Four health preserving methods help you spend your summer safely.

Traditional medicine believes that keeping in good health in summer focuses on nourishing the heart. Huangdi Neijing, a classic of traditional Chinese medicine, thinks that the way to nourish the heart is to be indifferent and quiet, and to hide the spirit in it, and puts forward the health care concepts of being tired and tireless, being comfortable and not afraid, being virtuous but not dangerous, being idle and not wanting.
Tired and tireless, hot weather in summer is easy to make people tired, so we emphasize that physical and mental work should not be overworked or overworked. Huangdi Neijing advocates that the combination of work and rest is an important link to maintain health and longevity. We should not only adhere to moderate work and rest and exercise, so that the human body can be full of qi and blood, full of pulse and vital energy, but also know how to rest, realize the importance of "escape", make the body strong, and then get rid of illness and prolong life. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, "Wuqinxi", "Tai Ji Chuan" and "Baduanjin" can all be used as exercise and fitness methods in summer.
Peace of mind and fearlessness Chinese medicine emphasizes "nourishing the heart in summer" because the weather is sultry and people's emotions are easily agitated, so attention should be paid to preventing emotional diseases. Huangdi Neijing pointed out that any emotional activity is based on the essence of the five internal organs, and bad mental stimulation and excessive emotional changes are very harmful to the healthy qi of the human body. Anger hurts the liver, likes sadness, misses the spleen, and fears the lungs and kidneys. It can be seen that emotional disorder can affect the five internal organs, although each has its own injuries, but it is nothing more than causing qi disorder, leading to qi disorder, which in turn leads to various diseases, that is, "all diseases are born of qi." Therefore, people should try to reduce or avoid bad mental stimulation, prevent excessive emotional changes, and maintain an open-minded and optimistic mood. Of course, people are emotional animals, and emotional changes and bad mental stimulation are inevitable. It is important to know how to detect and adjust yourself in time, so as to "feel at ease without fear".
Morally complete but not dangerous. The opening of Huangdi Neijing said: "Morality is complete, life is prolonged without praying for life, and happiness is achieved without seeking happiness; Morality is incomplete, even if you eat the jade liquid elixir, you will not live long. " In the concept of modern people, morality is only a person's cultivation standard, in fact, morality is also the basis of a person's health and longevity. As the saying goes, virtue leads to longevity, virtue leads to longevity, happiness and position. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that self-cultivation has an internal relationship with the coordination of yin and yang of zang-fu organs, which has an important impact on people's health and longevity. The sentence is magnanimous, a petty man is anxious and worried.. ",a man with moral cultivation is proud of his dedication, does not harm the interests of others, does not care about everything, and is more likely to live a long and healthy life. It can be seen that paying equal attention to moral cultivation and health preservation can lead to longevity.
Modern people, who are idle, have no desire or desire, often attach too much importance to fame and fortune, fall into the spiritual shackles of fame and fortune, are disturbed by things and cannot extricate themselves, their thoughts are not free, their spirits are sluggish, and then they lose their health. Huangdi Neijing emphasizes "leisure and less desire", that is, health care should be able to control drastic emotional changes and avoid great joy and great sorrow; At the same time, we should reduce our desires and let go of our excessive pursuit of fame and fortune. Therefore, in the process of health preservation, we should pay attention to respecting people's innate emotions and desires, neither letting go nor suppressing them, and giving them whatever they want; When you are selfish, quiet, open-minded, not greedy and not mercenary, you can be refreshed, physically and mentally relaxed, healthy and live a long life.
