What is the Twelve-Hour Health Preservation Method of Traditional Chinese Medicine?

Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history. In ancient times, some emperors, generals, and concubines used such prescriptions to maintain their health. Now with the improvement of living standards, some TCM health-preserving methods have also entered the homes of ordinary people. We can all use these methods to maintain our health, so we can understand some health-preserving methods in TCM and pay more attention to them in our own lives. Today, I will introduce the Twelve-Hour Health Preservation Method of Traditional Chinese Medicine, so that we can keep in mind what we need to do at every moment.

Mao time: get up early and go to the toilet

Time: 5-7 p.m.

Corresponding meridian: Large Intestine Meridian

Tips for keeping in good health: When you wake up in the morning, you must have a bowel movement to expel waste and toxins from the body. Even if you don't feel like going to the toilet, go and squat there to develop a good habit.

Chenshi: Not eating breakfast will cause stomach problems

Time: 7-9 a.m.

Corresponding meridian: Stomach meridian

Tips for staying healthy: Eat breakfast between 7 and 9 o'clock. Many people worry that eating breakfast will cause obesity. In fact, if you eat breakfast during this period, it is easiest to digest and therefore will not make you fat. Make sure to eat a good and sufficient breakfast to avoid the spleen and stomach being left with nothing to digest.

Si time: the best time to lose weight

Time: 9-11 a.m.

Corresponding meridian: spleen meridian

Health-preserving tips: For women, strengthening the spleen can also help lose weight and beautify the skin. Drink more water during this hour to keep the spleen at its most active level and enable the body to enter a more benign metabolism.

Noon: The best time to nourish the heart

Time: 11:00~13:00

Corresponding meridian: Heart meridian

Tips for maintaining good health: During this period, it is best to take a short nap, even if it is just a power nap. This is very beneficial for nourishing the heart, and can make you energetic in the afternoon and even at night, so you must rest at noon.

Weishi: Less movement promotes digestion

Time: 13:00~15:00

Corresponding meridian: Small Intestine Meridian

Tips for health preservation: People who are thin should pay special attention to maintenance during this hour. People who want to gain weight should not do too strenuous exercise during this period of time. This will allow the small intestine to digest food well and promote the absorption of nutrients.

Shen Shi: Don’t hold your urine

Time: 15:00~17:00

Corresponding meridian: Bladder meridian

Tips for health preservation: Don’t hold your urine during this period. No matter how busy you are, you must excrete urine to get rid of waste from your body. People who often sit in the office can massage their calves when they have nothing to do. It is very good for the bladder meridian.

If we want to maintain our health, we can arrange our daily lives reasonably according to the do's and don'ts of the twelve hours mentioned above. We should do more of the things we should do and avoid the things we shouldn't do. Over time, we can make our bodies healthier. Moreover, reasonable health care can also make women's faces more beautiful and radiant.
