Living according to the laws of nature is good for the body and mind
Xiaoice started her business at the age of 19, and the huge work pressure not only made her skin condition worse, but also often felt back pain. Recalling the previous days, Xiaoice couldn't help but sigh: "Staying up late let 20-year-old me drag a 40-year-old body!" In order to improve the current situation, Xiaoice began to learn Chinese health knowledge and explored a set of "lazy health regimen methods". She would get up from 5 to 7 o'clock every day, and drink a cup of tea to smooth her stomach. In addition, she also loves to meditate, so that her body and mind can be well relaxed without leaving home.
In the afternoon, Xiaoice will read a favorite book, drink a cup of Shenshi (15-17) tea, and pat the eight voids to relax. At the same time, she insists on going to bed before 11:00 p.m. every day. "After doing it for a while, I feel like I'm back in the 20-year-old mentality. Xiaoice said happily.

In this regard, Director Zhu Ling affirmed, "Traditional Chinese medicine calls this health preservation method 'Twelve Hour Health Preservation Method', which embodies the traditional Chinese medicine health preservation idea of 'Taoism is natural, and nature and man are one', that is, to follow the changes of natural laws to live and live. ”
Zhu Ling suggested that after getting up from 5 to 7 o'clock in the morning, you can drink a glass of warm water or tea to promote intestinal peristalsis, "At this time, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the body is in the order of the large intestine meridian, and the large intestine meridian can help the human body detoxify." The so-called 'large intestine peristalsis, defecation and intestinal toxin'. Zhu Ling also introduced the importance of drinking water from a professional point of view, and told everyone to drink more water in the afternoon.

Adequate sleep is conducive to the growth of yang energy
Zhu Ling emphasized that sleep is very important, especially a good nap. She suggested that it is best to go to bed before 11 o'clock at night, "because the time of the child (23 o'clock to 1 o'clock the next day) is the time of the Shaoyang meridian, this time is the time when the yin energy is the most vigorous, and it is also the time when the yang energy is first born, and sufficient sleep is conducive to the growth of yang energy."
At the same time, Zhu Ling also suggested that everyone should pay attention to the lunch break, because noon (11 o'clock to 13 o'clock) is the most vigorous time for the human body's yang energy, and it is also the time when yin energy is gradually born.

But we also know that the pace of contemporary life is so fast, it is indeed difficult to achieve regular work and rest, how can we maintain health in this situation? Xiaoice shared his experience based on his own personal experience, "First, it is very important to make up for sleep and avoid staying up late continuously. Second, you can use your leisure time to do some simple exercises, such as stretching and 'beating the eight voids', which can relax the body. Third, the three meals must be timed. After listening to Xiaoice's story, Zhu Ling expressed her appreciation for her approach and emphasized that health preservation is inseparable from "self-discipline".
Zhu Ling said that there are also differences in health care in different seasons, and personal life can follow the sunshine time in nature, which is conducive to the growth and longevity of yang energy. "Generally, in spring and summer, we advocate that the sleep time should not be too long, because the sunshine time is relatively long at this time, and we need to move more and exercise more to promote the growth and longevity of yang energy. Then the sunshine time in autumn and winter is shorter, and we advocate more rest and recuperation, so as to facilitate the convergence and latent yang energy. Zhu Ling pointed out that "yang energy" is the driving force of the human body, and the energy of daily work is supported by yang energy.
"In fact, regular work and rest are very beneficial to women's health, and adequate sleep is not only conducive to the improvement of women's skin, but also conducive to women's physical recovery and reduce the occurrence of gynecological diseases. Zhu Ling said.
