Meridian health
Meridian is a "network" system all over the human body, which controls the flow of qi and blood and ensures the normal function of various tissue systems. Huangdi Neijing says that meridians have the functions of deciding life and death, treating all diseases and regulating excess and deficiency. Ancient health care experts believe that dredging meridians can be an important measure of health care, and the simplest method is stimulation, massage and acupuncture at three important acupoints, namely Hegu, Neiguan and Zusanli.
Hegu point can prevent and treat facial diseases, Neiguan point is helpful to prevent and treat heart diseases, and Zusanli point is the most effective to prevent visceral diseases, especially digestive system diseases.
have a healthy diet
The ancients believed that a reasonable diet can regulate essence, correct the deviation of yin and yang of viscera, prevent diseases and prolong life. Therefore, we should not only pay attention to "abundant food", that is, "five grains for nourishment, five fruits for help, five livestock for benefit, and five vegetables for filling", but also pay attention to the harmony of five flavors, otherwise it will cause diseases due to unbalanced nutrition, biased physique and dysfunction of five internal organs.
Homeopathic health
The ancients believed that there were four seasons of climate change in the sky, and everything on the ground was born, grown, collected and hidden, and the human body was no exception. Therefore, the ancients put forward the method of timely health preservation from the aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation. The operation of human internal organs, yin and yang, qi and blood must adapt to the four seasons, and can't do the opposite.
Adjusting one's life behavior in time is helpful to keep fit and prevent diseases. Otherwise, it is easy to hurt the liver, the heart, the lungs and the kidneys against the spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Weakening health care
The ancients believed that if a person was moody, it would lead to the imbalance of Yin, Yang and Qi in the body. Fatigue can damage temper, while diet can lead to dampness, heat and phlegm. If you have sinned against six evils, there will be many diseases besides injuries. This pathogenic factor is regarded as "poison" by the human body, so "attenuation" is proposed to preserve the true qi.
By taking measures such as diet conditioning and taking drugs, we can reduce the accumulated poisons in the body, avoid diseases, prevent premature aging and prolong life.
Shen Jing healthy
Calm spirit plays an important role in traditional health preservation. The ancients believed that God was the master of life activities. Keeping the mind quiet and calm can keep vitality, make the five internal organs calm, help prevent diseases, improve health and prolong life.
On the other hand, anger hurts the liver, likes sadness, grieves the lungs, fears kidney damage, and even induces various physical and mental diseases.
Through self-reflection, to achieve the perfect realm of body and mind
The ancients believed that anyone who pursues health and longevity should first start with self-cultivation. On weekdays, we should eliminate all kinds of delusions, say more good words and do more good deeds.
Meng, an ancient physician, said: "If you can protect yourself and nourish your feelings, you must always keep your word" and "If you have good words, you must do good deeds". Sun Simiao said: "I am really thinking about this matter, and I am prepared to worry about it." Cultivating good conduct and often doing things beneficial to others can make you open-minded and happy.
Regulating qi and keeping healthy
The ancients believed that the vitality of human body has the functions of metaplasia, strengthening qi and blood, warming and nourishing whole body tissues, resisting evil spirits and enhancing the function of viscera. Many factors, such as unbalanced nutrition, improper work and rest, emotional disorder, and invasion of pathogenic factors, can all lead to symptoms such as yuan-qi deficiency, stagnation, stagnation and inversion, and then cause pathological changes of the body.
The method of regulating qi and keeping in good health advocates a series of measures, such as careful living, adapting to the four seasons, avoiding overwork, preventing too much sex, regulating diet, reconciling five flavors, regulating seven emotions, saving words, learning to breathe and guiding, to regulate vitality, eliminate diseases and prolong life.
Nourish health
Traditional medicine highly advocates the use of tonic drugs to regulate yin and yang, nourish viscera and nourish essence and blood. Reasonable tonic can strengthen the body and prevent and treat diseases. However, tonic should be dialectical and moderate, and we should also consider adapting to the four seasons. When taking tonic, it is more suitable in autumn if lung medicine is inserted; If it is warming, winter is more suitable.
Gu Jing medical care
The ancients believed that Xue Jing was the essence of human nutrients and the material basis of life. Only with the support of Xue Jing can the five zang-organs maintain their normal functions. If sexual desire is unbridled and excessive blood loss occurs, it will cause physical weakness, pathological changes and loss of life. Maintaining silence can delay aging.
Food eaten in cold and dew season
Soybean. Chinese medicine believes that soybean has the functions of invigorating spleen, moistening dryness, promoting diuresis, clearing away heat and toxic materials, and benefiting qi. Often cooked in soup with pork trotters and ribs, it can play a very good nourishing role. Moreover, the weather is dry in autumn, and you should drink more pulp foods that can supplement human body fluids, such as soybean milk, so you should choose high-protein soy products when buying.
Yali Yali is rich in B vitamins, which can protect the heart, reduce fatigue, enhance myocardial vitality and lower blood pressure. In addition, autumn is especially suitable for eating Yali pear, which contains sugar, tannic acid and other ingredients, which can eliminate phlegm and relieve cough and maintain the throat.
Beef. Beef is rich in protein, fat, vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus and iron. Eating beef often can replenish the middle energizer, nourish the spleen and stomach and strengthen the bones and muscles. It is especially suitable for people with qi stagnation, shortness of breath, weakness of muscles and bones, anemia and long illness, and yellow complexion.
White radish. In autumn, people are prone to cough, asthma, gastrointestinal discomfort, dizziness, chest tightness, palpitation and other symptoms. White radish has the effect of clearing heat and resolving phlegm, and it can quench thirst and clear fire when eaten raw. Cooked food can help digestion and strengthen the spleen.
The "magic power" that should be practiced in the cold dew season
Many friends are afraid of cold in winter, and their hands and feet are easy to catch cold. Miro, president of China Healthy Yoga Association, said that if you start practicing "fingering" after cold dew, these conditions will be improved.
Finger flick is simple. You can buckle your middle finger with your thumb and pop it out at noon every day. Repeat 100 times. Of course, you don't have to be limited to a hundred times. The more times, the better. Play whenever you have time. The fingertip of the middle finger is the starting point of pericardium meridian and the protective wall of the heart. After the cold dew, the qi and blood of the human body begin to flow into the pericardium, so playing the middle finger often can promote the circulation of qi and blood and improve the body's ability to keep out the cold, so it is not easy to get cold hands and feet.
