The so-called health preservation is to know how to reconcile yin and yang in order to preserve health and prolong life.

Hold your chest, have no distractions, and take a relaxing walk while enjoying the scenery. As the saying goes, "Take a hundred steps after a meal and live to be ninety-nine", although it is a little exaggerated, it just shows the positive effect of walking on health. Walking after meals helps digestion and absorption.
Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, was sickly when he was young, so he studied medicine. He invented thirteen methods of keeping in good health and practiced them frequently. I lived to 142 years old in my later years, still listening and watching.
Jiang Yang is a famous modern writer and translator. In her 90 s, except for her slight deafness, she was still quick-thinking and insisted on reading and writing.
By the time she was 100 years old, Jiang Yang was still working hard and in good health, which was inseparable from her forming the following four good habits.
Work and rest regularly and get up early.
Early to bed and early to rise is the expression of self-discipline and the foundation of health preservation. Huangdi Neijing puts forward that "it is not enough to lie at night and get up early."
Huangdi Neijing tells us not to violate the laws of nature, but to work during the day and rest at night to reconcile yin and yang.
Life in Jiang Yang is very regular. She insists on sleeping eight hours a day and getting up early, even though she is 100 years old.
As the saying goes, people who can control the morning can control their own lives.
Four principles of healthy eating: miscellaneous, less food, light and slow food.
Mr Jiang Yang will drink some milk, cereal, soybean milk and sometimes eat nuts such as peanuts and walnuts for breakfast.
I like seasonal vegetables. The ingredients are sweet potatoes, radishes, vegetables, tofu, black fungus, fish and so on. They are made in different ways.
Her food is light and greasy, but she will break the soup with a stick and make soup with black fungus to supplement calcium.
Jiang Yang never overeats, and eats slowly, only eating eight full meals.
At the same time, she also has the habit of drinking tea, mainly making tea with medlar and American ginseng every day.
From the above, it can be seen that Mr. Wang's eating habits conform to the four principles of healthy eating in Huangdi Neijing: miscellaneous, less food, light and slow food.
My aunt, who is studying Chinese medicine in our unit, has always warned us not to eat too single, and to eat at least 10 kinds of food every day (not counting seasonings). We should let the soup cool and discard the excess oil, which means we should eat miscellaneous and greasy food.
Insist on moderate exercise and maintain blood circulation.
"Su Wen? The theory of innocence in ancient times: "Real people can lift heaven and earth, protect yin and yang, breathe essence, and guard God independently. If his muscles are the same, he can live a long life in heaven and earth, without end. "
Known as a real person (there were four kinds of people with long life in ancient times: real people, wise men, saints and sages), real people mastered the changing law of yin and yang in heaven and earth.
Through adjusting breath, heart and body, through mental adjustment, combined with breathing and exercise, the body can achieve a high degree of coordination, which is helpful to prolong life. It can be seen from Su Wen that the ancients also paid attention to combining exercise to achieve the function of health preservation.
Mr Jiang Yang also has the habit of exercising. After drinking a glass of light salt water every morning, she goes for a walk outside. In Mr. Wang's view, walking is the best exercise. She will walk 8,000 steps every day.
When she was old, she changed her outdoor walk to indoor walk, and the number of steps dropped from 8000 to 7000.
In addition to walking, she also has the habit of practicing Ba Duan Jin aerobics, watching formulas while practicing movements.
Practicing Ba Duan Jin keeps Jiang Yang's bones and muscles flexible and smooth, and his face is still rosy when he is 100 years old, which shows that it is important to keep healthy by insisting on exercising and practicing aerobics. At the same time, Baduanjin has a good therapeutic and health care effect on Sangao.
Strong in heart, indifferent as water, high in realm.
Ms Elizabeth, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology, said: To live a hundred years, a reasonable diet accounts for 25%, others for 25%, and psychological balance accounts for 50%.
Jiang Yang's famous saying "I don't argue with anyone, and I don't care who I argue with" shows that her heart is detached and calm, indifferent to fame and fortune.
Jiang Yang and his family experienced many ups and downs during the ten-year turmoil. Losing her daughter and husband in her later years, she was not knocked down by difficulties.
After the death of Qian Zhongshu and his daughter Qian Yuan, Mr. Jiang Yang persisted in writing and wrote many excellent works, such as "The Three of us, Remember My Translation", "Rewriting Translation Skills" and "Revising Jiang Yang's Collected Works".
As a woman, she can take things as they are, and her inner peace is admirable. It is with this indifferent and peaceful attitude that Jiang Yang spent a hundred years.
abstract
Sun Simiao, the drug king, and Mr. Jiang Yang, a centenarian, both adopted the regimen of prolonging life and caring for body and mind. Learning early is good for them, so stick to it!
There is intestinal and hepatic circulation from 5 am to 7 am. Drinking a cup of light salt water at this time every day can play a very good role in relaxing bowels, forming a regular pattern and prolonging life.
