When talking about his health secret, Fang Lu said he had nothing to say. If you have to say it, it is "not angry."
▲ Health care first controls emotions.
Fang Lu believes that sudden, intense or long-lasting bad emotional stimulation will lead to illness when it exceeds the psychological endurance and adjustment ability of human body, and anger is the most common excessive emotion in our life. Fang Lu said, to stay healthy, we need to restrain our anger first. One's life can't be completely smooth sailing. When encountering difficulties and setbacks, we should pay attention to controlling our emotions and try to be optimistic. There is a cloud in Huangdi Neijing: "Quiet but nothing, keep God inside, be safe but not ill?" It can be seen that a good mental state has a direct impact on human health. Being angry or furious often, on the one hand, can't solve the problem, on the other hand, it's not good for your health.
In real life, it is simple to keep a "nothing" mentality, but it is not so easy to do it. Many people verbally say "there is no hurdle", but when they really meet specific things, they don't give in and often make a fuss about trivial things. What's more, it is not uncommon to "drive the crane west" in a rage.
Fang Lu has three tips to adjust his mood:
Advocate practicing static kung fu. He believes that people's spiritual and psychological cultivation should be experienced in silence. By adjusting the mentality, or sitting still, or standing up, always calm down, eliminate distractions, and experience the changes of qi and blood circulation in the body wholeheartedly. Over time, they will be full of vitality, peaceful internal organs, vigorous form and spirit, and live longer.
Cultivate a "contented" attitude towards life. We should be "less on the top, more on the bottom", so as to get life and psychological satisfaction and reduce anger from the root.
Cultivate a sense of humor. The direct function of humor is to smile, relieve tension, naturally reduce anger, and even help us get out of trouble quickly to some extent.
▲ "Moisture is a problem" can not be underestimated.
Modern people live in an environment with heating in winter and air conditioning in summer, and their feelings about the four seasons are becoming more and more unclear. When sweating in summer, because of air conditioning, sweat can't volatilize and accumulate in the body; In the winter in the north, the heating is burning, and you are still sweating with a coat. The sun is shining outside, so you can't hide the essence.
Fang Lu believes that the human body is most prone to get sick in this environment, and the skin's opening and closing function declines, and its ability to resist diseases and pathogens is getting worse and worse, which easily leads to the accumulation of dampness and evil in the body, resulting in yang deficiency. Damp evil is more harmful to human body than cold evil, especially the following six bad habits will aggravate the moisture in the body.
Lack of sleep Chinese medicine believes that lack of sleep is very easy to hurt the spleen. Usually, fatigue, listlessness and heavy limbs after staying up late are typical symptoms of spleen deficiency. Fang Lu suggested that everyone should go to bed before 6 o'clock every night. In addition, if you do some proper exercise during the day, your sleep quality will be better.
The weight and gastrointestinal function of the stomach are related to nutrition and water metabolism, and the best way to nourish the stomach is a moderately balanced diet. Nowadays, many people like to eat some greasy, salty, sweet or spicy foods, and these so-called delicious foods are the most difficult to digest, which are easy to cause bloating and stomach inflammation. Therefore, Fang Lu suggested that eating more porridge and side dishes every day can clear the stomach and form a good habit of light diet, which is good for health.
Fang Lu, who is hungry for cold, thinks that expired raw and cold food will make the digestion and absorption function of the stomach stagnate, creating an invasion opportunity for exogenous pathogens. He suggested that it is best to add onions and ginger when cooking to weaken the coldness of vegetables.
At present, many people like parties and dinners. Three or five friends get together to "drink heavily", and excessive drinking is the key factor to aggravate the "wet poison". Fang Lu thinks that alcohol helps to eliminate dampness, so he should touch alcohol less and not drown his sorrows.
People who exercise less often show signs of heavy body and weakness of limbs. The less you love exercise, the more water you accumulate in your body. As time goes on, your body may get sick.
Fang Lu suggested that we should persist in physical exercise all year round, and achieve the goal of strengthening the kidney by nourishing the kidney, relaxing muscles and activating collaterals, dredging the qi pulse and enhancing our own resistance.
Sitting for a long time will make people's brain lack of blood supply, lead to the reduction of oxygen supply and nutrients in the brain, and aggravate fatigue, insomnia and memory loss. It can also cause muscle aches, stiff neck, headache and dizziness.
Fang Lu suggested that getting up and doing more exercise after sitting for a long time is very helpful for physical maintenance.
Li, a master of Chinese medicine: Massage makes me energetic.
