Reflections on reading "Letters from Zeng Guofan" (V): Taking a walk after meals and keeping in good health

There is a saying, "If you walk a hundred steps after a meal, you will live to be ninety-nine." This shows that walking after a meal is very helpful to health care. Zeng Guofan wrote this in a letter to his family in "Books with Jize": Walking thousands of steps after meals every day is the number one secret of a health-preserving family.

In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen governs the four ends. The "four ends" refer to the human limbs. "The spleen governs the four ends" means that through the function of spleen to elevate the Qing Dynasty and disperse the essence, it transports the water and grain essence transported by it to the limbs of the human body to maintain the normal physiological activities of the limbs. When walking, the limbs are in motion, which helps digestion, and then the spleen is in motion, achieving the effect of strengthening the spleen. If the spleen is strong, it will be biochemically active and the qi and blood will be abundant. However, when taking a walk after a meal, don't walk quickly, but walk slowly. If you lie down to rest immediately after a meal, the blood vessels will be stagnant, the Qi movement will be blocked, and various diseases will occur.
