Keep in good health

summary

In recent years, the heat of health preservation in traditional Chinese medicine continues to heat up. People follow TV and books to learn how to eat, exercise and prevent diseases enthusiastically. Few people can make clear what the essentials of health preservation are. In fact, TCM regimen is not as simple as several prescriptions, herbs and acupoints. Its broad and profound connotation can be summed up in six words: Shun, Jing, Xiu, Tiao, bu and Gu. If you really understand and achieve these points, longevity is not far away from you.

Keep in good health

First: "Shun" -- keeping in good health follows the season. The ancients believed that the change of human body is consistent with the cycle of the four seasons, so the daily life, clothing, food, housing and transportation must be suitable for the seasons. "The Yellow Emperor's Canon of internal medicine" says: "in accordance with heaven, the time and the place are favorable." The "time" here refers to the four seasons of yin and Yang. Specifically speaking, it means nourishing yang in spring and summer and nourishing Yin in autumn and winter. Health preservation in four seasons should conform to the characteristics of health, growth, harvest and storage. In spring, all things grow and develop, so we should nourish the liver and Yang; in summer, we should nourish the heart, go to bed late and get up early, and sweat when we need to be less angry; in midsummer, we should pay attention to nourishing the spleen and removing dampness when it is hot and wet; in autumn, we should nourish the lung and Yin, lie early and get up early, or we will hurt the lung; in winter, we should pay attention to nourishing the kidney and Yin, bask in the sun, and go to bed early and go to bed late I'm sorry.

Second: quiet - let the heart calm down. Modern people like to live in a bustling life. Every day is full of time for fear of loneliness and loneliness. In fact, this impetuous life is extremely harmful to health. "The Yellow Emperor's Canon of internal medicine" said: "tranquil nihility, true Qi from it, the spirit of internal defense, disease and safety has never been." When people are quiet, they can reduce a lot of unnecessary consumption, especially the consumption of "Qi", so that the body can "save energy", so as to prevent diseases and prolong life. We might as well slow down the pace of life and adopt the way of sitting quietly and closing our eyes to cultivate our health and mind.

Third: "cultivation" -- cultivate one's morality and do good deeds with less trouble. In the book of changes, it is said that "a good family must have a happy ending; a bad family must have a disastrous ending." In fact, people who are usually good-natured and open-minded tend to live in harmony with the world, reduce a lot of troubles and feel happy. It can be seen that self-cultivation, leniency, indifferent to fame and wealth, good to others, their harvest will be health, happiness and longevity.

"Tune" - do more deep breathing. People will inevitably encounter many adverse factors, such as nutritional imbalance, overwork, disease, etc. at this time, the word "Diao" will be used. According to Huangdi's Canon of internal medicine, we should take care of the spirit and will, seven emotions and six desires according to the changes of the four seasons.
