The method of calming people regulates qi and blood and assists yin and yang. We should follow the health-keeping law of harmony between man and nature, conform to nature, nourish body and mind, adjust the rhythm of life process with the changes of time, space and seasons, and achieve the health-keeping purpose of balance between yin and yang and coordination of five elements.
(A) the emotional tone
Normal emotional activity is an objective reflection of people's likes and dislikes of objective things, and it is a normal psychological phenomenon. Adjusting one's mood to the best state is an effective way to ensure health and quality.
1, nourishing the heart is the highest state of health.
Meditation is the best way to cultivate the mind. People with a peaceful constitution can cultivate their self-cultivation through various methods, such as reading and meditation, leisure and health preservation, and Tai Chi exercises. , make their mood peaceful. Peace of mind leads to smooth meridians and harmonious qi and blood, so that the constitution will not be biased and all diseases will not be born.
2, appropriate catharsis, timely resolve bad emotions.
It is also important to prevent the biased and pathological constitution of the peace constitution. Especially at different ages, we should adopt corresponding methods and means to adjust our emotions.
(2) Daily aftercare
Adapting to the four seasons, the law of life and keeping harmony with the ups and downs of yin and yang in nature are the necessary conditions to ensure health and longevity.
1, adapt to the four seasons and adjust your daily life.
Huangdi Neijing has long warned that "every day has no festival, so it will fail at half a hundred." Human life activities have corresponding physiological changes with natural laws such as annual rhythm, seasonal rhythm, monthly rhythm and circadian rhythm. According to the natural rhythm of the four seasons, the change of the circadian rhythm of the human body and the individual's specific situation, we should formulate a daily life schedule system that meets our own physiological needs, develop a good habit of working and sleeping on time, and keep the physiological function of the body in a stable and balanced state to meet the needs of life, society and the natural environment.
2, daily life is often, not hard.
It is to adjust daily life and life rules according to the body's biological clock, arrange study, work, sleep and rest reasonably, develop good living habits, maintain air, and make the human body full of vitality and vitality. In order to improve health and prolong life. If the daily life is out of balance, it will damage the function of zang-fu organs, lead to listlessness, decreased energy and decreased adaptability, which will lead to imbalance of yin and yang, and eventually lead to physical bias, and even lead to premature aging or disease.
(3) Diet aftercare
The basic principle of a peaceful diet is a balanced diet, which requires food diversification. The focus of food and nutrition is to conform to the four seasons, be sincere and harmonious with the five flavors, so as to make the internal and external environment of the human body harmonious and unified, thus maintaining the balance of yin and yang and the coordination of the five internal organs. Huangdi Neijing clearly pointed out: "Five grains are the supplement, five fruits are the help, five animals are the benefit, five vegetables are the filling, and the smell is harmonious to supplement the essence." This is China's traditional omnivorous balance view. This is also the general principle of food and nutrition that people of all physiques should follow.
1, in line with the four seasons, reasonable aftercare.
Choose proper diet according to different seasons, and keep the harmony between human body and external environment, so as to maintain the peace of the body, promote health and prevent diseases. In spring, when the sun's yang rises, it should be receivable but not scattered, warm but not hot, but there are products of pungent heat rising and scattered. Eat more vegetables, such as spinach, leeks, celery, bamboo shoots, shepherd's purse and so on. In summer, the sun is strong and the climate is hot, so it should be cleaned up. You should choose light and fragrant products that clear away heat and relieve summer heat, and should not be too cold. The long summer is the time when the humidity is the highest in a year, so it is advisable to use light tonics, that is, light and moist products, such as poria cocos, yam, lotus seeds, coix seed, lentils, wax gourd, loofah and other light and moist products that strengthen the spleen. In autumn, Yang converges, Yin grows, and Yin and Yang are in a relatively balanced state. Should eat moist food, such as sesame, sugar cane, pears, grapes and so on. In winter, the weather is cold and the yang is deep, so it is advisable to nourish yin and subdue yang, such as eel, turtle, turtle and so on.
2, the smell is harmonious and the diet is balanced.
The first principle of diet recuperation is a balanced diet and various foods. Pay attention to the collocation of staple food and non-staple food in the diet, so as to diversify the edible varieties, such as grains, meat and eggs, dairy products, bean products, vegetables, fruits, etc., and then make a reasonable collocation to ensure the balanced and sufficient nutritional intake of the body.
