In modern terms, it means: Why did those people live a long and healthy life before, and they were not slow to act; Nowadays, people are under 5 years old. Why do they look so old and often get sick? Is it because times have changed? Or people can't?
the answer is: those who lived long before, because they mastered the law of health preservation and put it into practice; Nowadays, people are debauched, sexually immodest, with endless desires, irregular daily life, messy diet, violating the law of longevity all the time, naturally weak and unable to live long.
then, how to live is the Tao, and how to "go to the age of 1"?
The great physicist Einstein once said, "Success = hard work+correct method+less empty talk." To paraphrase this sentence, I think that Shouerkang is based on a healthy and scientific lifestyle, guided by a correct concept of health care, and combined with some small methods of health care, and insists on daily activities instead of just talking and not practicing.
at the age of 12, Deng Lao is still healthy, refreshed, blind and deaf, and sometimes goes out for meetings and lectures. Being able to achieve such a long and healthy state is closely related to his concept of health preservation and small methods of health preservation.
The following is a list of health preserving methods commonly used by Deng Lao in combination with his own situation, hoping to help you.
people's health includes "physical" and "mental" health. Physical and mental harmony requires us not only to be in good health, but also to have a good mentality, spirit and emotion.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that internal injuries of seven emotions are one of the main causes of diseases, such as liver injury caused by anger, emotional disharmony, poor mood, anger and mental stress, which are all enough to hurt the liver, and hypertension with hyperactivity of liver yang may occur. Worry, fatigue, spleen injury or excessive sadness, heart and spleen damage, long-term can lead to phlegm disturbance, or heart and spleen dystrophy, qi and blood stagnation and coronary heart disease.
To maintain the mind, we should first pay attention to the adjustment of the seven emotions, that is, joy, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear and shock, and don't overdo it, so as to balance the yin and yang of the whole body and reach the realm of "keeping healthy qi in the interior, but not doing evil", which is the major premise of health preservation and disease prevention.
Nourishing the heart and protecting health can be carried out in two ways: the first is to pay attention to the mental and emotional rehabilitation to avoid the harm of bad emotional factors to the human body; The second is to carry out proper self-adjustment exercise and achieve mental peace and health through physical actions.
Lingshu Ben Shen said, "A wise man's health care must conform to the four seasons and be suitable for cold and summer." In other words, keeping in good health should conform to the laws of climate change in nature, arrange daily life, and achieve the unity of heaven and man, which is wise.
this is because "the four seasons of yin and yang are the same for all things, and the foundation of life and death is also the same. If you go against it, it will be disastrous, and if you follow it, you can't afford to be harsh." That is to say, if you want to live a long life, you must follow the laws of nature. If you violate the laws, you will easily get sick and lose your life.
For example, when autumn and winter come, you should put on more clothes, hide in the house and turn on the heater. At this time, you don't, and you run around in clothes that show your ankles and so on. The result can be imagined. For example, in the hot summer, the sun makes people sweat and lose a lot of water. You not only don't find a cool place to escape from the heat, but also don't replenish water. You also run around desperately. How can you not get heatstroke?
In terms of specific daily life conditioning, the ancients put forward the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer and nourishing yin in autumn and winter". In view of the four-season climate change, this paper puts forward some concrete measures: "lying in the spring night and getting up early, striding in the court;" Lying in the summer night and getting up early are insatiable; Lie early and get up early in autumn, and be happy with chickens; Lying early in winter and getting up late, you must stay in the sun. " If we can sum up these valuable health-preserving experiences of the ancients and apply them to our real life, we can naturally enjoy our life.
It means that we should pay more attention to some popular knowledge of common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases, so as to help us identify our own health status and carry out prevention and treatment.
For example, hypertension is a common and frequently-occurring disease in contemporary society. Some patients will have clinical manifestations, such as:
Therefore, in this case, we can't avoid medical treatment, but we should recognize the existence of the disease as early as possible and treat it in time at the beginning of the disease. If we wait until the disease is terminally ill, of course there is nothing we can do.
