"Suwen·Xuanming Five Qi" mentioned: "The five types of injuries are injuries caused by prolonged looking at the blood, lying down for a long time hurting the qi, sitting for a long time hurting the flesh, standing for a long time hurting the bones, and walking for a long time hurt the tendons." This means that excessive use of the eyes will damage the blood, lying in bed for a long time will damage the Qi, sitting for a long time will damage the flesh, standing for a long time will damage the bones, and walking for a long time will damage the tendons. The "seven injuries" are sadness and heart damage, anger and liver damage, cold and lung damage, fullness and spleen damage, sexual intercourse and sexual intercourse and kidney damage, fear and will damage, and wind and rain, cold and heat, and body shape damage. Generally speaking, these are all symptoms of deficiency and damage.

"It takes a day to freeze three feet." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of many diseases does not happen overnight, but is caused by our "not paying attention" for a long time. Although sitting, standing, looking, walking, and lying are the most common human life activities in our lives, sitting, standing, walking, etc. for a long time are not conducive to physical health. Over time, chronic diseases will appear. These are the things we are most likely to fall prey to. See how many you won?

Staring for a long time damages the blood

Staring for a long time means overuse of the eyes. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the liver stores blood and opens the eyes. The liver receives blood and the eyes can see. If you use your eyes excessively and look at things for a long time (such as looking at computers, mobile phones, reading books, newspapers, etc.), it will damage the essence and blood of the liver, resulting in blurred vision, dizziness and other discomforts.

Therefore, it is best to take a proper rest after reading a book or newspaper for about thirty minutes. Looking into the distance or massaging your eyes can greatly relieve eye fatigue and prevent the occurrence of symptoms such as blurred vision and dizziness.

For people who often use their eyes, they can eat foods that can replenish essence and blood, such as longan, black beans, lettuce, red dates, peanuts, walnuts, wolfberry, etc.

Lying down for a long time damages Qi

"Qi" is one of the most basic substances that maintains human life activities. "Lying for a long time damages Qi" simply means that if you stay in bed for a long time without moving, the movement of Qi will become slower, and the metabolic rate in the body will also slow down accordingly, which can lead to insufficient Qi throughout the body, resulting in a series of symptoms such as listlessness. Symptoms of qi deficiency include lack of energy, fatigue, shortness of breath and other symptoms. Secondly, Chinese medicine teaches that "Qi is the leader of blood, and when Qi moves, blood moves." In other words, if you stay in bed for too long every day, it will cause qi and blood to not flow smoothly and cause symptoms of qi stagnation and blood stasis.

Therefore, normal bed rest or sleep is very necessary to make the body full of qi and blood and energetic. However, if you stay in bed for too long every day and lack proper walking and exercise, your Qi and blood will decline, and the circulation of Qi in the five internal organs will be damaged, resulting in laziness and lack of energy.

Therefore, we must develop the habit of going to bed early, getting up early, and sleeping regularly. Of course, people who have been bedridden for a long time should eat more foods that can replenish qi and promote qi, such as ginseng, heterophylla, etc.

Sitting for a long time hurts the muscles

< p> Sitting for long periods of time can cause muscle damage, that is, people who often sit for long periods of time without exercising, lack of limb activity, and lack of muscle exercise, are prone to muscle fiber atrophy, weakened muscle strength, and will damage the motor function of human muscles over time; secondly, traditional Chinese medicine It is believed that the spleen controls the muscles of the limbs. If you sit for a long time without moving, the function of the spleen will be damaged, resulting in symptoms such as loss of appetite, decreased digestive function, and physical weakness. This is why many people feel physically sleepy after sitting for long periods of time.

Therefore, if you often work overtime and sit for a long time in the office, it is best to eat more lotus seeds, yam, coix seed and other foods; it is better to get up and move around after sitting for thirty or forty minutes.

Regularly massage the acupoints around the lower abdomen or other related acupoints: Zusanli, Shangjuxu, Dachangshu, Pishu, Weishu, etc., which are all beneficial.

Zusanli is an acupoint on the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming. It is a major acupoint that strengthens the body and has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach.

Long-term standing can damage bones

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidneys govern bones and produce marrow. That is to say, bones are controlled by the kidneys. Standing for a long time will not only cause obstacles to the movement, flexion and extension functions of the bones, but also cause joint pain, deformation, and fractures, and can also cause kidney damage.

