1, the "six sections" of ancient people's health preservation
1, abstinence and nourishing essence.
Essence can be understood as the essence of the body, which is hidden in the five internal organs, so it is said that "the five internal organs store essence without releasing it, so they are full but not real." How can I hide my essence? We know that essence has a very close relationship with God. It can be said that in essence, God is the material basis of God, and God plays a guiding role in essence. Therefore, in order to prevent escape, we must first hide the spirit inside, that is, we are always in an empty state. Of course, it is difficult for modern society to keep the spirit inside, so we should lower our standards, pay attention to abstinence and lust, and don't be too greedy for the enjoyment of physical senses, otherwise it will be difficult to concentrate.
2, save trouble and adjust.
What I said earlier is that arrogance will lead to the leakage of essence instead of hiding it. If a person doesn't chase after debauchery every day, but often gets upset about some trivial things, it will definitely be bad for his health. Although his spirit did not drive away the essence, his worries and sadness made him struggle with the spirit, which was always entangled, which also caused consumption unconsciously, which required us to be more open-minded and reduce the mental burden.
3, anger and liver.
Traditional Chinese medicine attributes all kinds of emotions to the five internal organs, among which anger belongs to the liver. The liver has the function of dispersing qi, that is, it can wash away stagnation. To accomplish this function, its own strength must be concentrated, and obstacles cannot be washed away without gathering strength. What kind of emotion is anger? First of all, something unpleasant happened, which led to poor qi movement. At this time, Qi-qi gathers together and then explodes, thus venting unpleasant emotions. From this perspective, anger is dominated by the liver. However, this is a passive process. Being angry often will damage the liver, which requires us to avoid being angry as much as possible and keep our mood in a peaceful state.
4. Try to support.
Generally speaking, more and more energy is used, and the strength of manual workers is definitely greater than that of mental workers. However, everything is the opposite. After exceeding a peak, the strength will decrease, so people are warned not to exercise or be too tired. However, we should be flexible with this article. The living environment today is very different from that in ancient times. There is little heavy physical labor and people generally lack physical exercise. So this article can't be used as a reason to be lazy.
5. Think about nourishing your heart.
Thinking is a change of consciousness. Thinking around a problem is similar to thinking. The difference is that thinking is aimed at the current problems and thinking is aimed at the future problems. Emotion belongs to the spleen, but the heart and spleen are mother-child relations, which affect each other pathologically and physiologically. Excessive thinking will cause deficiency of both heart and spleen, and symptoms such as palpitation and insomnia will appear. So don't make your mind too tired at ordinary times, it is best to cross your body and mind.
6, worry and nourish the lungs.
People are depressed when they are sad, and obviously feel that their anger is not right. In Chinese medicine, sadness is called relieving anger. At this time, all their anger has subsided and they are no longer alive. The lungs in the five internal organs have the function of converging and descending, which corresponds to the return of qi, so sorrow belongs to the lungs. Long-term sadness will naturally hurt the lungs, and the lungs cannot be dispersed well. Try to avoid this kind of bad mood in your life.
2. Good habits of early health care
1, getting up early and defecating is good for your health.
Around 7 am is the high-speed period of gastrointestinal peristalsis. In fact, this time is not certain. Some people are different because of their biological clocks. The food of the previous day will be digested and absorbed by the human body for one day, forming food residues. At night, the human body's functional metabolism is slow, and toxins and garbage are precipitated overnight. The food residues and toxic garbage that need to be excreted are stored in the large intestine and need to be excreted urgently. If you don't defecate at this time, these things will continue to be absorbed in the large intestine, and toxins and the like may be reabsorbed into the blood, which is not good for your health. The water in the residue will be further absorbed by the large intestine, resulting in dry stool and easy constipation. So getting up early and defecating is good for your health.
If you don't have this habit, don't worry. It's not too late to cultivate this habit slowly. For example, eat more high-fiber foods, such as coarse grains such as cabbage and sweet potato, and go to the toilet if you can't get up in the morning. Over time, habits will become natural.
It is a good habit to get up slowly in the morning.
Because many office workers get up on time, and it's really too late to get confused, but Chinese medicine tells you it's best not to get up suddenly, which will make blood rush up, cause sudden changes in blood pressure and cause dizziness and other symptoms.
A better way is to stay up late after opening your eyes, lie in bed and exercise your limbs and head, and get up after 5 minutes. If you have difficulty getting up, you can do some stretching exercises with your eyes closed, which will be very helpful for waking up. For example, the left and right knees are bent separately and bent to the other side of the body; Hold your chest with both hands and one knee 10 second; Lie on your back, straighten your hands as far back as possible, inhale through your nose, exhale through your mouth, and keep your body still for 5 seconds.
Taking a bath in the morning is a good habit.
Bathing in the morning is not a habit of many people, but it can really promote more vigorous blood circulation, and the clean feeling and the fragrance of bathing itself can adjust the mood and make the spirit more full.
It is a good habit to drink a glass of cold water after waking up.
After a night's sleep, there is little time to drink water, and people are prone to water shortage. At this time, if you can drink a cup of cold boiled water, it is very beneficial to your body, and it can also clean your stomach and relieve constipation.
