Although Western medicine can now solve most of the body's diseases, with the continuous development of traditional Chinese medicine, it has achieved better results than Western medicine in the treatment of some diseases.

Health proverbs derived from traditional Chinese medicine also guide the health care direction of many middle-aged and elderly people.

For example, "The old man releases residual semen, and the old man is exhausted.". What does this ancient saying mean? What different changes can it bring to the health of the elderly?

The ancients said: What does this sentence mean when you release residual semen and your life span ends?

Many people should have an intuitive understanding of this sentence when they first see it. It is believed that this sentence refers to the fact that when a person gets old, if he does not exercise restraint in his sexual life and ejaculates out the few remaining essences in the body, his lifespan will not be long.

The kidney is the foundation of innateness, the place where essence is stored. The speed of recovering essence will decrease as people get older. This way of understanding is not wrong, but it is not comprehensive.

The essence here actually refers not only to the essence, but to the "yang energy" in the body. It can also refer to the essence of a person. As the old saying goes, "The body's hair and skin are inherited from the parents, and we dare not harm it." Since people are born, they are born with essence. This essence comes from the parents, and can also be called " Yuanyin".

It is recorded in "Suwen" that "The excess of evil energy will be real, and the deprivation of essence and energy will be empty." So what exactly is the essence of the human body made of?

In traditional Chinese medicine, how to explain the "innate essence" in the human body? What about "acquired essence"?

. "Suwen·Golden Chamber Mantra" mentioned: The husband's essence is also the root of the body. The foundation of the human body lies in the sustenance of whole grains and grains, and the essence here also refers to the essence of water and cereals. Through the transportation and transformation of the spleen and stomach, the body transports the essence of water and grains to the internal organs, providing the body's daily consumption of essence and replenishing the innate essence.

. Innate essence can also refer to "reproductive essence".

4. Innate essence can also refer to righteousness . It is recorded in "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic": If the Yang Qi loses its place in the sky and the sun, the life span will be shortened. There are yin and yang in the human body and qi. Excessive yang means yin deficiency and all diseases are invulnerable . When yang is deficient, yin is exuberant and all kinds of diseases will occur. People who lose Yang Qi will find it difficult to maintain good health and their life span will be shortened.

Seeing this, I believe that everyone has a deeper understanding of the essence in old age and old age. Although the essence here also means reproductive essence, it also refers to the innate essence in the human body. Essence and acquired essence. Due to aging, the elderly's body's essence recovers slowly, so it is difficult to recover quickly after losing essence. External evil will take advantage of the situation and cause physical damage and illness.

However, many people do not understand traditional Chinese medicine and think that these are the delusions of the ancients. It is better to use Western medicine methods to explain, what is the innate essence of the human body?

The human body decomposes food into various nutrients through digestion in the intestines and stomach. These nutrients require the help of the blood and spleen and stomach to be transported to various parts of the body. Various organs metabolize nutrients and evaporate heat, which is the source of yang energy in the body.

The stronger the organ function, the more calories will be metabolized, and the human body will naturally be healthier. At this time, from the outside, it naturally appears that there is sufficient energy and good health.

Of course, Western medicine is a bit one-sided after all, and the description is not comprehensive enough. Traditional Chinese medicine’s explanation of essence is much broader than that of Western medicine. However, through the research of Western medicine, many people can re-understand the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, which is also good for the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

Since the essence of the human body is so important to the body. So is it true that the more essence in the body the healthier the body is? In fact, the answer is not that. The ancients have already considered it for us, but few people pay attention to it.

In fact, old age leaks residual essence, and a person's life span is exhausted. The next sentence is the essence.

What is "Eat less to strengthen the fire, and bring disaster on yourself"?

This sentence means that when a person is young, whether it is innate essence or acquired The essence is at its peak. At this time, young people's yang energy is strong, and they are naturally immune to all diseases.

However, if you eat some foods that are more nourishing or supplementing yang qi , it will lead to excessive yang qi and excess essence, resulting in yin and yang imbalance. At this time, it will attract diseases.

Only by adding these two sentences together can we see the true intention of the ancients. For the elderly, the recovery of essence is slow, which is an innate problem. If it is released indiscriminately, it will inevitably lead to disaster. However, young people's energy is too strong. If they don't know how to control it and replenish their energy excessively, it will be harmful to their health. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine health care emphasizes the balance of yin and yang. Eat moderately and live a regular life , and you will naturally be immune to all diseases.

How can we keep the residual sperm in our body after we are over 60 years old?

Eating in moderation and living regularly

This is recorded in the "Huangdi Neijing": Eating in moderation and living in moderation will help you live a hundred years. Go to . After people age, they want to ensure that their essence is stable and they want to enjoy their lives peacefully. It starts with diet and daily life.

Eating in moderation, not overeating, nor being overly frugal. The essence in food is the source of acquired essence and the supplement of innate essence. Only with a combination of meat and vegetables and a moderate amount of food can the residual sperm in the body be preserved.

Daily life with constant means: people should follow nature and follow the laws of heaven and earth. Work at sunrise and rest at sunset. When the sun goes down, it’s time to go to bed on time. When the sun rises, get ready to get up. Only by maintaining a regular schedule can you enjoy a hundred years of peace.

Exertion leads to energy consumption and a variety of diseases.

Overexertion can also damage the body’s essence and cause the growth of many diseases. The labor here is not just physical fatigue, but also mental fatigue. Both will damage the body's essence.

Many elderly people, even after retirement, often miss the trivial matters at home and have to do everything by themselves. These losses will lead to the loss of body essence, and naturally it is impossible to obtain a healthy body and enjoy a longer life.

The old man loses his remaining essence and his life is exhausted. This sentence tells us that after old age, the most important thing in maintaining health is to keep the essence. If the essence and qi are sufficient, all diseases will be avoided. If the essence and qi are deficient, life span will be lost. If you want to preserve the remaining essence in your body, you must eat in moderation, live in moderation, and keep your mind pure and nourished. As long as you do these things, you will be able to live your old age naturally without getting sick.
