How to balance yin and yang, embark on the road to health?

Huang Di said: Yin and Yang, the way of heaven and earth, the program of all things, the parents of change, the birth and death of the beginning, the House of God also. Treatment must be sought in this. Therefore, the accumulation of yang for the sky, accumulation of yin for the ground. Yin static yang agitation, yang born yin long, yang kill yin hide. Yang transforms qi, and yin takes shape. The most important tenet of health care is to maintain the balance of yin and yang in life. The balance of yin and yang is the foundation of life; if yin and yang are balanced, then our body can be healthy; if yin and yang are out of balance, then we will suffer from illnesses, premature aging, and even death. According to the outside for the Yang, inside for the Yin; on the Yang, down for the Yin; back for the Yang, the abdomen for the Yin law, then the human skin and hair outside for the Yang, internal organs for the Yin; head on the Yang, foot in the bottom for the Yin.

The health of the human body, determined by whether the yin and yang of the harmonization, such as the "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" said: "yin and yang secret, the spirit of governance. After the human body ingests food and drink, through the spleen, the stomach's decay and transportation, the nutrients will be transported to all parts of the body, so that the body grows strong, so that the vitality of the active force is exuberant. The tangible waste material after food digestion is discharged from the front and back of the two yin. If the yin and yang of the human body are kept in balance, the human body is healthy. When the body's yin and yang are out of balance, it will show various symptoms. The ancient classification of symptoms is also represented and described by yin and yang. Yang symptoms are generally characterized by fever, thirst, rapid pulse, etc. These symptoms were also known as heat (i.e., yang) symptoms in ancient times. Yin symptoms are generally characterized by the absence of fever, lack of thirst, cold hands and feet, and a slow pulse, which were also known as cold (yin) symptoms in ancient times. This is what the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says: "When yang wins, it is hot; when yin wins, it is cold".

Another yin and yang deficiency is a disorder in which yin or yang is below the normal level, one of its parties is below the normal level, while the other party maintains the normal level, or both parties are below the normal level to varying degrees, and so there is a deficiency syndrome. If yin is deficient and yang is normal, yin deficiency gives rise to internal heat; if yang is deficient and yin is normal, yang deficiency gives rise to external cold; and if both yin and yang are deficient to varying degrees, deficiency cold and deficiency heat are seen together or both yin and yang are deficient. This is what the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says, "Yin deficiency produces internal heat, Yang deficiency produces external cold", "Yin and Yang deficiency".

So how do we maintain the balance of yin and yang in our lives? We know that human life reserves are limited, any product, including life, including a person, energy reserves are limited. Then we have to rationalize the arrangement, our life is like a burning a candle, the more vigorous the burning, the sooner the extinction. Therefore, we have to pay attention to the issue of energy conservation in order to maintain the balance of yin and yang in our lives. Energy-saving nourishment includes quiet nourishment, slow nourishment and low-temperature nourishment, which are the three major treasures. The purpose of our energy-saving regimen is to protect the yang and yin qi, avoid unnecessary loss, and thus maintain the balance of life's yin and yang.

Nowadays, many people are caught in this strange circle: the first half of their lives rely on health for money, and the second half of their lives use money for health. The key to breaking out of this circle is to start now and follow the "yin and yang way" in our lives.

This is a party for young successful men. After talking about business after talking about his wife and girlfriend, began to talk about their own physical condition. 32-year-old that one has a fatty liver, 34-year-old that high blood fat, just 30-year-old that blood viscous ...... a moment of inattention, the beer belly grows on the liver is also a problem, the lack of exercise in the body with cardiovascular disease, driving to and from work every day! The elevator legs occasionally climbed a few floors began to asthma, cervical vertebrae and shoulder pain, all kinds of sub-health symptoms appeared ......

Three things in life can not wait: filial piety to parents, children's education and their own health. Now, living conditions are better, "three high", obesity and other threats to the health of the disease also came. In fact, according to the function of human cells, there is no problem for people to live to be more than 120 years old. The problem is that we "to wine as pulp, to delusion as often, to want to exhaust its essence", eat, drink and have fun is "business fast its heart, against the rise of music, living and living without rhyme and reason", in violation of the laws of nature, the essence of the spirit of the damage, naturally, can not enjoy the days of age.

And in the view of Chinese medicine, the human body and nature, also by the two important elements of yin and yang. The real medicine is in the human body itself, and the key to health is "balance between yin and yang", which, in today's popular terms, is to harmonize the body and mind to enhance one's immune system and thus obtain good health.

The way to balance yin and yang lies in "moderation."

The core of Chinese medicine lies in the integration of humanism and heavenly law, which means that human activities must follow the inherent laws of nature. The laws of Chinese medicine are to hide the essence, guard the spirit, and observe the time. The key to balancing yin and yang according to these principles is "moderation": exercise in moderation, mental calmness, and moderate diet.

Once the body's yin and yang are out of balance, it's easy to get sick. The way to regulate is to balance the yin and yang to hide the essence, keep the spirit and the time. Hidden essence is to preserve the essence of the kidney, the essence of life, to keep the spirit is to nourish the spirit, the spirit of tranquility and emptiness, less boredom, the law of the time is to follow the nature of the four seasons, in the daily ZiHou (11:00-1:00 pm) and the time of the afternoon (11:00-13:00 pm) to sleep, and to eat less anti-seasonal food.

Specifically, we need to moderate exercise, diet and emotions based on an understanding of our constitution. For example, the secret of the longevity of turtles and snakes lies in moderate exercise, a combination of movement and static, a slow pace, good energy conservation, and a small depletion of life reserves. For humans, the best forms of exercise to do this are walking and tai chi. "To live well, you must eat little." We should eat at least 1-2 times a week, so that the stomach and intestines can be formatted, thus reducing the burden on the intestines and the whole body. Moderation of emotions, as far as possible to do the spirit of internal security, may wish to "heartless" some of the world, as far as possible to maintain a child's heart. Because of the great joy sad, great anger hurt liver, thought hurt spleen, sad lungs, fear hurt kidney.
