Uncle Li, 60, is a retired teacher, but he is physically tough. This is thanks to a regimen he has adhered to over the years – every morning after waking up, he eats five dried longan, rain or shine, without stopping.
A few days ago, Uncle Li went to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination. After the medical examination report came out, he was a little apprehensive, after all, most of his peers had some chronic diseases to a greater or lesser extent.
However, he found that his indicators were within the normal range.
"You're more like you're 40 years old!" Dr. Wang said, "You must be very health-conscious, right?"
Uncle Li smiled and said, "It's nothing special, it's just that I insist on eating five dried longan every morning, and I've been eating it for three years."
"I see!" Dr. Wang suddenly realized, "Longan is a good thing!"
"It's rich in a variety of nutrients that are great for the body. I see that you eat longan, there are three main benefits:
- Nourishes qi and blood. Especially for the elderly, eating longan can improve the condition of qi deficiency and weakness.
- Calm your nerves and help you sleep. The γ-aminobutyric acid and tryptophan in longan, which have a calming effect and can help improve sleep quality, are effective for insomnia and dreams.
- Nourishes the spleen and stomach. Longan is warm and sweet, and has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach. Eating longan often can improve digestion and absorption.
However, there are some tips for eating longan. For example, dried longan is best soaked in advance to make it softer and easier to digest; The best effect is to eat on an empty stomach, and it is easy to stagnate the stomach after eating; Just take a few capsules a day, and don't overdo it. "
"It seems that in the past three years, you have eaten longan in the right way!"
Uncle Li listened to Dr. Wang's words and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect that I would have so much knowledge in a health regimen I chose at random!" It seems that my hobby is really unintentional!"
Dr. Wang said with a smile, "Health care is about conforming to nature, and it accumulates over time. The fact that you can persevere for three years shows that perseverance is extraordinary. "
"In fact, in traditional Chinese medicine health preservation, there are many good dietary products like longan, such as wolfberry, lotus seed, yam, etc. They either replenish qi and blood, or strengthen the spleen and stomach, or benefit the essence, each with its own strengths. "
Uncle Li nodded thoughtfully: "So, my habit is really a 'good prescription'!" In the past, I always thought that health care was a matter for the elderly, but now it seems that it is never too late to start. "
"Like you said, it's all about perseverance!"
In the fast-paced modern life, many people are anxious about their health, but they often can't find a simple and effective way to maintain their health. As everyone knows, the true meaning of health preservation is often hidden in daily life.
In the face of the increasingly severe health situation, perhaps we can start with Longan and explore the "easy-to-reach" health secrets around us.
True health preservation does not lie in the blind pursuit of "secret recipes" and "miracle medicines", but in carefully managing every seemingly ordinary day. or five longan, or a bowl of wolfberry, although ordinary, as long as you insist, you can moisten things silently.
We also need to achieve "three yang": diet and health, eat less and eat more, and mix meat and vegetables; Daily life, early bedtime and early rise, moderate exercise; Spiritual health, optimism and open-mindedness, self-cultivation.
Uncle Li's three-year-old "Longan Sutra" is the best interpretation of this ancient saying. Let's take him as an example, start from the details of life, take care of our health, and harvest a more wonderful and long life!
