As the saying goes, "There are three treasures in the sky: the sun, the moon and the stars; The earth has three treasures of water, fire and wind: people have three treasures of essence, qi and god. " Deficiency of essence, deficiency of qi and fear of spirit are harbingers of disease and aging.
Sun Simiao, a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, once pointed out that "essence, qi and spirit should not be damaged, and damage will hurt life". The ancients said that "the vitality of the spirit will die, and those who are absent will die", which shows that "the vitality of the spirit" is the foundation of human life.
The ancients said that "less desire to nourish essence, less words to nourish qi, less thinking to nourish the spirit".
Lack of desire to nourish essence
Chinese medicine believes that "excessive desire will damage essence." Indulgence not only loses too much semen, but also damages the essence of five internal organs. "Liver essence is not solid, dizziness; Lung essence does not pay, muscle wasting; Kidney essence is not solid, and essence and qi decrease; Spleen essence is not firm, teeth are floating and falling. If the essence really dissipates, the disease will follow, and death will follow. "
Physicians of all ages have advocated that nourishing essence should be the primary task of health preservation. "Jing Lei Shi Sheng" pointed out that "if you want to be vertical, you will be exhausted. Fatigue is inexhaustible, and fatigue is really gone. Covering essence can generate qi, and qi can generate. Therefore, people who are good at keeping in good health must cherish their essence, be full of essence, be full of spirit, be healthy all over and be less sick. Strong spirit, old and strong, are based on essence. "
If you indulge in sex, men will suffer from nocturnal emission, premature ejaculation, impotence, reproductive weakness, and even weakness of the waist and knees, long-term dizziness, tinnitus, palpitations, forgetfulness, insomnia, dreaminess, listlessness and tuberculosis. Women's kidney deficiency and essence deficiency, unstable chong and ren, qi and blood imbalance, metrorrhagia and bleeding, constant leucorrhea, infertility or abortion, premature delivery, and even menstrual insufficiency, amenorrhea, sallow and emaciated, become a disease of strain. Not only that, indulgence will also lead to endocrine disorders, affecting the digestive system and blood circulation system. The ancients called sexual intercourse "the axe of cutting nature", which means that it can cut the human body and make people die or age prematurely. Therefore, abstinence is an important aspect of health care.
Silence nourishes qi
Qi is the most basic substance that constitutes the human body, and it has the characteristics of continuous exercise, maintenance and promotion of human life activities. The basic requirement of nourishing qi is not to talk nonsense. Because tissues and cells in the human body constantly get oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide through metabolism, and alveoli are the main places for gas exchange, oxygen exchanged from alveoli through blood is continuously sent to various tissues and cells in the body. If a person talks endlessly, it will consume lung qi, affect the normal function of respiratory organs, lead to insufficient vitality in the body, and foreign pathogens take advantage of it, causing many diseases. For example, persistent high spirits, yelling and laughing will lead to diseases such as sadness, loss of essence and wandering blood gas.
Rarely think of rest.
Thinking less is to make people stop thinking, so as not to use the brain to excessively affect the normal physiological activities of the cerebral cortex.
"It would produce, don't bother, not bitter. Since the shape of God is safe, where does the disaster come from? " This statement of Chinese medicine is very reasonable. If you think too much, your popularity will stagnate, causing various diseases. There are some sayings in Neijing, such as "thinking hurts the spleen", "thinking leads to qi stagnation" and "thinking too much leads to mental distress". Common symptoms include depression, dizziness, inadequate diet, abdominal distension, and even sallow complexion, fatigue, palpitation and shortness of breath.
Women's heart and spleen are damaged due to excessive thinking, which leads to irregular menstruation and even amenorrhea. Over time, many diseases have appeared, such as neurasthenia, gastrointestinal nerve dysfunction, hypertension, coronary heart disease and even cancer. "mortals can't be without thinking", but there must be a limit. Don't worry about trifles like sesame and mung beans, and don't waste your mind on things outside. Moderate forgetfulness is conducive to "concentration" rather than "distraction".
