"Life lies in exercise" is a famous saying of health preservation. Whether in China or in western countries, exercise has always been a way of keeping in good health advocated by people. However, exercise should be moderate, too much is too late, enough is enough, exercise and keep healthy. The so-called "three-point exercise and seven-point rest" is the truth. Life needs both exercise and rest. Only by combining exercise with rest can our bodies be healthier.

As we all know, some people who have been engaged in artistic or scientific research all their lives, such as writers, painters and scientists, spend most of their lives in retreats. However, many of them live a long life, and some of them are even over 100 years old and still in high spirits. What is the reason? There are also monks, and most of them live long. Obviously, this has a lot to do with their chanting, burning incense, wanting nothing, and meditation.

So do animals. Animals that like to move often don't live as long as those that like to be quiet. As we all know, the tortoise has a slow metabolism and is motionless all the year round, but it is the longest-lived animal on earth. So is the crane. They love to be alone, love to be quiet, and even fly very slowly, but their life span is very long, so there is a saying that "turtles and cranes prolong life."

Don't exercise excessively, otherwise it will bring hidden dangers to your health. As we all know, the life span of athletes is often shorter than that of ordinary people. Why? Because they lack the necessary rest. Since exercise is healthy and static is healthy, what should we do? In fact, whether from a dynamic point of view or a static point of view, exercise is necessary. As long as it is moderate, there is no contradiction between exercise and rest, just as the ancients said: "Exercise is for health, while quietness is for heart."

Movement leads to yang, while quietness leads to yin. Regular exercise can enhance human energy and improve work efficiency; And rest can effectively reduce human consumption, thus playing a role in prolonging life. Being still is not enough, nor is it keeping in good health. The correct method of keeping in good health should be the combination of static and dynamic, combining rigidity with softness.

A flower and a world, a leaf and a bodhi. Because people's health, age, work, hobbies, nationality and so on are different, the exercise methods adopted should also be different from person to person, because no sport in the world is suitable for everyone.

Whether you prefer exercise or rest depends on everyone's specific situation. For people with yang deficiency, exercise should be given priority to, but not too intense; For people with yin deficiency, it is necessary to rest mainly, but it also needs some exercise. Generally speaking, for people with small abdominal circumference and low blood lipid and cholesterol, rest can be given priority to, supplemented by exercise; On the contrary, for people with large abdominal circumference and high blood lipid and cholesterol, it is necessary to give priority to exercise, supplemented by rest.

In a word, life lies in exercise and rest. Only by keeping the balance between the two can we keep healthy. Only by combining exercise with static health can we keep healthy.

Balance life: three-point exercise and seven-point rest, so as to ensure the dynamic and static balance of the body, while exercising, so that the mind can be fully cultivated. The way of life is to relax, exercise and be quiet. Only when the movement is balanced can we keep healthy and thus achieve the purpose of prolonging life.