3, I would like to be in harmony with the five flavors, not partial eclipse.
The five flavors of food are cold and hot, sour, bitter, sweet and salty. Their sour taste is liver, bitter taste is heart, sweet taste is spleen, spicy taste is lung and salty taste is kidney. If the five flavors are partial to the food, it will destroy the harmonious state of the five elements. For example, too sour hurts the spleen, too salty and sad, too sweet hurts the kidney, too bitter hurts the liver, and too bitter hurts the lungs. In order to balance yin and yang, enrich qi and blood, and coordinate viscera, it is necessary to take five flavors in a balanced way. Don't let the five flavors win, so as to keep healthy and keep fit.
Step 4 Eat healthily
(1) Nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing yin in autumn and winter conform to the operation law of natural seasons, and the influence of climate characteristics such as spring temperature, hot summer and cool autumn, and cold winter on the fluctuation of yin and yang, viscera activity and qi and blood circulation of human body. Choose a suitable diet structure according to different seasons to keep fit and prevent diseases.
(2) Fixed-point quantitative, three meals should be eaten reasonably according to the principle of "full breakfast, good lunch and less dinner" to avoid physical deviation caused by overeating or hunger. This is not only suitable for people with peaceful constitution, but also a universal dietary principle that people with various constitutions should abide by.
(4) Exercise and fitness
Doctors and health experts in China have summarized many principles and methods of strengthening physical fitness through exercise.
1, practice and persevere.
Chinese doctors and health experts in past dynasties have summarized many traditional methods to achieve health care and physical fitness through exercise. Exercise should choose different exercise methods according to age, gender and personal interests. Men can choose to strengthen their strength and endurance, such as equipment training, running, ball games and so on. Women can choose exercises to strengthen flexibility, such as aerobics. Physical exercise should be comprehensive and diverse, and all physical qualities should develop in a balanced way. Only by engaging in proper exercise that conforms to the physiological laws of human body and the basic theory of human health care and following certain principles can we achieve the best effect of strengthening physical fitness and improving health.
2, moderate exercise, according to time.
Regular moderate aerobic exercise can make qi and blood smooth, nourish the internal organs and external tissues, thus promoting health and enhancing physical fitness. Such as equipment training, jogging, swimming, ball games and aerobic exercise, and do moderate and persistent exercise. In the choice of sports, we should conform to the natural laws of spring, summer, autumn and winter, choose sports forms that conform to the ecological time and space and suit ourselves, and be proactive, with wide interests, moderate exercise, step by step, comprehensive exercise and perseverance.
(5) Medicated bait health care
Reasonable tonic is also a method advocated by ancient health experts, but it must be differentiated according to people, time and place. Throughout the year, spring is long and summer is long, autumn harvest and winter harvest, and people should also respond. The human body is in a state of balance of yin and yang and qi and blood, so it is not necessary to take the method of drug tonic. However, when the body is weak for a period of time, or when the body is weak in winter and needs tonic, you can take medicine for tonic. Pay attention to the principle of dialectical reinforcement. For example, according to the benefits of different ages. Young students have a heavy learning burden and lack of sleep, which leads to deficiency of both heart and spleen or heart and kidney. Lotus seeds and Polygonum multiflorum Thunb can be used. Children's internal organs are delicate, easy to be weak and easy to be solid, and improper diet is easy to hurt the spleen and stomach. They can strengthen the spleen in winter, using poria cocos, hawthorn, jujube, coix seed, adzuki bean and so on. Middle-aged people have a heavy workload, and they don't pay attention to rest, which damages qi and blood. Arillus longan, Radix Astragali and Radix Codonopsis can be used for invigorating qi and blood. Old people are very weak. Eucommia ulmoides and Polygonum multiflorum can be used when they are not sick. If you are sick, you must make up for it based on syndrome differentiation. In addition, different men and women have different methods of tonic. If the girl's menstruation hasn't arrived yet, angelica, white peony root, placenta hominis, etc. It should be when she is not sick. Don't overdo it, try to take the same medicine to reduce the drug bias. Take tonic just right, not too biased, otherwise it will lead to a new imbalance between yin and yang.
