In daily life, some common diseases are also very harmful to health, such as three highs, stroke, scapulohumeral periarthritis, water poisoning, intestinal infectious diseases, skin diseases, liver diseases, cancer, hemorrhoids, heart diseases and many others, which are great challenges to health care. Health and longevity are people's dream goals. Now, let's learn to keep in good health scientifically and treat life positively.
First, what is health?
Health care refers to maintaining, conditioning and supporting life. That is to say, based on the principle of regulating yin and yang, harmonizing qi and blood, and preserving spirit, we can achieve the goal of health and longevity through various methods such as regulating mind, guiding breath, regulating four seasons, supplementing food, supplementing medicine, abstinence, avoiding food and so on. Health preservation comes from the needs of ancient ancestors to resist the harsh natural environment, regulate physical strength, resist diseases and prevent diseases. Health preservation is an organic part of China traditional culture, and it is the result of our ancestors' summing up life experience in long-term life practice.
Take care of your body and mind and let yourself live longer. Master Zhuangzi: "Wen Huijun said,' Good! You can't stay healthy when you hear me. ""Song Lu You's Zhai Shi ":"Eat, take fifty-seven steps, then untie your belt, put your pillow down and lie down less. This is the most urgent thing for health care. " Yuan Mei's Poems with the Garden in the Qing Dynasty, Volume II: "At the beginning of the same year, a beautiful woman was born to exercise, and she was seventy years old and had the color of a baby."
Generally speaking, health preservation is a narrow sense of health preservation, which refers to the knowledge of improving self-healing ability through non-drug methods. The formation of the holistic view of harmony between man and nature in the 50 th century BC marked the maturity of the concept of health preservation; In 6 10 AD, during the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, Chao, a doctor of Taiyi at that time, concentrated on the sources and symptoms of various diseases in Treatise on Diseases, but there were no prescriptions in the book, only 2 13 kinds of health-preserving prescriptions and guiding methods were listed. Therefore, since then, China has regarded health preservation as a routine treatment method, which has been officially advocated.
Second, the health requirements of different age groups
① Fetal period. Depending on your mother, you can feel the influence of the outside world and your mother when you grow up in the womb. Health care in this period mainly depends on prenatal education, so all kinds of health care requirements are aimed at the mother to ensure the normal development of the fetus, such as steady action, rich and peaceful diet, calm and happy spirit, hearing and seeing, turning a blind eye to evil things, adequate sleep, abstinence from sexual intercourse and so on.
(2) infancy. I have left my mother, and breastfeeding depends on my mother. When this period is immature, the body is not full, the air is uncertain, and it is easy to be full, hungry, frightened and attacked by evil spirits, and the disease spreads rapidly. Therefore, the health care in this period lies in the co-rearing of mother and child, the adoption of mother to prevent maternal diseases and children, the adoption of children to protect their various physiological needs, to adapt to its cold and warm weather, to watch more windy days, to eat reasonably, to be kind, peaceful and happy, and to make the baby develop firmly and steadily.
(3) Children and adolescence. This period has been completely divorced from the mother, and health care mainly depends on oneself, but it also needs the guidance and care of parents. This period is characterized by rapid growth, substantial increase in intelligence and physical strength, and gradual maturity of fertility, which is the most significant period of mental and physical changes. Physically, advocate omnivory, self-care, diligent hands and feet, fully ensure the nutritional needs of its growth and development, and avoid stunting and dysplasia; In particular, we should pay attention to making them participate in housework and social welfare activities within their power, be enthusiastic about public welfare, be honest, and avoid the habit of getting what they want because of excessive indulgence and never taking care of others.
4 prime years. In this period, we should strictly follow the basic principle of immortality, so that we will not grow old.
⑤ Old age. The last stage of life. People's aging is a natural law, so we should relax. During this period, most of the major events in life have passed. My mind is free from fetters, I feel comfortable, I visit friends to catch up with the past, I play chess, paint flowers, birds, insects and fish, I pay attention to the rules of my daily life, eat properly, exercise moderately, balance Yin and Yang, keep my blood flowing, and maintain my vitality at an appropriate level. In this way, I will be old and not die, hoping to prolong my life.
