Yijing health care
Nowadays, there are many kinds of health preservation methods, which make people see things in a blur. When people take supplements and go to health centers, there are always people complaining that they are ineffective. Keeping quiet to keep healthy is a thousand-year-old adage. Keeping healthy means keeping your heart healthy, that is, keeping quiet. To really calm down, you need to be indifferent to your ambitions and set a meaningful goal in life. Our pursuit of health is not only to prolong life, but also something deeper than the pursuit of prolonging life. We can train businessmen not to be philistine and literati not to be pedantic, then we can achieve the most peaceful state of cultivating our hearts and expressing our feelings with sex, and we can also get the foundation of life brought by tranquility.
"Resting" is the basic guiding ideology of China's traditional health preserving theory. "Keeping in good health by quietness" holds that keeping mental state quiet and peaceful is the first thing to keep healthy, followed by exercise and supplements. Before the 20th century, almost all people in China used the theory of "keeping in good health" to guide their health practice. For thousands of years, most people in China who pursue "keeping in good health by quietness" have achieved the effect of keeping in good health and longevity. The theory of "keeping in good health by quietness" came into being in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the sages of China, especially Taoism, attached great importance to "keeping in good health by quietness" and made a clear exposition of this theory. Laozi said, "Be empty, be quiet" and "Quiet is the best thing in the world". Huangdi Neijing more clearly says: "Quiet and nothingness, follow the true qi, keep the spirit inside, be safe but not ill".
There is a saying in our country that "peace of mind is naturally cool", which actually depends on peace to keep fit. People are "moving" things, and they move almost all the time. Besides working all day, it is necessary to have a rest for a while to balance exercise.
Now there is a famous saying that "life lies in sports". This statement of "keeping in good health by exercise" is also accepted by many people, but doesn't it mean that the theory of "keeping in good health by quietness" advocated by Huangdi Neijing and many health experts in China history is wrong?
In fact, the two are not contradictory. Motion and stillness are like two sides of a coin. You can't just say that you are moving, you can't just say that you are still, and you can't just say that you are still. It is one-sided to emphasize either side alone. The traditional theory of "keeping in good health by quietness" puts quietness in the first place, but it does not oppose movement. It just thinks that the main aspect of health preservation should be the cultivation of mind. Through the cultivation of mind, we can change our view of the world, get rid of the fetters of fame and fortune, and keep our mood in a quiet and peaceful state all the time. Secondly, we should exercise and tonify appropriately.
In the eyes of many people, exercise is to lose weight and shape a beautiful figure. Actually, it is not. Sports include a lot of knowledge. In fact, keeping in good health is a great knowledge of sports. Exercise is used to exercise the body, so as to activate the bones and muscles, regulate the breath, calm the heart and soothe the nerves, dredge the meridians, dredge the qi and blood, and regulate the viscera, so as to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body and prolonging life. This method of health preservation is called exercise health preservation, also known as traditional fitness.
"Moving is uncertain" is our traditional view of health and fitness. As early as thousands of years ago, sports have been widely used as one of the important means of fitness and disease prevention. Traditional Chinese medicine calls essence, qi and spirit "three treasures", which are closely related to human life. Exercise and health preservation firmly grasp these three links, adjust consciousness and nourish the soul; Breathe air by heart, adjust breathing and practice qi, promote qi and blood circulation, and circulate all over the body; Through the movement of the body, bones and joints, the meridians of the whole body are dredged and the whole body is nourished. If so, the body has both form and spirit, the pulse is smooth, the inside and outside are harmonious, and the viscera are harmonious, so that the body can reach the state of "Yin and Yang are secrets", thus improving health and maintaining vigorous vitality.
Zoologists have found that wild elephants can live to be 200 years old. Once captured and put into the zoo, although their living conditions are much better than those in the wild, they can't live to 80 years old. Rabbits can live an average of 15 years, while rabbits raised in cages lead a "superior" life, with an average life span of only 4-5 years; The life span of wild boar is twice that of domestic pig. So why do wild animals live longer than domestic animals? It is very important that wild animals often run around in order to find food, defend themselves, avoid enemies and get rid of bad weather, and get good exercise. So handed down from generation to generation, the physique is getting better and better, and the life expectancy is naturally longer than that of domestic animals. The same is true of people. People who often take part in physical exercise will live longer. This shows a truth: exercise is the basis of health and longevity.
Modern scientific research has proved that regular and moderate physical exercise has the following benefits to the body:
1, can promote blood circulation, improve the nutritional status of the brain, promote the metabolism of brain cells, give full play to various functions of the brain, be conducive to the health of the nervous system, and help to maintain exuberant emotions and stable emotions.
2, make the myocardium developed, contract strongly, promote blood circulation, enhance the vitality of the heart and the respiratory function of the lungs, and improve the peripheral circulation. 3, increase the strength of diaphragm and abdominal muscles, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, prevent food from staying in the digestive tract, and facilitate digestion and absorption. 4. It can promote and improve the blood circulation of internal organs, which is beneficial to the physiological function of organs.
5, can improve the body's immune function and endocrine function, so that the human body's vitality is more vigorous.

