Academician of China Academy of Sciences
Master of traditional Chinese medicine
Professor Chen Keji, a "master of traditional Chinese medicine", is the only academician of China Academy of Sciences in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. At the age of 84, he is still busy with work, but he is in good health. He has his own experience on health care.
Academician Chen Keji said: I have been a doctor for 50 years, and I have summed up such a set of health formula:
The mentality should be adjusted: to maintain health, we must first raise our hearts;
Pay attention to diet: one ginger and one garlic can prevent disease;
Chronic diseases should be managed: you can't use supplements at will.
▲ Academician Chen Keji is still in the medical front line at the age of 80.
Formula 1: the mentality should be adjusted.
Health first, cultivate one's mind and nature, don't compare with others, and attach importance to feelings.
Academician Chen Keji is 84 years old this year, but his mind is still very young. He often calls himself the post-80s generation. Mentality, he has three suggestions for us, you can refer to.
First, life span is natural, and pursuit is not deliberate.
Academician Chen Keji said that people's aging and longevity are natural laws, and people can't live forever. This must be accepted first, so that we can correctly treat the matter of health preservation and longevity. Therefore, don't deliberately pursue the length of life after retirement. Everything in the world has a time.
But there's no need to be too sad. The length of human life is determined by genetic factors 1/4, but the remaining 3/4 is determined by one's own living habits. Therefore, health care is necessary.
Second, don't compare with others and reduce your desire.
Academician Chen Keji said that to have a good attitude, we must have two factors.
First: reduce desire.
There are thousands of loads of grain, and it is also three meals a day; There are ten houses, which are also beds for sleeping.
The performance of a good attitude is that you don't get into a dead end when you are in trouble; No matter how much money you have, be happy; No matter whether you eat vegetarian dishes or not, you think the dishes are delicious.
Second: live well.
Don't compare with others, and don't give yourself a hard time. Only with a good attitude, health is half the battle.
Third, a good relationship between husband and wife can resist aging.
Academician Chen Keji also pointed out the secret of his health and longevity: attaching importance to the relationship between husband and wife.
He thinks that the relationship between husband and wife is good, and all diseases are reduced. The ideal relationship between husband and wife should be "Peach Blossom Garden, Xinghua Village and Pinganli", not "annoying the river, ignoring the dog and being a pink magazine".
Academician Chen Keji also has his own understanding of "companion". He said: The real good companion is not the one who likes cucumbers and he eats cucumbers, but the one who eats egg whites and he eats egg yolks.
Formula 2: Pay attention to diet.
Eat only 8 points full every meal, and one ginger and one garlic can prevent disease.
In terms of diet, Academician Chen Keji has many unique secrets: keep a meat, a dish and a mushroom on the table every day.
Drink less, eat more fruits and vegetables, eat all kinds of colors, and dark food accounts for half; Food should be mixed with vegetarian food, and rice and noodles should be mixed with coarse grains.
▲ Garlic is known as a "natural antibiotic", which can diminish inflammation and sterilize, strengthen brain and improve intelligence, and prevent cancer and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
In addition, Academician Chen Keji will eat two grains, two cloves of garlic and four eggs every week. He said that sticking to this diet is good for blood lipid and blood pressure.
Chen Keji also has strict control over three meals a day. He is only eight points full, and when he thinks he can still eat half a bowl of rice, he will leave the table.
▲ Three meals should be balanced.
Academician Chen Keji suggested that you choose oatmeal as breakfast to protect your cardiovascular system. Eat bean products at noon and vegetarian food at dinner.
In addition, it is advisable to set the dinner time at six or seven in the evening, and don't eat too much greasy things.
▲ Dinner should not be overeating.
Formula 3: Managing chronic diseases.
Don't eat tonics and drugs indiscriminately, and use ointment for the elderly.
Academician Chen Keji said that half of the people over 60 in China suffer from chronic diseases (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease and stroke) due to China people's eating habits, lack of exercise and medical resources.
Academician Chen Keji pointed out that retired people in China like to buy medicine, and even take medicine at will. However, in fact, this method of "treating" the disease is not scientific, and even the more it is treated, the more severe it becomes.
When people move towards middle-aged and elderly people, their bodies will change: the blood flow of the liver will decrease, and the ability of the liver to metabolize toxins will decrease. As the saying goes, "three drugs are toxic", but taking drugs indiscriminately will aggravate the condition.
Regarding health care products, Academician Chen Keji said: I don't eat health care products myself. For me, the best health products are ginger and garlic. I take one or two cloves a day.
I suggest that the elderly should take more traditional Chinese medicine ointment to recuperate, and don't buy medicine from pharmacies at will to take it by themselves.
Keep a mentality, eat more ginger and garlic, and don't take medicine indiscriminately. These three formulas are the experience summarized by Academician Chen Keji in 50 years' medical practice, which is priceless for health preservation!
