Psychological balance is a good medicine for health.
In modern society, the pace of life is tense and the work competition is fierce. People are inevitably impetuous and nervous because of external interference, which has a negative impact on health. Zhang Lao said that maintaining a balanced mentality and an optimistic attitude is very important for human health. Happiness is a good medicine for health. Optimistic, open-minded, cheerful, contented, think more about its positive side, think more about its friendly side, listen more to cheerful words, and make more cheerful people, which can eliminate bad emotions. As the saying goes: "Smile, less; If you are bored, you will get old. "Laugh every day, but don't laugh wildly, so as not to consume your heart; Anger hurts people the most and damages people's life. When you are angry, you can forgive others, tolerate things and get rid of vulgarity. Zhang Lao said that he has always adhered to the principle of letting nature take its course, being calm when things go wrong, being calm when you are proud, and being calm when you are frustrated. These are the four great medicines to keep the mental balance.
Adjust your mood and be as calm as water.
Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to "being indifferent to the empty and bright, hiding the essence inside", and Zhang Lao will also be broad-minded and not haggle over every ounce. Zhang Lao pointed out that if a person is cheerful, cheerful, optimistic about life, peaceful yin and yang, smooth qi and blood, and harmonious internal organs, his body will naturally be in a healthy state. On the other hand, bad mental state can directly affect the function of human viscera, leading to dysfunction of viscera, obstruction of qi and blood circulation, decline of disease resistance and weakness of vital qi, thus leading to various diseases. Zhang Xuewen himself suffers from hypertension and diabetes. He admits that he is a little impatient at ordinary times, but as a doctor, he can be very calm in the face of patients. Zhang Lao's duty is to save lives, and "forgetting me" helps others regain their health, which is one of the reasons for his long and healthy life.
Diet and life rules
Zhang Lao believes that developing good eating habits is also an important aspect of eating health. For example, chew slowly when eating, don't gobble it up, so as to facilitate digestion and absorption; Pay attention when eating, don't think about other things when eating, or read books and watch TV, which will not only affect appetite, but also affect the secretion of digestive juice, which may cause stomach problems after a long time; Have a happy mood when eating to promote the secretion of gastric juice and help food digestion; If you are too excited, excited, angry, etc. Eating reluctantly can cause fullness and even pain in the stomach.
Always use your mind.
Zhang Lao pointed out that the key to health care is to use the brain, especially for retired people, to find more opportunities to use the brain. Life lies in brain movement, and human aging begins with the brain. If we can insist on using brain exercise, that is, using more brains, we can delay brain aging and prolong the life of brain cells.
