Yin refers to blood essence and body fluid. In Huangdi Neijing, it is said that "Yin originates from five flavors", which means that essence and blood originate from the intake of five flavors in diet. In the process of eating, we should pay attention to reconcile the five flavors, not too thick and too partial, and the diet should be moderate.
Before you eat moderately, you need to know what a healthy diet is.
A healthy diet should be based on conforming to nature and the general direction of human body.
Comply with nature.
The word "eat" in traditional Chinese characters is mouth, line and combination.
First of all, it conforms to the weather.
Second, it is suitable for geographical location and tunnel.
That is, we often hear about eating local seasonal food.
Third, eat your favorite food, birds of a feather flock together and have fun.
If a certain food is good for your health from a medical point of view, but you don't like it at all, and you force yourself to eat it every day, will this diet be good for your health? Obviously not. Not only should we eat foods that are beneficial to the five internal organs, but we should also eat our favorite foods. The combination of the two can really achieve the effect of health preservation. Therefore, Huangdi Neijing often says: "I am willing to eat, it is delicious." Be self-sufficient and enjoy yourself.
Conform to human body and protect spleen and stomach.
"There are three injuries to the spleen and stomach.
The first is satiety;
The second is to eat more cold;
The third is over-thinking. "
A healthy diet requires a certain understanding of the functions of the spleen and stomach, and at the same time, knowing what to eat is conducive to the transportation of the spleen and stomach and reducing the accumulation of food to form internal products.
Everyone's spleen and stomach function has certain differences. The transportation capacity of the spleen and stomach for food is limited, and eating too much consumes qi and blood, which is not worth the loss. Over time, it increases turbid qi and phlegm-dampness in the body. Eat five or six full meals, reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines, digest and absorb correctly, and over time, the body will become cleaner and lighter, achieving the effect of intellectual bodybuilding.
A healthy diet should be close to grains.
Huangdi Neijing said: "Poison attacks evil, five grains nourish, five fruits help, five livestock benefit, five vegetables supplement, and smells combine to replenish essence." We never talk about eating or eating vegetables. Vegetables are used for eating. Eating is eating melon seeds. Seeds are the essence of plants, and the starch contained in seeds is different from that contained in other parts of plants. It also has the lowest energy consumption and the strongest liquidity. Five animals are beneficial and play a icing on the cake. With the help of five kinds of fruits, eating fruits will play a laxative role and help digestion. And these are all based on "nothing is beautiful, nothing is evil, and going too far is a disaster". How important it is to read classics!
Huangdi Neijing is a classic work of Chinese medicine summarized by the ancients in the state of body sensitivity and wisdom. It conforms to nature and human body, and has experienced thousands of years of empirical tests.
You can choose to eat more fermented food for a healthy diet.
After fermentation, food can retain nutrition, be easily absorbed, improve digestion, produce new nutrients, and help the spleen and stomach and intestinal transport.
At the end of last year, the monster couple were invited to open a non-legacy course on the tip of the tongue in Yangpu District Cultural Center to teach the secrets of food fermentation. They were fortunate enough to take courses on aged vinegar, kimchi, steamed bread and bacon, learned how to make kimchi, steamed bread and bacon, and realized the fun and importance of food fermentation.
Confucius said, "Don't skip the sauce." . The ancients have long known that sauce is a good thing to help the body digest. Using microorganisms to help digest food is a major feature of Chinese civilization. Our ancestors were quite clever and discovered the secret of fermentation very early.
Second, you live a regular life and don't work hard.
In winter, you should sleep early and get up late. You can soak your feet before going to bed until your whole body is hot. If you feel a little sweaty, you can stop. Go to bed at 9 o'clock in the evening and get up at 7 o'clock in the morning; Don't do strenuous exercise, sweat less, and avoid air leakage and disturb the yang.
Third, the virtual evil thief wind, avoid it sometimes.
Don't pay attention to protecting the climate at four o'clock. Just like this winter, there are many cold evils, so we need to pay attention to keep warm and windproof.
Fourth, emotionally speaking, indifferent to emptiness, leave the spirit inside.
Mentally quiet and carefree, reduce desire and achieve peace of mind, satisfaction and happiness.
Do the above, make some preparations for safe winter, and lay a good material foundation for bringing forth the old and bringing forth the new next spring.
Do you really exercise in winter?
Exercise is also very easy to go astray without knowing the human body. Sports also need dialectics. Some people are physically weak, so reasonable and dialectical exercise is helpful to their health, otherwise they will easily consume themselves excessively, which is counterproductive.
Being able to get in touch with a teacher and a sport will teach you how to use your body correctly and let you gradually understand what your body structure is like. This can avoid a lot of sports injuries caused by not knowing what kind of exercise mode and intensity you are suitable for. It's not necessarily good to move around, sometimes it's better not to move. If you can't do any exercise or exercise, you can choose to walk slowly. When the sun rises, walk slowly for at least 30 minutes until your body sweats slightly. When you walk, you need to relax.
In life, after a busy day's work, many young friends will exercise in winter nights to achieve the effect of "keeping in good health", while Huangdi Neijing clearly puts forward that "we should follow the rules of life and not act rashly", and we should go to bed early and get up late in winter and not do strenuous exercise at night.
Exercise during the day improves yang, while exercise at night loses yang.
We often hear about sudden death on the treadmill. Some people insist on going to the gym every night. On the treadmill, they ran and ran, and when their eyes turned black, they fell down and never woke up. Some people say that life lies in exercise, but it is not. Sometimes, life lies in immobility.
The best exercise in the world is not in the gym, nor is it recognized as walking. Then where is it? What is this? The best sport in the world must be one that suits you. The exercise that suits you must match your physical endurance. All sports are very comfortable and just right after exercise; You are tired after all kinds of exercise, which means that this kind of exercise is not suitable for you. You exercise too much.
It is best not to touch the following minefields in winter sports.
First: Don't do strenuous exercise in winter.
In winter, you cultivate and hide essence and yang. The skin should not vent excessively. The so-called sweat and blood are homologous. Sweat is useful water and semen before it becomes water outside the body surface. Intense exercise in winter runs counter to the principle of winter storage. Going against the weather in winter swimming is not good for your health except for exercising your will.
Second: Don't do strenuous exercise at night.
Nourish yang during the day and yin at night. Nourish yin well at night, and the yang in the daytime will be the source. Yang's hair growth needs energy, just as the power of our car needs fuel and energy. The energy here is yin. Vigorous exercise at night is not nourishing yin, but consuming yin. There are many news about the sudden death of people who do strenuous exercise at night.
