20 15 the average life expectancy in China is 77 years for women and 74 years for men; However, compared with the average life expectancy of Japanese women (87 years) and men (8 1 year), the gap is still obvious.
Chinese people's awareness of health preservation has been continuously enhanced, but there are still many misunderstandings.
The wrong health care method will make you get twice the result with half the effort, and the effect is different.
Today, I will introduce you to Wang Qi, a master of traditional Chinese medicine.
First, health is not raised.
Myth 1. Doing nothing "doing nothing"
Health care is not idle. After retirement, many people have no goal in life, take supplements and play with flowers and plants, but their hearts are empty. As everyone knows, once you are really idle, aging will come soon.
"Researchers at the University of Maryland in the United States have conducted relevant research and found that people who work normally after retirement are more likely to suffer from serious diseases and mental health than those who no longer work after retirement."
Myth 2. Separate from the group and "raise alone"
As shown in the sketch "Hourly Worker", the rural elderly go to the city to live alone, and their children hire hourly workers to accompany them. This phenomenon of "fighting alone" is increasing.
Loneliness is a silent killer, and the pain of life is endless. It has various forms, but the most pitiful and irreparable pain is loneliness.
No matter where you go, please call your parents every day from today!
Myth 3. Keeping the body "not keeping the heart"
A strong body is healthy, and a happy heart is healthy. Traditional Chinese medicine puts forward the theory that seven emotions cause diseases. Su Wen's theory of yin and yang should be like this: anger hurts the liver, likes to hurt the spleen, grieves the lungs and fears to hurt the kidney. Therefore, health care and nourishing the heart can complement each other and cannot be neglected.
At the age of 94 (19 16-20 10), Qiu, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, formulated an exquisite health-care prescription-"one flower and four leaves soup". Flowers refer to healthy and long-lived flowers; Four leaves, that is, open-minded, natural and unrestrained, tolerant and kind.
Second, health care is not a supplement.
Smoking, excessive drinking, insufficient physical activity and unhealthy diet with high salt and fat are the main behavioral risk factors for the occurrence and development of chronic diseases. -Report on Nutrition and Chronic Diseases of China Residents (20 15).
Overnutrition can cause many metabolic diseases, especially diabetes, obesity, inflammation and cancer. It will also shorten life expectancy.
A healthy state lies in the balance of yin and yang. If we blindly supplement and break this balance, there will be diseases.
1. Eat less and live longer.
Deng Tietao, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, is 65,438+000 years old (65,438+0,965,438+06-)-omnivores should not be over-balanced. Whole grains, wine, meat, fruits and vegetables can all be eaten, but the key is not to overdo it. Oppose the abuse of tonic, because improper use of tonic is harmful to health, so he advocates diet therapy.

Step 2 eat a balanced diet
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "five grains are nourishing, five fruits are supplementing, five livestock are benefiting, and five vegetables are supplementing": the diet structure should be comprehensive to meet the various nutritional needs of the human body.
3. Stay healthy.
Mind should be stable-spirit
Qi and blood should be smooth-exercise
Gastrointestinal obstruction-diet
Zhu Liangchun, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, is 98 years old (1917-2015)-if you want to live, you have to move. He goes to work by bike every day, and sometimes when he goes out for activities. He said it was a time-saving exercise method. Later, due to the lack of objective conditions, Zhu Lao began to exercise freely for 5 ~ 10 minutes every morning and evening.
Third, health is different.
1. People are different from "time"
The differences of four seasons, solar terms, day and night and time affect the physiological rhythm of human body.
As the saying goes, spring breeds summer and autumn harvests winter storage. Keeping in good health according to the time is a natural method of keeping in good health.
2. People are different from "land"
China has a vast territory, and the climate and diet in different regions are quite different. The south is hot and humid, the north is cold and dry, the eastern coast has a maritime climate, and the western continent has a continental climate. So people in the northwest are strong and dense. Southeastern people are weak and loose. Therefore, health care should be based on regions and local conditions. Yin Di medical care
3. People are different from "quality"
The dragon gave birth to nine different children. The key step before keeping in good health is to find out what kind of physique you are, otherwise you may have the result of "doing the opposite" and "running counter to". According to their different characteristics, it also embodies the health-keeping concept tailored by Chinese medicine for people.
According to Professor Wang Qi's research results, the first criterion for judging physical fitness in China was formulated:
Type A-peaceful constitution, full of energy, healthy and optimistic;
Type b-yang deficiency constitution, that is, the kind with cold hands and feet and cold body;
Type c-yin deficiency constitution is the kind of palm heat with yin deficiency and fire flourishing;
Type d-qi deficiency constitution, shortness of breath, fatigue;
E- phlegm-dampness constitution, that is, the kind of body fat and paunchy;
Type F-damp heat constitution is the one with greasy face and acne.
G type-blood stasis constitution, that is, the kind with dark complexion and long spots on the face;
H type-qi stagnation constitution, sentimental and unhappy;
Type I-special constitution, which is easy to be allergic, sneezing and crying.
Judge what kind of physique you belong to in order to suit your needs. In the later push, we will make a simple self-test judgment according to the different characteristics and performances of these nine constitutions, which is convenient for everyone to test themselves.
