Sun Simiao has always been a god. He is both a doctor and a Taoist priest, and he is the first health preserving master in China! These identities are enough to support his reputation as a "drug king".
Sun Simiao, who pays special attention to keeping in good health, has his own theory. Because of this, Sun Simiao lived for a long time. Although there are many recorded versions, Sun Simiao is at least 100 years old. In ancient times, when the average life expectancy was only forty or fifty years old, it was already at a supernatural level.
It is said that even at the age of 60, Sun Simiao is still as strong as a young man. There is a saying in Sun Simiao Fang: "Less words in the mouth, less things in the heart, less food in the stomach, less natural sleep", with only 16 words, which reveals the real reason for Sun Simiao's longevity.
Talk less: As the saying goes, if you talk too much, you will lose. Cherishing words like gold can not only reduce unnecessary right and wrong, but also be a way of keeping in good health. As the saying goes, "A thousand words are made at sunrise, but staying at sunset will not hurt yourself". If we consume saliva for a long time, it is easy to cause lung qi injury, which is why we sometimes feel thirsty and tired when we talk too much.
Sun Simiao even suggested that even when eating, going to the toilet, walking or lying down, don't talk, even if you talk, you should slow down. We know that meditation in yoga, or meditation between a Buddhist and a Buddhist, is actually aimed at keeping quiet and refreshing, so as to achieve the effect of health preservation.
There are not many in my heart: many people always describe themselves as worried about their lives and thinking too much. Most of such people will be unhappy, depressed and sad. Think like a normal person. How can such a state be healthy? If a person thinks too much, it will hurt the spirit, liver and spleen, and the harm to the body is even more intangible. Therefore, everything is "inseparable", so why bother with much ado about nothing. Less entanglement, less trouble, less anger. When you are in a good mood, your health will inevitably get better.
Eat less in the stomach: it is said that "the disease enters from the mouth", and eating less is definitely better than eating more. Although the living standard has improved, there are more and more health problems caused by eating too well or eating too much. Sun Simiao has always advocated a moderate diet, and eight points is enough. Eating too much will increase the burden on the liver and gastrointestinal tract, even cause damage to other organs of the body and premature aging, and affect the immune function of the human body.
Sleep less naturally: Many lazy people will take a nap or so-called catch-up sleep under the pretext of "recovering their vitality". However, we must know that "long lying down hurts the gas", and too much sleep will affect the recovery of the body.
In fact, Sun Simiao's 16 is better than Zi. If you can "talk less, do less in your heart and eat less in your stomach", you won't consume too much, so you don't have to sleep to replenish energy. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring a certain quality of sleep, it is best not to oversleep.
It is said that Chinese medicine has a history of 5,000 years and is extensive and profound. However, Sun Simiao, our "drug king", taught us profound ways of keeping in good health with only 16 words. Why not?
