Have you ever heard of being unhealthy because of your love of exercise? I have such patients around me who have gotten their bodies in bad shape because of their love of exercise. Some are white-collar workers in Beijing, who work eight hours a day at high intensity, plus three or four hours on the public transportation system to and from work, and go to the gym at night to work out their bodies. Some are art workers who stay up late at night working until three or four o’clock or even overnight, and then wake up in the morning, get up and go to the gym, swimming and machines. In their concept, as long as fitness is good for the body. In fact, like the above situation to go to the gym is killing their lives. The Golden Chamber of the Essentials says, “Food injuries, sorrow injuries, labor injuries, and room injuries” all lead to disease. Excessive exertion is to hurt and cause disease. Exercise needs to be more moderate, need to be different from person to person. No exercise is not good; too much exercise is not good. Here “more”, not a unified standard, but a relative concept, first of all, relative to the total amount of your body consumption. If you work very hard every day, but also stay up late, people are already very tired. In such a situation of depletion of qi and blood, then go to exercise is very hurtful. Many athletes are in poor health, and gastroptosis is a common disease among athletes. I have more contact with dancers, and many of them have a loss of qi and blood and are prone to illness because they exercise too much every day. Secondly, it is relative to your physical condition, the old and the young or the weak should be light exercise, the force is small and heavy is also to hurt. We have a problem in this era, heard what is good to do what desperately. Said sports good, desperately exercise; said tea good, desperately drink tea; said water good, desperately drink water; said vitamins good, rice can not eat, vitamins as a meal. This phenomenon in foreign countries, for granted, not surprising, in our place, only shows that our culture out of the question. We turned out to be a “Tao” culture. What is “Tao”? For example, the word “Chinese medicine” contains the mystery of “Tao”. The word “Chinese” in “Chinese medicine” is not the word “Chinese” in “China”; there was no such thing as “China” in ancient times. In ancient times, there was no such concept as “China”; it was “Zhong” as in “Zhongdao”. This is the essence of the “Tao of Medicine”, that is, everything should be in line with the “Middle Way”. Chinese medicine treatment is to seek the Middle Way, health care is to seek the Middle Way, not more or less, less is not good, more also want to hurt people, living in the “in” the best, everything in moderation is appropriate. Tea is good, drink too much will hurt the spleen and stomach hurt vital energy; music is good, listen to more injury to the kidneys, kidneys, the main ear well; happy good, too happy is not good, too happy sad, hurt your heart. Now is an “art” of the times, people are trying to learn all kinds of art, all kinds of knowledge and skills, very few people care about the “Tao” is what. Do not learn the way only academic, do anything is prone to problems. Do tea hurt tea; do flowers hurt flowers; sports hurt sports; health care hurt health. Without the “Tao” as the basic guide, do anything is dangerous. For example, tea, tea itself is a bitter cold cleansing diuretic, a small amount of drink to clear the mind and refresh the digestion to remove filth, drink more will damage the fluid, qi and blood, injury to the spleen and stomach, sometimes the more you drink the more thirsty is the damage to fluid; spleen and stomach and then cold, the spleen is the basis of the day, will also cause a series of diseases. There are a lot of tea, their own blood is very weak, because of the habit of drinking a lot of tea. So do tea to have a tea ceremony, do incense to have incense road, play the piano to have the piano road, a “road” word is not so simple, not the surface of the work, the surface of the work that is called the pouring of tea, not called the tea ceremony. Modern people’s concept of health, most of them are not from the real medicine and experts, not from our thousands of years of Avenue, but from the business advertising, television experts to instill. These concepts are often localized to look at the problem, a microscopic look at the problem, such as what ingredients inside the tea can be anti-cancer beauty, a day to brew a ten bubble eight bubble is not too much; exercise can be healthy, a run on the ten kilometers eight kilometers. In fact, the tea inside more than that ingredient, there is a greater power in; sports and health is not equal. This is the scientific thinking of the shortcomings of science, science, science, everyone is from their own point of view, their own disciplines to see the problem, ignoring the big picture, ignoring the mutual influence and constraints between all things. Brain only brain, dentistry only dental, gastric only stomach, learning atoms only atoms; learning molecules only molecules, which is so simple? What is “Tao”, Tao can also be understood as a holistic view of the universe, is the core law of all things in the world, is constant, unchanging, all laws to one, a consistent thing. Reasonable exercise, it is recommended that each time not more than forty-five minutes, which is a cycle of the human body, after more than the human body will have to use the inventory – that is, their own vital energy, to support the body’s consumption. Our school curriculum is also set up for forty-five minutes per session, indicating that it is practiced and most consistent with the human body’s laws. After forty-five minutes, one feels increased fatigue and lack of concentration. So too much time for exercise is harming qi and blood, the loss is not worth it. Some fitness instructors will say to their students that the exercise should take more than an hour to have an effect. What is this effect, is it healthy? From the perspective of Chinese medicine and health, for people who are usually weak, forty-five minutes of exercise are on the high side. Generally speaking, twenty to thirty minutes of light exercise for a weak person is the optimal amount and will not damage the qi and blood. That is to say, the amount of exercise must match the condition of the body, and the burden should be picked to pick what you can pick, otherwise you will hurt your muscles and bones, and the amount of exercise that exceeds the body’s ability to load will hurt your qi and blood and vitality. After exercise, if there is a very tired feeling, nausea and want to vomit, do not want to eat the feeling, it is already damage. After exercise, you feel slightly sweaty, soothing, better spirit, which indicates that it is moderate. Exercise is not the more sweat the better, sweat is the body’s energy and energy, in general, exercise to micro-sweat is appropriate, then the body inside and outside of the smooth, detoxification effect has been achieved, and will not harm the blood. Winter sports can only be warmed up to the body as appropriate, it is best not to sweat, because the winter Lord closed hide, the human body qi conforms to heaven and earth for the introverted state, from the point of view of health, winter sweating is very taboo, because it is not in line with the laws of the human body. Chinese people are the most good at health community, since ancient times, our movement is based on the static movement, such as taiji, qigong, meditation, standing stumps and so on. Static exercises are aimed at the circulation of true qi, the harmonization of qi and blood in the internal organs, inner peace, and the solid deterrence of vital energy. Simply put, they are not energy-consuming, but energy-absorbing, and are most suitable for health maintenance. If it is purely to health for the purpose of exercise, it is recommended not to copy the Western kind of sweat out of the large intensity of the exercise. Life’s energy is a total, consumed the end of the end, most athletes do not live long is proof. Often in the circle of friends to see the partners night sunshine running exercise track, have been wanting to write a little something, this article is very well written, I want to say all written out. Theoretical level can not, I’ll dog-tailed a bit of content, Chinese medicine health care a “Shun” word, along with the time of day, along with the four qi, borrowing power for, along with the situation, twice the result with half the effort, so spring and summer to raise the sun, autumn and winter to raise the yin, pingdan yang, sundown to raise the yin. Therefore, whether night running is appropriate is debatable, I think it is still necessary to go along with the laws of nature, the best time to run in the morning is still appropriate, night exercise can be taken to yoga, tai chi, eight brocade and other gentle movement is appropriate. I apologize for any inappropriate comments.
