The Wei and Jin Dynasty poet Ruan Ji wrote: "The unique art of prolonging life can comfort my heart." ”
From ancient times to the present, everyone hopes that they can stay away from disasters and diseases, and live a long life.
But longevity is not a destiny, nor is it accidental, but thanks to the way of health.
"The Sect of Doctors" "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" tells us that in fact, the world's most advanced health care is only 6 words!
1
Timely time
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing: Lingshu" has a cloud: "People are born with the qi of heaven and earth, and the law of the four times is completed." ”
Yin and yang at the four seasons are the root of all things, and they are born in heaven and earth, which is correspondingly compatible with the changes of the four seasons.
Only by conforming to the changes of the four natural laws can the qi in the body be smooth, so that there is no disease and no disaster, and the body is healthy.
In the spring of March, everything recovers, brings forth the new, and is thriving.
At this time, people should lie down at night and get up early to help the growth of yang qi, and also follow the spring qi to stretch the body and enjoy the spirit, so as not to damage the liver.
In summer and March, heaven and earth are intertwined, the branches are luxuriant, the days are long and the nights are short, and the yang is prosperous and the yin is declining.
It is advisable to go to bed late and get up early, make up for the yin qi, nourish the yang qi, and the main heart of summer, when the mood is calm, go to annoyance and dryness, and avoid great sorrow and joy.
In the hot and rainy season, it is necessary to exercise reasonably, dispel dampness and keep fit, and also eat lightly to prevent heatstroke.
In autumn and March, everything is mature, calm and convergent, the sky is high and the wind is urgent, and the earth is clear.
People should go to bed early and get up early to maintain mental tranquility, reduce the impact of killing qi on the body, and at the same time, they should also moisten yin and dryness, stretch lung qi, and properly subsidize autumn fat, so as to lay a good foundation for winter.
In winter and March, the vitality is closed, the yin is prosperous and the yang is declining, the rain and snow are flying, and the sky is cold and the ground is freezing.
We must go to bed early and get up late, not disturb the yang qi, but also conform to the winter weather, focus on nourishing Tibet, keep warm and keep out the cold, nourish the kidney qi, and spend the winter healthy.
There is an old saying: "Spring is born and summer is long, autumn is harvested and winter is hidden, this great scripture of the way of heaven." ”
There is no way to do it, there is no nourishment, go with the flow, take care of the body, live a regular life, and eat modestly, which is the secret to enjoying the days.

placid temperament
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing: Su Wen" has a saying: "Quiet is deep, and dry is dead." ”
Those who are good at health care are the best health care, in fact, there are two words: meditation.
Long-term anxiety, impatience, and worry...... Invisibly, it will crush a person.
Only by calming down and abandoning distracting thoughts can we reduce internal friction and make the true qi internal and full of energy.
Rule 1: Don't be entangled with sesame trivial matters.
Rule 2, except for life and death, everything else is a small thing.
Although these two rules are not the methods of health and wellness, they are the mysteries of meditation and calmness, which are better than countless elixirs.
All diseases are caused by emotions, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and if they pass, they will hurt the body.
If you can't see it, you can't think through it, you can't let it go, you think about it all day long, and you are impetuous, which will only harm you.
The heart is free from obstacles, and only by being the master of emotions can we avoid all diseases.
No matter how difficult the situation is, no matter how complicated things are, we must also guard against anger and rashness, think less and worry less, brake quietly, and move forward lightly.
On weekdays, you can also sit and meditate, exercise and relax, read and write, and play with flowers...... Maintain a forgetfulness machine.
"Huainanzi" also said: "Those who are quiet and full of the sun are strong, and those who are restless and consumed by the day are old." ”
With a quiet mind, look down on the ups and downs of life, the body and mind are one foot wider, the illness will retreat a foot, and on the road to aging, the younger you are.

Less greedy
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing: Su Wen" said: "Tranquility and nothingness, true qi comes from it, the spirit is guarded, and the illness is safe?" ”
If you are indifferent and have less desires, righteousness and vitality are obedient and harmonious, and you are full of energy, you will stay away from diseases.
In life, desire is instinct, and control is ability.
Many people live unhappy lives and are not at peace with their bodies and minds, not because they have less, but because they want too much.
Reduce your desires and control yourself, so as not to add unnecessary burdens to your body and mind, so that you can live a long and healthy life.
One is to reduce lust.
People who are deeply in love and clinging to lust will not be happy for a long time, and they will be tired.
The heart is clear, not indulging in lust, not ending lust, just right, accumulating essence and full concentration, in order to live for the rest of the world.
The second is to reduce material desires.
If you are full of energy, you have no strengths, and you can be comfortable in the humble room, and you can laugh for the rest of your life.
If you are coerced by desires, you will be anxious and miserable and die in a thousand houses and thousands of houses.
No more than three meals a day, no more than three feet of sleep at night, not enslaved by material things, not controlled by desires.
The spirit is relaxed, the body functions are in the best state, the natural immunity is strong, and the disease will also retreat.
The third is to reduce selfish desires.
People who are selfish and only think about themselves in everything and everywhere are people who are blessed with short lives.
Learn to reduce selfish desires, think about others, give alms, do good, and cultivate virtue.
As Confucius said, "Great virtue must have its longevity", only in this way can we carry all things and prolong life.
Bai Juyi has a poem: "Self-quieting its heart prolongs life, and there is no need to seek the spirit of material growth." ”
Excessive desires and excessive demands are the way to take misfortune and harm and good fortune.
Meditate and prolong life, strengthen the body with less desires, let go of greed, reduce human desires, and get a point of favor, in order to gain insight into the true meaning of longevity.
