1, moderate diet

Diet is the main source of human nutrition and the main factor to keep healthy. First of all, we should "use five flavors carefully and eat lightly." "Five flavors" refer to five flavors: sour, sweet, bitter, pungent and salty. Huangdi Neijing attaches great importance to the diversification of diet, strongly opposes partial eclipse and partial eclipse of five flavors, and advocates that human life must be based on "five grains for nourishment, five fruits for help, five animals for benefit, five dishes for filling, and smells for supplementing essence".

The five flavors of diet have nourishing effects on the five internal organs, but if you are too partial to one, it will cause imbalance of the five flavors, malnutrition and harm to your health. Therefore, the harmony of five flavors is the most basic rule in daily diet and diet health. Therefore, Su Wentong's Theory of Wondering Heaven has repeatedly emphasized: "Therefore, I would like five flavors to be harmonious, with firm bones and tender meat, blood flow and dense management. If so, the backbone is fine, the Tao is like the law, and there is a destiny.

Modern diet should be light: advocate "three less and one more", that is, less fat, less salt, less sugar and more vegetarian food. If you often eat more fat and sweets, it will make people feel internal heat, and even cause carbuncle, jaundice, sores and poison. "Su Wen Angry Days" said: "The change of the paste beam will lead to a big furuncle."

Step 2 lead a regular life

"Daily life" refers to all aspects of work and rest and daily life. "Regular daily life" means that daily life must have certain rules, that is, daily life must be adjusted. Neijing emphasizes that rest time should be arranged according to the life rhythm of human body. Therefore, the schedule must be regular and regular.

Because people want to maintain a harmonious and unified relationship with the yin and yang of heaven and earth, people should work when the sun is dominant during the day and rest when the sun is used at night. If you violate the law of the growth and decline of yin and yang, it will do harm to the human body. For example, some people play mahjong all night and sleep during the day, which is against the law of the growth and decline of yin and yang in nature. Over time, it will definitely bring adverse effects to their health.

Neijing not only emphasizes the law of one-day growth and decline of Yin and Yang, but also emphasizes the law of four seasons.

3, don't work hard.

"Don't act rashly" means don't work against the routine and be "tired and tireless", that is to say, work should be kept within a certain limit, neither overworked nor relaxed, and be tireless, that is, work and rest should be combined and moderate. Excessive fatigue can lead to diseases, so Neijing regards "fatigue internal injury" as an important cause, but not only overwork will hurt people and cause diseases, but excessive leisure will also have an adverse impact on human health.

If you are too comfortable, your body will not move, which will lead to stagnation of qi and blood in meridians, and your vitality will gradually weaken over time. For example, Su Wenxuan and Wu Mingqi said, "Lying for a long time hurts the gas, and sitting for a long time hurts the meat." Sitting for a long time and being lazy in activities will naturally weaken your bones and muscles, so "getting something for nothing" does not mean doing nothing. The ancients also advocated "always trying hard".

Sun Simiao, a famous medical doctor in China in the Tang Dynasty, put forward that "the way to cultivate one's morality lies in hard work".

4, the spirit of internal defense

"Mental internal defense" is mainly to reconcile emotions, keep the mind comfortable and quiet, eliminate distracting thoughts, prevent violent fluctuations of emotions, interfere with the normal movement of qi-moving machines, and maintain a good environment for gasification activities in the body. Su Wen's naive theory of money hub, such as "leisure without desire, peace of mind without fear", "beauty is better than food, obedient to food, happy with its vulgarity, competing with others without envy", was advocated by the ancients.

The specific implementation should be "taking pleasure as the service and taking self-satisfaction as the merit", mainly to eliminate all kinds of bad emotions in spirit, such as ecstasy, rage, sadness and fear. Spiritual internal defense and "spiritual independent defense" are special efforts in ancient spiritual cultivation. Their main points are quiet, intentional defense and not overstepping the spirit. By supporting the will, it affects physiological functions, enriches vitality, prevents diseases and delays aging.

5. Avoid what you know.

"Know from the outside and avoid from the inside", that is, the unhealthy qi at four o'clock should be properly avoided to avoid invading the human body. The concept of TCM health preservation advocates "stealing wind from virtual evil, avoiding it sometimes". "Lingshu Jiugong Eight Yang": "If you want to wait for the virtual wind and avoid it, it is advisable for saints to avoid the virtual evil every day, such as avoiding the arrow stone, which can harm it. This is also called. " Exogenous pathogens are considered to be the main cause of human diseases, so the concept of TCM health care takes avoiding exogenous pathogens as a health care method.

At ordinary times, we should pay attention to avoiding the invasion of external evils, and at the same time, we should pay attention to adjusting our spirits, avoiding excessive emotions and wasting essence, so as to keep the true qi full and prevent diseases. Therefore, Gao Shizhen, a medical scientist in Qing Dynasty, said: "Those who know the outside world avoid it, and those who keep the inside are safe." . There is a case in an ancient book: at that time, there was a great plague in the world, and three people left home together in the morning. The result is "those who are full are safe, those who are hungry are sick, and those who drink are dead."

6. Law of Yin and Yang

The theory of "correspondence between man and nature" put forward in Neijing is to study the relationship between man and nature. The theory of "correspondence between man and nature" points out that there are necessary conditions for human survival in nature, so people can't live without the natural environment. To maintain normal life activities, they must adapt to it, otherwise it will cause diseases and affect their life span.

"Yin and Yang as the foundation of law" is to imitate the changing law of Yin and Yang between cold and summer in nature. Spring and summer should conform to the laws of nature to regulate yang, and autumn and winter should conform to the laws of natural collection to regulate yin. Gao Shizhen, a medical scientist in the Qing Dynasty, said: "Sages raise yang in spring and summer, which makes the qi of shaoyang grow and the qi of the sun grow;" Nourishing Yin in autumn and winter makes Taiyin's qi gather and less Yin's qi store. "It is pointed out that one of the laws of health preservation is to conform to the characteristics of yin and yang in the four seasons.
