For example, in health care, there is a fashion called "navel dress", which is beautiful to wear. However, according to Huangdi Neijing, wearing it like this violates the way of keeping in good health. The navel is called Shenque point. When a child leaves the mother, the umbilical cord is cut short, and people will change from birth to rearing. Three inches below the umbilical cord is Xiadantian, so this place must be protected.
When we talk about keeping in good health, what do we immediately think of? Why don't you eat? This is external demand, not domestic demand. As far as health is concerned, eating is not the most important thing. There is a secret in the word "nei" in Huangdi Neijing, and that is the way we treat life. The first article in Huangdi Neijing records that "once upon a time, in Huangdi, we were born with spirit, weak but eloquent, young but not biased, long and sensitive, and ascended to heaven after success", and "born with spirit" revealed a secret of health preservation. When we were born, we all clenched our fists, that is, the acupoints under the ring finger and little finger pressed by our thumbs were called Shaofu points. This point is the point of the heart meridian, and the heart governs the gods. This is the essence of "being born with God".
As we all know, babies are the most arrogant. In a person's life, some seek fame, some seek profit, some seek power, some seek wealth, and some seek people. But what if we all die? Give up going home, exhausted. So the Yellow Emperor taught us a way to put your thumb in and make a fist, which can delay aging.
Now many elderly people roll balls or walnuts in their hands, which is actually the same principle, because there are heart meridians, pericardial meridians and lung meridians in their hands, which can stimulate them to delay aging.
According to Huangdi Neijing, the normal life span of human beings is 120 years old. This statement has also been recognized by modern science. According to modern scientific research, the normal life span of people is 120 years old. The life span of a person is equal to the number of cell divisions multiplied by the cycle of cell division. The number of cell divisions is 50, and the cell division cycle is 2.4 years. 50×2.4 is 120.
But in reality, who can live to 120 years old? What's the problem? I think the reason lies in not being naive. How to remain naive and curious? It is said that there was a Shi Tian named Qi Bo in the Yellow Emperor. Qi Bo put it this way: Why did ancient people live to be over 100 years old? Because I know that this way is "yin and yang neutralization", which is the general principle of health preservation. "Eat and drink regularly, live regularly, and don't act rashly", which can achieve both form and spirit. This also has something in common with the formulation of the World Health Organization: reasonable diet, proper exercise, psychological balance, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol.