Third, we should follow the principle of health.
First, the laws of nature
"People correspond to heaven and earth." People's life activities follow the objective laws of nature, and the human body has the ability to basically adapt to the laws of natural changes. If people can master the law and take various health care measures to adapt to its changes, they can avoid misfortune, prevent diseases, keep healthy and delay aging. For example, "On Su Wen's Four Qi Regulating the Spirit" puts forward that "Yang should be nourished in spring and summer, and Yin should be nourished in autumn and winter to follow its roots." The principle of "keeping healthy according to the time" is to keep healthy according to the rhythm of the ups and downs of Yin and Yang in four seasons, so as to synchronize the physiological activities of the human body with the cycle of natural changes and maintain the coordination and unity of the internal and external environment of the body.
Second, pay attention to mental recuperation.
1. Avoid bad stimulation
Avoiding bad stimulation mainly includes two aspects: one is to avoid the influence of bad stimulation from the external environment on the human body as much as possible. Because, beautiful natural environment, good social environment, harmonious and happy family atmosphere and so on. , are conducive to mental aftercare. Therefore, we should actively create this kind of environment and atmosphere, and try to avoid bad stimulation from natural environment, social environment and family factors. The second is to actively treat physical diseases and prevent them from being adversely stimulated by endogenous factors. Physical illness will not only cause pain and other adverse stimuli to patients, but also cause mental burden to patients when they are seriously ill or sick for a long time. Their endogenous stimulation will also produce abnormal emotional changes, aggravate the condition, affect rehabilitation and lead to premature aging.
2. Improve self-psychological adjustment ability
Excessive and long-term emotional stimulation can only become a pathogenic factor if it is beyond the scope of human psychological adjustment. At first, people's psychological adjustment ability was closely related to people's "harmony between will and mind". In other words, "Soul Pivot Dirty" said: "If the heart is harmonious, the spirit will be straight, the soul will not leave, and it will not regret, and the five internal organs will not be affected by evil." Specifically, "harmony between mind and mind" is closely related to the temperament, gender, age, experience, cultural and ideological accomplishment of individuals in the crowd. Through the process of experience and ideological activities, we can transfer emotional reactions, eliminate their bad stimuli and maintain a good mood.
Third, pay attention to physical exercise.
Physical exercise can not only promote the smooth flow of qi and blood, make the body strong and muscular, enhance the function of viscera and physique, but also regulate people's mental and emotional activities and promote people's physical and mental health. Therefore, exercise is an important part of health activities. For physical exercise, it is generally required to exercise moderately and be "tired and tireless". Moreover, it requires gradual progress and perseverance in order to receive the effect of dynamic health preservation.
Fourth, I would like five flavors to be harmonious.
"Eating can exorcise evil spirits, strengthen viscera, refresh oneself with joy, and replenish qi and blood". Therefore, predecessors attached great importance to diet and health preservation. Food support also needs to follow certain principles:
1. Debate on proper diet taboos
"synopsis of the golden chamber" once pointed out: "if the taste of food is cultivated in life, it will be harmful if it is eaten, and it will be harmful. ..... If it is appropriate, it will benefit the body, and if it is harmful, it will become a disease and cause danger. " It shows that there is a dialectical relationship between diet and human health, which is suitable and taboo, beneficial and harmful. Therefore, it is one of the principles of food support to argue whether dieting should be avoided. Generally speaking, people with hot constitution should eat cold and avoid warm; Those with cold constitution should eat warm food and avoid cold; A healthy person should have a balanced diet and avoid prejudice.
balanced diet
The basis of living is food, and the body's demand for nutrition is various. A nutritious diet can promote the growth and development of the body, delay the occurrence of aging and reduce many diseases caused by aging. Therefore, it is required that the dietary distribution in food and nutrition should be as comprehensive, reasonable and complementary as possible, which is the principle of balanced diet. For example, on Su Wen's method of storing qi, it is described that "poison attacks evil, grains nourish, five fruits help, five livestock benefit, five vegetables supplement, and the smell is combined to replenish essence." It has already included the understanding that dietary distribution in food and nutrition needs comprehensive and reasonable nutrition.
