Speaking of health preservation, many people feel that it is the elderly who need to pay attention, which is a big mistake. Traditional Chinese medicine experts recommend that health preservation should never be emphasized until the middle and old age, and should be started with dolls!
01 Childhood
Child health concerns the health of adults
Health care during childhood is the foundation of lifelong health. Due to the incomplete development of children's viscera and the insufficient transportation and chemical function of the spleen and stomach, it is easy to cause the weak spleen and stomach of children to be unable to digest and absorb various nutrients normally, making the body unable to receive sufficient nutrition supply, leading to weakened immunity in children.
If your child shows signs of sallow complexion, emaciation, and a poor appetite; Picky and partial eaters; In cases of low immunity and susceptibility to illness, parents should pay attention to conditioning their children's physique.
02 Youth
Good habits are the foundation of healthy growth
Nowadays, people's living standards are continuously improving, and the proportion of overweight and obese adolescents is increasing. Poor dietary habits and lack of exercise are the main factors contributing to this increasingly serious health problem. In particular, teenagers like to eat fried and fatty foods, which not only easily leads to obesity, but also may lead to indigestion and gastrointestinal dysfunction, thereby affecting the normal absorption of nutrients.
Adolescence is the most vigorous stage of human development, and it is necessary to comprehensively and reasonably ingest nutrients, paying particular attention to the supplementation of calcium, high-quality protein, and heat energy.
Young women should not go on an excessive diet to lose weight, leading to malnutrition. Young men should not rely on their strong physique to overeat and indulge in excessive cold and heat. For those with congenital deficiency and weak health, it is even more important to grasp the development period to regulate their diet and enhance their immunity.
In addition, during adolescence, it is necessary to ensure adequate sleep. Frequent staying up late to learn can lead to mental fatigue and decreased immunity. It is recommended to adhere to physical exercise in the morning and evening according to your own conditions. In this way, we can ensure energy, improve learning efficiency and physical fitness. In short, in adolescence, it is necessary to achieve "a disciplined diet, a regular lifestyle, and not to work recklessly.".
03 Middle age
Prevent premature aging and prolong life
Middle age is a turning point in the course of life, and life activities begin to turn from prosperity to decline. Decay, appetite, overwork, and excessive thinking are important causes of premature aging, as well as many chronic diseases in the elderly.
"Jing Yue Quan Shu - Zhongxing Lun" emphasizes that "when an old person is around middle age, if they undergo major repairs, they will regain their roots, leaving more than half of them strong." This indicates that health care in middle age is crucial, and if properly adjusted, it can maintain vigorous energy, prevent premature aging, prevent geriatric diseases, and prolong life. Xiaogu suggests that the health crisis of middle-aged people can be resolved from the following three points:
1. Do not overwork and ensure sleep time
Middle-aged people must ensure sleep time and avoid long-term "overload operation", which can lead to overwork and illness. Sleep is a natural tonic and a charger for the human body. Avoid strenuous exercise, emotional excitement, and stimulating beverages before bedtime. It is best to lie down between 22:00 and 23:00, and fall asleep before 23:00.
2. Maintain a positive mindset
Middle age is a generation that connects the past and the future, with older and younger generations. It shoulders the burden of society and family, and is prone to high mental stress. In the long run, it will inevitably deplete the essence, damage the mind, and lead to premature aging. At this point, take the initiative to adjust yourself, maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, take frequent deep breaths, and exercise daily. Exercise can bring pleasure and is the best way to relieve stress and fatigue. It is recommended that everyone keep walking 10000 steps every day to shake off bad emotions.
3. More vegetables and less meat, seven points full
Vegetables contain a lot of vitamins and dietary fiber, which can reduce the absorption of cholesterol and prevent atherosclerosis. At the same time, they affect the absorption and utilization rate of glucose, preventing a sudden increase in postprandial blood sugar. In addition, eating more vegetables and less meat can ensure a low fat and cholesterol diet and avoid excessive accumulation of fat in the liver.
Xiao Inhan said:
"Health preservation is not a work of day and night. As the saying goes, if you don't maintain health today, you should maintain a doctor tomorrow."
