China has a long history and profound culture, including religious culture. China's 5,000-year history has finally established three major religions-Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. The three religions developed side by side, competing to shine brilliantly, which had a great influence on China people's thoughts. For Buddhism, the world often thinks of monks and nuns, while for Taoism, the world often thinks of monks and nuns, but people who have seen monks and Taoists in TV dramas often have a strange feeling-why are ancient Taoists all thin and monks all fat?

First, let's see the Taoist priest. Taoist people generally pursue immortality, so they will pay attention to health preservation. How to maintain health? Taoism has formed its own set of theories during its development.

As far as diet is concerned, Taoist priests will pay attention to their food intake and often deliberately go on a diet to ensure that they will not overeat and affect the digestive system of the body. An important way for Taoist priests to pursue immortality is alchemy. Some pills have the effect of making people anorexia. In this way, it is naturally difficult for Taoist priests to become big fat people.

At the same time, in addition to alchemy, Taoist priests often pay great attention to exercise in order to have a healthy body, which is naturally related to seeking immortality. In addition, in his spare time, Taoist priests like to travel around the world, practice everywhere and travel long distances. Coupled with the unknown living environment, Taoist priests will naturally not get fat.

Let's look at the monks. Monks generally need to practice Zen in temples. It's hard to see them in the street except for begging. In this way, their exercise is greatly reduced. However, monks are not idle all day. Their favorite things to do at ordinary times are meditation and meditation. Monks hope that they can abandon all secular ideas, wander in an undisturbed world, explore the truth of the world and feel the logic of everything.

Although in this way, monks are often indifferent and difficult to be disturbed by the secular, which is very helpful for their growth. However, such people often eat a lot when they are in a good mood. At the same time, because monks don't eat meat for a long time and their fat intake is not enough, they naturally need too much rice to satisfy their hunger. Turns out to be fat.

At the same time, long-term meditation and meditation make it difficult for them to have time and opportunities to exercise. Although I usually do some work such as cleaning and carrying water in the temple, these jobs only have a certain exercise effect and have little effect. Long-term sedentary, overeating, monk's fat stool is understandable.

Therefore, if you want to lose weight, you can learn from the Taoist regimen, pay attention to a balanced diet and exercise regularly.
