Speaking of health knowledge, it is very extensive, such as a reasonable pace of life, a reasonable diet, proper exercise and so on. Today, I mainly talk about the activities and exercises of the spine and eight joints.
There are many general health exercises, including Tai Ji Chuan, meditation and yoga. Each kind can reach a high level, which can not only regulate the body, but even transform the temperament.
The common method used by ordinary people is to maintain physical function. I suggest you exercise your spine and eight joints.
The eight major joints are two shoulder joints, two elbow joints, two hip joints and two knee joints. The exercise method is to move as much as possible. The normal range of motion of joints is very limited. After expanding the range of activities, it will cause dysfunction and limitation, which will cause pain. This kind of pain will limit our function and will get worse with age. So what should we do?
Do appropriate incremental activities for your joints every day, and if you exceed the original range of activities, you will have symptomatic pain. In this kind of pain, you will gradually increase the range of joint activity, reduce the limitation of joint activity, and maintain joint function relatively well for a period of time.
In addition, it is more important to exercise the spine. The spine can pitch forward and backward, or twist left and right, and the amplitude is gradually increased, so that more than 30 joints of the spine can move gradually and slightly, which can keep the spine soft. Generally speaking, after a period of functional exercise, the flexibility of all joints in the whole body can be achieved.
Laozi said: the weakness of life is the strength of death. Therefore, it is a healthy state to keep your body soft and weak.
The weather is dry in autumn and winter, and our viscera are also short of body fluid, so people are prone to get angry and get angry easily. This is because after the body fluid is insufficient, the yin deficiency is strong or the liver qi is stagnant.
Get up every morning, prepare a cup of warm water, nourish the dry viscera all night, and develop the habit of getting up and defecating in the morning.
When defecating, don't look at your mobile phone, read books or newspapers, meditate, concentrate on excreting the feces the day before, and keep good habits. After washing, you can go back to the living room and do some simple stretching exercises.
These can refer to indoor yoga or Yijinjing, or the traditional Baduanjin, which can achieve effective traction, keep the body active and maintain the vigorous state every morning.
Remember to have breakfast in the morning. Dinner every morning is the beginning of a day's energy. If you don't eat breakfast, the gastrointestinal tract will be irreversibly damaged for a long time. Therefore, eating breakfast, exercising, taking a deep breath, taking a shit and drinking a glass of water are the most important things every morning.
