However, the fact is that every time people get sick, it will do harm to their health. This kind of harm seems to disappear, but it will bring almost imperceptible losses to the body, such as imbalance between yin and yang.
This invisible and intangible virtual loss is real.
For example, when many elderly patients recall their living habits, there is nothing unhealthy, but doctors will ask them about their living habits when they were young.
Even if some lung cancer patients quit smoking in their later years, they will get lung cancer because they smoke too much when they are young.
Therefore, keeping in good health when you are young is not dispensable, but you really need such awareness.
So how to keep fit?
People's physique can be divided into yin and yang, and so is the human body. The yin and yang of food depends on whether it is warm or cold. If the constitution is yang, eat more negative food, otherwise, eat more positive food.
Generally, yang is nourished in spring and summer, and yin is nourished in autumn and winter. We can judge the cold and heat of food by observing its color.
For example, warm food is mostly warm, and cold food is mostly cold.
Meat is also cold and hot. According to the Yellow Emperor's internal classic "Yin is quiet and Yang is impetuous", those who are still are mostly passive and cold, and those who are restless are mostly hot and warm.
Because ducks live in water all the year round, ancient Chinese medicine records it as cold meat, while pigs are the laziest and the meat is cool.
The main idea of Huangdi Neijing is the balance between yin and yang and the balance between cold and heat.
Everyone should find a diet that suits them according to their own physique.
For example, many girls are afraid of the cold and need to eat iron. Eating more colorful foods, such as carrots, mangoes, pumpkins and sweet potatoes, can improve immunity. If you want to protect your heart, you can eat more purple food such as grapes, red wine, plums and blackberries.
Medicine has three poisons, and health depends on eating.
Besides eating, we should also keep good habits. The eight habits that damage our life span are "greedy for meat, greed for essence, greed for wine, greed for salt, greed for sweetness, greed for hardness, greed for speed and greed for satiety".
In addition, the so-called "eating goods" is actually mostly a bluff.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the process of disease occurrence and development is the process of struggle between good and evil, and each has its own outcome, which is a process of ups and downs of yin and yang.
So real health is to seek a balance, which requires us to change our habits and diet bit by bit.
