Generally speaking, a healthy person can live to the age he should live to. Because by far, the most important factor affecting people's life span is disease. So, how to judge whether a person is healthy or not according to the physiological characteristics of the human body?
(A) the eyes are full of gods
Bright eyes indicate that the physiological functions of visual organs and cerebral cortex are good. As the saying goes, "the eye is the window of the soul", which is what Chinese medicine calls "God is hidden in the heart, and the outside is waiting for the eye". The visual quality of eyes not only reflects whether the function of the heart is good or not, but also Chinese medicine believes that the eyes are related to the function of the five internal organs, because "the essence of the five internal organs is concentrated on the eyes", which shows that the eyes are the place where the essence of the zang-fu organs meets, and the deficiency of the zang-fu organs will definitely affect the eyes; On the contrary, eye diseases also reflect the pathological changes of viscera, so whether there is a god in both eyes is an important sign of health and disease.
(2) ruddy complexion
"Su Wen Pulse to Subtle" says: "The spirit of the husband is colorful, and the spirit is also brilliant." This means that the complexion is the external glory of the five internal organs and qi and blood. When qi and blood are abundant, the complexion is moist, while when qi and blood are weakened, the complexion is withered.
(c) The language is loud and clear
The sound originates from qi, and the lung governs qi, so the sound is loud and clear, reflecting the good function of the lung; If the language is low and the breathing is short, it means lung qi disease.
(4) slight breathing.
Without breathing, there is no life, because carbon dioxide can't be discharged, and fresh oxygen badly needed by the human body can't be sucked in. Slight deficiency means that a person's breathing should be leisurely and relaxed, and only in this way can the needs of the human body be maintained. "Difficult Classics" says: "Exhale the heart and lungs and inhale the liver and kidney." This shows that breathing is closely related to the function of human internal organs and is an important sign of health.
(5) Emotional stability
Here refers to the seven emotions and harmony, also known as harmony and anger. Traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine agree that excessive emotion is an important pathogenic factor. If people are calm, the excitement and inhibition of the cerebral cortex can be maintained in a normal state, thus playing a leading role in the whole, self-energy can be coordinated inside and outside, and diseases will not occur.
(6) Normal defecation
It is also said that "the front door is loose and the back door is tight". The front door is loose, indicating that the urine is normal and unobstructed, there is no obstacle, and the secretion is often controlled, indicating that the urinary system is normal and free from disease. The tight back door indicates that the tension of anal sphincter is good and there is no special disease in the intestine. Su Wen's Theory of Five Zangs said: "The soul gate is also the envoy of the five zang-organs, and Shui Gu can't hide for a long time." The door, that is, the anus, from which feces are discharged. The five zang-organs cause refers to that the physiological function of the soul gate is closely related to the five zang-organs, and is caused by the five zang-organs. Specifically, the opening and closing of the portal depends on the mastery of the mind, the mastery of liver qi, the rise and fall of temper, the declaration of lung qi and the fixation of kidney qi, thus maintaining its normality. Shui Gu can't be stored for a long time, which means that the dregs left after digestion and absorption in the stomach can't be stored here or for a long time. If it is not hidden, it will cause defecation and diarrhea, and if it is stored for a long time, it will cause constipation, reflecting the dysfunction of viscera.
(7) Strong teeth
The teeth are bones, and the kidney dominates the bones, so the teeth are firm, reflecting the sufficiency of kidney qi and kidney essence. When kidney essence is weak, teeth will fall off or wither.
(8) Flexible waist and legs
As the saying goes, people get old before they get old. Flexible waist and legs and easy walking prove that the muscles, meridians and joints of the limbs are strong and have the ability to live independently, which is conducive to anti-aging and disease prevention. Chinese medicine believes that the waist is the house of the kidney, and "kidney deficiency leads to waist fatigue". That is to say, if the kidney is full, the bones and muscles are strong, the waist and legs are flexible and the activities are free; If kidney deficiency, backache and leg pain, walking is difficult, in severe cases, it will cause hunchback.
(9) neither thin nor fat
Because being fat and being thin are morbid. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that fat people are prone to stroke and diabetes due to more qi deficiency and more phlegm and dampness; Moreover, thin people get angry and cough easily. Modern medicine believes that obesity will increase the extra burden of the body, because its oxygen consumption is 30~40% higher than that of normal people, and a large amount of adipose tissue is deposited in the abdominal cavity, which raises the diaphragm and limits the range of activities of the heart and lungs. Therefore, obese people often have a sense of oppression in the chest area and shortness of breath. Too thin, on the one hand, reflects the lack of nutrition in the body, or consumes too much and stores too little; On the other hand, being too thin is often the result of some diseases, such as diabetes.
(10) The pulse is slow and even.
Slow and gentle; Even, even; This means that a person's pulse condition should be calm. Because qi and blood run in the channels, normal pulse condition can reflect the operation of qi and blood. Su Wen's theory of regulating classics points out: "disharmony between qi and blood leads to changes in all diseases." It can be seen that by judging the pulse, we can find out whether it is a sick person or a healthy person.
(11) Moist hair
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the hair removes blood" and the liver stores blood, so whether the hair is moist or not reflects the liver's function of storing blood. At the same time, the quality of hair depends on the rise and fall of kidney essence. "On the Six Stages of Su Wen's Dirty Image" says: "Kidney ... is in full bloom". Therefore, the growth, shedding, black and white moisturizing of hair also reflects the situation of kidney qi.
(12) Binaural intelligence
The ear dominates hearing, and the chapter of Lingshu Pulse says: "Kidney qi leads to the ear", which shows that the hearing of the ear is intrinsically related to the kidney. "Soul Pivot, Evil Pathogen, Sick House" says: "the twelve meridians, the 365 collaterals ... don't be angry, listen." This shows that when lesions occur in various parts of the human body, they can be reflected in the ears through meridians, and the ears are closely related to the tissues and organs of the whole body. Hearing loss is a sign of aging if hearing loss and dullness occur.
Good memory
"The Theory of Lingshu Sea" says: "The brain is the sea of marrow." When the marrow is full, it means energetic, strong memory and good analytical and understanding ability. On the other hand, deficiency of kidney qi and marrow sea will lead to memory loss and poor analytical judgment, which is a sign of aging.
