The way to maintain health and the art of maintaining health In life, many people equate the way to maintain health with the art of maintaining health, but this is not the case. Traditional Chinese medicine refers to the theory of health preservation as "the way of health preservation" and the methods of health preservation as "the art of health preservation". Health preservation basically summarizes the health preservation theories in medicine, diet, religion, folk customs, martial arts and other cultural aspects that have existed for thousands of years. Its content is nothing more than the following four points: Let nature take its course: It embodies the idea of ??"harmony between man and nature". It is emphasized that in the process of health preservation, we should not violate the laws of nature, but we should also pay attention to the unity and coordination of people and society. Just as the "Nei Jing" advocates: "Knowing astronomy at the top, geography at the bottom, and human affairs at the middle can last a long time." Nurturing both body and soul: In the process of health care, we should not only pay attention to physical maintenance, but also pay attention to the adjustment of spiritual and psychological aspects. This is the so-called "nurturing both body and spirit", "keeping the whole body of the spirit" and "preserving the whole body and mind". Combination of movement and stillness: Modern medicine advocates that "life lies in movement", and traditional Chinese medicine also advocates that "movement generates yang", but it also advocates "taking stillness in movement" and "not working rashly". Examine the causes and provide nourishment: Health preservation does not stick to one method or form. Health preservation activities should be carried out in various ways and in various ways, such as form, spirit, movement, stillness, food, medicine... In addition, different health-preserving methods must be used according to different people, places, and times. This is the so-called "examination of causes and giving nourishment" and "syndrome differentiation and giving nourishment." The "health regimen" requires the guidance of health regimen before it can be implemented. Its content covers the following seven aspects: Spiritual nourishment: including mental and psychological nourishment, interest hobbies nourishment and moral quality nourishment, etc. It mostly involves traditional Chinese medicine culture, religious culture and folk culture. Behavioral maintenance: including daily behavioral maintenance such as clothing, food, housing, transportation and sexual life. Qi nourishing: It is mainly the "internal nourishing function" of medical health Qigong. It involves more Chinese medicine culture, religious culture and martial arts ☆Coffee Language Teaㄣ Answer acceptance rate: 31.6% 2008-09-12 09:25 Report Drinking porridge in all seasons can also maintain health. I can't live without porridge all year round. I drank porridge every day and drank it again and again. I finally realized what the ancients said: "Porridge is the most nourishing thing in the world." Porridge is palatable, easy to digest and absorb, and has the effects of promoting body fluids and replenishing qi. Having studied medicine, I know that the functions of human internal organs change with the changes in solar terms. In order to achieve twice the result with half the effort, drink different porridge in different seasons. For example, drink lily porridge in spring. Lily has the effects of nourishing yin, moistening the lungs, nourishing the stomach and removing dryness and fire, while japonica rice is sweet and flat in nature. The cooking method is 20g of lily, 100g of japonica rice, and a little rock sugar. Boil the lily first, remove the residue and extract the juice, then add the japonica rice. After it is cooked, add rock sugar and it can be eaten later. I often drink mung bean and lotus root porridge in summer. Mung beans and lotus root both have the effect of clearing away heat and increasing body fluids. The method is to cook the mung beans first. When the mung beans are about to bloom, add 100g of japonica rice. After cooking until half cooked, add the thinly sliced ??lotus roots. Simmer until cooked. Cool and eat immediately. Cornmeal and sweet potato porridge is often eaten in autumn. Cornmeal is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and other nutrients, and sweet potatoes have the effect of curing diseases and prolonging life. The method is to turn 100g of cornmeal into a paste with cold water and bring it to a boil, then add the chopped sweet potatoes together and stir gently to prevent the cornmeal from sticking to the bottom of the pot. When making porridge, use a slow fire and pour cold water a few times in between. The cornmeal and sweet potato porridge should be neither thin nor thick. In winter I often drink millet, jujube, and red bean porridge. Millet is warm in nature, and jujube nourishes qi and blood. Adzuki beans contain essential sugars for the human body. Supplementing it in winter is good for health. The method is to wash the red adzuki beans first, cook them in warm water, and then add millet and jujubes. It is better to take 7-10 jujubes, 200g millet and 40g red beans. Boil an appropriate amount of water and put it in a rice cooker. It can be eaten at any time.
