Health preservation, also known as Daosheng and Shousheng, is the way of health preservation. There are three treasures in the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars; There are three treasures on the earth, fire, water and wind; And people have three treasures, that is, spirit. What exactly is this spirit? "Essence", that is, "healthy qi" (true qi), refers to the essence and function of life. For example, human body fluids and blood can be said to be no problem. With this material foundation, qi can be generated, and qi itself is power, energy and vitality. Therefore, with essence, you can have spirit and essence, and you can reflect trance. The content of health care is very extensive and there are many methods, and health care experts in past dynasties have accumulated extremely valuable experience.
Health, we should put "prevention" first. Huangdi Neijing puts forward that "a sage who doesn't cure is ill and doesn't cure." If you don't treat it, it will be chaotic ... "Zhang Zhongjing's" synopsis of the golden chamber "begins:" Go to work to treat diseases and prevent problems before they happen. "In Sun Simiao's" Prepare for a Thousand Daughters ",it is also mentioned that" doctors are not sick, Chinese medicine is sick, and doctors are sick. " "
People should pay attention to their health. Take the concept of "treatment as the supplement and prevention as the priority" to prevent problems before they happen. Only by ensuring a healthy body can we better cope with the work. In the past, work with illness was often emphasized. Now that you are sick, you should go to the hospital for early treatment, so don't lose the opportunity of treatment, so prevention is the most important thing.
There are three ways to maintain health, one is food, the other is medicine, and the third is qi.
The simplest way to feed is not to eat too much until you burp your throat, that's all;
Medicine, you can take some medicine appropriately to help regulate your body;
Nourishing qi is to exercise one's healthy qi and enhance immunity.
External evils should be guarded against anytime and anywhere. At the same time, the inner emotions should be stable and clean, without distracting thoughts (desires), to prevent emotional fluctuations, so that the qi in the body is smooth and the spirit is naturally full (Pei). The most important thing is to enhance the integrity of the body, "keeping healthy qi inside, evil can not be done." The human body is full of healthy qi, so disease and evil can't invade naturally.
Eating and drinking is unhealthy, eating and drinking is healthy, eating and drinking will suffer, and overeating will collapse. It's good to drink one or two cups of boiled water in the morning. It can purify the stomach and dilute the blood viscosity, which is beneficial to the body. Food is the most important thing for people. Some people are usually healthy, but they may not live long. Some people live a long life, but they are not necessarily healthy.
Why? For example, athletes are unhealthy. However, many athletes overdraw their lives because of overloaded sports, which is actually overdraft, and often die on the playground.
In Neijing, it is recorded that "diet is moderate, daily life is regular, and you should not act rashly". Therefore, people should let nature take its course, eat moderately, have a rest, have a moderate rest, combine activities with activities, and have a balanced mentality. Man is based on heaven and earth and lives in nature. We can't go against its laws of motion. For example, twelve hours a day (twenty-four hours), eating, working, resting and sleeping for eight hours, conforms to the natural law of yin and yang transformation day and night. Adjust according to the laws of nature and human body changes, increase or decrease clothes with the weather changes, and adjust diet according to local conditions through the changes of solar terms in four seasons (spring, summer, autumn and winter). No matter how busy your work is and how limited your time is, you should also find time to do some activities that are beneficial to you. Don't overwork and overdraw your body.
Modern people pay more attention to disease than health, let alone health preservation. Healthy and unhealthy, live out quality. Without water, people can't live. The word "live" is the tongue of three drops of water. You can only live if there is water beside your tongue all the time. The body fluid in the mouth is always insufficient, and I always feel thirsty, indicating that my body is not very good. A healthy population is full of water, so this movable type and ancient Chinese characters do have some truth.
Life is seventy years old, and it is not surprising to live to eighty years old. Now that the conditions are so good, you can count your life at the age of 80, 90, 100, 120. Can people live to be over 100 years old? Absolutely. Why aren't many people alive? That's because I haven't studied health care and taken a good rest. From the health point of view, prevention is more important than treatment, and it is too late to treat again.
In Huangdi Neijing, it is very incisive: "If the husband is ill before it is too late, he will be treated with medicine, and the chaos after treatment will also be cured. It's not too late to dig wells for soldiers! " It is said that prevention is better than cure. Going to see a doctor when you are sick is like digging a well when you are thirsty and making weapons when you fight. Is it too late?
There are five standards of health. In terms of physical health, there are five criteria for health: first, a clear head. Thinking is not chaotic, methodical, and can recall the past; Second, you can eat. Eat 70% to 80% full every meal, 70% is the best, and a little hunger is the best health state; Third, you can sleep. You can fall asleep in two or three minutes and wake up refreshed. This is good sleep, that is, good sleep quality; Fourth, the two stools are unobstructed. Urinating is beneficial, defecation is smooth, and defecation is guaranteed once a day. If people want to live forever, their intestines must always be clear; Fifth, the legs and feet are neat.
According to the standards of the World Health Organization, the dietary ratio of Asians should be "433", that is, 400g of cereals, including rice noodles, beans, potatoes and taro, 300g of vegetables and fruits, 300g of protein and 300g of fat. To eat omnivores, eat at least 30 kinds of foods every day and eat breakfast seriously. Seven nutrients can be ingested by eating omnivores, including carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, mineral elements, water and dietary fiber.
The amount of three meals is also based on "433", that is, breakfast accounts for 40%, so you should eat well and in moderation; 30% for lunch and 30% for dinner. Simple. Not eating breakfast in the morning has many adverse effects, especially the high bile concentration is easy to form stones, so you must eat breakfast well. If the requirements are higher, the serving size of the elderly should be "442", that is, 40% for breakfast, 40% for lunch and 20% for dinner. Eating too much dinner affects the sleep of the elderly. Chinese medicine says, "Eat less and be comfortable for one night." The World Health Organization also recommends eating less and more meals, and eating less at dinner is beneficial to the digestion and absorption of the elderly.
Scientific dieting is good for health. Many people have misunderstandings about eating: first, eating more than eating less is a kind of enjoyment; Second, I feel that the more I eat, the more nutrition I will have. Third, it is believed that appetite is a physiological reaction, so it is good for health to let nature take its course and eat whatever you want. Obviously, the above ideas and practices are extremely unscientific. In fact, eating too much is not comfortable. In the case of overeating, people will not fully absorb the nutrition in food, but will increase the burden of digestive organs such as stomach, intestine, liver, gallbladder and pancreas, thus causing diseases in this area.
Therefore, in order to live a long and healthy life, we should still go on a diet. Dieting should be scientific, and food intake standards should be formulated according to different situations of life, study and work. Another simple way is to set the standard of food intake, that is, you can follow your feelings: if you don't have gastrointestinal diseases, but you often burp, pan-acid, have a feeling of fullness in your upper abdomen, bad breath, thick tongue coating, much farting, bad stool, lethargy, mental retardation, fever in your hands and feet, and still feel full before eating and before going to bed, this will prompt you to eat too much, so you should consider reducing your food intake when eating.
Finally, I want to make a mistake, that is, thrift and fear of waste. For example, a meal is only a la carte or rice, which is a pity that everyone can't bear to eat. This is a sad pass. In fact, this is also wrong. It's not good to eat it. Why do you have to eat reluctantly?
