? Nowadays, many people like to go out to exercise after sunset in the evening. The main reason is the modern high-paced life, especially in big cities, where they can freely control other time to exercise except weekends. For most working-class people, they only have time to exercise at night after evening. But is it good to do physical exercise at this time?
At night, I often see people running in the park, waving banners and shouting slogans, showing an arrogant attitude that the whole world is weak and only I am strong. Everyone doubts it, but I'm not. This kind of exercise may not be appropriate. We should study Huangdi Neijing and think of its health-preserving wisdom. Although it has been more than two thousand years, it still has guiding significance for modern health preservation.
There is a passage in Huangdi Neijing: "Refuse dusk, don't disturb bones and muscles, don't see fog and dew", which answers the above questions well. This sentence comes from the third chapter of Huangdi Neijing, and the original text is as follows:
? "Therefore, the sun be the spirit, a day and the Lord, Pingdan popular, Japan and China and the sun be the spirit is long, the sun be the spirit is empty, the valve is closed. It was because of dusk that I refused and didn't disturb my bones and muscles. I don't see fog or dew. Instead, I was trapped and lost weight. "
It means that the yang of human body is closely related to the changes of yin and yang in nature. Yang Qi dominates the body surface during the day. During the day and morning, the yang begins to sprout and gradually enrich the body surface; At noon, the yang is the most abundant, and the human body has the most yang; In the yellow dusk when the sun sets, the natural yang decreases with the decrease of the sun's exposure, and the yin gradually strengthens, so the human body is the same as nature, and the yang of the human body is also decreasing, and the yang on the body surface is gradually hidden, and the sweat pores are closed, so that it can be avoided that the yang dissipates too much and the vulva cold invades the body and becomes sick. This is also the process of the rise and fall of the Yang day. It shows that the maintenance of human yang should conform to the law of natural changes, adjust daily life and arrange work and rest according to the different time when yang is born, prosperous and hidden. If we violate this law, it will lead to physical distress, weakness and emaciation. If you overwork your bones and muscles at dusk, it is easy to make the yang difficult to converge and dissipate; Or in the fog and dew, the evil of cold and dampness is easy to invade the human body and damage the yang. People who keep in good health must know this place.
? Therefore, it is not suitable for us to do sports after dusk, especially strenuous exercise, which is called "stretching". At dusk, the human body's yang should be hidden, but after exercise, it is easy to make it difficult to converge and dissipate. At this point, the appearance of yang has shrunk, and exercise has opened the pores of the epidermis, so the evil of cold and dampness is easy to invade the human body and even more lost. This is a long-term violation of the laws of the rise and fall of yin and yang in nature and human body.
? Some people say that I only have time to exercise after dusk! How can we reduce the loss of yang? The method is as follows. If you have to exercise at night, I suggest that you can do some mild sports, such as walking, standing piles, Tai Chi, yoga, control the range of exercise, as long as your body sweats slightly, and pay attention to avoiding the invasion of cold evil, especially in cold autumn and winter.
? The method is in yin and yang, suitable for tricks. Follow nature and you will live in harmony with Tao.
