Health and sickness The World Health Organization’s definition of health: “Health is a state of physical and mental well-being and good adaptability, not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” This is what people mean by physical and mental health, which means that a person is completely healthy when he or she is sound in all four aspects: physical health, mental health, good social adjustment and moral health. What is health? The World Health Organization has proposed ten criteria of health: (1) full of energy, able to cope with the pressure of daily life and work without excessive stress. (2) optimistic, positive attitude, willing to take responsibility, not fussy about everything. (3) Good at rest and sleep well. (4) Strong resilience, able to adapt to various changes in the environment. (5) Able to resist common colds and infectious diseases. (6) Proper weight, even stature, head, shoulder and arm position coordination when standing. (7) Bright eyes, keen reactions, no inflammation of eyelids. (8) Clean teeth, no cavities, no pain; gums are normal in color and do not bleed. (9) Hair is shiny, no dandruff. (10) Muscles, skin is elastic, and walking is easy and strong. Dr. Lester has developed a set of concise, healthy lifestyle: (1) 7-8 hours of sleep daily. (2) Have a regular breakfast. (3) Eat fewer and more frequent meals (up to 4-6 meals per day). (4) Do not smoke. (5) Do not drink or drink a small amount of low alcohol. (6) Weight control (no less than 10% of standard weight and no more than 20%). (7) Regular exercise (the amount of exercise is appropriate for your body). In addition, physical examination at least once a year. Dr. Bresno points out that it applies to people of all ages, and especially to people whose body functions are in a declining stage. If you can follow the above 7 habits to live, then it will benefit you for life. In general, people over the age of 55 who can follow the above 6 to 7 habits to live, will live 7-10 years longer than people who only follow three or fewer habits. Seven Criteria for Judging Your Health Chinese medicine has very clear and detailed guidelines for judging health, but for the general public, it is even more important to provide some practical and convenient items to observe. Therefore, here is a list of seven principles of living that you can use to determine your own health status. In order to prevent and cure early. The first one: a sleep until dawn. This is a sign of balanced heart energy. The heart is the master of the gods, and when the gods work during the day, they are spiritual; when they sleep at night, they are latent. But the normal performance of the gods also requires the coordination of the five viscera and six internal organs. Those who have problems sleeping are sick. Either the heart and kidneys are not intertwined, or the stomach is not in harmony, or liver fire on the inflammation, or sickness and pain, or internal disturbance of evil, all about the gods. Therefore, there are many ways to tranquilize the mind, not just taking tranquilizer tablets. Generally, no matter what the disease is, when it reaches the stage of serious illness, there is insomnia, which actually indicates that the mind and soul are injured. No matter what the disease is, if the more you treat it, the more you sleep, it goes without saying that the treatment is right. If the more you treat the more you can’t sleep, then you might as well stop this treatment. The second: is the appetite is normal. The so-called normal appetite is not overeating, is a very normal amount to eat down very full, not eat a lot, do not feel full, want to eat again. This is the normal function of the spleen and stomach of the middle jiao of the back of the day. Also related to the liver, gallbladder, large and small intestine. As the saying goes: people are iron, rice is steel, a meal is not hungry. Why do some patients not want to eat? Because the spleen and stomach are injured. What is the spleen and stomach? It is the foundation of our life in this world. If we can’t eat, the process of life will be in trouble. Regardless of any treatment measures, it is right to make the patient’s appetite better and better. Otherwise, it is wrong to go against life. The third one: is to wake up every morning first thing is to go to the toilet and eat breakfast only after going to the toilet. After a good night’s sleep, the person rests, but the body does not rest. What is it doing? Detoxification. Poison is discharged from the urine, from the stool, from the pores. Therefore, when you wake up in the morning and go to the toilet, you can empty the toxic gas stored overnight, so that your body is naturally healthy. Note that the time mentioned here is the morning wake up, not the middle of the night. Some people have to get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet to urinate more than once a day. What is this? It is a deficiency of kidney energy and cannot transform water and liquid, which is commonly known as kidney deficiency, a deficiency of the innate essence. The innate essence governs our life span and is the result of our parents’ essence. Regardless of any disease, if you originally did not have to get up in the middle of the night to urinate, but in the course of treatment you have to get up at night to urinate, that means your kidney qi is injured. Do you dare to continue to receive this treatment that hurts the kidney qi and compromises your life expectancy? And vice versa, if the more you treat the less you get up at night to urinate, then congratulations, because you have found the right doctor and used the right treatment method. The fourth: is to urinate three to seven times a day, the volume of urine is large and the color should be light yellow. Here I am talking about the premise of drinking water normally, making sure to drink at least 1 liter of water every day. And, drink a large glass of water every day before and after bedtime. The urine is discharged, indicating that the kidneys are functioning normally. If you keep urinating, then you are a kidney patient. Most commonly, the kidney yang is insufficient, the qi is unfavorable, and the water cannot get qi, so of course it has to be discharged. The result is that you drink a lot of water, but it is all excreted and not utilized as it should be. Therefore, the patient appears to be Yin deficiency (water and liquid deficiency), but in fact it is Yang’s insufficient qi-transformation, and it is necessary to support Yang. Fifth: All year round, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, no matter where you are, you will always have a cold head and body and warm hands and feet. This is manifested as the sufficiency of yang qi. But now many people in society are always cold hands and feet, cold in the summer, more cold in winter, used to it, but do not think the disease, as usual, desperately drink herbal tea, drink ice drinks. I