Huangdi Neijing systematically expounded the theory and method of health preservation for the first time, which not only talked about how to treat diseases, but also talked about how to prevent diseases from food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is very close to our lives.
For example, how to practice qi through breathing, how to maintain health after 40 years old, how to deal with insomnia, which time of day you need to pay special attention to the occurrence of stroke, and how to choose food suitable for nourishing viscera according to your own situation. ......
We have all heard the phrase "life lies in exercise", especially when we are sick, many people will think about strengthening physical exercise, which will make our body recover faster, but this is not the case for patients with liver disease. The liver governs the storage of blood. "When people are exercising, blood flows in the meridians; when people are at rest, blood belongs to the liver". Rest for patients with liver disease is more important than strenuous exercise.
2. Life is not chaotic
In people's impression, Huangdi Neijing is just a medical book for curing diseases and preserving health, but it is not. It also includes astronomy, geography, calendar, phonology, phenology, meteorology, philosophy, psychology, sociology and so on. It is an encyclopedia around "life".
For example, Huangdi Neijing says that "saints nourish yang in spring and summer and yin in autumn and winter". In one's life, one should strive to prance, be energetic and increase one's knowledge in adolescence, instead of indulging in eating, drinking and having fun and wasting one's youth; You should be able to calm down when you are old. Don't act impulsively when things happen. Some light should be collected.
Huangdi Neijing says that health care should be based on yin and yang, and so is family life. Only by properly handling the relationship between different levels can we achieve a state of "neutralization" and family harmony. For example, between husband and wife, if husband and wife are equally strong, there will inevitably be many quarrels. At this time, if one side shows a slight weakness, it may be able to resolve the situation of confrontation.
