Modern society is like a precision instrument. Normal operation requires constant communication and coordination between people from all walks of life and people with various relationships to promote development. Coupled with the fast pace of work and life, people have more and more daily communication and speak faster and faster. However, if people talk too much, they will be in a state of excitement for a long time, with qi and blood rushing up, accelerated metabolism, consumption of lung qi, easy fatigue, shortness of breath and lack of spirit. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it consuming gas and hurting the spirit. Therefore, from the perspective of health care, appropriately slowing down the speed and intonation and talking less can protect and restrain lung qi and save energy for the body.
Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, wrote "Four Xiaoqu": "Less words in your mouth, less things in your heart, less food in your stomach, less sleep naturally", and advocated "Four Xiaoqu" for health preservation. Among them, "talking less" means talking less. He believes that "talking too much leads to less qi", which means that talking too much will damage middle qi, and qi is closely related to essence. So if you talk less, you can accumulate gas and concentrate, and you can enjoy life. Instead, it will make the gas dissipate.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, "work at sunrise and rest at sunset." Combining with modern times, talking less for health preservation has two meanings: one is to speak quietly, and the other is not to speak too fast. Speaking too loudly for too long, consuming lung qi is easy to make the body weak and foreign evils take advantage of it. This is because if you talk too much, your qi and blood will rush upward, and you will always be in a divergent state, so you can't sink or recover, so you often have MUBI when you sleep, and your sleep is unstable. And some people speak quickly and urgently, which is a "loud voice". The voice is loud and seemingly neutral, but in fact there is a crisis lurking. When such people are young, their own spirit is still relatively strong. With the gradual decline of body function, qi deficiency will gradually appear. If you don't pay attention to controlling the voice and speed of speech, it will be harmful to your health in the long run. For example, it is often seen in clinic that liver fire continues to flourish, especially in hot summer, and diseases such as hypertension, bronchiectasis, gastric bleeding, pulmonary hemorrhage and cerebral hemorrhage may occur.
In short, talk less about health preservation, that is, don't let the gas dissipate at will. It is not only a health care method, but also a courtesy in foreign communication, which makes people feel comfortable in interpersonal communication and has little influence on others.
However, it should be noted that talking less about health care does not mean keeping your mouth shut. The daily chat between relatives, friends and colleagues is originally an emotional exchange and emotional catharsis, which is beneficial to physical and mental health. I just suggest that you avoid talking constantly, try to speak in a low voice, and don't speak too fast. In addition, people who talk a lot and have a loud voice should pay more attention to invigorating qi, especially teachers, telephone operators, salespeople, hosts and other professional people.
There are many ways to replenish qi in life: 1. Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath, slowly, inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth, so as to achieve 10 second at a time. 2. Drug supplements. American ginseng honey tea and astragalus honey water can be used as tea substitutes, and ordinary people can also take them daily. Step 3 meditate. Close your eyes and concentrate on it, which can quickly calm people and coordinate their breathing. I suggest that when you talk too much, take some time to meditate, which is also a way to rest. 4. Do more aerobic exercise. Such as Tai Ji Chuan, walking and aerobics. , can tonify kidney and qi, strengthen bones and muscles, and is a good choice for health care. ▲