do not know that this is a signal that the internal yang energy of the organism is insufficient, telling you that you should need to take care of yang energy and not harm it anymore. On the other hand, experiencing changes in the warmth and coolness of the extremities can help recognize the state of the body. For example, it doesn’t matter if you are sick, whether it’s a tumor, a heart disease, or a lung disease, it doesn’t matter what it is, you definitely need to get treatment, either chemotherapy, or western medicine, or open surgery, or take Chinese medicine, or acupuncture, any treatment, if the more you treat your hands and feet, the colder they get, it means you are on the wrong path, you have chosen the wrong treatment plan. You are on the wrong path, stop quickly. Otherwise, the disease will only get worse. If you take the medicine, originally the feet are cold, and then become warm warm, on behalf of the treatment is correct, no need to go elsewhere to seek medical treatment, labor and expense. The sixth: men and women have, called the morning Yang reaction. When a woman gets up in the morning, her breasts are very sensitive, and the man’s penis will be erect, also called the morning beat reaction. Usually men will have a normal reaction when they reach their teens and twenties, but not when they reach their fifties and sixties. Because it indicates that your body’s yang energy is sufficient. If you are taking drugs to lower your blood pressure, blood sugar, or cholesterol, triglyceride, any of the western drugs that belong to lower whatsoever, as soon as you start eating, it will definitely lead to morning impotence. So, there are people to buy Viagra, to buy strong, aphrodisiac drugs. I do not know that the sexual function of men is in charge of the heart, so Viagra will cause heart disease as soon as it goes down. Again, no matter what disease to find a doctor to treat, take medicine, if more and more impotence, the morning beat response is also gone, such drugs, never continue to take. The seventh: a healthy nail seal, requiring the root of the nails of the ten fingers of both hands to have eight crescent. From the thumb to the ring finger, the crescent teeth are arranged from large to small, and the little finger can be absent. The size of the nail mark should be about 2mm from the nail root to the nail edge (thumbs can go up to 2-3mm, the rest in turn decreasing to about 2mm). The edge of the nail mark is neat and clear, and the central part of the nail mark appears to be full. This kind of nail mark is mostly seen in healthy people, which means that the qi and blood are in harmony and the yin and yang of the internal organs are relatively balanced. Compared with normal nail marks, the size of the nail mark increases or decreases, or the index of the nail mark increases or decreases, and all or none of the ten fingers are called abnormal nail marks. If there are few crescents, or even only the thumb has them and the other four fingers do not, or they are relatively small, it is a cold type of nail mark. This means that the body is in a state of Yang deficiency, Yang Qi is weak and Yin cold is strong, which is a manifestation of Yang Qi not being able to reach the ends of the limbs. This kind of patient has low function of the internal organs, which leads to the invasion of cold or self-generation. Cold can slow down the flow of qi and blood, resulting in tumors, lumps or cysts, myomas and other diseases. Some people found through the clinical investigation of tumor patients, mainly malignant tumor patients, that the cold type of nail seal accounts for 80%, which means that the majority of malignant tumor patients have a cold physique. -It depends on the nature of the evil qi and the strength of the righteous qi (i.e., the power of the body to produce resistance to such evil qi). However, it should be clear that people with deficient cold constitution have a much higher chance of getting tumors than people with other types of constitution. Understanding this point, people with deficient cold constitution can reduce the chance of malignant swelling and pain by improving their constitution through medication or their own exercise, and even if it develops, the symptoms can be reduced, which is very meaningful for prevention before illness and early treatment of illness. I found in a large number of clinics that people nowadays have a majority of cold nail marks, almost more than 70% to 80%. This is one of the reasons why I emphasize the important role of yang in treatment, and stress the importance of “helping yang”. If the crescent becomes larger or the index of nail marks increases, it is a hot type of nail mark. The hot type of nail mark is a manifestation of strong yang energy in the body and strong function of the internal organs. The bigger the nail mark of a normal person. It means that the better the body quality (also when with other body conditions). In the case of disease, it means that Yang is strong and Yin is not enough, this is a real evidence, or disease for a long time Yang is strong and leads to Yin deficiency, the evidence is mixed with deficiency and reality. Compared with the cold type A seal treatment is easy to see the effect. Knowing the above, and observing it yourself, you know your body condition. What needs to be understood is that Chinese medicine can indeed change the physical condition. It is clinically found that after some tumor patients get better after treatment, their nail marks also change in a good direction. However, there are still some patients whose symptoms have been alleviated, but their nail marks have not changed. I think, on the one hand, it takes some time for the nail mark to change, from a few months to a year, or even several years. On the other hand, some patients’ symptoms disappear after treatment. The imbalance of yin and yang and the deficiency of the material basis of both yin and yang have not returned to the normal state, so it is impossible for the nail mark to change to normal. Under such circumstances, treatment should be persisted and should not be interrupted easily because the treatment effect is satisfactory and the pain is reduced. There are many clinical examples of relapse and death due to blind optimism and interruption of treatment, which should be taken as a lesson. About the seven standards of healthy living, we all look to comprehend. But the majority of patients before seeing a doctor, it may be worthwhile to compare themselves to which standard you are missing. Then find a doctor after taking herbal medicine, whether these standards have improved, as a way to judge the efficacy of their own, but also as a criterion for selecting a doctor. If all seven criteria are normal after taking the medicine, then it means that you are completely cured. Go and thank the doctor who helped you, and don’t forget to ask him for more advice on ways to stay healthy.
