Let's talk about the prevention of illness and taking medicine when sick
This article was written in view of the fact that several friends were sick in such a climate and went without medicine. I lost www.biquge.info draft once, and the second half of the article I wrote this time was similar to the last one.
The climate in Nanning is humid and moist all year round, but in late winter and early spring and in the season after the summer, the humidity seems to be too much.
Two days ago, I was in the space to talk about the need to protect against cold and humidity in such weather, but everyone didn't pay attention, and several people caught a cold one after another. Today I will take this topic out of the way and write an article about it.
Let's talk about the current climate: March is the time when yang energy rises and everything recovers, and it is also a good time for viruses and bacteria to breed and multiply. At this time, the temperature is fluctuating, alternating between cold and hot, coupled with serious humidity, the human body is easily invaded by viruses when the resistance to cold is accidentally reduced. Manifested by respiratory symptoms and general malaise.
According to the concept of traditional Chinese medicine, the human body is eroded by cold and dampness.
So how do we adapt to such a climate in our daily lives?
1. Maintain a regular work and rest time. Spring is the season when yang energy rises, everything is vibrant, and people should also move more, move their muscles and minds.
There is a principle throughout the year that you should go to bed early and wake up early: you should fall asleep at night at midnight (23:38~1:38), and get up at midnight and midnight (7:38~9:38) in the morning. Yang energy is at its most vigorous during the day, and the positive factors of the human body are most active before noon, and energy is also the most abundant. At noon, if possible, be sure to take a short rest. Maintaining such a regular routine for a long time, the body's immunity will be in the best state, so that heaven, earth and man are in harmony, and of course, the chance of getting sick will be greatly reduced. (The hour is the hour in Nanning.) )
2. Eat a varied and balanced diet.
The World Health Organization advocates that a person should consume as many as 40 types of food in a day to ensure that all aspects of the body need and coordinate.
One principle is diversity and balance. To put it bluntly, it is to eat a little bit of everything, not to eat too much, not too much.
The proportion of energy intake in three meals is: 40%, 40%, 20%. It varies from person to person, and it is appropriate to adjust according to your own situation. The intake of each meal actually feels full, and one more bite is more.
It is a basic principle to refuse to consume genetically modified foods and out-of-season fruits and vegetables.
The human body should conform to the laws of nature and accept the gifts of nature, and any man-made violation is unscientific and incorrect.
3. Proper medicinal and dietary conditioning.
The so-called medicine and food are of the same origin, and the happiest person as a Chinese is Wang Ming's wise ancestor. The ancestors have already understood the harmony between heaven, earth, man and all things, and used it skillfully.
For the four seasons of the year:
Spring is humid, and it is good to eat more dampness foods and more for the body, such as red adzuki beans, barley, lettuce, lentils, and winter melon.
Spring is also the season of growth and recovery, the main growth of the liver is accessible, traditional Chinese medicine believes that the cause of liver disease is nothing more than two aspects: the external cause is mostly due to the invasion of dampness and heat and unclean diet, and the internal cause is mostly due to emotional disharmony, fatigue and internal injury that weaken the body's resistance. Therefore, nourishing the liver and protecting the liver can be regulated from these two aspects. Therefore, it is also good to eat some foods that protect the liver (hawthorn, oranges, grapes, cucumbers, celery, spinach, cauliflower, kelp, etc.).
In summer, the heat and humidity are heavier, so it is good to eat some foods to prevent heat and dampness. For example, mung beans, pumpkin, mint, etc.
In autumn and winter, you can eat some moisturizing foods: lily, wheat winter, barley, white fungus, honey, etc.
Let's talk about taking medicine.
There is a principle that everyone should understand: do not take medicine if you are not sick, take less medicine when you are sick, and use medicine symptomatically when you are sick.
It's not right to stick to not taking medicine all the time, it's about taking medicine when it's time to take it. The World Health Organization is also promoting the idea of treating drugs for the symptoms and not abusing them.
It's like: when you're sick, your immune system is engaged in a war of encirclement and suppression, encircling and blocking the invading pathogen, and if your immune force is strong enough and the invading enemy is not numerous or tenacious enough, then you can do without taking medicine. But if your immunity is not so good, and the invading pathogens are numerous and very powerful, then you need to treat the symptoms, just like giving your troops to increase support and strengthen the armed forces, giving them help to destroy the enemy, and also reduce the loss of the immune troops, and the physical symptoms are not so uncomfortable.
The key lies in not abusing medicine, and again: our happiness lies in the wisdom of our ancestors, and our traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine are all in the concept of the unity of nature and man of our ancestors, and she regulates the human body as a whole, so it is excellent to use symptomatic medicine to prevent and treat diseases. The side effects of Chinese medicine are very few, so it is happier to know about the application of some commonly used Chinese medicines.
The so-called healing before the disease is cured, and prevention is always better than cure. Because to do a good job of defending before the enemy has invaded, so that the enemy has nowhere to invade, it is always much less expensive to pay than to find a way to win the battle after the enemy has already invaded. You think that any war will have losses, don't you?
If you can work and rest scientifically, eat a balanced diet, and use drugs rationally, it is not a problem to be healthy and prolong life.
There is also the regulation of emotions is also very important, and it is very strange to write an article today, so I won't say much.
