Nowadays, many people are keen on keeping healthy. How did ancient people keep in good health?
In ancient times, people devoted themselves to keeping in good health, with the purpose of self-cultivation and keeping healthy, so that they could be disease-free and have a stable mind in their later years. In ancient times, people kept in good health in various ways, and many modern ways of keeping in good health were also left over from ancient times, which condensed the wisdom of ancient people.

First of all, it is more common to work hard on diet and eat some medicated diets. Chinese herbal medicines were used in ancient China. Different from western medicine, Chinese herbal medicine is relatively harmful to human body. Chinese herbal medicine can also be taken properly in daily life, which has the function of strengthening the body. For example, some people add Chinese herbal medicines to other ingredients and make soup to eat, which has the function of health preservation. Li Shizhen, an ancient famous doctor, also invented a variety of medicated porridge. He believes that these medicated porridge are suitable for the elderly and have a good nourishing effect on their spleen and stomach and body. It is beneficial and harmless and should be eaten for a long time.

Except for medicinal porridge, which is relatively simple in medicinal materials and easy to make, in ancient times, dignitaries would ask famous doctors to prepare health pills for themselves, which was relatively complicated and expensive. The curative effect of some Dan pills is exaggerated, but under the reputation, it is really hard to compare. Pills for health care are mild medicinal materials, and even if the elderly take them, they will not have great side effects, mainly seeking stability instead of curative effect. This is just a way to reassure the powerful.

In addition to exotic medicinal materials, ancient people also kept in good health through exercise. Many old people will do some proper exercise to keep healthy. For example, the famous Wuqinxi and Gong Jing were the first choice for the ancient elderly to keep fit. Up to now, sports are also very popular with the public. Middle-aged and elderly people who do morning exercises and dance in square dance can be seen everywhere in the park. This is a way of fitness, which can help people to enhance their resistance and keep healthy. In short, keeping in good health requires a healthy routine, eating habits and exercise habits to be effective.
