Our ancient health care theories and methods are an important part of the traditional Chinese culture, but due to the limitations of the times, there are good and bad traditional health care prescriptions. So, how to understand and apply the method of health maintenance? The term “health care” was first used in “Zhuangzi – Inner Chapter”, which refers to the health care activities based on the law of life development and the means to maintain the body, reduce diseases, improve health and prolong life. The Chinese way of health care has a long history and a long history, and is unique among the nations of the world, making an outstanding contribution to the protection of the health of the children of Yanhuang and the prosperity of the Chinese nation. Nowadays, as people’s awareness of self-care increases, many people are acquiring modern knowledge of health care while also taking lessons from the ancients. While studying ancient health care theories and methods, the following four basic principles should be adhered to. First, to establish a correct concept of life and death and health people since the day of birth means the beginning of death, growth and old age has been an irresistible objective law. How to deal with death, this is an inescapable topic. Some people can treat it correctly and handle it calmly; some people are afraid of it and are anxious. Jiao Yulu, a good cadre of the people, knew that he was suffering from an incurable disease, but still led the masses to fight in the front line of production and labor until the last moment of his life, reflecting the fearless spirit of a materialist towards death. In addition, the “anti-cancer clubs” and “diabetes clubs” organized by patients across the country also show their love and hope for life very well. This is especially important for the elderly, whose greatest wish is to pursue health and longevity. Most of the old people are weak and sickly, and their various functions are declining. They hope to have medical care and happiness in their old age, so they try to find ways to prolong their lives and have a strong demand for medical care. Therefore, if they do not treat life and death correctly, they are likely to be cheated by some profit-oriented health care providers and become the target of their interests. Second, the scientific treatment of traditional health care prescriptions The ancient health care theories and methods in China are an important part of the traditional Chinese culture, but due to the limitations of the times, there are good and bad situations in traditional health care prescriptions. So, how to treat them correctly? The scientific method is to remove the falsehoods and keep the truth, remove the crude and take the essence, eliminate the dross and absorb the essence, which is also a basic principle for inheriting traditional culture and acquiring health care knowledge. It should be reminded that in recent years, with the return to nature and the emergence of global health care fever, a trend of reverting to the past has also emerged. Some people take advantage of people’s good wishes for health and longevity, cloaked in science, under the banner of promoting traditional culture, peddling feudal dregs and superstitious witchcraft that have long been thrown into the garbage heap of history, and doing things that are harmful to people’s lives. These people tend to “a certain family”, “a certain king”, which should cause the general public to be highly alert, especially those who claim to be able to cure all diseases “miracle doctors”, more careful to prevent fall into their trap. Third, according to the time and place and people to nourish healthy longevity is not overnight or through a gong a method can be achieved, China’s generations of health care scholars have advocated that health should be based on the time, place, according to the person. For their different characteristics, examine the evidence to seek the cause, identify the evidence of nourishment, a variety of forms, comprehensive cooperation, in order to achieve good results. For example, the proverb “spring cover and autumn freeze, no miscellaneous diseases”, we need to pay attention to the “three reasons for the appropriate” when applying the health care. In terms of time, “spring cover” mainly in early spring, must cover the “inverted spring cold”, and so the climate is basically stable before gradually reduce clothing; and “autumn freeze” is mainly in mid-autumn, once Once you enter late autumn, you should add clothes in time. Geographically, the north should extend the time of “spring cover” and shorten the time of “autumn freeze”, while the south is just the opposite. In terms of the human body, the above is only for young and strong and disease-free people, the elderly, children and patients can not be generalized, but need to strengthen the “spring cover”, do not prematurely reduce clothing; in late autumn, it is necessary to add clothes as soon as possible, otherwise it is easy to get sick. In short, in addition to health care “time, location, and people”, but also to identify the evidence, if not ask the yin and Yang table, hot and cold deficiency, a food therapy, we all come to eat, inevitably do not have problems. In a sense, disease is a manifestation of life, as old as life, and accompanying. People can not live forever, and it is impossible not to get sick in life. So far, there is no magic formula or panacea for immortality in the world. The so-called health care is only to prevent diseases by nurturing one’s own vitality. However, if you get sick, you should go to the doctor in time, and listen to the doctor’s advice and arrangements, trust in letting go, and actively cooperate, do not avoid the disease, the small disease into a big disease. Life is a matter of life and death, and health is priceless. People should think calmly about the current “health fever”, always put science in the first place, adhere to the above-mentioned “four basic principles”, learn traditional health concepts and methods, combined with the power of increasingly mature medical science, so as to achieve the purpose of prolonging life.
