Why do you say "seven women and eight men"?
"Eight men and seven women" originated from the first article of Huangdi Neijing, which is a statement about the growth cycle of men and women in the field of traditional Chinese medicine: that is, the growth cycle of men is 8, that is, there is a growth change every 8 years, such as the corresponding ages of men are 8 years old, 16 years old, 24 years old and 32 years old. The life cycle number of women is 7, which reflects a big change every 7 years, such as 7 years old, 14 years old, 2 1 year old, 28 years old ... This is considered as a very basic knowledge in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.

Therefore, people can adjust nutrition, health care and health preservation according to the physical changes of different ages, so that the body can grow and change better according to the laws of nature. 28 years old and 32 years old are the peak ages for women and men respectively, but if you don't pay attention at this time, you may fall into the root cause for life.

Specifically, 17-year-old women began to have strong kidney qi, changed their teeth and grew their hair faster; At 27 o'clock, Ren Maitong was too impulsive, and she began to have menstruation and was able to get pregnant and give birth. On March 7th, the kidney-qi balance was stable and the development was basically completed. At four or seven o'clock, the bones and muscles are the strongest, the hair grows to the extreme, and the body reaches its peak; At five or seven o'clock, my face began to haggard and my hair began to fall off; At six or seven o'clock, the Sanyang pulse began to decline, with a haggard face and gray hair; On July 7, the pulse was weak, too impulsive and weak, and she entered menopause. Therefore, it is generally believed that 28 years old is the best age for women to have children.

Compared with women, men are slightly "late ripening". When male 18, kidney qi began to enrich, hair flourished and teeth changed; At 28 o'clock, the kidney is full, the weather is full, and there is fertility; At the age of 38, the kidney is peaceful and balanced, and the height reaches the limit; At four or eight o'clock, the bones and muscles are strong, the muscles are strong, and the vitality reaches the extreme; At five or eight o'clock, the kidney qi began to drop and the hair fell off; At 6: 00 or 8: 00, the three yang meridians of the head and face declined, and the face was haggard and the hair was gray; At 7: 00 or 8: 00, the liver qi decreased, the muscles and veins were slow, the movement was inconvenient, and the essence was insufficient; Eight, eight-year-old teeth, hair loss, no reproductive capacity. Men will lose their teeth at the age of 8864. Teeth refer to teeth, and hair refers to hair, because teeth are the flower of kidney, which is dominated by kidney qi. "Tooth hair is gone" means that the convergence and hair growth of the human body are gone, and teeth and hair begin to fall off.

The best age for a man is 32. Pay attention to health care after the age of 40, especially tonifying kidney and strengthening yang. So the best age for a man is 32.

To sum up, according to the traditional theory of "eight men and seven women", 48 men and 47 women can be regarded as a watershed in a person's life, which is of milestone significance. The health of people in the next life may depend on the degree of maintenance and care at this time.
