At the beginning of Huangdi Neijing, the significance of health preservation and disease prevention was expounded, and specific methods were put forward.
"Law is based on Yin and Yang, and based on tricks", which adapts to the natural changes of Yin and Yang in heaven and earth and is reconciled in the right way.
"Eat regularly and live regularly, so as to be in harmony with the spirit." If you eat moderately and work regularly, you can keep strong physically and mentally, so you can live a long and healthy life without getting sick. This is in line with modern medicine's advocacy of balanced nutrition, regular work and rest, not being too tired, and strengthening the body's self-resistance to resist diseases.
"Under the guidance of ancient sages, it is said that fake thieves sometimes avoid it." The so-called false evil thief wind is exactly what we are facing in COVID-19 today. Today, all our epidemic prevention measures are "avoidance". Whether we wear masks at home or go out, whether we wash our hands frequently or disinfect frequently, we are all trying to avoid COVID-19. For hundreds of millions of years, human beings have been constantly dealing with various infectious diseases. After long-term practice, people have summed up a series of effective principles and methods, which are effective as long as we earnestly abide by them and make perfect use of them.
"Therefore, saints cure diseases before they are cured, and first-class doctors prevent diseases before they are cured."
