In addition, some studies have found that most centenarians in China are in the south. Wang Wuyi, a researcher at the Institute of Geography of China Academy of Sciences, who has been engaged in environmental and health research for a long time, drew a longevity map. The top ten are Hainan, Shanghai, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Jiangsu, Shandong, Zhejiang, Henan and Sichuan.
There are various reasons for this difference. Some people think it is caused by climate differences, while others think it is caused by eating habits. Of course, we are not here to discuss this reason today. There are many factors that cause the difference in life span, and it takes a long time to draw a conclusion.
Today, I mainly talk about the differences in health care methods. Many times, the health care methods we see are aimed at the whole, and there is not much subdivision.
In fact, China has a vast territory, complex terrain and diverse climate, and there are differences in geology, human geography and customs in different regions. Therefore, appropriate health care methods should be adopted according to local conditions.
Jiangnan area is flat and has many rivers and lakes. Most people here are full of blood and essence. But at the same time, due to heavy moisture, it is easy to cause meridian obstruction and spleen and stomach diseases.
In addition, emotional diseases are more common in the south. Generally speaking, it is easy to be depressed, sad and meditate, which leads to illness. Therefore, the nursed back to health of southerners should be based on more exercise, regulating qi circulation, and following qi.
The mountainous area is steep, sandy and less vegetation, and the climate is cold. People here have hard bones and thin skin, which is easy to cause lung qi deficiency and Yang Qi's obstruction. Nursing should focus on nourishing spleen and lung, activating Yang Qi and improving immunity.
The terrain of the mausoleum area is uneven, the soil layer is thin and there are many bamboo forests. People here are generally thin, with weak spleen and stomach, and skeletal muscle problems. Pay attention to the spleen and stomach and dredge the bones and muscles when nursed back to health.
The plain is open and flat, the soil layer is deep and windy, and it is hot in Leng Xia in winter. The human body here is strong, but once you catch a cold, your blood will sink inward, which is easy to produce phlegm and blood stasis, and food is easy to accumulate and stay in the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in the symptoms of cold joint pain, that is, joint pain without redness and heat on the skin surface, also known as painful joint pain.
This aspect of nursing needs to publicize the viscera, access to qi and blood, and ensure the smooth flow of qi and blood.
The grassland is rich in water and grass, and the wind is cold. Most people here eat cows, sheep and cheese. Their bodies are full of bones and flesh and their blood is intact. However, due to the influence of cold, it is easy to accumulate cold and consolidate solid. Conditioning is supplemented by diarrhea, that is, communication is supplemented to help defecate and clean up the stomach, thus achieving the purpose of health preservation.
There are many trees and water in the forest area, with short summer and cold winter. People here are strong and full of qi and blood, but excessive liver qi can easily lead to adverse qi movement and internal and external wind syndrome. Wind syndrome refers to the syndrome caused by exogenous cold or imbalance of qi and blood of zang-fu organs, yin and yang, and endogenous deficiency wind.
This aspect of health preservation is suitable for calming the liver, lowering qi and regulating qi.
Gobi desert, dry water and dry soil, windy and rainy, extremely cold and extremely hot. People here have solid muscles and skin, but the five internal organs are relatively deficient in qi and blood. Nursing should focus on nourishing dirty qi.
Sandy and stony, the soil is few but not solid, it is sultry in summer and windy in four seasons. People in this area are prone to spleen and stomach weakness, damp-heat accumulation, unfavorable ascending and descending of qi, and yin deficiency of liver and kidney. Regulate spleen and stomach, nourish liver and kidney, prevent heatstroke and remove dampness.
