Traditional Chinese medicine has always attached importance to the significance of "movement" in health preservation. It is pointed out that "running water does not rot, and family members do not move." It is believed that "if people work hard in form, all diseases will not be reached" and "one body is strong". And created many effective national fitness methods. Such as Wu Qin Xi, Ba Duan Jin, Taiji Zhuan and Yijinjing.
According to the theory of health preservation, insisting on physical exercise can be beneficial to qi, qi and joints, thus enhancing the body's disease resistance. "Life lies in exercise" is a well-known health care motto of modern people.
Modern medicine has also proved that regular participation in sports can promote the metabolism of the body, make all organs full of vitality, and thus delay the aging of all organs.
But it doesn't mean that the more exercise, the better. Take competitive sports as an example. Athletes challenge the limits of human body. China women's volleyball girls won "five consecutive championships" for their motherland. However, when Sun Jinfang, Cao Huiying and other old women's volleyball players retired, they were injured because of the intensive training of excessive exercise at ordinary times. They won glory for their country and dedicated their youth.
Therefore, for the average person, exercise should be moderate and moderate.
Static, also known as "static", includes mental quiet and relatively quiet state of physical activity, which is relative to "dynamic". It also plays an important role in TCM health preservation. For example, "Zhuangzi Zaiyi" put forward that "quiet and bright, shake its essence without effort, you can live forever".
Now some people put forward that "life lies in stillness", and think that a high degree of stillness of body and mind is the fundamental way to preserve health. It highlights that the concept of keeping in good health by quietness is more in line with the inherent law of human life.
It is reported that some cancer patients in the United States require doctors to keep their bodies at a certain low temperature to maintain the most basic metabolism, and then thaw them when medical research develops to treat cancer. It is said that human life can be maintained for more than 100 years.
In addition, meditation, such as meditation in Buddhism, is the most typical meditation clarification method. Now, when talking about the role of meditation, Master Dechan, the host of Shaolin Temple, said: "We study Buddhism and sit on the wall every day. Buddhism is called meditation, similar to qigong.
Once you are quiet, all the interference will be eliminated. From a medical point of view, at this time, the smooth regulation of qi and blood, calm heart, even breathing and dredging meridians can naturally achieve the purpose of strengthening the body, preventing and treating diseases and prolonging life. "
In the past, this method was once considered superstitious because of its strong religious color and lack of scientific verification. However, in recent ten years, many Chinese and western scholars have studied this field one after another.
Many scholars' studies have proved that meditation, meditation and meditation can play a role in nourishing the heart, eliminating diseases and strengthening the body through their influence on people's conscious activities.
For example, experiments show that mental relaxation will lead to a series of physiological changes, the most obvious of which are the slow heartbeat and respiratory rate, the decrease of muscle tension and oxygen consumption, the decrease of blood lipid, and the decrease of blood pressure in hypertensive people, while the blood pressure of normal people will not change. This change shows that silence and honesty are of great benefit to people's health.
For another example, in qigong, there is generally no physical exercise. Through certain posture, specific breathing methods and specific psychological activities, it carries out internal self-exercise and adjustment in a "static" state, thus achieving the purpose of "adjusting", "repairing" and "building" the body.
