Huangdi Neijing recorded such a dialogue:

The Yellow Emperor asked Zeebe: "I heard that people in ancient times were over 100 years old, but their actions showed no signs of aging;" Now when people are 50 years old, their movements are old. What is the reason? "

Qi Bo replied: "In ancient times, people knew the way of keeping in good health, understood the changing law of Yin and Yang in heaven and earth, and chose appropriate methods of keeping in good health to reconcile and maintain. They eat moderately, live regularly and work not too hard, so they can enjoy a natural life. "

In this dialogue, Qi Bo's answer deserves our modern reflection. Health, in fact, is not that profound, just let nature take its course.

"eat drink man woman, people's great desires exist, but people want victory, justice or death; Therefore, people who have the right way will make the diet moderate, and men and women are different. "

This passage in "Night Talk Around the Furnace" makes people's desire and the necessity of moderation very clear.

The desire to eat and drink is a natural attribute of human beings. Eating and drinking well is of course important. But if it exceeds the basic needs, it is too extravagant and overeating, which violates heaven.

Li Kaifu, who once worked for Apple, has a successful career. However, a sudden illness changed his fate.

Facing the test brought by illness, Kai-fu Lee began to reflect on his past life. In the book Born to Die, he wrote about his unhealthy diet in the past.

He said that he was a glutton since he was a child. He didn't like vegetables and often ate too much. When I was young, I could even eat three pounds of steak in one breath.

When I was a student, I went to the "full cafeteria" with my partners, and I could eat nine pieces of beef tendon at a time. I was so full that I couldn't eat anything the next day.

Over time, it has put a burden on your stomach. Over the years, there have been more and more toxins in the body. How can the body not collapse?

"If you don't have a festival, you will be tired; If you can save money, it will be profitable. "

Just as the common people say: things belong to others, and the body is your own.

It is really unwise to eat your own body for other people's food.

"Fertile land has three meals a day, and Xia Guang Wan Jian only sleeps on a three-foot couch."

The best life is just three meals a day, with peace of mind; The bed is three feet, practical.

Now we are always talking about health preservation. In fact, health care is four words: let nature take its course.

According to legend, in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a general named Roger Ye in the Northern Wei Dynasty who lived to the age of 120.

Why did he live so long? He was asked the secret of longevity.

He said: "Eat well, live a regular life, combine work and rest, be abstinent, talk less and do more, and be carefree."

/kloc-at the age of 0/07, he is still strong and alert, and was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the military forces by Emperor Mao.

All extraordinary things are accumulated by ordinary little things.

Zeng Guofan also told his younger brother in his family letter: "Eat well and live regularly. There is perseverance in doing things, and Rong Zhi is determined. "

As a brother, I not only care about my brother's work and study, but also attach great importance to his daily habits and personal cultivation.

He wrote five health-preserving methods in his family book: first, sleep and eat regularly; second, punish anger; third, abstain from sex; fourth, sleep and wash feet every night; fifth, walk three thousand steps after two meals every day.

In fact, there are always two aspects mentioned in letters from home: one is to control your desires, such as not being angry all the time; The other is to form regular living habits. Eat and sleep by the hour, soak your feet every day and exercise moderately.

These habits are no different from ours today.

That's why. If you do it, it will naturally change; It's the same if you don't do it

Many times, the difference between people is not knowing and not knowing, but doing and not doing.

There are two kinds of people's fatigue: one is physical fatigue; The other is spiritual entanglement.

To recuperate your body, you must start from these two aspects. In fact, work and life are inseparable. When we are busy with our work, we must pay attention to maintaining our spiritual home.

Once, an American scholar said to thich nhat hanh, "Don't waste your time on gardening and growing lettuce. You should write more poems because everyone can grow lettuce. "

Later, thich nhat hanh wrote in an article: The way of thinking of American scholars is quite different from his own. In his opinion, if you don't grow lettuce, you can't write a poem.

The two are interrelated.

"Eating breakfast, washing dishes and growing lettuce are all necessary conditions for me to write a good poem."

If you want to keep a good working condition, you must find the source of relaxation and positive energy in your life. Real fatigue often comes not from physical fatigue, but from mental distress.

To love yourself, you should not only take good care of your body, but also protect your spiritual home.

To be your best self is not to live in a luxurious house and wear beautiful clothes, but to be filled with sadness and trouble. Instead, I wear clothes that suit me, live in a clean and tidy house, and my heart is full of infinite exploration and joy in life.
