1. The health care function of "moving" is the "moving" in health care, which is often referred to as physical exercise. "Dynamic" is based on the biological principle of using and discarding in order to strengthen metabolism. By exercising, we can replenish new nutritional energy in time to achieve the effect of strengthening the body. Its characteristics are "move", "use" and "complement".
1. Life lies in exercise. Both at home and abroad have the idea of dynamic medical care. Hua Tuo, a famous doctor at the end of Han Dynasty, advocated physical exercise, and personally created "Five Birds Play" to practice. Aristotle, an ancient Greek thinker and philosopher, once said, "Life needs movement". /kloc-the French thinker Voltaire put forward in the 0/8th century that "life lies in movement" has become a famous saying throughout the ages.
It has been reported: "The average life span of rabbits is about 15 years, and rabbits can only live for about 4 years;" Wild elephants can live to be 200 years old, but elephants in zoos can't live to be 80 years old. All this shows that exercise is beneficial to life, and research shows that exercise has many health-preserving effects.
The physiological function of exercise is to activate the blood, bones, muscles and ligaments of the whole body, and then mobilize the digestive system, respiratory system, circulatory system, endocrine system and nervous system to achieve the best state of activity, and promote the activities of various organs of the body and the regulation function of metabolic environment. In this way, the material exchange between human body and external environment is promoted, and the metabolism of internal environment is promoted, thus enhancing human immune function and resistance to diseases and delaying the aging process. Therefore, the famous French doctor Tissot said in the18th century: "In terms of its function, exercise can replace almost any medicine, but all the medicines in the world can't replace the function of exercise." Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty in China, also said: "People want to be diligent, and all diseases cannot be achieved."
Exercise is a feature of life. People need exercise, just like sunshine. Lack of exercise leads to many diseases. However, unscientific exercise, unreasonable exercise, excessive exercise and overloaded exercise will also damage health and even cause diseases. According to foreign statistics, professional athletes start physical exercise from a few years old and teenagers, but after forty years old, half of them are not as healthy as ordinary people. The reason is that in the competitive state, the amount of exercise is often too large and fierce, which leads to excessive energy consumption, excessive activity, fatigue and organ damage.
Ji Xiaolong, a professor of pathology at PLA General Hospital, has a deep understanding of this. In the article "Key Points of Longevity: Slow Metabolism", he pointed out: "Because the metabolism of tissues and cells in different organs is limited to a certain extent, if the metabolism reaches the end stage prematurely, the cell function will inevitably be low or decline; On the contrary, if we delay the metabolic process and slow down the exercise process as much as possible, more cells will still maintain great potential and hopefully receive real anti-aging. " Professor Ji also emphasized in the article: "After entering old age, the focus of daily life is not to do more vigorous sports, but to keep your body quiet and slow down your metabolism. Let the tree of life be evergreen and the water of life always flow. "
It seems that "life lies in gentle exercise" is the inner meaning of health preservation.
2. Light exercise is a kind of relaxing exercise. "Light sports" is a new concept of sports that appeared at the end of the 20th century. "Light exercise" refers to easy exercise or happy exercise. "Light sports" can also be called "light sports", such as jogging, walking, swimming, gymnastics, playing Tai Ji Chuan, stretching your arms, dancing yangko, playing badminton and kicking shuttlecock. Light exercise is characterized by low energy consumption, which is limited to not feeling tired or slightly tired after exercise. After exercise, you will feel comfortable and happy.
Scientists' research has proved that "light exercise" will be of great benefit to health care if it can persist.
3. Exercise precautions (1) should vary from person to person: the choice of exercise items must be based on your own physique, conditions and illness, and make a choice that suits your own characteristics. Learn as much as possible about the fitness mechanism and adverse reactions of the selected exercise.
(2) Step by step: After choosing a good exercise, the amount of exercise should be smaller at first, and then gradually increase after adaptation. It is forbidden to rush blindly and mess around casually.
(3) Long-term persistence: Exercise cannot achieve good health care effect. Moderate exercise can only last for a day or two. To achieve good health care effect, it is necessary to let the body accumulate life energy.
(4) Formation law: According to your own conditions, try to arrange exercise time regularly to form a "biological clock" effect in the body, which will get twice the result with half the effort.
(5) Combination of static and dynamic: Exercise must be organically combined with rest in order to exert greater fitness benefits. 2. the health care function of "quietness" in health care, "quietness" means physical and mental peace. Advocating "quietness" is one of the main traditional health care methods in China. Laozi's Tao Te Ching said, "Be empty and be quiet." Huangdi Neijing said: "Quiet leads to longevity, while impetuous leads to death." "Life-preserving and Life-prolonging Record" said: "... in harmony with the heart, thinking less, quiet and carefree." "Quiet" health care is a "throttling" health care method based on reducing internal friction, which is characterized by "introversion" and "rest".
The "Inner alchemy" created by Taoist health experts is based on "virtual quietness" and through "rest", the energy in the body is accumulated from quantitative change to qualitative change, so that its own energy takes a qualitative leap, thus prolonging life and seeing for a long time. After thousands of years of practice, it has been proved that the "Inner alchemy" created by Taoism is an effective method to prolong life. Through a series of exercises, this method enables the body to repair itself, accept external static and internal dynamic, constantly adjust the internal environment of the body, promote the balance of yin and yang, make qi and blood flow smoothly, and get through the two meridians of Ren Du and even the eight meridians and twelve meridians, so as to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body and prolonging life.
Modern medical research also shows that the human body's breathing and heartbeat are relatively slow, the body temperature is relatively low, the biological clock is relatively slow, and the metabolic rate of the human body is relatively low, which can accumulate more energy for the human body and lay the foundation for human health care and longevity. Among animals, turtles have the strongest adaptability and the longest life span, because their physiological conditions meet the above conditions. The practice of "quietness" is to let the body receive and maintain the above physiological state. There are many people who live long in Buddhism and Taoism in China, which has a lot to do with their practice of "Gong Jing".
It is worth pointing out that quiet is not sitting still and falling asleep, but mainly refers to inner peace. A large number of surveys show that people with stable mood, small mood fluctuation and quiet heart not only look good, but also have a very low incidence of heart disease.
3. The necessity of "quietness" and "mobility" should be unified with Zhuangzi's regimen. While advocating "liveliness", he emphasized the "quietness" of "hiding deeply and enriching" and "saving energy". Therefore, it should be said that only by combining "quietness" and "mobility" can health care really play its role. "Life lies in exercise and rest" should be a magic weapon for health preservation.
