In modern terms, it is: why did those people live long and healthy before, and they didn't move slowly; People nowadays are under 50 years old. Why do they look so old and often get sick? Is it because times have changed? Still not human?
The answer is: people who live for a long time have mastered the method of health preservation and put it into practice; Nowadays, people are bohemian, disrespectful, with endless desires, irregular daily life, messy diet, and constantly violating the law of longevity. Naturally, they are weak and cannot live long.
Then, how to live is the "Tao", and can you "live to be a hundred years old"?
The great physicist Einstein once said, "Success = hard work+correct method+less empty talk." To paraphrase this sentence, I think Shouerkang is based on a healthy and scientific lifestyle, guided by the correct concept of health preservation, combined with some small methods of health preservation, and insists on daily activities instead of just talking and not practicing.
102-year-old Deng Lao is still hale and hearty, refreshed, blind and deaf, and sometimes goes out for meetings and lectures. Being able to achieve such a long-term healthy state is closely related to his health-keeping concept and health-keeping methods.
The following are the common health-preserving methods listed by Deng Lao in combination with his own situation, hoping to help you.
Human health includes physical health and mental health. Physical and mental harmony requires us not only to be healthy, but also to have a good mentality, spirit and emotion.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that internal injury of seven emotions is one of the main causes of disease. For example, anger hurts the liver, emotional disharmony, bad mood, anger and mental tension are all enough to hurt the liver, and hypertension may occur with hyperactivity of liver yang. Anxiety, fatigue, spleen injury or excessive sadness, heart and spleen damage, long-term can lead to phlegm disturbance, or heart and spleen dystrophy, qi and blood stagnation and coronary heart disease.
To maintain the mind, we should first pay attention to regulating the seven emotions of joy, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear and shock, which should not be excessive, so as to balance the yin and yang of the whole body and achieve the realm of "keeping healthy qi in the interior and not doing evil", which is the major premise of health preservation and disease prevention.
Nourishing the heart and health care can be carried out from two aspects: first, pay attention to mental and emotional conditioning to avoid the harm of bad emotional factors to the human body; The second is to carry out proper self-regulation exercise to achieve psychological peace and health through physical movements.
"Lingshu Benjing" says that "the health of the wise will also conform to the four seasons and be suitable for cold and summer." In other words, keeping in good health should conform to the laws of natural climate change, arrange daily life, and achieve harmony between man and nature, which is wise.
This is because "when there are four seasons of yin and yang, everything is consistent, and life and death are fundamental." If it is the opposite, it will be disastrous, and if it is followed, it will be difficult. " In other words, if you want to live a long life, you must follow the laws of nature. If you break the law, you will easily get sick and lose your life.
For example, when autumn and winter came, you should have put on more clothes and hid in the house to turn on the heating. At this time, you are not, running around in clothes with bare ankles. The result can be imagined. For example, in hot summer, the sun makes people sweat and lose a lot of water. Not only do you not find a shady place to spend the summer, but you also don't replenish water. You run around like hell, too. How can I not get heatstroke?
In terms of specific life conditioning, the ancients put forward the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer and nourishing yin in autumn and winter". In view of the climate change in the four seasons, some concrete measures are put forward: "Lying in bed and getting up early in the Spring Festival Evening, striding in the court; Lying in the summer night and getting up early are insatiable; Lie in the autumn and get up early, having fun with chickens; Go to bed early and get up late in winter, and be sure to bask in the sun. "If we can sum up these valuable health preserving experiences of the ancients and apply them to our real life, we can naturally enjoy our life.
It is to ask us to pay more attention to the popular science knowledge of some common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases, and help us identify our own health status and carry out prevention and treatment.
For example, hypertension is a common and frequently-occurring disease in contemporary society. Some patients will have clinical manifestations, such as:
Therefore, in this case, we should not be afraid of medical treatment, but recognize the existence of the disease as soon as possible and treat it in time at the initial stage of the disease. If it is terminally ill, of course, there is nothing we can do.
