Timely health care is to prevent cold and heat according to the changes in climate and time, and to maintain the body in accordance with the characteristics of the four seasons, time, climate and other characteristics, so as to achieve the purpose of health care. In ancient times, people divided a day into 12 hours. This is also the reason why traditional Chinese medicine says that the internal organs and meridians are closely related to the 12 hours.
Zishi - sleeping to protect Yang Qi
Zishi is from 23:00 to 1:00, when the gallbladder meridian is on duty. At this time, when day and night change, the yang energy is weak, so it is best to sleep to maintain the internal organs.
Chou Shi - the liver meridian hematopoietic time
Chou Shi is from 1 o'clock to 3 o'clock, when the liver meridian is on duty. The liver needs to detoxify and form blood, which is carried out at this time, so you should not stay up late.
Yin Shi - the best time to take the pulse
Yin Shi is from 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock, when the lung meridian is on duty. At this time, it is just dawn, which is the most accurate time for Chinese medicine to take pulse. This is often the time when patients with lung disease most like to cough.
Mao hour - drink water on an empty stomach to eliminate toxins
Mao hour is from 5 to 7 o'clock, when the large intestine meridian is on duty. Drink a glass of water after getting up at Mao hour to facilitate defecation.
Chenshi - breakfast nutrition must be balanced
Chenshi is from 7 to 9 o'clock, when the stomach is on duty. This is the best time to eat breakfast.
Sishi - the first golden time for work and study
Sishi is from 9 to 11 o'clock, when the spleen meridian is on duty. The spleen meridian governs digestion and absorbs nutrients. This is also the time when the brain is most energetic, it is the first golden time of the day, it is the best time for the elderly to exercise, it is the time when office workers are most efficient, and it is also the time when students are most efficient.
Noon hour - take a good nap to nourish Yang Qi
Noon hour is from 11 o'clock to 13 o'clock, when the Heart Sutra is on duty. When the Heart Sutra is on duty, we have to eat lunch and take a nap. People with yin deficiency only need to rest for half an hour to an hour at noon to nourish yang and protect the heart.
Weishi - protect blood vessels and drink more water
Weishi is from 13:00 to 15:00, when the small intestine meridian is on duty. The small intestine absorbs nutrients from food and sends them to the blood. At this time, you must drink a glass of water to dilute the blood.
Shenshi - the second golden time for work and study
Shenshi is from 15:00 to 17:00, when the bladder meridian is on duty. The bladder meridian is a meridian that passes through the brain. During the Shen period, qi and blood are easily transported up to the brain, so learning efficiency is very high.
Youshi - the best time to prevent kidney disease
Youshi is from 17:00 to 19:00, when the kidney meridian is on duty. Drinking a glass of water at this time can clean the kidneys and bladder to stay away from kidney stones, bladder cancer, nephritis and other diseases.
Xushi - the third golden time for work and study
Xushi is from 19:00 to 21:00, when the pericardial meridian is on duty. It is the third golden period of the day, where you can study, walk and exercise.
Haishi - Prepare to rest
Haishi is from 21:00 to 23:00, when the Triple Burner Meridian is on duty. The triple burner refers to the reticular area connecting the internal organs. Generally speaking, the heart and lungs of the human body belong to the upper burner, the spleen and stomach belong to the middle burner, and the liver and kidneys belong to the lower burner. Everyone should rest at this time, so you must go to bed before 23 o'clock
Timely health maintenance is a very important principle in traditional Chinese medicine health maintenance. Only by adapting to the changing laws of the four seasons can the human body maintain coordination and balance with the environment, thereby achieving the purpose of curing diseases and strengthening the body. So how should everyone maintain good health in time on weekdays? Let’s take a look at the four major principles that Chinese medicine should follow to maintain good health in time!
