What are the health preserving methods for the ancient elderly?
1. Meridian health care: Meridian is a "network" system all over the human body, which controls the movement and flow of qi and blood to ensure the normal function of each tissue system. Huangdi Neijing says that meridians have the functions of deciding life and death, treating all diseases and regulating excess and deficiency. Ancient health care experts believe that dredging meridians can be an important measure of health care, and the simplest method is stimulation, massage and acupuncture at three important acupoints, namely Hegu, Neiguan and Zusanli.

Hegu point can prevent and treat facial diseases, Neiguan point is helpful to prevent and treat heart diseases, and Zusanli point is the most effective to prevent visceral diseases, especially digestive system diseases.

Second, diet health: the ancients believed that a reasonable diet can regulate essence, correct the deviation of yin and yang of viscera, prevent diseases and prolong life. Therefore, we should not only pay attention to "abundant food", that is, "five grains for nourishment, five fruits for help, five livestock for benefit, and five vegetables for filling", but also pay attention to the harmony of five flavors, otherwise it will cause diseases due to unbalanced nutrition, biased physique and dysfunction of five internal organs.

Third, keep in good health in time: The ancients believed that there were four different climate changes in the sky, and the laws of life, growth, harvest and concealment of everything on the ground, including the human body. Therefore, the ancients put forward the method of timely health preservation from the aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation. The operation of human internal organs, yin and yang, qi and blood must adapt to the four seasons, and can't do the opposite.

Adjusting one's life behavior in time is helpful to keep fit and prevent diseases. Otherwise, it is easy to hurt the liver, heart, lungs and kidneys against spring and summer.

Fourth, reduce poison and preserve health: the ancients thought that if people were moody, it would lead to imbalance of Yin, Yang, Qi and blood in the body. Fatigue can damage temper, while diet can lead to dampness, heat and phlegm. If you have sinned against six evils, there will be many diseases besides injuries. This pathogenic factor is regarded as "poison" by the human body, so "attenuation" is proposed to preserve the true qi. By taking measures such as diet conditioning and taking drugs, we can reduce the accumulated poisons in the body, avoid diseases, prevent premature aging and prolong life.

5. Health care: Health care plays an important role in traditional health care. The ancients believed that God was the master of life activities. Keeping quiet and psychologically stable can maintain vitality, make the five internal organs calm, help prevent diseases, improve health and prolong life.

On the contrary, anger hurts the liver, likes sadness, grieves the lungs, and fears hurting the kidneys, causing various physical and mental diseases.

Sixth, self-cultivation: The ancients believed that people who pursue health and longevity should first start with self-cultivation. On weekdays, we should eliminate all kinds of delusions, say more good words and do more good deeds. Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, said, "I think about it sincerely, and I want to worry about it." Cultivating good conduct and often doing things beneficial to others can make you open-minded and happy.
