Chinese medicine often says "spring and summer Yang", spring and summer is the most Yang Qi, with the help of the day of Yang Qi, Yang Qi of the human body, can play a multiplier effect.
How to borrow the sky of Yang Qi? The most important and easiest way is to sunbathe. The sun is the source of our natural Yang Qi, when the golden sun rises early in the morning, we should come out and lift the arm, the two palms facing the sun in the sun, deep breathing, in order to maintain our heart and lungs. The second time is noon, especially in winter at noon, is the most valuable time to sunbathe. At this time, we should take off our hats, and the Baihui point on the top of our heads when bathing in the sun can inhale yang qi and conserve our brains. In the evening after dinner, you can also come out and let the afterglow of the evening sun shine on us again. At this time you can make a half fist with both hands and gently knock on the back (opposite the navel) of the fate of the door, the body's innate yang energy is hidden in it. In the fate of almost a fist on both sides of the position is the kidney Yu points, knocking the fate of the door and the kidney Yu, coupled with sunbathing, you can be in the kidney meridian duty, the last bit of heavenly yang qi absorbed into the kidneys.
Maintaining yang energy also requires that we learn to eat. Foods that generally grow in the south, sunny and on land have a yang-nourishing effect, such as chickens on land, sunflowers, pomegranates, wheat and bananas that ripen in summer, all of which are good for the maintenance of yang qi. In addition, you can eat more leeks and garlic scapes in spring to raise yang energy, and eat nuts such as walnuts, chestnuts, hazelnuts and pine nuts in fall. Fear of cold ladies can often drink some angelica ginger lamb soup, men are recommended wolfberry yam beef soup, onion popping mutton or chestnut porridge, etc., can play a good effect of Yang.
Another important aspect is to adjust the mind. The human mind is divided into joy, anger, sadness, grief and fear, and the seven emotions are also divided into yin and yang. Joy belongs to the Yang, our state of mind is happy, the seven feelings will bring us Yang; sadness belongs to the Yin, we are sad and depressed, will damage their own Yang. So live happily every day, Yang Qi will be naturally full.
People in middle age, the body inevitably accumulates some garbage, so in the protection of yang qi at the same time, but also learn to get rid of these yin waste, to achieve the purpose of slowing down the aging.
The elderly yin waste increase, it is easy to accumulate phlegm and dampness, so that the function of the spleen and stomach is weakened, appearing thick and greasy tongue, poor appetite, stools are not shaped and other symptoms. At this time we can use red beans, mung beans, white lentils and other kinds of beans boiled porridge to drink, to help get rid of moisture in the body. As for the phlegm-eliminating diet, radish is the best, followed by almonds and cabbage.
With age, the stagnation of blood vessels is also more and more serious, and common diseases such as high blood fat. Diet can choose more onions, garlic, kelp, soy milk, mushrooms, coarse grains, barley, oats and other lipid-lowering foods. For those with high blood fat, supplementing a small amount of Panax ginseng powder (1 2 grams) every day can also help clear the blood vessels.
In addition, the elderly increase in yin, it is recommended to do more exercise to "sun", exercise in the form of fast walking, square dancing is good. Exercise plus music, can be very good to regulate emotions. Weekdays more community activities, volunteers, etc., to help everyone, happy themselves, are a good way to resist the yin qi.
Of course, the resistance to yin and yang is not an invariable law, some people, although older, but the yang is very full, the spirit is very good, and even a little bit of "fire", these people do not have to stick to this, or should follow the principle of balance between yin and yang, to maintain the best physical condition.
