How to preserve health to prolong life?

As the saying goes, if you want to live a long life, you must start with health preservation. Huangdi Neijing said: "Spring is March, which is called Chen. Heaven and earth are born and everything is glorious. " Spring is the best season of the year. When the sun is shining, the return of spring is full of vigor and vitality. "A year's plan lies in spring", and the maintenance of the Spring Festival is the basis of health preservation this year, so we should pay attention to health preservation in spring.

First, the clothes should be thicker and thinner.

"Spring and autumn are frozen without miscellaneous diseases." In spring, the sun is the spirit, the human body's texture begins to open, and the ability to resist the cold weakens. In early spring, the weather changes greatly, and it is cold at the beginning. As the saying goes, "Spring is chilly". Therefore, when the weather starts to get warmer, don't take off your cotton-padded clothes immediately, especially for the elderly and the infirm.

Second, nourish the yang.

What is yang? That is what people usually call "firepower", that is, the metabolic capacity of the human body.

If the yang is insufficient, there will be symptoms such as chills and cold limbs. There are many ways to maintain human yang in spring. The important thing is to "cover", that is, as the saying goes, "spring covers and autumn freezes", and clothes should not be reduced. People who are weak should pay attention to keeping their backs warm. In order to maintain yang, you can also eat more leeks (students do not recommend eating leeks). Although leeks are evergreen all year round and are eaten all year round, it is best to eat more in spring.

Third, exercise frequently.

In spring, people often have "spring sleep", so they must not sleep; Chinese medicine believes that "lying for a long time hurts the gas." Long-term sleep will cause slow metabolism, poor circulation of qi and blood, decreased oxygen absorption and carrying function, and toxins can not be excreted in time, leading to physical weakness and diseases. There will also be symptoms of listlessness, drowsiness and lethargy, which can be eliminated by exercise, and outdoor walking, jogging and ball games can be used to exercise.

Fourth, keep a good mood.

Spring is also the peak period of mental illness recurrence, so we should pay attention to soothing the liver qi. On weekends and long holidays, we can take our families to travel outside. Seeing the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland can broaden our horizons, cultivate our sentiments and keep ourselves happy.
