🌿 Regulate the liver and nourish blood, Chinese daily care starting from the "sight" world
Traditional Chinese medicine has always said that "the liver opens the eyes", and it is believed that the health of the eyes is closely related to the rise and fall of liver blood. In daily health management, protecting eyesight is not only about preventing myopia, but also a gentle maintenance of the body from the inside out. First of all, we must follow the scientific rhythm of eye use, just like the ancients said that "long viewing damages the blood", so controlling the electronic screen time is the foundation of eye protection. It is recommended that the eyes should not be used continuously for more than 40 minutes at a time. This is consistent with the concept of "Qi and blood circulation" advocated by traditional Chinese medicine to avoid local qi and blood stasis causing loss of vision. At the same time, keep the viewing distance at least 30 centimeters, turn on the blue light filter mode of the device, and adjust the screen brightness to about 1.5 times the ambient light to mediate the stimulation of the eyes by external light. For children and adolescents, recreational screen time should be controlled within 1 hour a day to protect the childish yin and yang of the body and avoid excessive consumption of liver blood.
🍃 The nutritional wisdom of nourishing the five internal organs with food and replenishing brightness with “color”
In the "medicine and food come from the same source" that traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes on health care, reasonable dietary supplements are a safe and gentle health care method. The eye-protecting nutrients that modern nutrition emphasizes coincidentally with traditional health-preserving concepts. Intake 10mg of lutein and 2mg of zeaxanthin every day, which are important and important lines of defense for building the macular area of the retina. These ingredients are very abundant in dark vegetables such as spinach and kale. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, these green vegetables enter the liver meridian and can clean the liver and brighten the eyes. Eat deep-sea fish rich in Omega-3, such as salmon and sardines, 2 to 3 times a week. The nourishing and moistening effects they bring can help relieve dry eyes. In traditional health care concepts, vitamin A supplementation has long been useful. For example, carrots are not the best way to eat them raw. They must be cooked with oil to promote absorption. This is consistent with the traditional Chinese medicine concept of "nourishing water and nourishing wood", which uses nourishing liver and blood to nourish the eyes.
💡Create a "bright hall" to harmonize light and energy to nourish the mind
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, adjusting the light environment of the eyes is actually to regulate the rise and fall of "Yang Qi". When reading, you should ensure that the illumination is within the range of 500 - 1000 lux, and choose a natural light desk lamp with a color temperature of about 4000K. This kind of light is relatively clear, but will not appear dry, and can help to concentrate the mind. Special attention should be paid to the use of electronic devices in a dark environment, because the contrast between light and dark is too great, which will disturb the liver and soul. It is recommended to turn on warm-colored background lights at night to comply with the physiological rhythm of "yang entering yin". The office area is suitable for uniform lighting to prevent strong light from directly shining on the eyes, which is equivalent to avoiding "wind and fire" from invading the boss upward. In lifestyle adjustment, one aspect is indeed indispensable, which is to create a comfortable visual environment by adjusting the lighting. This can effectively reduce visual fatigue.
🧘 Combine movement and stillness to dredge the qi and blood meridians around the eyes
The traditional health care method with many eye protection techniques is similar to the modern "20-20-20" eye protection rule. Every 20 minutes of using your eyes at close range, you should raise your head and stare at an object 6 meters away for 20 seconds. This action is to stretch the eye muscles and regulate qi and blood. You can apply hot compress on the eyes for 5 minutes every hour to control the temperature at about 40°C. Use the heat to warm the meridians, dissipate cold and dehumidify, and relieve muscle spasm around the eyes. Continue to do 10 minutes of eye movement training every day, covering up, down, left, right and circular movements. This is similar to the small exercises in traditional Chinese medicine. It can be used to exercise eye muscles and promote local qi and blood circulation. These methods are safe, gentle and operable. They can also integrate eye protection behaviors into the rhythm of daily life, thereby achieving sustainable visual health maintenance.
📋 It varies from person to person and creates a personalized vision health file
Vision protection requires long-term and continuous comprehensive intervention, and different eye protection plans must be developed based on individual differences. The establishment of scientific health records related to vision is a health management method within the scope of modern science, and it is consistent with the concept of "treating the disease before it is diagnosed" in traditional Chinese medicine. Adolescents are in the stage of growth and development, and their liver and kidney qi are not yet sufficient. They should undergo dilated refraction every six months to focus on controlling the progression of myopia. In adults, intraocular pressure and fundus conditions should be checked every year. Especially young and middle-aged people are under great pressure at work and are prone to "visual fatigue". It is necessary to prevent liver stagnation and qi stagnation from occurring. Specific groups such as those with high myopia and patients with diabetes should increase in-depth examinations such as OCT and regularly monitor the retinal condition, which embodies the traditional Chinese medicine idea of "preventing disease before it becomes worse." Once symptoms such as visual distortion and flashing lights occur, seek medical attention immediately without delay. Different age groups have different protection priorities. Only by combining scientific testing with traditional Chinese health care can we build a solid vision health barrier.
