At a party, a new friend listened to me and asked me with a smile, are you going to do this after retirement? I said of course, and then I told her what I thought. After listening, she said that she would definitely support me as soon as possible. She said that her health would be left to me after retirement.
I smiled and said, "Why wait until I retire? I have begun to study and try in my spare time now. If you like, you can often come to my home in HarmonyOS to be a' white mouse'. "
"Of course! I will go often, as long as you are not bored. "
"Ha ha, you are a psychologist, I welcome all too late also dare to abandon? I think we can form a strong alliance after retirement. At that time, the physical problems will be mine, and the psychological problems will be yours. We can go hand in hand on the road of aging and become an old man who is harmonious and healthy in body and mind, contented, self-help and pleasing others. Is this good? "
The friend clapped his hands and said, "Great!" It's a deal, don't go back on your word! "She is a senior psychologist in the island city.
The following are my immature ideas and practices, hoping to bring some enlightenment to elderly friends with the same interests and hobbies, and welcome criticism and correction.
In the era of internet plus, if you want to learn, there are many channels and platforms. Of course, the Internet is also a mixture of good and evil people, and we also need to distinguish it with wisdom.
Recently, I chose to study Mr. Guohua's course, which was launched by a book platform. Mr. Guohua is an expert in Chinese and Western medicine health preservation, an associate researcher of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a national first-class skin care formulator and massage masseur, a dermatologist and deputy chief physician of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and a master of integrated Chinese and Western medicine in Tsinghua University and Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The courses she launched on the book platform are very popular, and the number of people watching the courses online is close to 50 thousand.
Of course, I'm not advertising for her. I just think her class is easy to understand, and most people can understand it. At least, it is very suitable for me who wants to study Chinese medicine, but I am a Chinese medicine doctor.
Her class pays special attention to the combination of theory and practice. In addition to the easy-to-understand theory of traditional Chinese medicine, she also introduced many simple daily health care methods, which are very practical. She also introduced many traditional dietotherapy methods for different constitutions in ancient medical books.
After listening to some of her free classes, I bought her courses and joined her traditional health training camp. Not only did I learn it myself, but I also pushed it to my mother. Because of this course, family and friends can learn online for free with 10 people at the same time.
For example, in the last class, Teacher Guohua introduced two kinds of medicated soup for people with yin deficiency constitution.
Teacher Guohua said that Huangdi Neijing pointed out that "yin deficiency causes internal heat". The typical manifestations of yin deficiency can be summarized in 20 words, namely, five annoyances and fever, impatience and irritability, hot flashes and night sweats, dry mouth and throat, and red tongue with little fur.
The first soup: pigskin soup.
Teacher Guohua said that this soup comes from ancient medical books and the practice of ancient Chinese medicine cafes.
Wang Mengying, a physician in Qing Dynasty, saw the blacksmith strike while the iron was hot, and the ambient temperature was very high, but he said it was extremely hot. How can we quench their thirst without getting angry?
Wang Mengying found through observation that blacksmiths often drink pork soup. They boiled water with lean pork and then heated it a little. When you are thirsty, put it in a bowl, blow off the oil and drink only clear soup, so most blacksmiths are not damaged by the abnormal environment.
Wang Mengying got inspiration from it and summed up the characteristics of nourishing yin in pork through practice. He said: "Pork nourishes kidney, supplements gastric juice, nourishes liver and yin, moistens skin and quenches thirst."
Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage in the Han Dynasty, founded pigskin soup, which also originated from this.
Teacher Guohua suggested that we stew pork and pigskin together, saying that it can enhance the effect of nourishing yin. Because the protein content of pigskin is 2.5 times that of pork, and more than 90% of pigskin is macromolecular collagen and elastin, the content can be comparable to that of bear's paw. Rich collagen can also restore the water storage function of human cells, thus moisturizing the skin, reducing wrinkles and resisting aging.
In fact, the method is very simple, that is, use appropriate amount of pork and pigskin, add tofu, lotus root and cored lotus seeds, stew together for more than 2 hours, and add appropriate amount of salt to taste. This formula can also be used to make pigskin jelly in autumn and winter.
The second soup: old duck soup
This soup also comes from Wang Mengying's Resting Diet Spectrum: Duck nourishes the yin of the five internal organs, clears the heat of fatigue, nourishes the stomach and produces fluid.
In fact, people have long known that old duck soup is the most ideal tonic, especially suitable for yin deficiency constitution.
Teacher Guohua said that there were many dishes with duck meat in Emperor Qianlong's dining records, almost every day. Emperor Qianlong lived to be 89 years old and was the longest-lived emperor. This is inseparable from his emphasis on diet and aftercare.
So, how to stew a delicious old duck soup with enhanced efficacy?
Teacher Guohua suggested-
9 grams of Radix Glehniae for nourishing yin and clearing lung, 9 grams of Radix Ophiopogonis for nourishing yin and promoting fluid production, 9 grams of Fructus Lycii for nourishing liver and kidney, 9 grams of Dendrobium for nourishing yin and nourishing stomach, and a proper amount of Dictyophora are added to stew the old duck soup. Or stewed lotus root and old duck soup. 2-3 times a week.
Be careful not to eat too much spicy roast duck.
Of course, you should also prepare your favorite, practical and healthy cookware. Apart from traditional casserole, iron pot and braised pot, I don't exclude intelligent braised pot appliances.
For example, electric stew is very practical, especially suitable for office workers. I bought Supor automatic electric cooker not long ago.