1. We must achieve "the correspondence between nature and man, and the harmony of Tao" The law is natural”.
It is recorded in "Qin Wen·Ancient Innocence Theory": "People in ancient times knew that the law was based on yin and yang and the harmony of magic. They should eat in moderation, live regularly, and never forget their deeds. Therefore. It can be both physical and spiritual, and it will last for a hundred years. "Therefore, we must first live a regular life, do not smoke, drink less, and develop a good living habit. If it is "against the joy of life and has no rules in daily life", over time, health will definitely be affected.
2. "Be optimistic in spirit, accumulate virtue and do good deeds."
The World Health Organization puts forward the concept of “half of health is mental health”. Therefore, we encourage the public to view and solve problems with an optimistic attitude and a positive attitude. Because optimism is an open mind. Sun Shuchun said that when a person is happy, the body will secrete endorphins, which can make people feel happy and make people optimistic and cheerful, which is very beneficial to physical health.
3. Life is in motion.
People of all ages should increase their walking time. If the body can sweat slightly after walking, the best effect will be achieved. The correct way to walk is to maintain a calm and leisurely attitude. "Looking left and right is better than taking a leisurely stroll in the garden." In addition, the climate is cold in winter, so the number and time of outdoor sports should be appropriately reduced.
4. "Eat in moderation and take what you need."
"Suwen·Liujie Zangxiang Lun" says: "Heaven eats people with the five qi, and the earth eats people with the five flavors." It is impossible for people's blind subjective regulations not to comply with objective laws. When you When you want to eat something, your body is lacking it, so you should consume these foods. The health-preserving concept of "eat well in the morning, eat well at noon, and eat less at night" does not apply to everyone. The frequency and quantity of meals should be determined according to the living habits and work conditions of different groups of people.
"The stomach is nourished in the morning and the heart is nourished in the afternoon, and the meridians are nourished in the evening" has a long history, and it certainly makes sense. This theory was originally derived from acupuncture, based on the Five Shu points in the twelve meridians, taking the changes in the heavenly stems and earthly branches of the day and time as a reference, and adjusting the opening and closing of the meridians to maintain health. However, to be more specific, health care should vary from time to time, and when implemented at a specific time, it still needs to vary from person to person.
1. Nourish the stomach early
7 to 9 am is the time when the stomach meridian is in season. During this period, Qi and blood flow into the stomach meridian.
At this time, you can drink some warm water, which can replenish the water lost by the body, moisten the mucosa of the mouth, esophagus, and stomach, wash away the mucus and bile attached to the mucosa, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and prepare for meals. However, it is not advisable to drink too much water to avoid diluting gastric acid and affecting digestion. It is also not advisable to drink cold water to prevent irritation to the stomach.
As for the importance of eating breakfast, I won’t go into details here. It should be noted that spicy and irritating foods should not be eaten for breakfast to avoid damaging the gastric mucosa on an empty stomach.
2. Noon nourishing the heart
The time period from 11 o'clock to 13 o'clock, that is, noon time, is the time for the Heart Sutra.
About half an hour after a meal, you can massage and pat the pericardium meridian appropriately. Appropriate stimulation of the pericardial meridian can increase blood supply to the heart and effectively protect the heart.
The second is a nap, which is helpful for replenishing sleep, and can improve coronary blood supply, enhance physical strength, eliminate fatigue, and reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, and myocardial infarction. It should be noted that nap should not be too long. If you can't fall asleep, it's also helpful to close your eyes and take a nap.
3. Nourish the Baimai at night
From 21:00 to 23:00 in the evening, it is the time for the triple burner meridian.
"Lingshu. It is said in "Ying Health Association Chapter" that "the upper burner is like mist", mainly refers to the transmission function of the heart and lungs; "the middle burner is like retting", refers to the digestion and transport function of the spleen and stomach; "the lower burner is like a filth", refers to the urination of the kidneys and bladder functions, including the defecation function of the intestines.
These functions are actually the synthesis of the gasification functions of the internal organs in the body. Therefore, the function of the triple burner, in a nutshell, is to receive water and grain, digest food, transform qi, blood and essence into micro-substances, transport nutrients, and excrete waste materials. The word "jiao" in Sanjiao means "heat". This heat comes from the fire of Mingmen and is manifested by the action of the surrounding qi.
