Traditional Chinese medicine health preservation refers to a medical activity that supports life, strengthens physique and prevents diseases through various methods, so as to prolong life. The so-called life is life, survival and growth; The so-called maintenance means maintenance, recuperation and nourishing. In a word, keeping in good health is to maintain life. Guided by the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, we should follow the changing law of the biochemical set of Yin-Yang and Five Elements to scientifically recuperate human health and vitality. Psychological health preservation refers to the method of nourishing the heart, regulating the mood and life, so as to achieve the purpose of maintaining the body, reducing diseases, improving health and prolonging life. China's traditional health care emphasizes the relationship between man and nature, and thinks that man should adapt to the changes of natural environment and climate in four seasons, actively adjust himself, keep a balance with nature and avoid the invasion of external evils. The Book of Changes says that "one yin and one yang is the way"; "The image of law is nothing more than heaven and earth, and it is nothing more than four seasons." (I ching) Laozi said, "Tao is natural." This is the basic requirement of TCM health preservation. TCM health preservation is a treasure of Chinese traditional culture, and its purpose is to nourish vitality, prevent and treat diseases, and pursue health and longevity. There are many health care technologies in TCM, such as food tonic, medicine tonic, acupuncture, massage, qigong and so on. The ancients thought that the method of keeping in good health was not like replenishing heaven, and the method of replenishing heaven was not like nourishing essence; Fine tonic can transform qi, while strong tonic can concentrate; All spirits are the balance of Yin and Yang, the coordination of zang-fu organs and the smooth flow of qi and blood, thus ensuring the health and strength of the body. Therefore, the maintenance of vigor is the most important content and the foundation of human health. In traditional Chinese medicine, the most important physiological and functional activities of the human body are summarized as essence, qi and spirit, which are considered as the basis of life and the three major elements to maintain the overall life activities of the human body. As early as 2000-3000 years ago, Zhouyi, Huangdi Neijing and Laozi had a complete set of health preservation principles, which were like a treasure house that could never be dug up, and were worth exploring again and again. The concept of TCM health care includes three magic weapons: harmony between man and nature, balance between yin and yang, and harmony between body and mind. On the one hand, the healthy concept of harmony between man and nature. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that heaven and earth are the big universe, human body is the small universe, and man and nature are interlinked. People are always unaffected by heaven and earth, just like fish in water, water is fish, and the change of water will definitely affect fish. Similarly, changes in everything in the world will affect people. Therefore, TCM health care emphasizes the unity of man and nature, and the methods of health care are cold, hot and cold with the climate change of the four seasons, which should be adjusted appropriately. Second, a healthy concept of balance between yin and yang. People with a balance of yin and yang are the healthiest people, and the goal of health preservation is to achieve a balance of yin and yang in body and mind. What is Yin? Yin is the material basis of the body. What is Yang? Yang is energy, and Yin and Yang are relative. Everything that is upward, outward, active and feverish belongs to Yang. Everything that is downward, inward and cold belongs to yin. The reason why the body is sick is because of the imbalance of yin and yang, which leads to yang excess or yin excess, yin deficiency or yang deficiency. As long as we try to reduce too many prescriptions, increase too few prescriptions, and restore the original balance of yin and yang, the disease will naturally disappear. Therefore, TCM health care highly emphasizes the balance of yin and yang and healthy life. Third, the holistic view of body and mind. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to both body and mind, not only to the exercise and maintenance of the tangible body, but also to the cultivation and recuperation of the mind. The body will affect the mind, and the mind will also affect the body. They are two sides of a whole, and they are indispensable. Objective The purpose of health preservation is to prolong life and have health. Tao Te Ching once said that people who are good at keeping in good health know how to avoid physical and mental harm. They know how to avoid diseases through a correct diet and a healthy lifestyle, so as to gain health and live longer than the average person. If people can stay away from diseases, they can naturally delay aging and prolong life. Methods First of all, it is important for Chinese medicine to maintain health through self-cultivation, which is the most important condition for health and longevity. Traditional Chinese medicine has always attached importance to mental health. As early as more than 2,000 years ago, there was a saying in the medical book Huangdi Neijing that "if you are indifferent, the true qi will follow, and the spirit will be hidden inside, and you will be safe from illness", which clearly stated that you should pay attention to spiritual maintenance in health preservation. Taoism also emphasizes that people should be kind, loyal, caring, friendly, kind, compassionate and helpful. These virtues are not only beneficial to oneself, but also to society. Those who can possess these virtues will be more able to appreciate the happiness in life and enjoy a healthy body and mind. The second key factor to keep healthy