I saw a question on Zhihu: What did you experience and start to pay attention to health?
There was a reply that said:After nearly thirty years, his physical condition is declining, cervical spondylosis, gastrointestinal diseases, hair loss, insomnia ......There's no going back.
Recently, I started to get sick again, and the problem was frequent, and the doctor said that it was all because I didn't take care of myself.
experienced life and death, and became ...... to cherish life
Indeed, we will always realize the need for health when we lose or are about to lose our health.
Some people also fall into the health cycle as a result: over-exercising, relying on health supplements, and straying into the ......
But rushing and cramming are not conducive to health preservation.
In fact, true health preservation is to be in awe, sow good behavior, and attract the kindness of life.
Fear the disease and take care of the body
Around us, there are always some people who rely on their lack of illness, eat and drink, stay up late to sleep, and are too lazy to exercise.
After a long period of indulgence, the disease suddenly appeared, and then he began to review his bad Xi habits.
People who don't take health seriously, health doesn't take them seriously.
On August 23, 2023, the Internet celebrity artist "Bald Zhang" died of illness at the age of 52.
When he was not sick, he was Xi to eating and drinking, smoking and drinking, irregular work and rest, and felt that this was a heroic act.
After becoming an Internet celebrity, the rhythm of his life was even more disrupted.
After being diagnosed, his wish was: to be cured, to sing Puju Meihu, to start a family for his son, and to fulfill his filial piety in front ......of his mother
But the illness did not give him a chance to fulfill his wish.
He once said that people should change all bad life Xi when they are not sick.
It's just that it's too late to repent, and it's useless in the end, but it's enough to warn the world:
No matter how strong the body is, it cannot withstand the erosion and damage of bad Xi.
But many people are not aware of this at all, and even if similar incidents happen around them, they still go their own way and have little health awareness.
The Yellow Emperor's Neijing said: "Eat and drink modestly, live regularly, and do not work in vain, so you can form and be with the gods, and end your days and live a hundred years old." ”
One means that you should be moderate in your diet and not overeat.
Long-term overeating, even if there is no disease at the moment, will damage the spleen and stomach;Excessive dieting is also not a good Xi.
When bodily functions are imperceptibly impaired, diseases will emerge.
The second refers to the need for moderation in earning money and the combination of work and rest.
Efforts to make money are encouraged, but life is never encouraged to make money.
What is the point of not controlling the desire for money, overdrawing the spirit, and putting your life into it?
Only by being able to eat in moderation, living regularly, and not overexerting oneself can physical functions and mental states be coordinated, and only then can one have the opportunity to enjoy the destiny of heaven.
Between health and illness, there is the word "Xi".
Reverence for disease, learning to control it, and developing a good habit Xi life are to take care of the body.
Respect the rules and cultivate virtue
My neighbor's child is in his third year of junior high school, and he goes out early and returns late every day, but I have never heard the disturbing noise his child makes when he goes out and enters the door.
Once, when we met in the elevator, I asked about it, and the child's father said that their family had already developed a Xi, no matter who went out early and returned late, they would deliberately lower the sound and try to be quiet, for fear of disturbing the neighbors.
It turned out that it was not that there was no sound, but that they artificially operated to block the sound from the neighbors.
The family's behavior shook me through.
A person who can set rules for himself and stick to them must be virtuous and measured.
Such a person sows righteous behavior, and his body and mind are also nourished by "righteousness".
I've seen a story written by the author Mu Ling.
The relationship between my mother and my second aunt is very good, and my second aunt has a good family background, so I always want to give my mother some powder boxes, lipstick, combing oil and other things, but my mother never accepts them.
She insists on living in the poor, and natural simplicity is good.
Every year when I go to my second aunt's house during the Spring Festival, my mother always explains that the second aunt can ask for food, but if you give money, you can't ask for it.
This is a family rule, and no one can break it, otherwise the family law will serve.
When the second aunt gave money to the children, she tried her best to no avail, so she had to give up.
Because of the large number of people in the family and the heavy burden, the mother captured more than a dozen piglets and decided to raise pigs to supplement the family.
