As soon as the slight cold passed, I entered the "ice out" for three or nine days. There is a folk saying that "a slight cold is cold, dripping into ice".

In the middle of winter, the whole country is frozen for many days, which is a good time to restrain the sun and protect the sky.

Xiong Jibai, Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Professor of Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,

doctoral supervisor

Xiong Jibai began to study medicine at the age of thirteen and began to practice medicine at the age of sixteen. He has been engaged in the clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine for 60 years, never stopping, and is nearly eighty years old. He still insists on outpatient service four times a week, treating nearly 100 people each time. He is good at internal medicine, gynecology and pediatrics of traditional Chinese medicine, and is good at treating difficult and critical diseases and treating them based on syndrome differentiation, with good clinical effect.

Professor Xiong Jibai, a famous old Chinese doctor and master of traditional Chinese medicine, thinks that for slight cold, we should strengthen the warmth in health preservation, avoid the wind and cold skillfully, and use the method of tonic carefully in Neijing. The slight cold season is the coldest period in a year, and it is also the high incidence period of many diseases. How do the elderly spend it safely? Professor Xiong Jibai suggested that the elderly should keep in mind three key points: keeping warm, sheltering from the wind and keeping out the cold, and making supplements with caution.

For example, it is necessary to follow the basic dietary principles proposed in Huangdi Neijing, so that the diet is regular and temperate, and the daily life should conform to nature. "Stay up late and get up early" in spring and summer, go to bed early in autumn and get up early in winter.

Professor Xiong Jibai pointed out that health preservation and nourishing the heart are two important contents of TCM health preservation, and the methods of TCM health preservation are preventing exogenous evil, reasonable diet and regular life. The way to nourish the mind is to make it quiet, pleasant and peaceful.

The rule of TCM health preservation is mainly four words: conform to nature.

Adapting to nature includes three levels.

The first level is to adapt to the changing laws of natural climate.

There are "spring, summer, autumn and winter" and "cold and warm" in nature, and "growth collection" in nature. People should obey this law.

For example, it is hot in summer and cold in winter. The ancients paid attention to "moving to avoid the cold, living to enjoy the cool."

Turn on the air conditioner in summer, adjust the temperature very low, and get goose bumps as soon as you enter the room; Or turn the air conditioning temperature very high in winter, which makes people sweat. These are all wrong. It is best for the elderly to carry a dress or shawl with them in summer and put it on when they enter the air-conditioned room to reduce the harm of air conditioning to the human body. It is best not to go shopping often in winter. The air in the shopping mall is not circulating, and the air conditioning temperature is relatively high, which is easy to make people lack oxygen. Don't turn the air conditioner too hot or too cold in winter or summer. Don't set the air conditioner below 24 in hot summer and above 26 in cold winter.

The second level is to conform to the laws of the human body, from birth to growth, and then to prosperity and decline.

People can't use growth hormone to promote growth, and don't fantasize about eating elixir to live forever.

The third level is to adapt to individual differences.

Huangdi Neijing pointed out: "People are born with rigidity, strength, length, yin and yang."

Apart from gender and age, there are great differences in physical qualities between people, so don't stereotype them. If there is a propaganda saying that "what you eat can keep you from getting sick", it must be false.

Professor Xiong Jibai emphasized that it is also an important aspect of health preservation to regulate emotions and avoid excessive emotions.

Suddenly happy and sad: There is an example of' Fan Jinzhong's residence' in The Scholars, which can well confirm this statement. Jin Fan always failed the exam, even in his fifties. It was not until the last time that he gave up any hope that he suddenly received a notice to take the exam. This is not good. Fan Jinyi's ecstasy turned out to be crazy. "Professor Xiong Jibai said. Happy should be happy, but how can you be sad? Because the mind governs the gods, and the mind governs the thinking consciousness and spiritual activities. Normal joy can make people look happy, but ecstasy can slow down their mood.

Anger hurts the liver: "I think everyone has heard the story of Zhou Yu on March 7th. Every time he gets angry, his symptoms are the same. Every time I fainted and vomited blood, I woke up for the first time and went for the third time. "

Professor Xiong Jibai said. Huangdi Neijing holds that the liver stores blood, and anger will directly act on the liver, causing qi and blood to rush upward, which is easy to cause danger. Elderly people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should pay special attention.

Fear hurts the kidney: the emotion of the kidney is fear. For example, people who are too afraid will pee their pants or even leave shit, and they are too afraid of damaging kidney qi.

Thinking too much hurts the spleen: "Lin Daiyu's lovesickness makes her unhappy all day." Chen Jingrun, a famous mathematician and scientist in China, worked out Goldbach's conjecture with five sacks of manuscript paper. He kept silent all day, thinking while walking. Due to excessive brain use, Chen Jingrun suffered from Parkinson's disease in his later years. "

Professor Xiong Jibai said that if a person is sentimental and always thinking, it will lead to disharmony in diet and seriously affect the function of the spleen and stomach, so it is impossible for Lin Daiyu to gain weight and have the plump posture like Xue Baochai.

There is a sad lung: let's take Lin Daiyu as an example. The emotion of the lungs is sadness. Lung patients like to cry, and Lin Daiyu is a typical sad lung.

The article "Ling Shu Bai Bing Shi Sheng" points out that "being angry and unruly is dirty", which shows how important it is to regulate emotions for health preservation.