is regular exercise. Sick people need exercise, and people who are not sick also need exercise to prevent it. At the same time of exercise, it can achieve the purpose of strengthening the body, strengthening the will, promoting digestion and circulation, and enhancing immunity. The third point is to maintain mental, emotional and psychological health. Keeping in good health requires us to cultivate healthy spirit and stable mood, and avoid mental extremes, psychological fluctuations and emotional instability. According to the viewpoint of "Anger hurts the liver, likes sadness, thinks about hurting the spleen, grieves the lungs and fears hurting the kidney" in TCM, it is further explained that emotional care is an important link in human health, and among all the bad factors affecting the human body, the most harmful one is bad mood. When people's mental state is normal, the ability of the body to adapt to the environment and resist diseases will be enhanced, which can play a role in preventing diseases. A healthy and balanced diet is also an essential factor for health preservation. For thousands of years, healthy food and balanced diet have been considered as the key factors to achieve longevity, and unreasonable eating habits have been accused of being the root of health problems. Disease prevention is also an important part of health care. Through regular exercise, proper use of drugs, proper food supplement and other healthy activities, everyone can achieve the goal of keeping fit and delaying aging. Theory one. Emotion: it is an important condition for people's health and longevity. Tao Hongjing put forward in the Record of Keeping Healthy and Prolonging Life: "The way to cultivate one's morality is great sorrow. This so-called neutralization will lead to longevity. " Second, abstain from selfish desires: keep healthy and seek quietness, so that the body and mind are in a state of worrying about everything, and also require people to have noble sentiments and an open mind. Sun Simiao said: "People who are not at the end of their eyebrows, or those who are dead, are doing nothing, doing their best and inviting fame and fortune." Therefore, people who are good at fitness "don't want to do what they want to do", "don't want more wherever they go" and "don't want to care about money first if they want to talk about charity". Third, distant: refers to abstinence in sexual life. People's growth depends on kidney essence, and kidney essence is endless, so people's vitality and disease resistance are strong. If you want to protect kidney essence, you must be gentle and soft. If you lust after sex and indulge too much, it will inevitably damage the essence and endanger life. Four seasons: people live in nature, and adapting to the seasonal climate is an important part of health care. "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" says: "The longevity of the elderly is not short but continuous, and it is also necessary to finish counting. If you finish counting, you will worry about harm." The so-called harm refers to the abnormal climate such as cold, heat, dryness and temperature, which is called "six evils" in Chinese medicine. 5. Diet: The spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow. If you don't eat properly and hurt the spleen and stomach, you will get sick and premature aging. Neijing discusses the harm of improper diet in many places, such as "yin produces five flavors", "double diet hurts the stomach", and "too much salt makes the pulse coagulate and cry, and too much bitterness makes the skin dry and weak. Sun Simiao's exposition of dietary taboos is more comprehensive and scientific. Besides common sense such as "Don't eat too much, keep it simple", "Always warm food" and "Always light, sweet and light things", he also described eating methods and food hygiene, such as "chew the delicious food slowly, don't swallow the raw food coarsely", "Don't talk too much" and "Rub your face and abdomen with your hands every time you eat". 6. Regular exercise: People are an organic whole, and regular exercise makes people energetic and healthy. As early as the Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo advocated preventing diseases through physical exercise. He pointed out: "If the human body wants to work, it will be exhausted when it is shaken, and the blood will circulate, and the disease will not be born." In Qian Jin Fang, Sun Simiao also said: "The way to cultivate one's morality lies in constant exertion" and "one's body desires constant exertion, not multipolar", reminding people to exercise regularly in order to get rid of illness and prolong life. Seven, shun temperament: refers to health and longevity, to support themselves according to the law of age. Sun Simiao analyzed the old man and said, "When people are over 50 years old, the sun will go down and the damage will come one day. The heart is drifting away, forgetting the past and losing the future, and being lazy with others are not satisfactory. Audio-visual instability, more retreat and less progress, unequal sun and moon, scattered everything, inner boredom, forgetfulness and irritability, sudden change of temperament. "This tells us that a series of physiological and morphological changes will occur after people enter old age. We should love and care for the elderly and adjust them according to their temper to help them enjoy their youth. Eight, take medicine bait: life is alive, enjoy different blessings, and the disease is ruthless, which will inevitably hurt people. Therefore, taking medicinal bait is also one of the contents of health preservation. The ancients attached importance to taking bait to prevent and treat diseases, preserve health and prolong life, and formulated many baits and prescriptions to prolong life. However, keeping in good health can't just rely on taking the bait, otherwise "even if you often take the bait and don't know the art of nourishing, it's hard to live forever" and "taking Yu Yejin Dan can't prolong life".
