Health care is not for us to learn monks to meditate, Taoist priests alchemy, of course, we do not deny that is the health care methods of professionals. For most of us ordinary people, health is actually a way of life, a habit, an attitude towards life. How much you eat at a meal to feel comfortable, how to wear the right clothes to not catch a cold, what plants at home will be more pleasing to the eye. These ordinary things are all health care, so instead of saying that health care is to maintain life, it is better to say that it is to take care of life, because the process of life is in the daily food, clothing, housing, transportation and food and oil and salt. Health education is not running a farm, eating the same feed at the same time, and then getting out together. We can all try to do the same theory of health care, but the effect is different. Because people are originally different individuals, health care is in the maintenance of their own, of course, the method can not be exactly the same. Of course, the ancient and modern principles and methods of health care we can learn from, to use a phrase: the general principles of health care and their own specific practices should be combined. The reasoning is understood by all, but once you see that people’s methods are effective, regardless of the three or seventy-one completely copied and imitated, first of all, we must praise you already have the concept of maintenance of their own, but in the specific practice to gradually mature. Chinese medicine believes in the unity of heaven and man, that is, people should be in harmony with nature in order to enjoy their natural life. Nature is spring, summer, autumn and winter, just as plants sprout in spring, flourish in summer, wither in autumn and lie dormant in winter. According to this theory, spring and summer should be the most active season, this does not say also know, spring warm summer heat, who can not honestly hold in the house. Then the winter, some people say, winter should be closed, hiding in the house less out, if the winter of Yang Qi consumption is too much, spring will be sick. This has some relevance, especially for northerners with long and cold winters. But look at the reality of the situation is not so, modern people outdoor activities in winter than in the past to be much more, in the past people are in the winter “cat winter”, like old cats hiding in the warm bed in the winter do not leave home. Now I have not heard of any enterprise or unit giving people a holiday in winter, and then work in the coming spring. So we have to come out to work in the winter, is not wearing thermal underwear and thick down jacket is all OK, can be like spring and summer work life? The answer is certainly not, there is a winter health problem. First of all, I am very much against losing weight in winter, which is in itself fighting with our bodies. Although some popular magazines for women are always reminding to keep their mouths shut in winter, otherwise the entire summer weight loss will be lost. As mentioned earlier, our body is a countless times more sophisticated instrument than a computer, her physiological processes and activities are predetermined, artificially forced to change her can only reduce the service life. Winter temperatures are low, the body needs fat to store heat and warmth, so even if you eat only a bowl of rice in winter and summer, the body will absorb more energy in winter to protect itself, and the temperature, the body will deliberately slow down the metabolism in winter to deal with the cold weather. In this way, you want to keep in shape in winter, or even to continue the summer weight loss attack, it can only be winter eat less than summer. What is the consequence of this, Chinese medicine says that human life activities depend on the nourishment of grains, your will is strong enough, hard enough not to eat, but your body is suffering from hunger, of course, to get sick. So how much to eat in winter is appropriate, or that, their own body can make the most sophisticated regulation, which of course, we need to monitor from time to time, such as weighing often, if the weight rises too quickly in a short period of time, then really need to control the diet and strengthen the exercise. Just like a migrant worker patient and I said, before in the old home in the winter months all day long to work in the mountains, eat how much pork stew vermicelli will not be fat, this into the city a few years, winter eating less, how to get fatty liver? The reason is actually very simple, now his body does not consume as much in winter, of course, it does not need too many calories. If you really have a very heavy physical work or strenuous exercise in winter, but also do not supplement the diet and calories, then only to lose their own yang, both in winter not sick, spring will also be found by the problem. Then there is the problem of wearing clothes. Some people are rich in outdoor sports in winter, chasing the wind and snow, unlimited passion, the body is also stronger than others to resist cold energy. Why in the usual but always love cold sneeze constantly? This is because during the time of exercise, the body’s qi and blood can be mobilized, the positive qi from within, to protect the whole body, naturally, to resist cold and keep warm. When you don’t exercise, your positive qi is easily closed in winter, and the cold invades your body, so if the process of protecting your positive qi (what Chinese medicine calls Wei qi) is slow, you will easily catch a cold. The longer you stay in the warm environment of your home, office and car, the slower your body’s Wei Qi will react, and then when you go out or leave work, the cold Qi will easily enter your body. Then you just need to move your arms and legs a little before you go out, to give the Wei Qi a time to come out of the body to protect you, the problem is solved. Although it sounds a bit exaggerated, in fact, here is also so simple one or two movements is the best health care. The method is not more complicated, but it is important that you have the idea of nourishing your body and use it flexibly in real life.
