Hundred-year-old Chinese medicine practitioners teach you eight health-keeping secrets
Gan Zuwang, 98, one of the top 1 Chinese medicine practitioners in China, retired from Zhongnanhai. The secret of his longevity lies in his eight-character health-keeping method of "childlike innocence, ant food, tortoise desire and monkey behavior".
1. In addition to drinking, eat less cold dishes
In ancient times, when people ate cold dishes, they must be used for drinking wine, because both white wine and yellow wine are warm things, accompanied by cold dishes, which just neutralizes. Modern people have become accustomed to eating cold dishes, which, in my opinion, is unhealthy and not conducive to the stomach.
2. Never eat scrambled eggs with bitter gourd
China people do have a tradition of eating eggs, boiling eggs in the morning, scrambled eggs with tomatoes at noon and scrambled eggs with bitter gourd at night. Bitter gourd is cold, and eggs are also cold things. Together, the two are very serious. In my opinion, they are poison. I advise you not to eat them.
3. Breakfast respects tradition. rice congee, fried dough sticks or fried eggs are healthy.
Many people criticize fried dough sticks as unhealthy and junk food. I think food is not "beautiful or disgusting". The key lies in moderation. rice congee, fried dough sticks and side dishes are the traditions of China people and are comfortable to eat. Boiled eggs are cold, so I don't eat them. They are neutralized when fried, so I eat fried eggs.
4. Eat in moderation
There is a Taoist view that people have a fixed number of meals in their lives. If you eat early and eat more, you will be finished early. Eat slowly and slowly, and you will live a long life. So I definitely don't overeat.
5. One of the major diseases of modern people is that they are not hungry.
Hunger is used too much together, and everyone can't tell its original meaning clearly. In fact, there is an essential difference between the two. "Hunger" means that the food intake is insufficient, that is, the stomach is empty, while "Hunger" is a subjective feeling and a desire to eat. The feeling of frequent and too strong hunger is that the heart is too strong, and the state of not feeling hungry belongs to the lack of heart. Not hungry is a common problem of modern people, especially today's children, whose stomachs are full of food and are always in a state of food accumulation. Their stomachs are relatively full, with bad breath, repeated inflammation and infection of the throat, abdominal distension, not farting, kicking the quilt at night, and even grinding their teeth and drooling. Hunger without hunger is a common symptom of modern obese people. These people are full, but they always feel hungry. This pathogenesis lies in excessive heart fire, unsatisfied emotional and emotional needs, or deep dissatisfaction in the heart, resulting in overeating. Traditional Chinese medicine generally uses drugs such as coptis chinensis and gardenia to relieve cold and heart.
6. If you are not hungry in the morning, eating eggs and milk is poison.
Many people ask me what I eat is good for my health. I say that what I eat is not important, but how and when I eat it is the key. Don't eat when you are not hungry, even when you eat, the external clock is not important, what matters is your biological clock. Many people are urging people to have breakfast, and no one cares whether they get up in the morning or not. People who have not digested the food in their stomachs the night before and have no appetite at all are forced to put in a pile of milk and eggs. Isn't that poison? For breakfast, you can drink a bowl of Dingjiapu grain powder, which is ground into fine powder with whole grains for easy brewing. Their formulas are all based on the formulas approved by the old Chinese medicine practitioners. Eating more whole grains is beneficial to the daily gastrointestinal operation, defecation and detoxification, and long-term drinking can prolong life. When you are hungry but not hungry, you should eat some snacks, just three bites. When you are hungry but not hungry, you should see a doctor to adjust your mood.
7. Drinking plenty of water can even lead to kidney deficiency.
I don't know when the so-called health concept appeared. Drinking eight glasses of water a day can detoxify and flush the large intestine. In fact, drinking water like this is very harmful to the kidney, and it can also cause kidney deficiency and can't hold back urine. Drink water in small sips, only after three sips, leaving room for digestion and absorption. Modern people are quick to take pictures, and they drink a lot of water. As a result, there is a lot of cold water in the stomach, which is either urinated out or saved, and there is no way to become body fluid. The knowledge of drinking water also lies in not drinking fresh water, the side effect of fresh water is diuresis, fresh water passes through the intestines, and body fluids have nowhere to stay. Therefore, the ancients should add bitter tea to fresh water and add trace salt when eating watermelon, in order to prevent the loss of body fluid.
8. When drinking frozen water and frozen drinks, animals are not as good as
cold drinks. They have to rely on the hot gas of the stomach to warm it to 36.5℃, which is the same as the human body. Over time, the stomach can't stand it, the lungs and stomach are connected, and the lungs can't stand it. Some people like to have a cup of frozen drink before eating, and that's it. When you eat, no matter how much you eat or how much you eat, you won't feel anything. After a long time, you will become extremely fat. Most people eat until they are seven or eight full.
