Physical fitness is restricted by congenital and acquired factors.
French fries, mala Tang, mutton kebabs, dog meat pot? It is delicious food in some people, but it is like "arsenic" in others, which will bring a lot of discomfort to the body. Treatise on Febrile Diseases also said: "Guizhi swallowed, but Yang Sheng killed. When qi enters the stomach, yin will die. " This means that Yang Shengren may be in danger if he takes a hot medicine like Guizhi by mistake. However, people with yin deficiency may take cold medicines such as Dachengqi by mistake, which may also lead to adverse consequences.
Why does the same food or medicine have such a big contrast on different people? Tracing back to the source, it is because of physical differences. So, what is the "constitution"? The so-called "constitution" refers to the physical quality, which refers to the inherent characteristics of the human body that are inherited from nature (referring to parents), influenced by many acquired factors, adapted to the natural and social environment, and relatively stable in function and form. It reflects the particularity of yin-yang movement of human body, which is determined by the ups and downs of viscera and is based on qi and blood.
The formation of physique is the result of the combined action of many complex factors in the internal and external environment of the body, which is mainly related to congenital factors and acquired factors, and to factors such as gender, age and region.
1. congenital factors
Congenital factors play a decisive role in the process of constitution formation. Congenital factors, also known as endowment, refer to all the characteristics inherited from the mother before the child is born. The congenital factors mentioned in TCM include not only the genetic characteristics given by both parents, but also the nutritional status of offspring during the maternal development and the various influences given by the mother during this period. At the same time, the father's vitality, nutritional status, lifestyle and spiritual factors directly affect the quality of the "father essence" and also affect the strength of the offspring's endowment.
However, congenital factors and genetic traits only provide possibilities for the development of physique, and the reality of physical strength depends on the acquired environment, nutrition and physical exercise.
2. Acquired factors
People's physique is not static in life, but constantly changing under the influence of various factors. Good living environment, reasonable diet, daily life and stable psychological mood can enhance physical fitness and improve physical and mental health. Lack of them can lead to physical weakness and even disease. With the continuous improvement of human material life and cultural life, people's requirements for health and longevity have become increasingly urgent. Therefore, how to maintain a person's lifelong physique has become a topic of increasing concern. Improving the conditions for the formation of acquired physique can make up for the deficiency of innate endowment, thus achieving the goal of nourishing nature in the future and defeating the strong with the weak.
Regional environment causes physical differences.
China people's eating habits can be roughly divided into "sweet in the south, salty in the north, spicy in the east and sour in the west". What are the reasons for the different tastes of East, West, North and South? Or climate and environment. The climate is different everywhere, so people have to adjust their daily diet to cope with the unhealthy climate. For example, Guangdong soup is very famous, because Guangdong has summer without winter, and people are like evergreen plants. Only by taking enough nutrition can we maintain the balance of life. In fact, it is precisely because of different environments that different constitutions are created.
As the saying goes, "there is a thing in the soil and water, and the soil and water can support one person." In the place where you live, you must eat local food according to the basic environment and climate of this place, recuperate your body and keep the balance of your constitution. The climate in the north is cold, with little precipitation and relatively dry, so northerners don't like spicy food like southerners, and they can't eat too much pepper, otherwise they will get angry and get acne.
In addition, due to the different climate and geographical location, the food grown in each area is also different. The most obvious thing is that cold fruits, such as bananas and sugar cane, are abundant in hot places, and onions, garlic and green onions are abundant in cold places. This is god's preparation for people, which is completely suitable for the body itself. Then we must accept this gift from nature and choose food according to time and place, so that we can not get sick or get sick less.
It is rainy and humid in Sichuan and Hunan. Cold and dampness belong to six evils, which is a pathogenic factor, so we have to find ways to get rid of cold and dampness in the body. Pepper is pungent and hot, which can dispel cold and dampness and dispel cold and arthralgia. In order to adapt to the cold and wet natural environment, the body will have the desire to eliminate cold and wet, and people show their love for Chili.
Physical fitness changes with age.
As the saying goes, "one year old, one person" makes sense if it is used in people's physique.
Chinese medicine says that children are "pure yang" "Pure" means that children are born with harmony and Yang has not dissipated. "Yang" refers to a child's good physiological vitality, as full of vitality as the rising sun, which is reflected in his liveliness and rapid physiological development. However, the child is delicate and prone to illness, which is just in line with the child's constitution of "more heart and liver, less lungs and spleen". As long as the child gets timely and proper treatment, he will soon recover and be alive again. It can be seen that the child is "dirty and light, and should be dialed at any time." From this perspective, children's physique is full of vitality, but it is immature and fragile, and needs good protection.
With the growth of age, influenced by many factors such as living environment, diet, mood, growth and development, the "body of pure yang" gradually becomes the combination of yin and yang. By the middle and young age, people's physique has become vigorous. At this time, people, full of blood and strong physique, have reached the peak of their lives. It is more appropriate to describe the physical state of young adults with a bowstring and a bright moon. Young people's youthful exuberance is the * * nature of their constitution, which is different from children's "pure yang" and the old people's "yin exuberance and yang decline". Moreover, the physique of young and middle-aged people is easily influenced by the external environment and spiritual factors, so we should pay attention to health preservation, not to be overjoyed and sorrowful, to have a balanced diet, to have a regular life, and to keep the body in a state of strengthening yang and yin.
