Eat on time – Eating properly is the foundation of good health. In TCM theory, diet is an important part of regulating the body. While eating regularly, we also need to pay attention to the quality and variety of food. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and herbs are the basic elements for maintaining good health.

In addition, it is also necessary to avoid overeating and maintain a restrained diet.
Go to bed on time – A good night's sleep is essential for your body's recovery and repair. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, a night's sleep is the best time for the liver to repair. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a regular sleep schedule. Try to fall asleep before 11 p.m. and ensure that you get 7-8 hours of sleep each night so that the liver can be fully repaired. Avoiding excessive eating and drinking before bedtime, and avoiding strenuous exercise and stimulating activities can help you fall into a deep sleep.
Exercise on time – Proper exercise is an important part of maintaining good health. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes "exercise for health", exercise can promote blood circulation and enhance immunity. Choose the exercise method that suits you according to your personal situation, such as walking, tai chi, yoga, etc., and insist on it for more than 30 minutes a day, which can play a role in regulating qi and blood and strengthening the body. At the same time, arrange the exercise time reasonably and not too intensely to avoid excessive fatigue.
Drink water regularly – Adequate water intake helps with the body's detoxification and metabolism. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that water is the foundation of life and that maintaining water balance is very important for maintaining the normal functioning of the body. It is recommended to drink 6-8 glasses of warm water per day and avoid cold or excessive alcohol consumption. During the summer heat, it is important to drink the right amount of water and avoid dehydration. In addition, according to the individual's physique, you can choose to drink some tea, such as green tea and chrysanthemum tea, which is conducive to clearing heat and detoxifying.
Relax on time – Modern people are often in a high-pressure work and life situation, and long-term tension can lead to physical and mental fatigue.