After working so hard until they were about to be slaughtered, the plague came, and all the pigs died.
At the beginning, the money for building a pigsty and buying a pig baby was borrowed from the bank, and the family wanted the mother to borrow money from the second aunt to repay the loan.
But Mom said that as long as she is there, the house rules are there:
You can't borrow money from relatives, you must learn to top it yourself when the sky falls, don't ask people for anything to do, and people can't be poor if they are poor.
She demolished the east wall and repaired the west wall, and finally solved the problem of repaying the loan.
In the second year, other people's families began to raise sheep, and my mother still insisted on raising pigs, and humbly consulted a veterinarian to pay attention to the diet and hygiene of pigs to prevent diseases.
At the end of the year, the price of pigs rose sharply, and the family finally got through the difficulties.
In the poor days, my mother always abides by the family rules, is familiar with the rules, is not tired, teaches the cultivation of virtue with words and deeds, and passes on the basic education of the children to live in the world.
The Book of Rites: The Mean" said:"Great virtue will live long. ”
A person with good virtue can adhere to the bottom line of being a man, and has both the backbone of independence and self-improvement, as well as the kindness for the sake of others.
Spiritually rich, not jealous or humble, calm, optimistic and open-minded, such an energy field is a good environment for health.
Respect books and cultivate a good mentality
In 2019, a student went to visit Professor Xu Yuanchong.
During this period, the two talked about the translation of a poem, and looked it up from one of the old man's books.
When the student turned the page, he quickly turned the page from the bottom of the page, and the old man said distressedly when he saw it, don't turn the book so much, be lighter, and turn it from the middle. For those who are scholars, they should pay more attention when turning the page.
This detail left a deep impression on the students.
People who love books and respect books regard books as treasures, and cannot tolerate the desecration of books.
A good book is a loyal companion in life, through which the reader can understand the world and nourish his body and mind.
In 1986, Bai Yansong bought a copy of "Selected Poems of Hazy" at Wangfujing Bookstore, and he was very excited.
At that time, poetry was very popular, and it was fashionable to have a book about poetry that was no less than buying a limited-edition designer bag today.
Selected Poems of Hazy", "Zeng Guofan", "Tao Te Ching", etc., Bai Yansong learned Xi expression and thinking from books.
He rarely appears on social platforms, and the life accompanied by books is the life he is most satisfied with.
As his fame grows, more and more people use his name to rub traffic on the Internet.
In the face of the hustle and bustle of life, he is not impatient, does not argue, still concentrates on reading and writing, and conveys the truth to readers through books.
Studying devotionally, my horizons are gradually broadened, my spirit is nourished, and I am more able to deal with life's problems more rationally.
Li Zhengtao, a professor at East China Normal University, said:
For books, one can not love or rely on, but one cannot but be in awe.
With the prevalence of electronic products and the decline of physical bookstores, it seems that the number of people who love to read has decreased.
But those who truly revere books will not forget them, nor will they slack off on them.
Books have always been their link to the world, to others, and to their hearts.
Thinking in multiple dimensions, discerning cause and effect, no matter whether life is going well or not, they can soothe their hearts through books.
Accept that everything that happens, and that's how it comes naturally.
There is a saying: the heart is wide and the life is extended.
Calm down when you are in trouble, comfort when you are in trouble, and keep your heart in the world, books can take a person to slowly reach such a state of life.
If the mentality is good, life is smooth, and the purpose of health preservation has been achieved.
In this life, there are not only flowery broad avenues, but also thorny wilderness and dangerous shoals.
We can't predict whether the next stop will lead to a peak or a trough, but we can revise our mindset and behavior to store energy for each move.
The positive and negative energy depends on the words and deeds in life.
Reverence for diseases, attention to small problems, prevention of major problems, good health, and free life;
Respect the rules, have a ruler in your heart, act in a certain way, do not exceed the boundary, and live an orderly life;
Reverence for books, follow the light of books, open body and mind, and be tolerant of the worldLife is less worrying.
In the end, life is kind to people who have a good body, virtue and mentality.
