How to do a good job in health preservation, a major project related to life and health? First, we must follow the health preservation principle of "combining movement and static". The first is to be quiet and nourishing. Deng Tietao believes that the heart is the main god, which can control the spirit and emotions, maintain the balance of the internal and external environment of the body, and ensure the health of the body. In addition to practicing calligraphy to nourish the mind, Deng Tietao is also accustomed to meditation, meditation and other methods of meditation, which is called meditation and relaxation. To grasp the main points of meditation, sit firmly on the bench with one leg crossed, relax the upper body, keep the head upright, close the eyes naturally, place the hands in front of the abdomen and gently hold each other, breathe as usual, and sit quietly for about 30 minutes. He also reminded the elderly that they do not have to cross their legs to meditate and nourish their minds, and if they can't do it, they can sit cross-legged on one leg. After sitting quietly for a long time, the qi and blood are easy to stagnate for a short time, so you can massage and dredge the qi and blood of the limbs, and grasp the time according to the state. Meditation can be done in the morning, before going to bed, or during the journey, to calm the mind. You can't just think about things at all, even if it's good to sit in a daze. Secondly, life lies in movement, and "movement generates yang". Mr. Deng Tietao has been fond of Baduanjin all his life (the whole set of movements is soft and continuous, loose and tight), insisted on practicing every morning, and improved the traditional Baduanjin into a simple and easy-to-learn "Deng Tietao Baduanjin". Learn the secrets taught by Mr. Baduan Jin Deng, you can take the natural breathing method at the beginning, and after the movements are proficient, gradually adopt abdominal breathing, and finally achieve the organic combination of movement, breathing and thought. In addition to Baduanjin and Taijiquan, Deng Tietao also has a habit of taking walks. Mr. Deng will also take a walk around the community every afternoon after a nap to "collect yang and help kidneys", and when he is in a good state, he will also practice standing pile gong after returning home. Even if it rains, Deng Tietao will exercise on the stairs. Second, the diet and health should be "omnivorous". Eating, drinking, and Lazar is something that everyone has to do in life, and Mr. Deng Tietao is often asked, "What do you usually eat to live a long life?" His answer couldn't be simpler: "Omnivorous." ” What is "omnivorous"? - "Eat modestly, live regularly, be calm, and live a long life." Mr. Deng usually does not taboo food, his family cooks everything and thinks it is delicious, and he likes to taste local specialties when he travels on business. The basic situation of Mr. Deng Tietao's diet is as follows: Three meals a day are regular and quantitative, insist on seven minutes full at each meal, and usually like light and easy-to-digest food. The staple food is mainly rice, likes to eat vegetables and fruits, with a certain amount of potatoes, oats, buckwheat, beans, meat prefers to eat fish, as well as chicken, shrimp, eggs, drink a glass of milk every day, sometimes eat some red dates, try to balance nutrition. "Health care is not advanced knowledge, good daily life habits, can be simple, convenient, effective, do not cost money, to achieve no illness, less illness, health and longevity." Deng Tietao said. 1. Do the drumming of the sky, the ears of the two ears, and the pillow every day Mingtian Drum: Put your palm on the ear hole, put your hand on the back of your head, and pluck the back of your head with your index finger and middle finger for 50 times. It can prevent cerebral dementia, slow down cochlear degeneration, prevent neurasthenia, dizziness and headache. Satoshi two ears: Insert the index fingers of both hands into the ear holes, rotate them forward first, then backwards, and then suddenly let go for 50 times. It can maintain hearing and prevent tinnitus and deafness in the elderly (without organic lesions). Hit the pillow: bend the five fingers of both hands slightly, use the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger as the main finger, and lightly hit the back occipital part back and forth 50 times. It can effectively improve sleep and assist in the treatment of cervical spondylosis, headache and nasal congestion. 2. Comb your hair frequently Use a horn comb every day to comb your hair 100 times after getting up, which can massage the scalp and head nerves, improve blood circulation in the brain, and exercise arm strength to prevent frozen shoulder. 3. Alternate hot and cold baths For decades, Deng Tietao insisted on alternating hot and cold water baths, and so far his skin has maintained good elasticity, rarely age spots, and can also help blood circulation in the blood vessels of the whole body. He reminded the elderly and patients with high blood pressure to pay attention to the temperature difference between hot and cold water should not be too large at the beginning, otherwise accidents are likely to occur, and the temperature difference can only be increased after the body adapts. Professor Zou Xu, vice president of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, described the way of traditional Chinese medicine health preservation that Mr. Deng devoted himself to studying in addition to diagnosis and treatment, with a total of 24 points, which can be summarized into four major aspects: nourishing morality, nourishing the heart, nourishing the spleen and stomach and nourishing the kidneys. Virtue ranks first. Noble morality can make people calm and cheerful, so that the human body can communicate qi and blood, which is conducive to disease prevention and health care and longevity. The second is to nourish the heart. "Smile, a hundred years less". Be a person with hobbies, such as calligraphy and music, always close your eyes and recuperate, don't stare at your phone from time to time, and ensure adequate sleep. The third is to nourish the spleen and stomach. Eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits. Eating miscellaneous should not be biased, absorbing rich trace elements as much as possible, and Cantonese people should eat less cold. To nourish the spleen, Deng Lao began to practice "Baduan Jin" after the age of 50; Regular abdominal rubbing can also improve the stomach and intestines, 50 times a day. The fourth is to nourish the kidneys. Take a walk in the afternoon to help the kidneys, the sun at 6-10 a.m. helps to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, and the sun at 4-5 p.m. helps to replenish calcium. On sunny and sunny days, he will take a leisurely walk around the open space downstairs at noon (11:00-12:00) almost every day before lunch, especially in the sunny summer, the degree of exercise is mastered to feel warm and comfortable, and slightly sweating. Why should we advocate the middle-aged and elderly "midday walk and yang health regimen"? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that noon is the time of the day when the yang energy is the most vigorous, and the body's own yang energy has also reached a relatively vigorous state of the day. In addition, when you take a walk, your back is facing the sun, and the yang energy of your body will be vigorous. Therefore, walking in the warm and bright sun at noon can promote the flow of qi and blood in the human body, speed up metabolism, and invigorate the yang energy of the human body. However, the elderly gradually lack yang qi in the body, and are prone to symptoms such as fear of cold, fear of wind, pale complexion, shortness of breath and fatigue, fatigue, lack of energy, soreness and cold pain in the waist and knees, frequent urination, and nocturia. This kind of walking method can improve the physical condition of the elderly. Of course, a midday walk is also suitable for young people. In this case, young people should also go for a walk outdoors for half an hour to an hour at noon to improve the above symptoms by promoting the circulation of qi and blood and invigorating yang qi, so as to improve work efficiency and quality of life. The noon walk is suitable for people with yang deficiency, long-term illness and weakness, lack of yang qi, and sleepiness all day long. However, it is not suitable to choose this method for people who already have yin deficiency and yang heat constitution and some people who have yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity such as jin fluid loss due to various reasons. Generally speaking, if there are no special contraindications, it is suitable for the elderly, young children, and people with weak constitution. In the selection of the walking season, Chinese medicine says "spring and summer to nourish yang", so this method is suitable for spring and summer. You can bookmark it now and implement it next year.