Liver health, dynamic and static.
As we all know, the aging and pathological changes of human body are mainly caused by the aging and weakness of internal organs. Our ancestors have long believed that human life activities have the characteristics of sports, so they actively advocate sports health care. There is a philosophical saying in Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals, which emphasizes the importance of sports to life. In the traditional sense, there are Tai Ji Chuan, Baduanjin and Wuqinxi. Generally speaking, the combination of rigidity and flexibility is difficult to achieve, and it takes some time for the study permit. There are many sports in the modern sense, such as running, gymnastics, swimming and so on. There are also many sports and fitness equipment, such as dumbbells and tensioners.
The combination of dynamic and static has a great relationship with liver health. Life lies in movement and life lies in stillness, which are two completely different views in the theory of health preservation. Without movement, there is no life, and movement is the original attribute of matter, so the view that life lies in movement is reasonable.
But one of the most important principles of sports health care is the principle of moderation. Moderation means that the amount of exercise should not be too large or too small. We can use some indicators to estimate the amount of exercise, such as heart rate and pulse. We all know that the heart rate of a normal person is equal to the number of pulses per minute, and we can determine the heart rate by counting the number of pulses per minute. The heart rate of normal adults after stopping exercise should not exceed 140 beats/min. Normal elderly people should not exercise more than 120 times/minute. If you eat sweetly, sleep sweetly, feel stable, relaxed and energetic after exercise, this is the performance of combining static and dynamic and proper exercise. On the other hand, if diet is not considered after exercise, dizziness, headache, fatigue, sweating and mental fatigue indicate that the amount of exercise is large and should be reduced step by step.
The combination of dynamic and static has a great relationship with liver health. Take a rest after exercise, exercise after rest, and have regular activities and rest. The loss includes two aspects: Otawa is not enough. "Overwork makes you sick" is the performance of going too far, and "laziness makes you old" is the performance of not exercising. Both movements should be moderate. The so-called moderation is to decide the movement according to one's gender, age, physical strength, etc., and not to exceed one's tolerance. The correct method of keeping in good health is to move quietly, move quietly, and move comfortably. If we adhere to these health preserving concepts for a long time, it is very important to maintain the health of various organs, especially the liver. The liver is like wind, and it is happy for spring. Therefore, it is extremely beneficial to go out to play with family or friends when spring is blooming. Spring outing can not only entertain the soul, but also relax the muscles and activate the collaterals, so that the blood gas is smooth, which coincides with the liver's love for Shu Da, thus achieving the purpose of protecting the liver and keeping in good health.
There is a good way to exercise, which varies according to the illness.
Asthma: running, ball games, cycling, etc. Can induce asthma, medically known as exercise asthma, and swimming, baseball, skiing and other sports can improve symptoms, especially swimming, because swimming will not reduce the moisture in the respiratory tract because of the temperature rise. At the same time, horizontal exercise during swimming reduces the burden of respiratory tract, so it is conducive to the transformation of diseases in a good direction.
Hypertension: Suitable for walking, cycling, swimming and other sports. These movements are dynamic isotonic movements, which can cause vasodilation and contraction through repeated contraction of muscles all over the body, and promote blood pressure drop.
Heart disease: Healthy people should do a lot of exercise to improve heart function, and the pulse should reach at least 135 beats/min for 15 minutes. If you have heart disease, you should be cautious, and choose the form and amount of exercise according to the degree of heart function damage. Generally speaking, patients with mild heart disease with primary and secondary cardiac insufficiency can take exercise such as walking, jogging, playing Tai Ji Chuan, medical gymnastics, etc., and the pulse during exercise is limited to 104- 120 times/minute; Patients with grade 3 or 4 cardiac insufficiency or frequent angina pectoris should not take physical activities, mainly rest, and can also do some small protective activities such as Qigong, the principle is not to increase the number of heartbeats.
Diabetes: Clinicians report that many patients with mild diabetes can recover as long as they insist on physical exercise and pay attention to diet control. Exercise starts with light activities and gradually increases the intensity of exercise, such as walking, boating and running. But don't exercise after insulin injection, before meals or when you have angina pectoris to prevent hypoglycemia or aggravate complications.
Obesity: Walking, doing aerobic exercise, swimming, cycling and other moderate exercise methods are helpful to lose weight. Take a walk for example. It will be effective if it starts 45 minutes after a meal and lasts for 20 minutes at a speed of 4.8 kilometers per hour. It will be better if you add it again 2-3 hours (about 20 minutes) after meals.
Urinary incontinence: About 10% of women suffer from this unspeakable disease, and reasonable physical activity is helpful for rehabilitation. You can choose methods to strengthen pelvic muscles. The steps are as follows: first do pelvic contraction 10 second, relax 10 second, and then do contraction 10 second ... so on, do it 90- 160 times a day.
Sexual hypofunction: Both men and women can enhance sexual desire through exercise, and it is easier to reach orgasm, thus obtaining sexual satisfaction. Generally, you can achieve this goal by exercising for 45 minutes three times a week. Excessive exercise will reduce sexual desire.
