So how many aspects of health care? You can see a thing or two from Huangdi Neijing. Generally speaking, TCM health preservation can be summarized into four aspects: diet, daily life, exercise and emotion.
Diet: Eat and drink well.
Traditional Chinese medicine health care first emphasizes "harmonizing yin and yang". Diet is the main way for people to absorb nutrition and energy from the external environment, and it is the basis of life activities, which is closely related to people's survival.
There are four main schools of health preservation in China, all of which have a source: the Book of Changes. Four schools refer to Taoist health, Confucian health, Buddhist health and physician health. Confucian health care focuses on yang, Taoist health care focuses on yin, and Buddhist health care focuses on nourishing the heart.
Of course, strictly speaking, Buddhists are not healthy, but objectively speaking, Buddhists are the most healthy. Buddhists cultivate the mind, eat vegetarian food, and form good living habits: eat less and eat more, only seven points full. Eat well in the morning, at noon and at night.
As far as "drinking" is concerned, China people have three kinds of drinks: drinking, drinking tea and drinking water. Qi Bo's "drinking" here refers to drinking, and drinking should be moderate. Drinking tea should also follow the general principle of "neutralization of yin and yang" Huangdi Neijing divides people into five constitutions, and tea is divided into six types: green tea, black tea, green tea, white tea, yellow tea and black tea.
According to the five elements, tea is divided into five categories, and the five types of tea correspond to the five elements one by one. People with different constitutions can choose suitable tea according to the five elements principle.
Daily life: the law of daily life.
On the one hand, it is mainly to grasp the four hours of twelve hours-meridian and You Mao's daily life. That is, the midnight period from 1 1 to 1, the noon period from 1 1 to 1, the morning period from 5 to 7, and the afternoon period from 5 to 7. How should we live and rest?
In fact, TCM health preservation contains the oldest wisdom in China: work at sunrise, rest at sunset, and pay attention to the sky. Therefore, in the process of health preservation, it is basically necessary to go to bed early and get up early to give our internal organs a chance to recuperate.
Exercise: don't work hard.
"Work" means "labor" and labor work, which is an exercise for health preservation. "Don't be rash" means don't overdo it and don't overdo it. According to modern saying, try not to do too much anaerobic exercise, but do more aerobic exercise.
Anaerobic exercise refers to the high-speed strenuous exercise of human muscles in the state of "hypoxia" This kind of exercise is too intense, too much exercise, sore muscles, panting, sweating and exhausted. Aerobic exercise refers to the exercise carried out by the human body under the condition of adequate oxygen supply.
Nowadays, people's lives are generally unhealthy and there is less physical exercise. Therefore, at the same time of keeping in good health, we should also cooperate with exercise properly to achieve the best results.
Spirit: both form and spirit
Traditional Chinese medicine students pay attention to the state of vigor and vitality, and the symbol of China culture-Taiji Map vividly depicts the relationship of vigor and vitality, mutual nurture and mutual promotion. The most fundamental requirement of health preservation is to return to the harmonious blend of spirit and essence, and to maintain an endless and vibrant state.
When learning the introduction of traditional Chinese medicine, Huangdi Neijing is a classic of traditional Chinese medicine that we must study and study, and its health-preserving wisdom is also worth learning and learning from now. Traditional Chinese medicine is profound, and we should not only carry forward the inheritance, but also apply it to our lives in a down-to-earth way, so as to really learn Chinese medicine well.
