Recently, I had a friend who had only recovered from a cold for a few days and went to the hospital again due to gastrointestinal problems.
He complained to me that he was getting more and more delicate now and had to take medicine and injections every now and then.
I asked him, when he just started to feel a little uncomfortable, did he drink a bowl of ginger soup or cook some porridge to recuperate his body?
He was stunned for a moment and said he had never thought of this before.
In fact, this is the case for many people. Once their body has a slight condition, their first reaction is to look for medicine and go to the hospital. However, they put aside the most essential health-preserving wisdom passed down from their ancestors.
Many truths that have been passed down for thousands of years are not old and outdated things, but real life experiences. Fully understanding and mastering these principles can indeed reduce many unnecessary twists and turns.
Eat first, take medicine later, don’t attack as soon as you get started
In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, there is such a saying, which seems particularly reasonable when we look at it now: As a gentleman, if you are suffering from a disease, you will hope to treat it with the help of dietary therapy first. If the disease is not cured through dietary therapy, you will use drugs later.
This was said by Bian Que, and it means that when a person just feels a little uncomfortable, don't rush to use strong drugs to overcome it, but focus on adjusting your meals first, and then straighten out your work and rest.
Many times, minor health problems are caused by eating incorrectly or not sleeping well.
For example, if you get angry, eating some light radish and cabbage is more appropriate than taking anti-inflammatory drugs.
Food can nourish and regulate people. It can calm yin and yang and soothe the internal organs.
Only when you have adjusted your diet and are still not feeling better, it is not too late to start taking medication.
Nowadays, many people behave contrary to common sense. Once they get sick, they fully expect medicine to cure the disease quickly. However, they do not know that while medicines are removing evil spirits, they will also damage righteousness.
Letting the body slowly recover through food is the great wisdom of following nature.
Don't just sit and lie down all the time. Move and your Qi will flow smoothly.
Mr. Hua Tuo once said, If shaken, the grain energy will disappear, the blood vessels will flow, and diseases will not occur. .
Today, these words are simply tailor-made for sedentary people.
Look at how many people are sitting there all day long when they go to work, and when they get home and just slump on the sofa, can their qi and blood flow smoothly?
The food you eat cannot be digested. As time goes by, various problems will come to your door.
In fact, health care is not that complicated. It does not mean that you have to develop eight-pack abs for it to be called exercise.
Take the time to walk every day, stretch your arms, and twist your waist to make the body "shake". In this way, the essence of water and grain can be transported and transformed, the blood can flow, the meridians will be smooth, and external evils will naturally find no place to stay.
This is why it is often mentioned that the meaning of life lies in exercise. However, it does not require you to exercise desperately, but you need to keep your body in a state of activity.
Overtiredness is an injury, small labor is the real health care
Sun Simiao lived for more than a hundred years, and his experience on health preservation is particularly practical: the method of health preservation always requires a little work, but not excessive fatigue.
This is quite true. Maintaining good health does not require you to lie motionless all day like a god, nor does it require you to work hard to wear yourself down.
The body needs some small labor, such as taking a walk or doing housework, to promote the circulation of Qi and blood and avoid blockage.
But you must not get exhausted. If you are extremely tired, you are not recovering, but injured.
The grasp of this "degree" is particularly important.
Relaxed These four words are the secret to long-lasting health.
Nowadays, it is easy for people to go to extremes, either in a state of laziness without moving, or in the direction of practicing to death as soon as they exercise, and eventually injure themselves.
In fact, you need to maintain some moderate activities every day and stop after sweating slightly. Only in this way can you maintain a steady stream of health.
Keeping your mouth shut means keeping your life in check
Li Shizhen said in "Compendium of Materia Medica": Food and drink are the lifeblood of human beings .
There is no exaggeration in this statement. The things a person eats into his body throughout his life are directly related to the quality of his body. There is a direct relationship.
The three meals should be kept in moderation, that is, they should be regular and quantitative, and there will be no overeating behavior; the five flavors should be balanced, that is, the sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty tastes should be taken in, but there should not be an excessive preference for any one taste.
By doing this, all the internal organs will be nourished, and the body and mind will naturally be at peace.
On the contrary, if the diet is irregular, or if you overeat spicy food today and crazily eat sweet food tomorrow, over time, the internal organs will be damaged, and the body will collapse.
Li Dongyuan also said that when the stomach is in good condition, the food it eats can be transformed into qi and blood.
Therefore, when it comes to maintaining health, it is better to eat well and eat the right food first.
When you are in harmony with the sky, calm your mind and mind, where does the disease come from?
When people live between heaven and earth, they have to follow the four seasons.
Zhang Zhongjing told us, Proper nourishment at all times does not lead to health and tranquility .
In spring, hair should grow, in summer it should be beautiful, in autumn it should be restrained, and in winter it should be closed. In terms of daily life, everything related to cold and heat should go with the weather and not conflict with nature. In this way, righteousness will naturally be sufficient.
In addition to complying with the weather, you must also adjust your own mind.
That's really the best tonic.
If you do both of these things, the disease will naturally be far away from you.
Some truths are about eating, some truths are about movement, and some truths are about tranquility. In short, it can be summed up in this sentence: living your life appropriately and correctly is more valuable than the effects that any supplement can produce.
Health preservation is never a patent for the elderly, but a lifelong habit.
Starting today, you might as well start by eating properly and taking a walk after meals to cultivate the righteousness in the body and make health the most natural thing in life.
