How to live healthily?

Health care means maintaining, conditioning and supporting life. That is to say, based on the principle of regulating yin and yang, harmonizing qi and blood, and preserving spirit, we can achieve the goal of health and longevity through various methods such as regulating mind, guiding breath, regulating four seasons, supplementing food, supplementing medicine, abstinence, avoiding food and so on. Health preservation is also called health, moral cultivation, nourishing nature, hygiene, and ensuring health and longevity. The so-called life is life, survival and growth; The so-called maintenance means maintenance, recuperation and nourishing. In a word, health preservation is a scientific theory and method to maintain life, healthy spirit, enhance wisdom and prolong life according to the development law of life. The word "health care" first appeared in Huangdi Neijing Lingshu Benjing during the pre-Qin and Warring States periods: "Therefore, a wise man's health care must adapt to the cold of the four seasons, be in harmony with his emotions, and be both rigid and flexible, so he can never give up and live a long life." Production was born in ancient ancestors to meet the needs of resisting harsh natural environment, regulating physical strength, resisting diseases and preventing diseases. Health preservation is a treasure of the Chinese nation and an organic part of Chinese traditional culture. Health preservation is the result of our ancestors' summing up their life experience in their long-term life practice. Health preservation is to protect life and prolong life. Traditional medicine in China attaches great importance to preventive health care, that is, health preservation, through comprehensive measures such as mental conditioning, dietotherapy and health preservation. Achieve the purpose of strengthening the body, preventing diseases, preventing aging and prolonging life. In the theory of health preservation, prevention is more important than treatment, and the holistic theory of "correspondence between man and nature" is put forward. For example, Su Wen's "Ancient Naivety" records that "the law is based on yin and yang, harmony with surgery, moderate diet, regular daily life, and no rash action, you can be in harmony with God and live to a hundred years old." Another example is "Su Wenbao's Theory of Quan Ming Xing": "People are born with the spirit of heaven and earth, and the method of four seasons is also achieved." Another example is "The Record of Spirit Sui Shu": "Man is related to heaven and earth and corresponds to the sun and the moon." "Su Wenjin Kui Yan Zhen" said: "Long summer disease points are good for relieving cold, and autumn disease is good for miasma." The above points out the basis of "harmony between man and nature" and proposes to adapt to the changes in the external environment. The close relationship between man and nature, in order to adapt to the external environment, the internal environment of the human body must be unified, which requires the functions of the five internal organs to be interrelated, mutually restricted and relatively balanced and coordinated. Just like "Su Wen Anger and Heaven": "Yin and Pingyang are dense, but the spirit is harmonious." The truth. "Su Wen Acupuncture Theory" contains: "No evil can be done, including righteousness." "Su Wen Wen Re" said: "When evil is combined, its qi will be deficient." Health and longevity are people's dream goals. The sun, the moon and the sky in nature inspire people to learn from and return to nature, so that life can last forever. "Zhouyi? 6? 1 Legend in the picture: "Heaven is healthy, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement." Su Wen? 6? 1 The ancient naivety said: "I heard that there were real people in ancient times, holding heaven and earth, grasping yin and yang, breathing essence, holding an independent wake, and having a muscle, so they could cover heaven and earth for a long time without end." Although this expectation is difficult to realize, there are still many people who pursue longevity since ancient times. Zhang Zhongjing said in the Preface to Treatise on Febrile Diseases at the end of the Han Dynasty: "It is strange that people living in the world today do not attach importance to medicine and do not study prescriptions. In order to cure the illness of loved ones, the next is to save the poor and help the poor, and the middle is to protect the body. " Clearly put forward the idea of health preservation with medicine. The Five-Animal Play taught by Hua Tuo to his disciples is a record of early fitness and health preservation, while Ye Qiqing Sticking Powder taught by Hua Tuo to his disciples is a record of early longevity-prolonging prescription, which shows that Hua Tuo is indeed quite accomplished in health preservation research. Spiritual health or spiritual recuperation, which is dominated by indifference and nothingness, originated from the study of Laozi and Zhuangzi, and later mainly developed in Buddhism and Taoism. This is inseparable from the two schools' advocacy of cultivation and meditation, which is also an important prerequisite for qigong cultivation. Confucian Qigong advocates selfless and fearless integrity, that is, Mencius said, "I am good at nurturing my integrity", which is rarely passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, Qigong is also dominated by Buddhism and Taoism, and Wei Boyang's The Book of Changes can be regarded as a classic of Qigong. During the Jin and Sui Dynasties, the health preservation of mineral medicine reached its peak, and taking Wushi powder almost became the fashion of the literati class at that time. It spread widely, the disaster was fierce, and there were many casualties, which can be seen from the relevant records in the Theory of Pathogens of Sui Dynasty. After the Tang dynasty, the decline did not end, and the escape of emperors and giants was recorded. The art of sexual intercourse before Qin and Han dynasties seems to be more open, which can be seen from the ancient records of Mawangdui Han Tomb and the remaining silk books. After the Song Dynasty, perhaps due to the development and influence of Neo-Confucianism in Zhu Cheng, the feudal concepts of sex and sexual life, as well as the views of repression and exclusion, became more and more serious. Those who talked about sex in the room were not included or sealed as books, so few people passed it on to