Therefore, nourishing the triple energizer late is equivalent to nourishing all the meridians of the whole body.
The triple burner is the largest of the six fu organs and has the function of presiding over all qi. "The triple burner can connect hundreds of meridians" during Haishi. When you fall asleep at Haishi, the hundred meridians can get the best rest, which is very beneficial to the body. Modern medicine also believes that it is best not to go to bed later than 23 o'clock at night.
After a night of metabolism, your body is very dehydrated when you wake up in the morning. Drinking a glass of warm water in the morning can dilute the blood and detoxify. But due to time constraints, I always rush out without drinking enough water. If you always eat bread with milk in the morning, it will be very bad for the spleen and stomach, and it will easily cause dampness.
7 a.m. to 9 a.m. happens to be the stomach meridian. Eat something that nourishes the spleen and stomach and is easy to digest and absorb. It can nourish the stomach and replenish water. Such as pumpkin millet porridge, half-and-half glutinous rice, japonica rice porridge, sweet potato porridge, etc.
11:00 and 13:00 noon happen to be the heart meridian. If you sleep at this time, you can greatly replenish your hard work. Even if you take a nap or close your eyes to relax, it will be beneficial to your body. Some children don't like to sleep at noon, and their minds are easily distracted during class, but their grades are always ideal. If you take a break at noon, your academic performance will improve and you will be more focused.
It is best to fall asleep between 21:00 and 23:00 at night, which happens to be the time when the triple burner meridian is running. The triple burner meridian of the human body is an important channel, which plays a role in transporting, absorbing, and expelling waste from the previous to the next. When you fall asleep, it has the effect of calming the five internal organs and harmonizing the qi and blood. The ancients defined the upper Jiao as belonging to the heart and lungs; the middle Jiao as belonging to the spleen and stomach; and the lower Jiao as belonging to the liver and kidneys, which also makes sense.
If the elderly have time to follow the Ziwu flow to maintain health, it is also good. Can prevent the occurrence of chronic diseases. Or reverse the progression of a chronic disease. Many people can't stand it, or don't believe it, thinking it is pseudoscience. Don't you believe it? Try it and you will know whether it is true or false.
The above personal opinions are for reference only.
Hello everyone!
This is the Four Seasons Health Code Garden. I am very happy to participate in answering this question.
"Nourishing the stomach in the morning, nourishing the heart in the afternoon, and unblocking the pulse in the evening." Is this statement correct? I think it's quite right! So where does this statement come from? "Huangdi Nei Jing? Su Wen Ru Wei Zhi Da Lun" says: "Above the Tianshu, the weather governs; below the Tianshu, the earth's energy governs; the Qi is divided, the human Qi follows it, and all things follow it." < /p>
Human beings and all things grow between heaven and earth. When the various auras of heaven and earth alternate and change, only by adapting to the changes between heaven and earth can we keep our bodies healthy and youthful. If we do the opposite, , or doing the opposite is destined to be of no benefit. As the saying goes, "an arm cannot twist a thigh", a person is as insignificant as a grain of dust between heaven and earth. How can he not adapt to the changes between heaven and earth? Woolen cloth?
The health knowledge of “nourishing the stomach in the morning, nourishing the heart in the afternoon, and unblocking the pulse in the evening” are all the wealth of intangible cultural heritage of scientific health left to us by our ancestors. This statement is actually based on the reasoning and implementation of the Taoist health-preserving principle of "the unity of nature and man, and the correspondence between nature and man".
Everyone knows that most people have breakfast between 7 and 9 o'clock, so the time between 7 and 9 o'clock is Chen hour, which is the time when dragons appear. The corresponding five elements belong to "earth". However, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine health preservation, the internal organ corresponding to the five elements "earth" is the spleen, and the stomach and spleen are usually combined into one. In other words, 7 to 9 am is exactly when the stomach meridian moves.