"Life lies in exercise. Only exercise can make life not old and youth always there. " Li, a master of Chinese medicine, gets up early every day and exercises for half an hour to an hour before breakfast. "On the basis of decades of clinical experience, I have summarized and sorted out some simple and easy methods of TCM health preservation. I can choose one or more exercises every day according to my physical condition. " These technologies are simple and easy to use, and are not limited by time, place and venue, and can achieve the purpose of promoting health and prolonging life.
▲ Head and neck health care, grinding head and neck balance.
Li introduced that in the past 30 years, there have been more and more patients with cervical spondylosis, and the symptoms have become more and more serious, which is related to long-term desk, sedentary, poor sitting posture and low air conditioning temperature. Patients with cervical spondylosis can make fists with both hands, beat shoulders with one hand and back with the other, and at the same time, from quick to slow, from light to heavy, repeatedly operate 16~32 times, and then rub upper limbs, chest and abdomen 1~2 minutes, once a day in the morning and evening.
Li created neck exercises, such as turning head and grinding neck exercises, head and neck lateral flexion exercises, head and neck forward flexion exercises and back flexion exercises, which can achieve different effects.
Turning head and grinding neck can adjust the balance of uncinate joint, enhance ligament function and prevent neck stiffness. When practicing this method, you need to stand with your hands akimbo or wrists clasped behind your waist and your head and neck naturally flat. Look ahead, turn your head and neck left to the limit, then turn right to the limit, and finally turn to the front center. This is a neck-turning and neck-grinding activity, which is done 7~ 14 times in a row. When practicing, pay attention to turning around in place, move slowly, and follow your eyes.
The posture of head and neck lateral flexion is the same as that of head and neck grinding. The head and neck bend to the left to the limit, then bend to the right to the limit, and finally bend back to the front center. This is a lateral flexion of the head and neck, and it is done 7~ 14 times in a row. Pay attention to keep your head flat and your neck straight, and move slowly before watching. This method can enhance the coordination and stability of cervical facet joints and prevent premature aging and degeneration.
The flexion and backward movement of the head and neck can be remembered by "looking up, I found it was moonlight, then sinking, and I suddenly remembered home" The distance between your feet is equal to the width of your shoulders. Put your arms behind your waist, hold your wrists and palms outward. First bend the head and neck forward to the limit, look at the ground with your eyes, lift the head and neck back to the limit, look at the sky with your eyes, and then return to the level of the end of the head and neck. This is the head and neck leaning forward and backward once, and so on 7~ 14 times. It can enhance the elasticity of supraspinous ligament and interspinous ligament, anterior longitudinal ligament and posterior longitudinal ligament of vertebral body, and prevent cervical flexion and extension dysfunction.
▲ Shoulder care, joint shaking, qi circulation and blood circulation.
Li said scapulohumeral periarthritis is a frequently-occurring disease. The harm of this disease is not great, but it will seriously affect the normal life of individuals. For patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis, Li recommended the "finger climbing activity method": stand facing the wall, with two arms hanging to the side, two feet separated by half a step, one finger on the front wall of the chest to climb to the limit from bottom to top, pause for a moment, then slide back to the original position and repeat this action for 7~ 14 times.
In order to relieve the adhesion of shoulder joint, Li also has some clever tricks, such as "moving shoulders back and forth", "shaking hands behind" and "shaking arms".
Handshaking back and forth and shoulder exercise can relieve shoulder adhesion and restore the dysfunction of lifting forward and extending backward. When practicing, you need to stand, relax your shoulders, hang your arms straight to your side, stretch your arms forward and lift them, throw them over your head, hold your chest high and raise your head, then throw your arms back to the lower back and bend your head, so that you can cut your hands 7~ 14 times in a row. Pay attention to the relaxation of the shoulders, as long as the shoulders move, limit the flexion and extension of the waist and knee joints.
Holding hands behind the body can relieve the adhesion of patients with hindlimb dysfunction caused by shoulder joint adhesion and promote functional recovery. When practicing, stand your hands behind your waist, hold the other wrist with one hand, pull it back and forth for 7~ 14 times, and then pull the other hand with another hand for 7~ 14 times. Attention from small to large, step by step, not hard to pull.
Swing arm movement can alleviate the dysfunction of multi-directional adhesion of shoulder joint, make joint smooth and enhance function. When practicing, lunge your left leg, put your left hand on your hips or behind your waist, hold your chest out, and hang your right arm to your side. Swing forward, upward, backward and downward for 7~ 14 turns, and then swing backward for 7~ 14 turns. Then turn to lunge of the right leg, with the right arm behind the waist, the palm backward and the left arm hanging to the side. Swing forward, upward, backward and downward for 7~ 14 turns, and then swing backward for 7~ 14 turns. The footwork requires that the front is fixed and the back is eight, so as to achieve three straights-straight neck, straight body and straight legs.
