May 5 this year is the "long summer" solar term among the 24 solar terms, and the "summer" of "long summer" means "big", which means that the plants sown in spring have grown upright. Chinese medicine pays attention to the correspondence between man and nature. After the long summer, people's physiological state will also change. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "summer heat and heart qi are interlinked", "sweat is the heart fluid", and the heart is yang, which governs Yang Qi. Therefore, the focus of health care in the future of Changxia is to nourish the heart. Experts introduce three health care methods for centenarians to help you keep fit.
Centenarians stroll through the flowers, have a rest, and have a smooth blood flow.
After the long summer, with the increase of temperature, the increase of perspiration and the decrease of outdoor activities, the elderly and white-collar workers who often sit for a long time are prone to different degrees of qi stagnation and blood stasis symptoms. How to promote blood circulation and prevent cardiovascular diseases? This is to learn from the centenarians in Rugao, Jiangsu!
Rugao City, Jiangsu Province ranks first among centenarians in China. More than 70% centenarians have the habit of growing flowers. Zhang Ming, chief physician of Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, said that in the long summer, you should go to bed early and get up early, and pay attention to yang, so as to better protect the cardiovascular system. Especially avoid sweating, because excessive sweating will lead to electrolyte disorder and damage the yang in the body. However, not exercising is not good for heart health. What should I do? The coolest time after a long summer is early morning. You might as well get up early in the morning and take a walk among the tree-lined flowers near your residence. Even walking on the balcony where flowers are planted at home can help you rest your mind, help to sublimate the yang in your body, promote blood circulation and enhance metabolism.
Wang Yaoyun's eyes are clear, and a nap is eye-catching.
After the long summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the days are long and the nights are short, and many people will gradually feel that they don't get enough sleep at night. After a busy morning of study and work, the consumption of physical strength and energy can be imagined. Therefore, after the long summer, taking a nap plays a key role in disease prevention and health preservation. One of the organs that benefit the most from a nap is undoubtedly our increasingly overused eyes! Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, is over 100 years old, but he is blind. "Good eyesight and long luck" is an eye-catching skill he usually uses and has been passed down to later generations.
Chinese medicine believes that the heart governs the gods, also known as "the heart hides the gods." "God" in a broad sense refers to the external expression of the whole human life activities, including the image, complexion, eyes, words, reactions and gestures of physical activities. "God" in a narrow sense, that is, the mind dominated by the heart, refers to people's spirit, consciousness and thinking activities. Many readers and friends know that "closing your eyes and resting your mind" is actually nourishing your heart. If you can practice your eyesight at the beginning during a nap, you can not only improve the quality of your nap, but also effectively relieve your visual fatigue, thus improving your work efficiency in the afternoon.
Lu Xian Di Jing, a famous health book in Qing Dynasty, also recorded the micro movement of health care and disease prevention. Xia Chengzhi, director of the Department of Ophthalmology, Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, said that puffiness, also known as edema, mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, but young people should also take precautions in advance. At first, eyeball-like hypertrophy has little effect on vision, but if it is allowed to grow, it will cover the whole pupil at the center of cornea, which will seriously affect vision. Moreover, the longer and bigger the eyeball, the deeper the infringement on the cornea will be. Even if the eyeball is removed, it will leave a scar on the cornea, and it will still be unclear.
The specific method of "moving eyes to remove clouds" is: close your eyes and turn them left and right seven times, then suddenly open your eyes to quickly check the object and realize that there is hot air in your eyes. When you roll your eyes, your mouth and nose will hold your breath for a short time. When you open your eyes, try your best to exhale turbid gas through your mouth and inhale clear gas, 7 times each. From the anatomical point of view, the essence of "shifting eyes to remove nebula" is the self-initiative of the eyes. Through the active movement of the eyes, the nerves in the eyelids can be made smooth, and the blood in the eyes can be improved, so as to eliminate the tension or spasm of the ciliary muscles and the initial nebula.
Comb one's hair for health care "taking five meridians" means that combing one's hair is often black.
After the long summer, many people have extended their working hours during the day. Health experts remind everyone to adjust the work plan and life rhythm in time. Even if you are busy, remember to comb your hair for health care, which can not only relieve the fatigue of the day, but also help to keep your hair black and bright.
Mrs Min, who lives in Zhuang Ni Village, Licheng Town, liyang city, is the oldest birthday girl in Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province. At the age of 20 1 year 1 19, her black hair surprised the audience. According to Changzhou media reports, in fact, she began to have white hair in her sixties. Later, a doctor in the village told her that combing hair can promote blood circulation in the head, accelerate cell metabolism, increase oxygen supply to the scalp and hair, and make hair black and smooth. Therefore, Mrs. Min has developed the habit of combing her hair frequently. She carries a wooden comb with her and combs her hair whenever she has time. She combs her hair 100 times a day, and then her white hair gradually turns into black hair. Coincidentally, 102-year-old Shouxingzhou, who lives in Bajia Village, Wutan Town, Taojiang County, Hunan Province, still has black hair, which also benefits from his habit of combing his hair frequently. He usually combs his hair with a wooden comb when he is free, and combs it 100 times a day.
Dai Qibin, deputy director of the Department of Massage in Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, said that many people have the habit of combing their hair in the morning, but few people comb their hair at night, and even fewer people comb their hair more than 0/00 times a day.
It seems a bit inappropriate for busy people to comb their hair in public places or offices. Dai Qibin teaches you a health care method of combing your hair with your fingers-"taking five meridians". First, the Du meridian in the middle of the head, the bladder meridian and the gallbladder meridian on both sides of the head are respectively pressed with five fingers, and the left and right meridians are added together, which is called "taking five meridians". Comb 3 ~ 5 times a day for at least 3 ~ 5 minutes each time, and it is best to comb 3 times before going to bed at night. Chinese medicine believes that the head is the meeting of all yang, and combing the hair and "taking five meridians" can dredge the acupuncture points on the head, regulate nerve function, enhance secretion activity, improve blood circulation and promote metabolism. Combing your hair often can make your face rosy and refreshed. In addition, it can also prevent and treat insomnia, dizziness, palpitation and stroke. Comb your hair like a centenarian, and health starts from scratch!