In the middle-aged and elderly, people's energy, physical strength and vitality are obviously not as good as those in the young and middle-aged period, and their qi and blood are both scarce and impassable. In addition, after entering the middle-aged and elderly people, the organ function will inevitably change, the dirty qi is insufficient, and the physique will also change. Therefore, in the middle-aged and elderly period, we should pay attention to adjusting our daily life, diet and mentality to ensure normal physique and balance between Yin and Yang. You don't have to tonify the kidney and strengthen the yang, no matter how you make it up, you can't be like a young man. Don't eat ginseng and cordyceps today, and supplement lecithin and protein powder tomorrow. Blind supplementation is not good for your health. Food can't be eaten or drunk, not to mention these medicines and health products! It is more important than anything to enter the middle-aged and elderly people and adjust their mood to a peaceful and calm state. This is the real panacea for preventing all diseases.
After understanding the law of physical fitness changing with age, we should also have a new understanding of our physical fitness. Since physical fitness will weaken with age, we should accept this fact with a peaceful mind. Of course, it is very necessary to do some necessary physical and mental health care and maintain a relatively balanced physique.
All male diseases are related to physique.
Women are made of water, which is relatively exquisite, but men are different. They are strong and upright. It seems that when God created man, he had ulterior motives and made men masculine. So women naturally expect more from men: good men don't cry. In fact, men are also very fragile, and their physique is not as good as we thought.
Traditional Chinese medicine divides male physique into three types: cold physique, hot physique and depressed physique. Generally speaking, male diseases are related to their respective constitutions.
1. Cold constitution
Cold constitution includes yang deficiency and phlegm-dampness People with cold constitution have various forms of obesity, such as fatigue, listlessness, sweating, excessive phlegm, long urine, heavy stool, fear of cold, cold limbs and body, and like to eat hot food.
Men with cold constitution are prone to andrology diseases such as frigidity and low libido. Avoid getting cold and damp when adjusting, protect Yang Qi, and take mild medicines and foods such as velvet antler, ginseng and medlar.

Men with hot constitution should have a light diet and avoid frying, frying and spicy things; Avoid spicy, warm and hot products such as velvet antler and whip.

Depression refers to introversion and depression. A man of this constitution has a certain cultural accomplishment, unstable personality, changeable mood and full of doubts. When there are problems in marriage, family, career or social pressure, they are unbearable, depressed and very sensitive, and easily influenced by self-suggestion or others' suggestion.
Depressed constitution, usually sighing, chest tightness, mood swings, irritability, sadness, insomnia and dreaminess. It is prone to sexual dysfunction such as impotence, nocturnal emission, premature ejaculation and non-ejaculation, as well as male diseases such as abnormal breast development, male menopause syndrome and complications after vasectomy.
Rubbing the abdomen and chiropractic can effectively enhance physical fitness.
Whether a person likes to get sick or not and how his physical condition is determined by his constitution. The constitution is divided into grade one and grade two. The innate constitution is given to us by our parents, and we can't change it. The acquired constitution is our own control.
Huangdi Neijing holds that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow. Tonifying the spleen and stomach is the key and prerequisite to improve physical fitness. Besides diet, rubbing the abdomen and chiropractic can also enhance the function of the spleen and stomach.
Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, said in his masterpiece "A Thousand Daughters to Prescription": "Rubbing the abdomen a hundred times can cure all diseases." Rubbing the abdomen is actually a massage to the navel. The "Dantian" near the navel is the engine of the human body and the foundation of vitality. Regular massage of navel can stimulate the qi of meridians of liver and kidney and achieve the purpose of getting rid of diseases. The specific method is as follows:
Rubbing abdomen
Rub your abdomen 30 minutes after each meal, and do it clockwise. Pay attention gently, just drive your skin a little, not too fast, just 30 laps per minute. If you have diarrhea, you should change the direction of rubbing your abdomen and do a counterclockwise massage.
According to Huangdi Neijing, Du Meridian is the intersection of all yang, and it is the channel of vitality for human body to use Du Meridian to promote Yang Qi. We often say "stand up straight" because it can best express people's spirit. Therefore, opening Du meridian can enhance physical fitness and get rid of many diseases. Gross. How to get through? Chiropractic is one of the methods. Chiropractic can regulate the physiological functions of viscera, especially the gastrointestinal function, and enhance the body's resistance, but it needs the help of other family members. The specific operation method is as follows:
Take a prone position, then ask your family to stir the skin on your spine with their thumbs, middle fingers and index fingers, and then gently lift it, starting from Guiwei point and going up to Dazhui point. Do it from bottom to top, one direction, usually pinch 3? 5 times, reddish skin. When massaging your family, you must pay attention to the following points:
Another way to get through the Du meridian is to warm the ridge. This is actually the achievement of yoga. Let me borrow it here. It's simple. Just huddle together and roll on the ground. It's not really rolling, but the spine is stressed, with the head and hips as the two ends, shaking to both sides like a boat. This method is very effective, you can try it. In addition, it works well on the floor, but not on the bed, especially on the mattress.
