Since ancient times, many people have devoted themselves to the research of human health and longevity, and Chinese medicine has also made many achievements in the research of health care. The purpose of TCM nutrition and health care is not only to treat diseases and prevent diseases. From a deeper level, it is to keep the human body in the best or even extraordinary state with a natural diet.

The characteristics of tonifying deficiency and purging excess in food performance can best reflect the essence of TCM nutrition. Feed and replenish qi, nourish blood and replenish essence; Diarrhea can relieve exterior syndrome, purging fire and purging poison. Medicinal diet is not a food containing drugs, but a natural food with similar drug effects, which is harmless to human body. The combination of medicine and diet reflects the fundamental changes in people's diet structure and habits. In the past, only color, taste, fragrance and shape were paid attention to, which was not comprehensive, and "quality" was added, which was rich in nutrition and had health care functions.

If you want to live a long life, your stomach will be clear; Don't be partial to food, don't complain about food, and eat omnivores. Eat omnivores, eat at least 30 kinds of foods every day, and eat breakfast seriously; Have enough stool every day, preferably twice. To this end, eat more foods rich in fiber, drink more boiled water, and drink at least 8 cups of plain boiled water every day. Old people go to bed early and get up early, and sleep sporadically. They should let nature take its course and sleep whenever they are sleepy. Bite your teeth tightly when you urinate, and don't make any noise, which can make your teeth firm. As long as you persist for a long time, troubles such as poor urination will be alleviated or even disappeared; People are old before their feet, and there are more than 20 acupoints on the soles of their feet. It is a good way to keep stimulating, and it is a good way to walk 1 hour every day. No matter what season, you should stick to hot water 15 minutes before going to bed. One or two traditional Chinese medicines of rhubarb can be broken, wrapped in gauze, boiled for 15 minutes, and then taken with this water, which has the functions of diminishing inflammation, sterilizing, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

Health care should be sooner rather than later. Health preservation is not the knowledge of providing for the aged. People's aging has already begun before the arrival of old age, so we should carry out health and longevity activities in many aspects of life as soon as possible. Dietary factors play an important role in health and longevity activities, which can be said to be the material basis of people.
