1, TCM health preservation has its unique theoretical system, which emphasizes "correspondence between man and nature" and "unity of form and spirit". "The correspondence between man and nature" means that if human beings want to achieve their own balance in the natural system, they must first conform to the laws of nature. Adapting to climate change in four seasons is an important part of health care. "Unity of form and spirit" mainly shows the unity of opposites between psychology and physiology. In other words, we should not only pay attention to the maintenance of the body, but also pay attention to the cultivation of the spirit, so as to effectively enhance physical fitness and promote health.
2. The theory of TCM health care holds that health care must maintain a harmonious and moderate purpose and run through daily life. For example, emotional appeal, moderate diet, abstinence and perseverance all reflect this idea.
3. TCM advocates that health care should be coordinated by people, time and place. According to different objects, methods such as dietotherapy, medicinal tonic, qigong and massage are used respectively to obtain the best health care effect.
Traditional Chinese medicine health preservation requires that people's body can always be in a complete dynamic balance state (that is, healthy and disease-free), and have the ability to adapt to the external environment and self-regulate emotions; We should pay attention to the adjustment of living and working environment, the coordination of diet and nutrition, the moderate combination of work and rest, the harmony between emotion and moral cultivation, and the harmony between exercise and fitness, prevention and treatment.

Since ancient times, people have called the theory and method of TCM health preservation "the way of health preservation".
After long-term use and continuous enrichment, future generations have developed the content of health care into nourishing, health care, self-cultivation and health protection. The main content of prolonging life for the elderly is derived from longevity, biological, pension and longevity, which basically embodies the main outline of health care.
