On a quiet spring afternoon, Auntie Li heard a refreshing health concept in a community health lecture – the five internal organs are mutually reinforcing, and this ancient wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine instantly piqued her curiosity. She has experienced long-term stomach pains and sleep problems, and has tried various Western medicine** and health supplements with minimal results. When the speaker explained in depth how to improve health by reconciling the relationship between the five internal organs, Auntie Li seemed to see a glimmer of hope. 
This is not only Aunt Li's story, but also a true portrayal of many people around you and me. With the acceleration of the pace of modern life, health issues are increasingly the focus of attention. However, in the face of a large amount of health information, many people feel lost and helpless. The theory of the five internal organs and the mutual restraint of each other, which contains profound wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine, originally hides so many ways of health preservation, covering not only diet, emotional management, but also harmonious coexistence with the laws of nature. The Guardian of the Five Organs: The Source of VitalityTCM theory regards the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys as the five pillars of human health, and each organ not only undertakes unique physiological functions, but also influences each other to maintain the balance and harmony of the body. The heart is responsible for blood and consciousness, the liver is responsible for excretion and emotional balance, the spleen is responsible for digestion and transformation, the lungs are responsible for breathing and regulating water channels, and the kidneys are responsible for growth, development and reproduction. Mutual Restraint: The philosophical theory of the unity of heaven and man is based on the philosophical idea of the unity of heaven and man, which believes that the balance of life activities is maintained through the relationship between the five organs through mutual generation (generation) and mutual restraint (conditioning). Symbiosis refers to the mutual support and promotion of various organs, such as the liver wood gives birth to heart fire, which means that the normal function of the liver can support the health of the heart; Xiangke is a relationship of mutual restriction and balance, such as the lung Jinke liver wood, indicating that the function of the lungs can restrict the excessive activity of the liver to a certain extent and prevent the imbalance of body functions. This theory emphasizes a state of dynamic equilibrium, and the imbalance of either side will affect the harmony of the whole system. Therefore, the five organs are not only a model to describe the interaction between organs, but also a practical strategy for health maintenance and disease prevention. Cardiac care: Maintain emotional stability and avoid over-agitation. Arrange your work and rest reasonably, ensure adequate sleep, and eliminate excessive burden on the heart. Liver grooming: adjust the dietary structure, reduce the intake of greasy food, and increase vegetables and fruits; Arrange work and rest reasonably, avoid overwork, and maintain a good emotional state. Spleen and stomach conditioning: Insist on eating regularly and quantitatively, and the food should be mild and easy to digest. Moderate exercise can enhance the function of the spleen and stomach. Lung cleansing: Keep indoor air circulation, avoid smoking, and participate in outdoor activities to improve lung resistance and self-purification. Kidney maintenance: Avoid overexertion and make sure you get enough rest. Drink plenty of fluids while avoiding excessive consumption of stimulants such as caffeine and alcohol. By adjusting our diet, emotional management, and lifestyle habits, we can effectively maintain the balance of our five organs and promote good health. It is worth noting that these recuperation methods are not isolated, they have a deep connection and influence on each other, as revealed by the theory of mutual growth and restraint of the five internal organs, health preservation is a process of comprehensive adjustment and optimization. By deeply understanding and practicing the health regimen of the five organs, we can not only improve our own quality of life, but also prevent and reduce many health problems. In this process, everyone is able to learn how to listen to their own body, take care of themselves more intelligently, and enjoy a healthy and harmonious life. 
Before going deep into the five internal organs, we must first understand the basic concepts of the five internal organs in traditional Chinese medicine and their corresponding relationship in modern medicine. The five organs refer to the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, which not only occupy the core position in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, but also are the key organs of modern medical research, undertaking the basic functions of human life activities. The function of the five organs and the perspective of modern medicine: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the heart is the main blood vessel, while modern medicine defines the heart as the center of blood circulation and is responsible for transporting nutrients and oxygen to the whole body. Liver: Seen as the key to regulating mood and blood storage. Modern medicine has discovered that the liver is involved in metabolism, removing toxins from the body and regulating blood sugar. Spleen: responsible for digestion and absorption in traditional Chinese medicine. Modern medicine states that the spleen is part of the immune system that monitors the blood and removes aging red blood cells. Lungs: In traditional Chinese medicine, the lungs are responsible for breathing. Modern medicine also considers the lungs to be a place of gas exchange, providing oxygen to the body and expelling carbon dioxide. Kidneys: In traditional Chinese medicine, they are regarded as the main water and the organs that store essence. Modern medicine has found that the kidneys regulate fluid balance, eliminate waste products, and regulate blood pressure. The scientific basis of mutual growth and mutual restraint is the principle of mutual growth and mutual restraint of the five organs, that is, each organ supports or restricts other organs through certain physiological mechanisms, forming a complex system of interdependence and mutual influence. This theory has its corresponding physiological and pathological mechanisms in modern medicine. For example, the functions of the heart and kidneys are interrelated, and insufficient heart function may lead to kidney function being affected, and vice versa, which is consistent with the TCM theory of heart-kidney intersection. Modern medicine has found that the interaction between organs is not limited to the exchange of substances, but also includes the mutual regulation of the nervous system and the endocrine system. This confirms the scientific validity of the theory of mutual growth and restraint of the five organs in TCM, and the health status of each organ will affect the health balance of the whole body. According to the principle of mutual growth and restraint of the five organs, we can adopt specific lifestyles to improve the health of the five organs: Dietary conditioning: choose appropriate foods according to the characteristics of each organ, such as choosing foods rich in antioxidants for liver detoxification, and supplementing potassium-containing foods for the kidneys. Moderate exercise: Enhance heart function, improve blood circulation, and promote liver metabolism and kidney detoxification through exercise. Emotional management: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that emotions directly affect the health of the five organs, and modern psychological research has also confirmed that emotional states are closely related to the endocrine system, so adjusting emotions through meditation, yoga and other methods is essential for health preservation. 
By combining the five internal organs health preservation theories of traditional Chinese medicine with the research results of modern medicine, we can not only deeply understand the scientific basis of traditional health wisdom, but also practice these theories in daily life to promote health and prevent diseases. This interdisciplinary integration provides us with a comprehensive and in-depth perspective of health preservation, making the practice of health preservation of the five organs more scientific and effective.
