Does health lie in the combination of work and rest?
Oriental health care has always included dynamic health care and static health care, with dynamic health care generating yang and static health care generating yin. Exercise can enhance energy and improve work efficiency; Rest can reduce consumption and prolong life. There is a saying that women's life expectancy is longer than that of men. Apart from their physiological characteristics, they are also good at rest, and they are slow in doing everything, dispersing yang and protecting yin and body fluids well. On the other hand, men like sports, speak and do things faster, the yang dissipates much, and the yin and body fluids are poorly protected. So women live long, but life is monotonous; On the other hand, men live shorter lives, but are full of energy. That makes sense. Of course, it is wrong to just sit still, but it is even more wrong to just exercise without paying attention to rest. The correct method of health preservation should be the combination of static and dynamic, both rigid and flexible, and both static and dynamic. Yang deficiency should be mainly dynamic nourishing, but not too intense; People with yin deficiency mainly rest, but they should also cooperate with movement.
