Self-discipline mentioned in TCM refers to all kinds of physiological activities and behavioral activities of the human body, which should be controlled according to their own laws and the principle of "harmony between man and nature", and should not be excessive or ignored. Specifically, it is necessary to adhere to the regular work and rest, follow the diet rules, maintain a good attitude, and make the body function reach a balanced state, so as to achieve the goal of health and longevity.

Self-discipline has an important influence on human body, especially on the regulation and balance of endocrine, immune, nervous and circulatory systems. In addition, self-discipline can also affect people's mood and decision-making ability, make people more organized and self-controlled, and make it easier to realize personal values and pursue dreams.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that the basic principle of health preservation is to adhere to self-discipline, and every lifestyle should be moderate. First of all, we should pay attention to the law of work and rest to ensure adequate sleep and rest. Secondly, give priority to a light diet, regularly detoxify and maintain normal intestinal flora. It is also necessary to rationally arrange a lifestyle that combines work and rest to avoid excessive fatigue and psychological stress. At the same time, the only way to cultivate self-discipline is to balance the diet structure, adhere to moderate exercise, and maintain a good attitude and a positive attitude towards life.