Therefore, it is beneficial to eat black foods such as black fungus, black beans, black sesame seeds, broad beans, etc.; or moxibustion on Shenshu, Yaoyangguan, Mingmen, and Ashi points.

Long-term walking can damage the tendons

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the liver governs the tendons, and its essence is in the claws. This means that the tendons are attached to the joints and nutrients come from the liver. Due to the contraction and relaxation of tendons, the muscles and joints of the whole body move freely.

"Huangdi Neijing" believes that tendons and liver are closely related. First, seek the same spirit. Wood means bending and straightness, while tendons govern flexion and extension. The key to the flexion and extension of human body joints and the movement of limbs lies in the flexion and extension formed by the relaxation of tendons, which is similar to the nature of "wood means bending and straightness", so the function of tendons is related to the liver. Secondly, in terms of physiology, the normal functioning of fascia depends on the moistening and warming of liver essence.

"Suwen: Different Treatise on Meridians" states: "Food Qi enters the stomach, disperses essence in the liver, and obscene Qi circulates in the tendons." Therefore, the liver blood is sufficient, the fascia is nourished, and the joints can move flexibly and powerfully. Therefore, there are sayings that "the liver governs the tendons", "the liver generates the tendons" and "the liver stores the Qi of the fascia".

Third, in terms of pathology, fascial abnormalities are often blamed on the liver.

For fatigue caused by long walks, the best way is to self-massage, otherwise the soreness will remain for a long time. Generally, the four methods of massaging, massaging, pushing and holding are the main ones.

You can use the sore point (Ashi point) as the main massage point, supplemented by massaging the Zusanli point (3 inches below the outer knee) and Chengshan point (the two muscles of the gastrocnemius of the calf). Relieve discomfort at places such as the depression in the middle), Weizhong point (in the middle of Yanwo), Chengjin point (the depression in the center of the calf muscle), etc. It can also be combined with drug treatment, such as Shujinhuoxue Decoction or Jinbujin Pills. Soaking your feet is also a good way to eliminate fatigue in your lower limbs.

You can add an appropriate amount of Angelica sinensis (blood enrichment), Polygonum multiflorum vine (unblocking collaterals, dispelling wind), Clematis (expelling wind and dampness, unblocking collaterals and relieve pain), Wuyao (smoothing) into the water at 38-43 degrees Celsius. Qi relieves pain, warms the kidneys and dispels cold) and other traditional Chinese medicine packages. Soak your feet for 20-40 minutes, preferably with a slight sweat, which can nourish your muscles and bones, relieve fatigue, and reduce heel pain.

We must pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and regulate the nerves, body and mind. This is the correct way to maintain health.

Five Labors and Seven Injuries, Look Back

Finally, I would like to introduce to you the "Five Labors and Seven Injuries, Look Backward" in Baduanjin, which focuses on the Five Labors and Seven Injuries. Seven injuries are used to perform health care actions.

There are two core methods of this action:

One is to turn your head, that is, the action of "looking back" . Look hard and shift your eyes backward, which exercises the Dazhui point on the back of the neck. Dazhui point is a very important acupoint. Almost all Yang meridians of the human body pass through Dazhui point, such as Du meridian, small intestine meridian, triple burner meridian, bladder meridian, etc. The seven injuries are the natural damage caused by the outside world to our body. This kind of damage must first damage the "yang" level of the human body. By twisting the Dazhui point, this action enhances the effect of Yang Qi to cause changes in the body and resist external damage.

The second is to rotate the arm. In this action, the palm of the hand first moves backward, and then, as you "look back," the palm of the hand is fully externally rotated until the palm is outward (at this time, the little finger feels numb), and then internally rotated back. In the process of rotating the arms, the armpits are actually spread out.

The armpits run along the liver meridian, and by rotating the arms, both the yin and yang meridians of the human body are exercised.

For our arms, the yin meridian is in the front and the yang meridian is in the back. The arm turns from the inside to the outside, and then from the outside to the inside. In fact, it turns the yin meridian and the yang meridian The scriptures are all opened. The five injuries are internal injuries, and the yin meridian governs the interior; the seventh injury is external injuries, and the yang meridian governs the exterior. Therefore, in the process of rotating the arms and exercising the yin and yang meridians, this action can achieve the purpose of preventing and treating five types of labor and seven injuries.
