In fact, physical differences refer to one aspect of human health care. Because the human body is endowed by nature and influenced by many acquired factors, it has formed some relatively stable characteristics of different psychological and physiological functions during its growth, development and aging. These characteristics often determine the susceptibility of the body to certain pathogenic factors and the tendency in the process of pathological changes, so it should vary from person to person in health care and cannot be generalized.
The constitution mentioned by Chinese medicine is different from the temperament that people often say. Temperament is the sum of psychological functions such as mental outlook, personality and behavior formed by human body under the influence of acquired factors, and it is also the characteristic of "spirit", while physique is a comprehensive reflection of form and spirit. There are inseparable internal relations between them. That is, constitution can include temperament, but temperament is not equal to constitution.
Physical fitness is not fixed. Even in the same environment, as long as we take active health care measures with a positive attitude towards life, we can correct the physical deviation and achieve the purpose of prolonging life.
