Li Shizhen's health preserving thought.
Li Shizhen was a famous TCM doctor in Ming Dynasty, and his Compendium of Materia Medica was one of the classics of China medicine. Li Shizhen's idea of keeping in good health includes the following points:

1. Pay attention to diet and mix it reasonably. Li Shizhen believes that the human body needs five flavors, five colors, five grains and other nutrients, and different food combinations can play different roles, such as preventing diseases and conditioning the body.

2. Stay healthy. Li Shizhen advocates moderate exercise, maintains good living habits, and avoids the harm of overwork and improper diet.

3. Control your emotions and keep your mind balanced. Li Shizhen believes that mood swings have a great impact on health, so it is necessary to maintain a balanced and stable mentality and avoid mood swings such as excessive excitement or depression.

4. Rational use of Chinese herbal medicines. Li Shizhen introduced many Chinese herbal medicines in detail in Compendium of Materia Medica. He believes that Chinese herbal medicine has the function of conditioning the body and treating diseases, but it must be used according to the condition and the patient's physique.

5. Maintain the quality of life. Li Shizhen believes that maintaining one's image, self-cultivation and cultural quality can improve one's quality of life and contribute to one's health.
