Health rules

Health preservation means "preventive treatment" and is achieved through various methods such as nourishing the spirit, adjusting diet, exercising the body, being cautious about sexual intercourse, and adjusting to cold and heat. It is a comprehensive activity to strengthen the body and prolong life.

Deep Thought

First, the concept of health preservation that advocates the unity of man and nature. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the world is a big universe and the human body is a small universe. Heaven and man are connected, and man is influenced by the world at all times, just like a fish in water. Water is everything to the fish. Changes in water will definitely affect the fish. Similarly, all changes in the world will affect people. Therefore, Chinese medicine emphasizes the unity of man and nature, and the methods of health preservation should be adjusted appropriately according to the changes in climate of the four seasons, such as cold, hot, warm and cool.

Second, the concept of health based on the balance of yin and yang. People with balanced yin and yang are the healthiest people. The goal of health preservation is to achieve a balance between yin and yang in the body and mind. What is Yin? Yin is the material basis that constitutes the body. What is Yang? Yang is energy. Yin and Yang are relative. Anything that goes upward, outward, moves, and generates heat belongs to Yang; anything that goes downward, inward, and generates cold belongs to Yin. The body becomes sick because yin and yang lose balance, causing excessive yang or excessive yin, yin deficiency or yang deficiency. As long as we find a way to reduce the excessive side and increase the insufficient side, so that yin and yang can return to their original balance, the disease will naturally disappear. Therefore, Chinese medicine emphasizes the balance of yin and yang and a healthy life.

Third, the holistic view of the unity of body and mind. Chinese medicine health care focuses on both the physical and mental aspects. It not only pays attention to the exercise and maintenance of the tangible body, but also pays attention to the cultivation and conditioning of the mind. The body will affect the mind, and the mind will also affect the body. The two are two sides of the same coin and neither is dispensable.

Prolong life

The first question raised in the opening chapter of Huangdi Neijing, "On the Innocence of Ancient Times," is the issue of functional decline and lifespan: "I have heard that people in ancient times lived to be a hundred years old and their movements were not weakened. Nowadays, people are fifty years old and their movements are weakened. Is it because the times are different? Are people losing it?" Shennong's Herbal Classic constantly raises the concept of "immortality." In his book "Seeking the Wisdom of Shennong", Nie Wentao pointed out that the development of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese pharmacology did not rely on accidental accumulation of experience, but on the exploration conducted by a large number of ancient philosophers in pursuit of a higher level of health.

The "Tao Te Ching" once said that those who are good at health preservation know how to avoid harm to the body and mind. They know how to avoid disease through proper diet and a healthy lifestyle, thus staying healthy and living longer than the average person. When people can stay away from illness, they can naturally delay aging and prolong their lifespan.

The above is a detailed introduction to the characteristics of TCM health care concepts. TCM is of great help to the human body in health care. Therefore, TCM health care should be carried out for a long time, which will be of great help to the body. When middle-aged and elderly people choose TCM health care, they need to understand their bodies first so that they can know how to maintain their health best.
