How to prevent "five strains and seven injuries"?
Chinese medicine has the saying of "five poisons and seven injuries", which is used to describe people's weakness and disease. What is "five strains and seven injuries"? Let's talk separately.

First, "five pains"

The so-called "five pains" refer to "blood injury caused by long-term vision, gas injury caused by long-term lying, bone injury caused by long-term standing, and muscle injury caused by long-term walking". In traditional Chinese medicine, "long time" is particularly taboo, emphasizing that it can't be excessive, that is, it can't be immoral, and "lewdness" means excessive.

"Long-term blood injury" refers to people who use their eyes for a long time, which is easy to reduce their vision and lead to blood damage. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "there must be one inside and outside", so the damage to the eyes is not simply an eye disease. Traditional Chinese medicine theory holds that the liver governs blood. Because the meridians of the liver are connected with the eyes, people's vision depends on the release of liver qi and the nourishment of liver blood. Excessive eye fatigue will damage the liver, and then affect the regulation of blood, which is "long-term blood injury."

"Lying in bed for a long time hurts the qi" means that people stay in bed for a long time and always lie still, which will lead to mental drowsiness and listlessness, which will lead to disorder of qi. If the qi pulse is blocked, it will hurt the lungs.

"Sedentary injury to meat" means that sedentary people will damage the muscle tissue of the human body, and injury to meat is actually injury to the spleen. In real life, we often see such people who feel tired when sitting, never stand when they can sit, and never sit when they can lie down. Chinese medicine believes that this kind of person's spleen is particularly wet, and this phenomenon occurs because his spleen lacks exercise and has weak transport and transformation function. So don't always sit there in the office and exercise properly, so eating is delicious.

"Standing for a long time hurts the muscles and bones" means that if people always stand still, their bones will be strained because they support their bodies for a long time. Generally speaking, proper standing is beneficial to increase bone density and enhance bone hardness. If the human body does not have certain standing activities and the bones are not stimulated by supporting force, it will lead to osteoporosis. But standing all the time will hurt your bones, in fact, it is hurting your kidneys. Standing for a long time will lead to muscle fatigue supporting bones, leading to developmental deformity and dyskinesia of bones and joints, so there is a saying that "standing for a long time hurts bones".

"Walking for a long time hurts the muscles" means that people will hurt their muscles if they walk for a long time. The main muscle of the liver, hurting the muscle is hurting the liver. If the human body is overworked, excessive exercise will damage the liver.

If the "five pains" develop to the extreme and are difficult to cure for a long time, they will gradually become consumption. Since "five labors" are harmful to physical and mental health, how should we prevent "five labors"?

As long as there is enough physical and mental work. The reason why Chinese medicine is called Chinese medicine actually implies that people should take the middle route. It tells everyone that all diseases are related to too little Otawa, and the degree of mastery is the most critical. If Chinese medicine advocates changing "five pains to recuperate" into "five pains to nourish the body", that is, "nourishing blood according to the vision, lying down to nourish qi, sitting up to nourish meat, walking to nourish tendons, standing up to nourish bones", that is to say, it is necessary to make its body and mind "tired", but it is necessary to grasp the degree.

Second, "Seven Injuries Boxing"

Let's talk about "Seven Injuries Boxing". Huangdi Neijing describes "seven injuries" in this way: overeating hurts the spleen, furious hurts the liver, overworks the house, sedentary wetlands hurts the kidneys, overeating cold drinks hurts the lungs, worrying about lying down is the heart, wind and rain hurt the shape, and fear of hurting the will.

"Overweight hurts the spleen", the spleen hurts and sighs, and I always like to lie down and turn yellow.

"Great anger hurts the liver". People do great harm to the liver when they are in great anger. After liver injury, people's eyes become blurred. Having said so much doesn't mean you can't be angry. After all, holding back can also hurt the liver. How to grasp this is still a matter of degree.

"Excessive housework, sedentary wetlands hurt the kidneys", and "excessive housework" means too much sexual intercourse, which will hurt the kidneys and hurt our vitality. One of the reasons why some animals can live for a long time is that animals have a fixed estrus period and are very temperate in this area. Doing it whenever people want is actually very harmful to people's health. Therefore, everyone must pay attention to this point, especially in autumn and winter, when heaven and earth begin to "collect", we humans should also do what we should collect and hide, which is good for health. What does "settled wetland" mean? In other words, when a person sits for a long time, especially in summer, his ass is sweaty. This is a sedentary wetland, which will also hurt his kidney.

Eating cold drinks hurts the lungs. Many people like to drink cold drinks now, and some people eat cold drinks in winter. This practice is unhealthy and easy to hurt the lungs. Lung injury leads to shortness of breath, and cough and rhinitis follow. Some people will say that foreigners don't get sick if they eat like this. That's because foreigners have different constitutions. Their living environment and eating habits have created their hot and humid physique. They sometimes drink ice water to dissolve the heat in their bodies. But we China people are different, and our diet structure is different from theirs, which also involves the problem of physical fitness, which will be mentioned later.

"Worrying and thinking about sadness", if you worry too much and think about it, it will hurt your heart, and sadness will also hurt your heart.

"The wind blows and the rain blows, and the cold and the heat hurt the body", that is to say, if you don't pay attention to wearing clothes, you will hurt your body. If you are injured, you will lose your hair and your skin will wither. Now some young women only wear stockings in winter, and then put on boots. The appearance looks good, but it is a very unhealthy dressing habit. Over time, you will get sick. Therefore, beauty should be based on health.

"Fear doesn't hurt the will" means being afraid of everything, not knowing how to control it, hurting the will and making people uneasy.
