Health care has a long history in China. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Huangdi Neijing, a classic work of traditional Chinese medicine, comprehensively summarized the experience of health care in the pre-Qin period, and clearly pointed out that "the sage failed to cure the disease, the husband's disease was medicine, and the disorder was the post-treatment. It's not too late to fight for a cone after crossing the well! " The concept of health preservation laid a foundation for the development of traditional preventive medicine and health preservation in China. For thousands of years, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and health care experts have accumulated and summarized the health care experience spread among the people, and written a large number of health care monographs, which promoted the development of traditional health care in China. There are many schools of traditional health care in China, each with its own strengths. Generally speaking, it can be divided into six schools, namely, spirit, moving body, strengthening essence, regulating qi, food supplement and drug bait. Each school's health-preserving theory is self-contained, with its own strengths and eclecticism, forming a unique health-preserving method in China.

Many health care concepts in TCM are similar to those in modern life sciences, and many traditional health care methods are also effective, such as massage, cupping, diet therapy, acupuncture, wuqinxi, Tai Ji Chuan, calligraphy and painting, qigong (induced pneumoperitoneum breathing) and so on. Except acupuncture, anyone can do it himself. Regular use of these convenient methods plays a special role in health care, physical fitness and disease prevention. First, diet

According to FAO, every meal should be a meat, a dish and a mushroom. Every meal has meat dishes, and chickens, ducks, fish and shrimp can be used to supplement protein; A vegetarian dish, mixed with several vegetables, supplemented with cellulose and vitamins; Mushrooms refer to Lentinus edodes, Volvariella volvacea, Flammulina velutipes, Auricularia auricula, kelp, etc. Because mushrooms can lower blood fat and cholesterol, improve immunity and slow down cell aging. Don't eat if you are not hungry, but you can still eat. This is the degree to which seven or eight points are full and enough is enough. In the process of eating, it is recommended to drink soup before meals, which is conducive to keeping slim.

Second, psychological adjustment.

Don't argue, don't be agitated, don't be angry, be tolerant and generous.

To be healthy, the most important thing is mental health and a good attitude. Who can maintain a balanced mentality is equal to mastering the golden key to health. If you have a bad attitude, you will get angry easily. If you have nothing to look for, you will have no gas to look for, and you will have a hard time with yourself all day. Such people die the fastest. Everyone is experiencing various comparisons in the process of growing up. Once at a disadvantage, there will be a sense of imbalance and pressure will suddenly arise. Desire is endless, we should learn to give up, get rid of psychological imbalance, and avoid excessive pressure from damaging body and mind.

Psychological balance is not like a dry well, nor is it insensitive; Psychological balance is a rational balance, a lofty realm after personality sublimation and spiritual purification, and the crystallization of generosity, foresight and wisdom.

Family is a harbor where the soul can rest. Family harmony has "three treasures": chatting, holding hands and loving the nest. Chatting is talking, communicating and communicating. Chatting is very powerful and can produce great happiness. Skin contact will have obvious psychological and physiological effects. People are not only hungry in body and mind, but also hungry in skin. Gently rubbing and massaging is of great benefit to physical and mental health. Scientific, healthy and artistic sexual life of husband and wife can make both sides healthy and happy. This point must not be taken lightly, and its importance has not diminished from youth, middle age to old age.

Third, first aid common sense

Sudden cardiovascular disease, every minute counts.

First aid: don't panic, lie down and take medicine.

With the increase of the incidence of cardiovascular diseases, sudden cardiovascular events are on the rise. If patients with cardiac arrest are not rescued immediately, their lives may be fleeting. It is necessary to master the correct first aid methods.

First of all, don't panic. It is wrong to cry or shake the patient. The patient must lie down on the spot, with his head tilted back and his chin raised to keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. Then give oral cardiac emergency drugs, such as Jiuxin Pills and enteric-coated aspirin. At the same time, let people around you call an ambulance. If necessary, give artificial respiration, cardiac compression or cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Fourth, exercise methods

Use each interval to do simple exercises.

Exercise for a minute or two every day can prevent cervical spondylosis.

Many people suffer from cervical spondylosis. It's actually quite simple. Squat down a dozen times, take a few deep breaths, hold your chest out, and do some joint protection actions. In a minute or two, cervical spondylosis can be prevented.

All cervical spondylosis is caused by the same posture, long-term muscle fixation and capillary occlusion, resulting in muscle, ligament and bone damage. As long as the capillaries are opened and the blood flow is improved, the pain can be alleviated. The method is easy to remember, that is, the right hand pats the left shoulder and the left hand pats the right shoulder, which has been shot 77 times. This action, if it is young, is better to start from the scapula; Old people can pat their shoulders and upper arms.

Many young and middle-aged people suffer from autonomic nervous disorder, dizziness and headache, mental and physical weakness, stand up after squatting, and their eyes are black, and some even fall and faint. Some people can't sleep well and feel sick all over. A simple method can be done in 5 minutes: deep breathing, chest breathing and abdominal breathing. Exercise diaphragm through deep breathing, increase oxygen supply, improve gastrointestinal function and protect internal organs. Also practice squatting and standing up frequently, 5 times each time to 10 times. With the change of posture, effectively exercise sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves.

If you want to exercise your muscles, learn to fly like a swallow. Arms spread out to the sides of the body, parallel to the ground, similar to the position of the hour hand and minute hand of a clock at 9: 00 15; Then raise your arms to the position of 10 at the same time, and then fall back. Do it 20 to 30 times in a row. In addition, stand on tiptoe and stretch your neck, keep it for a few seconds, and do it repeatedly to exercise the muscles of your shoulders, neck and feet.
