As the saying goes: "Don't be greedy for three more colors, don't love one more food", this is a health mantra handed down from ancient times, and it can't help but remind people that people often say that "breakfast should be eaten well, lunch should be full, and dinner should be eaten less", but why can't the "three more colors" in the proverb?
Don't love a more food
In ancient times, "one watch" refers to the time period of about 7-9 o'clock in the evening, when people had dinner early and basically fell asleep after dark.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the human body's internal organs and kidney meridians have a specific time to open and close, and after entering the "one watch" hour in the evening, the body's metabolism slows down and the digestion and absorption function is weakened. If you eat a lot of food at this time, especially high-calorie and high-protein foods, it will be difficult to be fully digested and absorbed by the stomach and intestines, and it will inevitably damage the function of the spleen and stomach in the long run.
The sun rises and the sun sets, the ancient people followed the laws of nature, but just after eating at night, the adults in the family often do not ask the children to go to bed immediately, but will remind the children to wait for a while before going to sleep, the purpose is to let the food in the stomach digest, so as not to make a stomach trouble.
In contrast, modern people not only eat later and more heartily at dinner, but also like to overeat before bed, and they can't stop for a moment. This lifestyle seems to be wealthy, but in fact it is depleting the body's health capital little by little.
According to incomplete surveys, nearly seventy percent of young people have the habit of eating supper frequently, and nearly sixty percent of them said that "it doesn't hurt to eat more than one supper". As everyone knows, long-term indulgence in late-night gluttony is bound to cause a huge burden on the stomach and intestines.
Modern life is fast-paced, and adjusting your eating habits is not easy. But for the sake of health, we should still keep in mind the ancient adage "don't love one more food" and try to avoid overeating late at night. If you really can't suppress the hunger pangs of night hunger, it is better to drink some plain water or eat some easily digestible fruits to go to bed, and never eat and drink too much.
Don't be greedy for three more colors
From 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. the next day, it is known as the "three watches" period.
Nighttime is the peak of the body's metabolism, and according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the liver and gallbladder meridians can be smoothed to help expel toxins. The function of the liver to store blood can be exerted at night, and the blood flows back to the liver, which is conducive to the purification of the liver.
If you stay up too late, it is easy to lead to a strong liver fire and insufficient liver blood. In the long run, liver function is gradually impaired, and it may also lead to cholecystitis, hepatitis, gallstones and other diseases.
After a tiring day, the body urgently needs to get sleep to regain energy. If you lose sleep or engage in excessively physically demanding activities during the "three watches", you will feel dizzy and unable to concentrate the next day. Scientific studies have also shown that 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. is the best window for the body to get quality sleep.
Of course, occasionally doing some moderate activities during the "three watches" will not cause great harm to the body. The key is to master the rhythm, not to overdo it, and to know how to stop in moderation.
Balancing work, life and physical condition, it is necessary to enjoy life appropriately and to think about physical health. Get enough sleep and take appropriate regimens to achieve the unity of productivity, quality of life and good health.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine health, it is the best time for husband and wife to live "intimately".
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes "conforming to nature" and believes that all health regimens must follow the laws of nature. Married life is no exception, and choosing the right time to do it can achieve the purpose of health care.
Traditional Chinese medicine puts forward the view of "seven losses and eight benefits", believing that a reasonable sex life can enhance physical fitness and improve emotions, which is called "eight benefits", but under the wrong time and mentality, it may also cause different degrees of damage, which is called "seven losses".
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that a person's life can be divided into multiple stages, and each stage has different physical and mental conditions.
At the age of 20, he is in the prime of life, energetic, doing what he can, and living as a couple once a day is acceptable.
At the age of 30, there is enough qi and blood, and once every eight days can relieve the needs without harming the body.
In middle age, between the ages of fifty and sixty, the frequency should be reduced to once every two or three weeks, which can not only protect sperm and sperm, but also prevent diseases.
After entering old age, the number of couples should be greatly reduced, but it should not be completely banned, so as not to cause physical and mental depression.
In the warm spring, yin and yang are harmonized, and qi and blood circulate, which is the most suitable time of the year. In the scorching heat of midsummer, it is easy to consume too much energy, so it should not be excessive. After the autumn is high and cool, yin and yang are harmonized again, which is also more suitable. In the cold winter, the frequency should be reduced to strengthen the foundation.
The physiological state of the day varies. When the sun is in full swing, the human body needs to rest, when the yang will subside, the yin will rise, the mental state is relatively peaceful, the mood is relaxed, Chinese medicine believes that the harmony of yin and yang at this time is conducive to the fit of the soul. There is also a view that having sex early in the morning or in the afternoon can depend on the individual's constitution.
In addition, eating and living can also affect the couple's life. For example, drinking too much alcohol can make people feel sluggish. After a full meal, the stomach and intestines are still being digested intensely, and it is not suitable to start married life immediately.
