Traditional Chinese Medicine and Heart Health: The Importance of Daily Maintenance.
Dear readers, as a doctor who has been practicing Chinese medicine for many years, I am well aware of the importance of the heart to human health. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the heart is not only the core of blood circulation, but also the source of our life. Today, I would like to share with you some knowledge on how to protect your heart and prevent cardiovascular problems through simple daily methods.
First, it's important to understand that the health of the heart doesn't depend solely on medical treatment. In fact, many of life's small habits can have a profound impact on our hearts. Among them, massage is a simple and effective way to nourish the heart. Just three minutes of kneading a day can energize the heart and prolong its lifespan.
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the heart and the small intestine are the inside and outside of each other. Therefore, we can achieve the effect of nourishing the heart by massaging the acupuncture points on the small intestine meridian. For example, the "carpal bone acupoint" located on the volar side of the forearm and the "Yanggu acupoint" located on the back of the hand are important acupuncture points. Once a day in the morning and evening, rubbing for three minutes each time can help dredge the meridians and reconcile qi and blood, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting the heart.
In addition, we can also take care of our heart by adjusting our daily diet. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "food and medicine are of the same origin", and many foods have medicinal value. For example, fish, nuts and olive oil, which are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, all have a role in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. At the same time, reducing the intake of foods high in salt, sugar and fat is also necessary to maintain heart health.
Finally, I would like to emphasize that although we can protect our heart through daily maintenance, if we have any discomfort related to the heart, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their own strengths, and only by combining the two can we better maintain our health.
To sum up, protecting the heart is not a difficult task.
