Cognitive Constitution Volume I: Tracing the Origin of Huangdi Neijing and Perspective on the Essence of Health Preservation

The first chapter of Huangdi Neijing contains the wisdom of keeping in good health.

The content of Huangdi Neijing is profound. For those who study medicine, Huangdi Neijing is a must-learn book. Huangdi Neijing is also a book that people who want to use the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine to preserve health and prevent diseases must understand and learn. At the time of writing this book, my writing idea was also very clear, that is, to explore the culture of traditional Chinese medicine from the source culture of China, to decipher the health problems of modern people with the health-preserving wisdom of China sages, and to teach people how to adapt themselves to their physique for reasonable health care and disease prevention and treatment.

Constitution was first mentioned in Huangdi Neijing.

Balance of Yin and Yang —— The Goal of Physical Fitness.

Constitution is innate, and aftercare is acquired.

Pay attention to life adjustment when you are healthy.

Chapter II Constitution consists of innate endowment and acquired accomplishment.

I have been emphasizing that physique is formed by innate endowment and acquired cultivation. Of course, that's not what I said. It is derived from a large number of facts and theories by clinical physique researchers of traditional Chinese medicine. As the saying goes: born with it, cultivated the day after tomorrow. In particular, acquired factors play a decisive role in what kind of physique everyone has. Physical fitness depends on the day after tomorrow. This "acquired" includes many contents, including people's age, lifestyle, living environment, mental activities, diseases, drugs and so on. These "acquired" factors are like "good people", such as "getting a thick stick" and "getting a leg", which repeatedly act on people's bodies and make people become people.

"As you sow, you reap what you sow"-innate endowment determines your physical tone.

One side of the soil and water support one side of the people, and the environment causes physical differences.

Eating, talking and speaking is also influenced by eating habits.

Excessive emotion is also an important factor affecting the formation of physique.

Age is changing, and so is physical fitness.

Men and women are different, so their constitutions are different.

Diseases and drugs are toxic, which will affect or change the constitution.

An unhealthy lifestyle will aggravate physical prejudice.

Overwork and physical prejudice are non-negotiable.

The third chapter defines what kind of constitution you are and keeps you healthy.

Many people say, "I'm not a doctor, how can I know my constitution?" In fact, "there must be something inside", and what kind of inside a person has, he will distribute information through corresponding channels. For example, your posture, your skin color, your tone of voice, your mental state, your temperament, etc. are all manifestations of your internal role in "shape", from which we can know what kind of physique we are through self-test of our physical appearance.

In fact, the cheapest and most effective method of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis is exercise. Insisting on reasonable exercise can promote blood circulation, make qi and blood smooth, remove those who are stagnant and those who are stagnant, thus playing the role of "promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis" and "removing blood stasis and promoting regeneration".