4. What are the health care methods?
Tiaoshen health
If you are optimistic, you will feel comfortable and prosperous; If you are depressed, you will be depressed; If you are in a bad mood, you will be exhausted. Therefore, abstinence can make the heart calm, the blood vessels smooth and the spirit stable. Although there is panic and fear, it cannot be harmful. The way to adjust the mentality is to meditate, or to rely on the heart, or to entertain yourself with string songs, or to explore the secluded mountains, to be tolerant and calm, to be less idle, and to be free and fearless.
Tuna health
That is, qigong today. The key to qigong is meditation, quietness and not thinking. If you can live without me, you can nourish your heart and live a long life. Second, breathe in with your heart, activate your whole body and meridians with your qi, including dredging Du, Xiao Zhou and Da Zhou, so as to nourish your spirit, activate meridians, keep healthy and strengthen your body.
Qigong has a long history as medical care. It originated in Tang Yao period, laid the foundation for the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and developed in later dynasties. As early as more than 2000 years ago, there was a discussion about Qigong in medical works and other works in the pre-Qin period. 1973, among a batch of bamboo slips and silk medical books unearthed from Mawangdui No.3 Han Tomb in Changsha, Hunan Province, there are silk books and silk paintings describing Qigong. There are also many places related to Qigong in Huangdi Neijing, but this word was not widely used in ancient times, and it only became popular in modern times. In ancient times, it was also called guidance and breathing. Be persuaded, etc. Ge Hong recorded the experience and methods of qigong health preservation in detail in Bao Puzi. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Tao Hongjing collected the experience of Qigong health preservation before the Six Dynasties, and edited it into a Record of Nourishing and Prolonging Life, accounting for half of the book's length. It consists of two parts: regulating breath and treating diseases and guiding massage, some of which are very similar to the dynamic and static exercises used now.
Fang's Etiology contains more than 260 methods of guiding qi and exhaling qi under most syndromes, which can be said to be a summary of Qigong therapy before Sui Dynasty. Sun Simiao's book "Taking China Pillow" contains two sections, namely, guiding and activating qi, which is devoted to ancient Qigong. Sun Shi particularly emphasized the respiratory exercise function of "rational breath, that is, all diseases are not born". It also introduces the concrete application of the six-character formula, as well as the eighteen movements of "Tianzhu Tuina Brahman Method" and "Laozi Tuina Method".
Guiding medical care
Also called fitness training. Guided breathing has been used to describe qigong and physical fitness since ancient times, and there is no detailed distinction. Here, it refers to physical exercise as the main method of health preservation. The so-called "introduction" is because this method itself also needs the cooperation of breathing movements. This regimen includes Wuqinxi, Baduanjin, Yijinjing, Tai Ji Chuan and passive massage.
Bait health
Harmful food can be avoided by adjusting the quality, quantity and dietary rules of food, and it also includes bait and drug health care (called fairy bait in ancient times), including eating habits, diet maintenance, dietotherapy, food festivals, dietary taboos and drug maintenance.
Baojing health
Essence is the three treasures of human beings, refining qi and generating spirit, so essence is also the source of human motivation. Keep the essence, open source and reduce expenditure. There are two ways to reduce expenses: one is to recuperate, be calm and not waste, and protect yourself with quietism. The second is the holiday room. The ancients attached great importance to the harmony between men and women and the harm of sexual intercourse. They think that sperm is limited, and sexual desire is too exhausted, which will lead to disease and short life. Open source is to promote fine growth, attract mining and compensation. The former has bait, drugs, cultivation and other methods to try, while the latter is mainly related to sexual intercourse.
Environmental health protection
People's lives are inevitably influenced by the environment, so they choose water, soil, climate, topography and forest vegetation. The ancients advocated that building houses should be cultivated in Gao Shuang, where it is quiet, sunny, leeward, clear water, beautiful forests and fragrant grass, so they chose more famous mountains and rivers and quiet places. In real life, as long as it is appropriate.
