New Year's Day is healthy
In the 5,000-year history of Chinese culture, traditional Chinese medicine, as a bright pearl, has made indelible contributions to the reproduction of the Chinese nation. However, in modern society, with the popularity of Western medicine, Chinese medicine is gradually marginalized.
In order to promote the popularization of Chinese medicine and let more people appreciate the charm of Chinese medicine, it is necessary for us to have an in-depth understanding of the concepts and methods of Chinese medicine, and how to integrate them into daily life. First of all, we need to understand that the core idea of TCM is "the unity of nature and man", that is, the harmony between man and nature. This means that our living habits, diet and daily life should conform to the laws of nature. For example, traditional Chinese medicine advocates "covering spring and autumn freezing", that is, it is necessary to keep warm in spring and exercise appropriately in autumn to adapt to the changes of the seasons. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine also emphasizes the "combination of cereals and fruits and vegetables", that is, the diet should be diversified to ensure balanced nutrition. So, how do you put these ideas into practice in your daily life?In fact, there is no need to deliberately pursue the so-called "secret of longevity" such as sleeping more and walking more. On the contrary, sticking to the following three small things may be able to prolong your life. The first little thing: regulate the mood.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that excessive emotions can lead to disharmony of qi and blood, and the dysfunction of the internal organs, which can lead to diseases. Therefore, regulating emotions is an important part of maintaining good health. We can adjust our emotions through reading, painting, sports, etc., and keep our mood happy and comfortable. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid overwork, excessive mood swings, etc., so as not to affect physical and mental health. The second little thing: moderate exercise. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "kinetic energy generates yang, and it also consumes yang", and moderate exercise can promote the circulation of qi and blood and enhance physical fitness. However, excessive exercise can deplete yang energy and cause harm to the body. Therefore, we should choose the exercise method that suits us according to our physical condition.
For example, traditional fitness methods such as Tai Chi and Baduanjin are very suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. Young people can opt for aerobic exercises such as running and swimming to enhance their cardiorespiratory fitness. The third little thing: eat right. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "medicine and food are of the same origin", and a reasonable diet can play a role in preventing diseases. We have to choose the right food according to the season, climate and other factors. For example, spring is the season when all things grow, and you can choose some foods that have the ability to rise, such as leeks, toons, etc.;In winter, you should choose some warm foods, such as ginger, garlic, mutton, etc., to keep warm. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid unhealthy eating habits such as overeating and excessive alcohol consumption to avoid affecting your health. In short, TCM emphasizes the holistic concept and individuality**, and its concepts and methods run through our daily lives.