future generations. Since it was founded, Bigu regimen has been circulated for more than 1000 years. Because it is not easy to follow, it must be supplemented by meditation and other techniques, which is difficult for ordinary people to implement and accept. Therefore, there has been no great development, and it is only circulated in a few sects of Buddhism and Taoism. On the contrary, the principle of diet regulation and health care has developed day by day and deepened from generation to generation because it meets the needs of all walks of life, especially the upper class. Because the four seasons health care and environmental health care conform to the wishes of nature and people, the research is gradually deepening. Since 1970s, the research on health preservation at home and abroad has become increasingly active. Foreign countries focus on theoretical research and experiments to explore the causes and mechanisms of aging, including the internal determinants of organisms and harmful accumulation in the process of biological survival. China, on the other hand, focuses on the collation of traditional theories and the exploration of specific methods to combat aging. The purpose of health preservation is to prolong life and be healthy and disease-free. People should keep in good health as long as they have a breath, and the requirements of keeping in good health vary according to their own different situations. Life requirement: Every living thing has its normal life. Mayflies are short and turtles are long, which is caused by species. There are different opinions on how long the normal life span of human beings is. According to the records in Neijing, the normal life span of the world should reach 100 years old, which is basically consistent with the modern understanding of human life span. Only when a real person dies of vulgarity and devotes himself to life, he will live forever and stay away from heaven and earth forever (this is attributed to the fantasy of Taoism), but so far only a few birthday stars can achieve it. At present, the country with the longest life expectancy in the world can't be over 80 years old, which shows that health preservation is indeed a major issue facing all mankind. Requirements for health: Health includes both physical and mental aspects. For example, a vegetable, an idiot, may have normal physical vitality, but his understanding of God is lacking or incomplete, and he has lost his characteristics as the spirit of all things and his ability to survive on his own. Otherwise, those who need care, such as infirmity, infirmity, disability, inability to get out of bed, deafness and aphasia, will not meet the requirements of health preservation. You must move freely, be alert and clear-headed, that is, the so-called "hundred-year-old immobility" in Neijing, in order to reach the health standard of health and longevity. Health requirements of different ages: ① Fetal period. Depending on your mother, you can feel the influence of the outside world and your mother when you grow up in the womb. Health care in this period mainly depends on prenatal education, so all kinds of health care requirements are aimed at the mother to ensure the normal development of the fetus, such as steady action, rich and peaceful diet, calm and happy spirit, hearing and seeing, turning a blind eye to evil things, adequate sleep, abstinence from sexual intercourse and so on. (2) infancy. I have left my mother, and breastfeeding depends on my mother. When this period is immature, the body is not full, the air is uncertain, and it is easy to be full, hungry, frightened and attacked by evil spirits, and the disease spreads rapidly. Therefore, the health care in this period lies in the co-rearing of mother and child, the adoption of mother to prevent maternal diseases and children, the adoption of children to protect their various physiological needs, to adapt to its cold and warm weather, to watch more windy days, to eat reasonably, to be kind, peaceful and happy, and to make the baby develop firmly and steadily. (3) Children and adolescence. This period has been completely divorced from the mother, and health care mainly depends on oneself, but it also needs the guidance and care of parents. This period is characterized by rapid growth, substantial increase in intelligence and physical strength, and gradual maturity of fertility, which is the most significant period of mental and physical changes. Mentally, be kind to him, be loving, and guide him to reason and distinguish between good and evil. Poor teaching will lead to his withdrawn personality, strange behavior and even harm to society. Physically, advocate omnivory, self-care, diligent hands and feet, fully ensure the nutritional needs of its growth and development, and avoid stunting and dysplasia; In particular, we should pay attention to making them participate in housework and social welfare activities within their power, be enthusiastic about public welfare, be honest, and avoid the habit of getting what they want because of excessive indulgence and never taking care of others. 4 prime years. This period is the peak stage of human intelligence and physical strength, reaching the best period of muscular development, strong bones and muscles and full of energy, but it is also a period of falling back from the peak and beginning to age. Often due to self-reliance in the prime of life, the diet is out of control. At that time, I didn't realize that my actual physique had been damaged, and I quickly aged after entering the old age. Therefore, health care at this stage focuses on maintaining harmony and moderation. Although energetic, I don't try my best, don't want to work all night, eat and drink properly and live a regular life. I combine exercise with abstinence and essence to keep my physical strength and energy at a vigorous level, which can prolong my youth and delay my aging. ⑤ Old age. The last stage of life. People's aging is a natural law, so we should relax. During this period, most of the major events in life have passed. My mind is free from fetters, I feel comfortable, I visit friends to catch up with the past, I play chess, paint flowers, birds, insects and fish, I pay attention to the rules of my daily life, eat properly, exercise moderately, balance Yin and Yang, keep my blood flowing, and maintain my vitality at an appropriate level. In this way, I will be old and not die, hoping to prolong my life.
