1, the reason for the longevity of old Chinese medicine practitioners
1, moderate diet, mainly vegetarian:
Old Chinese medicine believes that regulating diet and nourishing the spleen and stomach is the main factor for the elderly to keep fit. They like to eat whole grains produced locally, especially vegetables, beans and fruits, and eat less fish and meat. Although some people are partial to fish, they are also mixed with meat and vegetables, and they are never satisfied. Their feeding experience is: one is not full, the other is not salty, the third is not sweet, the fourth is not fat, and the fifth is not partial eclipse. There is also a good breakfast, full Chinese food, less dinner and so on. Some old Chinese medicine practitioners regard Yuan Mei's poems in the Qing Dynasty as a guide to diet and nutrition, that is, "longevity is only due to eating less, but not being full is really a cure."
2, orderly life, let nature take its course:
Old Chinese doctors often lie up at four o'clock and get up early in the evening of spring and summer to cope with the growth of yang. In autumn, lie down early and get up early, not being cut by the cold; Going to bed early and getting up late in winter will not disturb the body's yang by the cold. Their sleep is "sleep first, then sleep." "Eliminate distractions before going to bed and sleep more." It is beneficial to sleep, such as washing feet before going to bed, not talking before going to bed, not eating before going to bed, etc. In terms of clothing, relaxation and comfort are good for blood circulation. Spring clothes slowly take off, and autumn clothes slowly freeze (as the saying goes, "Spring covers autumn"). They like "walking slowly", and most old Chinese medicine practitioners in their seventies still insist on walking to work, which is both a walk and entertainment.
3, exercise, perseverance:
Most old Chinese doctors attach great importance to physical exercise when they are young, such as practicing Tai Ji Chuan, Baduanjin, Wuqinxi, Yijinjing, or self-made aerobics. There are also simple and easy methods such as knocking teeth, swallowing, rubbing feet, rubbing abdomen, closing ears, shaking hands and pressing healthy points. Some people prefer quietness to "movement", but this "quietness" is not absolute immobility, but self-regulation rather than physical exercise, that is, paying attention to internal strength. If you want to be healthy, practice every day. No matter what kind of exercise, persistence is the key to keep the body's effective metabolism.
4, indifferent attitude, patience remains:
Old Chinese medicine practitioners can often relieve their worries and troubles and eliminate the interference of unfavorable factors on health. If something goes wrong, you can take your time, take your time, or take the method of avoiding the environment and changing your mentality; Or talk to people and comfort themselves; Or cooling treatment, without going to extremes. During the Cultural Revolution, most of these old Chinese medicine practitioners were persecuted. They firmly believe that "the yin will clear up after a long time" and "justice will eventually overcome evil" and never give in to difficulties. When it comes to personal welfare, we never argue with others, but give priority to concessions and take forbearance as a blessing.
5, willing to contribute, not for fame and fortune:
The old Chinese doctor regards relieving pain for patients as the greatest pleasure in life. "The happiest thing in life is to be a doctor." They don't want to live a full and idle life. Old Chinese doctors often say that when you see a patient, you will forget all your troubles. It's really "I like to forget my worries, but I don't know when I'm old." They don't value money. People think that if a person pays too much attention to material interests and pursues blindly, he will consume his own efforts, so how can he talk about longevity?
6, nip in the bud, take care of for a living:
Old Chinese medicine practitioners are familiar with the idea of "treating before illness" in Huangdi Neijing, and advocate three principles: preventing before illness, preventing change after illness, and preventing recovery after illness. "If you worry about it, it will be difficult to prosper the country." Only with a sense of urgency can we establish the fundamental law of nip in the bud. Many old Chinese medicine practitioners are old, suffering from hypertension, cerebrovascular diseases, chronic gastritis, emphysema and so on. However, they firmly believe that "the way to maintain health lies in the absence of people", which can create various conditions to eliminate the suffering of diseases, and can also practice calligraphy and painting to nourish the heart and replenish qi; Or leave the abdomen with Yuanyang; Or move the limbs to transport blood; Or chat with the younger generation, often keeping the old childlike innocence; Or eat natural health products, such as walnut kernel, pine nut, black sesame, chestnut, iron stick yam, honey, lily and so on. Soften blood vessels and remove impurities.
7, sexual abstinence, can not help but not longitudinal:
For sexual health care, the old Chinese medicine practitioners believe that sex should not be indulged in youth and should not be absolutely prohibited in old age. It is difficult to have a clear rhythm of sexual intercourse after middle age. An old Chinese doctor put forward the "99 key signature method", that is, after 45 years old, according to the number of heads, 4 plus 1, that is, 5 × 5 = 25, once every 25 days; After the age of 55, add 1 to the first digit, that is, 6× 6 = 36, once every 36 days; After the age of 65, press 7× 7 = 49, that is, once every 49 days. This method is easy to remember and implement, and basically conforms to the principle of abstinence in sexual intercourse for middle-aged and elderly people.
There is no denying that genes are closely related to longevity. But health and longevity depend more on acquired factors, as Cao Cao said: "The period of surplus and contraction is not only in the sky, but also in the day of happiness." According to scientists' research, the views and experiences of traditional Chinese medicine on health and longevity are scientifically based.
