Today, Bian Xiao will recommend some health preserving methods that the ancients respected. Modern people might as well learn something if they want to live longer.
First, diet and health.
Although the material in ancient times was not as rich as that in modern times, the wise ancients still discovered the benefits of diet and health preservation, and put forward the concept of "abundant food", that is, "five grains are for nourishment, five fruits are for help, five animals are for benefit, and five vegetables are for supplement", and we should pay attention to the harmony of five flavors, which is very worth learning and learning from modern people.
Second, timely health care.
The ancients said: "It is easy to hurt the liver in spring, the lung in summer and the kidney in winter." The seasons change, everything grows regularly, and human health care should follow the trend. Therefore, the ancients put forward the method of keeping in good health, that is, adjusting their life behavior according to the changes of the four seasons, which will help to keep in good health and prevent diseases.
Third, meridian health.
The human body meridian is a concept of traditional Chinese medicine, and ancient health preserving scientists have discovered the significance of meridian to health preservation. Huangdi Neijing pointed out that meridians have the functions of deciding life and death, treating all diseases and regulating excess and deficiency. Dredging meridians can be used as one of the important means of health preservation. Massage and acupuncture are often performed on some acupoints of the human body, which has remarkable effects in disease prevention and health care. These acupoints include Hegu, Neiguan and Zusanli.
Fourth, strengthening sperm and protecting health.
The ancients believed that Xue Jing was the essence of human nutrients and the material basis of life. If a person's sexual intercourse is not controlled, too much blood will be lost, which will lead to many diseases, physical weakness and even reduced life expectancy. So remember, strong sperm can prolong life.
Five, nourishing health
Nourishing health care is a kind of health care method advocated by Chinese medicine, and it is also a very popular health care method at present. Nourishing health is mainly to take nourishing drugs to nourish viscera, regulate yin and yang, nourish essence and blood, and achieve the purpose of preventing diseases, eliminating diseases and strengthening the body. However, we should pay attention to proper tonic and dialectical tonic.
Sixth, reduce poison and preserve health.
The ancients believed that many diseases of the human body were induced by various "poisons", such as dampness, heat and phlegm caused by dietary damage, and evil poisons caused by the invasion of external evils. Therefore, the ancients put forward the way of "reducing poison" for health preservation. Through diet conditioning, taking drugs and other measures, the accumulated poisons in the body can be reduced, thus reducing the occurrence of diseases.
These six methods can be said to cover all aspects of health care, and many modern health care methods are developed from them. I hope you can get some inspiration from them and help you embark on the road of health preservation.
