Secondly, eat three meals a day on time and in moderation. There is a classic saying about how to eat three meals a day, that is, eat well early, eat well at noon and eat skillfully at night. To eat high-quality breakfast, we should eat eggs, milk, soy milk and other high-quality protein, but also eat whole grains, steamed bread, rice porridge, seasonal vegetables and fruits, because a high-quality breakfast can make the spirit of the day get a good start. At noon, due to the fatigue of the whole morning and the work of the next afternoon, the luncheon was more abundant, so in addition to the staple food, non-staple food and vegetarian dishes can get a good energy supplement at noon. Rest at night and avoid taking in too much energy. Generally speaking, simply drinking porridge and eating a small piece of staple food with 1-2 vegetarian dishes can reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, so be sure to eat dinner skillfully. In short, eat well in the morning, eat well at noon and eat skillfully at night. It is especially important to pay attention to moderation in diet. Restricting diet can effectively prevent damage to the stomach. People all know that eight full meals are enough. Don't overeat. A reasonable diet is good.
Eat seasonal food and have a balanced diet. There is a saying in Chinese medicine that "five grains are the supplement, five fruits are the help, five animals are the benefit, and five dishes are the supplement". The types of food you eat should be balanced, and you can't be partial to food, picky eaters or overeating. In addition, we should eat according to people, time and place, and choose local and seasonal food according to our own situation, which is most beneficial to the human body.
What is a "regular life"? That is, according to the changes of the four seasons, sleep should conform to the laws of nature and change.
In spring, the weather gets warmer and everything recovers. Huangdi Neijing says, "Stay up late and get up early, and stride in court". Stay up late and get up early to ensure a certain amount of activity time and make your body active.
In summer, the days get longer. Huangdi Neijing says that "staying up late and getting up early is insatiable", that is, staying up late and getting up early to receive the morning sunshine and fresh air.
In autumn, as the weather gets cold, the yang begins to converge. In Huangdi Neijing, it is required to "lie down early and get up early, and have fun with chickens". It is suggested to go to bed early to adapt to the gathering of yin essence and get up early to adapt to the relaxation of yang spirit.
In winter, the climate is cold. In Huangdi Neijing, it is required to "go to bed early and get up late and wait for the sun", that is, go to bed early and get up late, and it is best to wait until the sun comes out so as not to disturb the yang.
Therefore, it is necessary to adjust work and rest habits and sleep time according to the changing laws of the four seasons. This is the correct way to keep fit, not just insisting on "going to bed early and getting up early".
In a word, "eat well and live regularly" means that everything follows the sky and the solar terms. Life is alive, and eating and sleeping conform to the laws of nature in order to live well and healthily.
