Chapter 4 (3)

Finally, I sent a sentence to my friends: "Smile three times a day, stay away from disease and medicine".If you want to be healthy, you should live happily every day.Recently, people over the age of 100 are often interviewed on TV. I don’t know if you have noticed that these people over the age of 100 have a common characteristic, which is "peaceful mentality".Each has its own tricks, but the first one is all about peace of mind. As for the rest of the four cornerstones of health, balanced nutrition, moderate exercise, and adequate sleep, how to achieve a balanced diet?What does Chinese medicine think is exercise?I will expand it for you one by one below.

balanced nutrition In the past, when we met, we used to greet each other: "Have you eaten?" This can almost be said to be a "national question" in our country.But there is a lot of knowledge behind this eating, for example, what to eat?how to eat?Does it change every day, or does it not change for a few days?How to eat can "eat away disease, eat healthy"?In this lecture, I will tell you about the knowledge of "eating".This is the second element among the four cornerstones of health - balanced nutrition. We all know that in traditional Chinese culture, the theory of "the same origin of medicine and food" has a long history. The legend about "Shen Nong" in ancient times reflects the exploration of the functions of food and medicine by Chinese ancestors.

So, what is "medicine and food from the same source"? The theory of "medicine and food from the same source" believes that many foods are also medicines, which can prevent and treat diseases just like medicines.Therefore, strictly speaking, in Chinese medicine, medicine and food are not distinguished, they are relative terms. "The Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine" says that diet "don't overdo it, it will hurt its integrity".Medicine is also food, and food is also medicine; food has less side effects, but medicine has more side effects, which is another meaning of "the same origin of medicine and food".

Next, I would like to ask my friends, do you know the principles of food entry and exit?What is called out?What is entry?How?How to get in?We have studied health preservation for so many years, and found that modern people have changed these two words into "in and out". Many people pay attention to in, but few people pay attention to out.To give a simple example, such as nutrition, now we are all talking about eating, drinking, what is good to eat, and so on. No one talks about how to metabolize and excrete it for him, and we don’t talk about these things anymore.So now the word "in" is talked about more and more, and the word "out" is less and less, so now people are accumulating more and more problems.

When it comes to balanced nutrition, everyone should pay attention to the fact that balance comes first, and nutrition comes second. Only nutrition is achieved when balance is achieved. If "balance" is not achieved, don't talk about the word "nutrition". The ordering of characters in Chinese words is reasonable, which character is at the beginning, which character is at the end, and why this character is used here are all reasonable.Okay, let's understand it literally, what does "average" mean, average, is it possible to be average only when there are many? What does "heng" stand for?balance.

How to achieve balance?Each person should try to eat as many types of food as possible every day, so that the average amount can be achieved!The World Health Organization recommends that each of us should eat more than 30 kinds of food every day.Because it is impossible for any kind of food to be fully nutritious, only different food types can be supplemented to achieve the purpose of complete nutrition.Heng eats like this every day to create nutrients, which can be understood literally. See "Illustration: Various Beans and Vegetables". If you can't achieve balanced nutrition, the problem will come out.Everyone will find that more and more young people and even children are suffering from some serious diseases, and the age of death is getting lower and lower. In many families, white-haired people send black-haired people...

What is the reason?I would like to ask my friends, should people get sick?In fact, getting sick is the result, and if there is an effect, there must be a cause. Everything in the world is related to cause and effect. People shouldn't get sick!Why do you say that, because people live by these internal organs!If you take good care of the five internal organs, your body will be healthy and you will not get sick; if the five internal organs are sick, you will be sick.Why are the five internal organs sick?Because you don't maintain it.What is raising?Health preservation, life is cultivated.Where to raise it, raise the five internal organs!

How can a person not get sick? "Immortality" is a luxury that cannot be realized, but "being healthy until old age and dying without disease" is something that everyone can achieve.It's just that most people don't know the method, don't know the importance of maintaining energy and nourishing the spirit, they only care about the short-term quickness, and deviate from the way of health preservation. Now that our conditions are better and we have bought cars, who do you see who "just drives without maintenance"?Have it?No!The car runs to 5,000 kilometers for maintenance, so the car is always easy to drive.Think about how many years these five organs of our human body have been used. Who of us said they have been maintained?

If you don't maintain it, it will definitely torment you, which is what we call "getting sick".Wouldn't it be easy to find out the cause of the illness?The World Health Organization warns us that the first cause of human disease is unhealthy lifestyle, and the second is unbalanced nutrition.Imbalance, including "excess" and "deficiency": what excess?excess fat; What lacks?Mineral and vitamin deficiencies. So it's very simple, why do you get sick? In the words of ordinary people, "disease comes from the mouth", doesn't the answer come out?

I also want to ask everyone, what is the purpose of eating three meals a day? To live?In order to ensure good health?In fact, to put it bluntly, some people have eaten for a lifetime, and they don’t even know the purpose of eating.We eat these three meals a day for three purposes: The first one, sustaining life, because if you don't eat, you will starve to death. The second purpose is to prevent diseases, because it is inevitable for people to have troubles. When there are diseases and disasters, the common people don't talk about it. They all talk about prevention and treatment, but they don't talk about prevention and treatment.What defense?Just take three meals a day!

The third purpose of eating is a point of view that has been proven by our clinical practice for nearly two decades and is now recognized by more and more countries-the purpose of eating is to treat diseases. Many people may be confused again, so let me ask you, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, etc. These chronic diseases are caused by eating, do you admit it or not?Since you have the ability to eat the disease, why can't you "eat the disease back"?Everyone is shouting sickness from the mouth, no one shouting sickness from the mouth.Why can't you get sick out of your mouth? Traditional Chinese medicine has left a five-step cure for us Chinese: "food", "Bianstone", "acupuncture", "alcohol" and "medicine".The first step is "eating", which is diet therapy. Sun Simiao, our ancestral medicine king, emphasized in "Thousands of Gold Prescriptions": "If you can use food to calm illnesses and relieve emotions and condemn illnesses, it can be said to be a good job. The strange method of baiting for many years is also the technique of accumulating health. A husband is a doctor. One must first understand the source of the disease, know what it is causing, and cure it with food, and food will not heal, and then order medicine." If you have relatives in Europe, you might as well call and ask, how do Europeans see a doctor now?The emergency department is not counted. When the patient comes, the doctor will prescribe recipes. Go back and eat first. It’s not good to come back.Why?Because they are deeply aware of the dangers of taking medicine, and found that the Chinese system works, and learned all the Chinese system, benefiting the country, the people, and themselves. The second step is "Bianstone".Bianstone therapy has been basically lost. You may wish to understand it as the common massage, meridian acupoint massage and so on.
