. You can use this method: lie flat, relax, put one hand on your chest, draw a circle around your navel, and feel the pressure and temperature of your hand with your abdomen. This method can improve gastrointestinal function and accelerate defecation. This method is more beneficial to the body than stimulating defecation with drugs.
Eight waists should be covered frequently.
It is an important part of health preservation, but it is often ignored. Covering the waist refers to covering the back of the waist, which is the part of the kidney. In the human body, the kidney is the part that needs maintenance most, because the kidney's insufficient blood supply causes the most diseases. People with kidney deficiency and kidney diseases often have a cold back, which is a manifestation of insufficient blood supply to the kidneys. Warm the kidney with the palm of your hand often, which can strengthen the blood circulation of the kidney, improve the function of the kidney, and ultimately help to overcome kidney diseases. For people with healthy kidneys, this method can also strengthen kidney function and play the role of detoxification and beauty. The way to cover your back is very simple, that is, warm your kidney with your palm, but the best way is this: sit up straight, hold your chest out, cover your back with your hands, and your fingers are facing each other. Then close your eyes, take a deep breath and feel the temperature of your palm. Doing this often can tonify the kidney and replenish essence, while women can nourish yin and consolidate the foundation, which is good for both men and women.
Nine anus should be collected frequently.
It means contracting anus and exercising sphincter. Sphincter is a very important muscle in human body. The blood supply of sphincter affects not only the blood around anus, but also the health of urinary system and reproductive system. The aging of sphincter will cause a series of diseases such as constipation, urinary incontinence and prostatitis. However, because the sphincter is in a secret place and is not taken seriously, many people ignore the exercise of this part of the muscle. Exercise sphincter is very simple, anytime, anywhere, once or for a few seconds. For men over middle age, frequent contraction of anus can keep fit and keep young.
Ten legs should always be bent.
It means doing squats often. Many doctors are against men over middle age squatting, and even against squatting too low when hitting Tai Ji Chuan, which is wrong. Leg muscles account for 60% of body weight and need regular exercise. Statistics show that people who don't exercise leg muscles will lose half of their leg muscles at the age of 70, which is equivalent to carrying a person. People who often squat, when they are 70 years old, their leg muscles basically do not decrease. This shows the importance of exercising leg muscles. When you exercise your legs, you should increase the squat range, but you should not speed up the frequency, otherwise you will easily strain and damage your knee joint. For women who want to lose weight, there is no need to worry about gaining muscle by squatting. If you squat at a very slow speed, you can strengthen your legs, reduce leg fat and make your legs look good. The way to squat is to stand upright, with your legs slightly wider than your shoulders, and squat slowly. For people with high blood pressure and heart disease, it is not suitable to squat too low. You should start practicing from half squat, and then slowly transition to full squat when your body gets better.
Eleven followers should be mentioned often.
That is to say, you should always lift your heels, that is, pad your toes and contract your calf muscles. This action can strengthen the strength of the calf, reduce the fat of the calf and make the shape of the calf look good. The calf muscle is a very important muscle group in the human body. Compared with the function of thigh muscles to support the whole body weight, the calf maintains the whole body balance. People can't run and jump without calf muscles. Therefore, calf muscle exercise can enhance people's balance ability, and for middle-aged and elderly people, reduce the risk of falling caused by the decline of balance ability. For young people, if they feel that ordinary heel lifting can't achieve the exercise effect, they can lift heavy objects and do one-legged heel lifting.
Press twelve feet frequently.
It means that the acupoints on the soles of the feet should be massaged frequently. The sole of the foot is one of the densest acupoints in the human body, and massaging the acupoints of the sole can promote the blood circulation of the sole. Usually, many people like to go to the foot massage city, which is good, but it is not suitable for going after meals. After dinner, you should have a rest and do some exercise. If you go directly to the foot massage city, it will slow down the peristalsis of the stomach. You can also do your own foot massage here. Soak your feet in hot water for as long as possible. 15-30 minutes, and then massage with your fingers. If you don't know the acupoints, press the whole sole of your foot until it feels warm and comfortable. In addition, the water for soaking feet should not be overheated. Scalding your feet doesn't mean you really need boiling water. You can use hot water. You can add boiling water while soaking to keep the water temperature.

2, the practice of boiling water is very in line with the