However, 11 o'clock to 13 o'clock is noon, which is the time of "fire" in the five elements. However, in terms of health preservation of the five elements, theoretically speaking, the organ corresponding to the "fire" is the heart. Therefore, 11:00 to 13:00 noon is the heart meridian induction time. It is the right time to make good use of this time to regulate the heart.
From 21:00 to 23:00 in the evening is Hai hour. The five elements belong to "water", and the corresponding human organ is the kidney. Everyone knows that a person's Yang Qi (life fire) is hidden in the kidneys. As long as the Yuanyang fire is strong, it can promote the circulation of meridians throughout the body, so nourishing the kidneys at night is the key. So how should we nourish our stomach?
1. First of all, you must keep a calm mood in the morning. It is said that "grief hurts the spleen". When the spleen is injured, the spleen and stomach are linked, and naturally the stomach is also hurt.
2. The second thing to pay attention to is diet and health care. Drink a glass of warm water first when you get up in the morning, which can nourish the stomach and intestines, open blood vessels, etc., and has many benefits.
You should eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and stomach, such as beef, pork belly, crucian carp, sea bass, grass carp, tofu, pumpkin, lentils, red dates, longan, walnuts, pine nuts, chestnuts, etc. Avoid eating spicy foods, such as peppers, kelp, crabs, etc. What aspects should we pay attention to in nourishing our mind at noon?
1. First of all, you must be calm and not laugh. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine health theory, "happy and sad", laughing is extremely harmful to the heart, especially those with a history of coronary heart disease. Notice.
2. Be sure to set aside time to arrange a nap between 11:00 and 13:00.
Only taking a good nap can help your heart health. Friends who have time are best to massage their heart cells, such as Neiguan point, Jiquan point, etc. Friends who do not understand the direction of acupuncture points and the heart meridian can rub the chest clockwise, which will have the same effect. So how to nourish the meridians throughout the body at night?
1. From a mental perspective, you cannot be frightened from 21:00 to 23:00 in the evening. According to traditional Chinese medicine health theory, "fear of kidney damage", being frightened is extremely harmful to the kidneys. If it causes Yuanyang to be damaged, The consequences will be serious.
2. Soaking feet in warm water can relax muscles and activate blood circulation, warm and nourish kidney yang, which is a very good fitness operation.
3. You can eat more black food in the evening, because black food can nourish the kidneys.
Question answered! Please leave a review! Thanks!
The specific method of "nourishing the stomach in the morning, nourishing the heart in the afternoon, and unblocking the pulse in the evening"
When it comes to health preservation, we cannot do without traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has been the culture and wisdom of our country for thousands of years. Treasure, in the process of continuous development by ancient people, a set of traditional Chinese medicine health care system was gradually formed. Yang means maintenance and nourishment; Sheng means life and growth. Health preservation is based on the laws of life occurrence and development, through diet, exercise and other methods to achieve the purpose of protecting physical and mental health and prolonging life. Among them, “maintaining health in good time” is also the most commonly mentioned one.
First of all, we often talk about nourishing the stomach early. Seven to nine o'clock in the morning is the golden time to nourish the stomach, because during this time, qi and blood flow through the stomach. The elderly often suffer from indigestion, constipation and other discomforts. So when you get up at seven in the morning, you need to drink a glass of warm water to promote gastrointestinal motility. As the old saying goes: "Stomach disease is 30% cured and 70% nourished." A good breakfast is also a must. A good breakfast pays more attention to nutritional balance, including dairy products, cereals, soy products, and a small amount of vegetables and fruits. Don't be greedy for too much of any food.
When it comes to nourishing the heart at noon, it usually refers to the time from eleven o'clock to thirteen o'clock, because the Heart Sutra is in season at this time, which is the most suitable time to nourish the heart. Traditional Chinese medicine calls the heart "the master of the five internal organs", which is inseparable from the function of the heart as the master of the gods. Therefore, taking a nap half an hour after a meal is not only beneficial to replenishing sleep, but also beneficial to improving the coronary blood supply to the heart.
