Huangdi Neijing, a classic of traditional Chinese medicine, said: "The husband who descended from heaven since ancient times was born in Yin and Yang". Chinese medicine pays attention to the preservation of yin and yang, and the zodiac also distinguishes between yin and yang and five elements. The five elements are gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Chinese medicine says that "the five elements can be turned into five grains, which can recharge their batteries, supplemented by five fruits, which are beneficial to five animals and filled with five dishes, and the smells are consistent to supplement the essence." It can be seen that health preservation is closely related to the balance of the five elements. The following will elaborate on the related contents of the zodiac and the five elements of health preservation.

1, mice and pigs

Rats are children, pigs are the sea, and rats and pigs are five elements of water. During the summer solstice, fire is hot and water vapor evaporates. Water is the kidney of human organs and urinary system. Therefore, during the summer solstice, the zodiac rats and pigs need to drink a proper amount of water, have a light diet, and pay special attention to the healthy maintenance of the kidneys.

2. Cattle, sheep, dragons and dogs

Cows are ugly, sheep are not ugly, dragons are Chen, and dogs are Xu, all of which are places of five elements. During the solar terms from summer to the sun, the five elements of the earth are easily influenced by the solar terms, forming a pattern of "fire burning the soil dry" and "fire burning hot". Earth symbolizes the spleen and stomach in Chinese medicine, and also governs the skin. The zodiac is a friend of cattle, sheep, dragons and dogs. You should pay attention to maintaining your body, especially the health of your skin and spleen and stomach.

3. Snakes and horses

Snakes are three fires, and horses are noon fires. In the second half of the afternoon, the fire station and the summer solstice combined to form volcanic lava. Huangdi Neijing, a classic of traditional Chinese medicine, says: "Sages nourish yang in spring and summer and yin in autumn and winter", that is, they nourish their hearts and hearts in spring and summer and their lungs and kidneys in autumn and winter. Excessive fire in summer will affect the health of the heart and liver, so snakes and horses in the zodiac need to pay attention to this aspect of conditioning and maintenance.

4. Rabbit and Tiger

Rabbits are cheap, tigers are cheap, and cheap invites Chen Bureau. This year is not an old year, the invitation bureau was successful, and the three-party wood bureau merged. Dog days are the hottest season of the year, and Muwang gathers fire to help. Fire governs the eyes and blood. People who belong to the rabbit and tiger in the zodiac should be alert to the stars and dizziness caused by staying up late, working hard and running around.

5. Monkeys and chickens

The monkey is Shen, Shen is northwest; Chicken is one yuan, mainly for divination, and Shen You's golden spirit gathers. Although there is a saying that "fire turns into hard gold" and "gold doesn't use fire" in the solar terms from summer to Japan, fire makes finance, and the health of the subject is slightly poor, which is not satisfactory. Therefore, monkeys and chickens should pay special attention to respiratory diseases and strengthen health care.
