Introduction: In modern urban life, the pressure of life and work is increasing, and our physical and mental health is becoming more and more fragile. In order to maintain health, we must always pay attention to conditioning the body and improving immunity. As one of the traditional health preservation methods, Chinese medicine has rich experience and theory. Based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, this article will introduce the six principles of shock absorption to help you maintain a good physical condition.
The first principle: nourish the mind.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the heart is the organ that governs the body's functions and is also the regulating center of emotions. Mood swings and stress can lead to heart dysfunction, anxiety, insomnia and other problems. Therefore, we need to learn to soothe our minds and maintain a calm mind. You can improve your mental health through moderate exercise, listening, reading, meditation, etc.
The second principle: regulate the spleen and stomach.
The spleen and stomach are the key organs of digestion and absorption in the human body, and good digestive function must be maintained at all times. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are affected by external factors such as cold, heat, dampness, and dryness, which can easily cause problems such as indigestion, bloating, and diarrhea. Therefore, we should pay attention to dietary hygiene, avoid overeating, eat more easily digestible, fiber-rich foods, and maintain the health of the spleen and stomach.
The third principle: regulate the liver.
The liver is the body's detoxification organ and is essential for good health. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver likes temperature and is afraid of cold, and the cold environment can easily lead to poor liver meridians, causing headaches, insomnia and other problems. Therefore, we should pay attention to keeping the indoor and outdoor temperatures suitable and avoid being in a cold environment for a long time. At the same time, moderate exercise and maintaining a good mental state also help to regulate the liver.
The fourth principle: take care of the lungs.
The lungs are the main part of the respiratory tract and often inhale pollutants and viruses in the air. It is susceptible to injuries due to the influence of the external environment. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs like to be dry, and the cold and humid environment can easily lead to lung qi stagnation, causing coughing, asthma and other problems. Therefore, we should pay attention to keeping indoor and outdoor ventilation and dryness, less exposure to harmful substances, strengthening exercise, and improving the resistance of the lungs.
The fifth principle: regulates the kidneys.
The kidneys are one of the important organs of the human body, mainly responsible for the elimination of waste products from the body and the regulation of fluid balance. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidneys are the foundation of life, and long-term exposure to a cold environment can easily lead to a deficiency of kidney yang, causing problems such as soreness in the waist and knees, frequent urination, and sperm loss. Therefore, we need to maintain a suitable indoor temperature and avoid being in a cold environment for a long time. Moderate exercise and maintaining good lifestyle habits can also help regulate kidney health.
The sixth principle: take care of the spine.
The spine is the body's supporting structure and a conduit for nerve conduction. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spine is affected by external factors such as cold, heat, dampness, and dryness, which can easily lead to problems such as back pain and arthritis. Therefore, we should pay attention to maintaining the correct sitting, standing and sleeping posture and avoid staying still in one position for long periods of time. Proper massage and exercise of the spine can also help keep the spine healthy.
Conclusion: The six principles of shock absorption, namely nourishing the heart, regulating the spleen and stomach, regulating the liver, nourishing the lungs, regulating the kidneys, and maintaining the spine, are the summary of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and the summary of practical experience.