The last thing I want to talk about is late night meridians, which usually refers to the time from 9pm to 11pm. Since this is the time when the triple burner meridian is in order, it is also a good time to increase vitality and unblock the meridians. You can open your pulse at night by doing three actions, namely combing your hair with your fingers, soaking your feet in warm water, and beating your back before going to bed. It should be noted that the water temperature for foot bathing must be moderate and should not be overheated.
Conclusion
Health preservation is a living habit that requires long-term persistence. Maintaining health in time is to make the human body comply with the natural changes in the four seasons and day and night, and maintain the balance between the body and nature. A healthy way to balance your own yin and yang. The three golden moments of health care are our morning, noon and evening, especially in the cold winter.
Nourishing the stomach in the morning, nourishing the heart in the afternoon, and unblocking the pulse in the evening: How to implement the timely health regimen that is especially suitable for the elderly?
Health preservation is about overall responsibility for people. It doesn’t matter who I am. The key is to know and understand the meaning. Don’t get into misunderstandings.
Nourishing the stomach early? Why is there such a saying? There is a misunderstanding in it. I hope you will read it carefully. The "Huangdi Neijing" says: Eat well in the morning. The eating well mentioned here does not refer to the health of the stomach. It is required to be done in the perfect plan of the entire body. conditions. "Huangdi Neijing" reminds people that eating well in the morning does not mean nourishing the stomach. It points out the way to reflect the vitality reflected by each person throughout the day. Why does it say this? Because the various substances and nutrients absorbed by the human stomach are the key to transmitting the physiological organs of the whole body. , people with a good stomach absorb more. A person’s so-called physical energy is mainly determined by the amount absorbed by the stomach. Similarly, a person’s mental state and complexion throughout the day are related to what is said in the "Huangdi Neijing" about eating well in the morning. , let me tell you here, if you eat more green food in the morning, then the luster you will reflect throughout the day will be more energetic. If all you eat are steamed buns, then what you will reflect will be dryness. If you don’t believe it, you can go to a Just try it and you will know.
Nowadays, many people regard early stomach nourishment as the key point of health care. It is good, but most people have entered into serious misunderstandings. 1. Many people do not eat in the morning, saying that not eating will hurt the stomach. 2. Eat dairy products exclusively. They are said to be rich in nutrients and not harmful to the stomach. At this point, I will ask, what is enriched? Where do the energy antibodies from not eating come from? These health-preserving foods and methods lead to partial eclipse and deficiency. I hope everyone will understand.
I hope everyone will not misunderstand the concept of nourishing the stomach early. It is more comfortable to adapt naturally. Due to time constraints, I will share with you topics such as nourishing the mind when I have time in the rest of the afternoon.
The above is just my personal method experience. Don't talk about big principles, be realistic.
Doctor Liu is right, he follows the meridian flow rules of the human body at twelve o'clock: Lung Yin Damao Stomach Chen Gong, Spleen Si Heart Wu Xiao Wei, Shen Shi You Kidney Pericardium Xu, Hai Jiaozi gallbladder and ugly liver. ...it points out the key points of health preservation, especially for elderly comrades. According to their own health conditions, they can choose what suits them in terms of exercise, diet, and work and rest. If they insist on implementing it, they will live longer.
As people get older, they need to be aware of what they should and should not do in daily life. They should formulate a routine of life, from food, clothing, housing and transportation, to suit their age and physical needs. They should be comfortable for themselves, harmonious for the whole family, and avoid causing chaos to society. See the group is all elephant stone.
Seven to nine in the morning. It is the spleen meridian in order. So eat nutritious foods at this time. Pay attention to breakfast.
Noon is from one to three o'clock, which is the time for the Heart Sutra. So nourish your mind at this time.
Open all meridians at night.
The combination of time and meridians for health preservation! This is going with the flow, going with the times!
I admire you for expressing the way of maintaining health in a simple and insightful way, but it is not an easy thing to do, it is even troublesome, cumbersome and difficult.
