Nowadays, many elderly friends have their own health care methods, such as walking , playing Tai Chi , playing table tennis, swimming, mountaineering, etc. Wang Dongxu, famous Chinese medicine doctor in Nanjing and chief physician of the Department of Geriatrics, Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine, introduced that in fact, some traditional health care methods with a long history are not out of date, and are of great benefit to prolonging life. For example, you might as well learn these three tricks introduced below.
Close your eyes and rest your mind and keep your eyes open
During old eyesight, still clear
Capillary, also known as cataract fat, most of which occur in middle-aged and elderly people, mostly outdoor workers. Camouflage fat has little effect on vision in the early stage, but if it is released, it will cover the entire pupil when it reaches the center of the cornea, which will seriously affect vision. Moreover, the bigger the cataract, the more it will invade deeper the cornea. Even if the cataract is removed, it will leave scars on the cornea and will still be unable to see clearly.
From the perspective of current medical anatomy, the essence of eliminating cataracts is the self-active massage of the eyes. It massages the nerves and muscles of the eyes through active movement of the eyes, so that the qi and blood in the eyes are unblocked, and the neurons are improved, so as to eliminate ciliary muscle tension or spasm and eliminate cataract fat in the early stage.
The specific method of eliminating eyes and removing cataracts is: Close your eyes and turn your eyes, seven times each on the left and right, and then suddenly open your eyes wide and quickly check the object, and feel that there is heat in your eyes. When turning your eyes, hold your breath briefly at the mouth and nose. When you open your eyes, try your best to expel turbid air with your mouth and inhale clean air, seven times each.
Test teeth after meals are often knocked after meals
Test teeth are firm and firm without any trouble
Test teeth are tapped promotes blood circulation around the teeth and the pulp cavity, increases the supply of teeth nutrition, and can reduce the occurrence of dental diseases such as Carcity . Regular teeth tapping can exercise facial muscles, the cheeks are not prone to collapse, and they are chewed vigorously, so that the teeth are not prone to loosening or falling off. It also has a mild stimulating effect on the brain when tapping teeth, and has a certain effect on improving hearing and preventing tinnitus and .
The specific operation for tapping teeth is as follows: The tip of the tongue gently presses the upper palate, and the upper and lower teeth hit each other several times. When you tap your teeth, your mind is concentrated and your lips are closed lightly. After knocking your teeth, use your tongue to stir around the inner and outer sides of the upper and lower teeth, and slowly swallow the saliva. Generally speaking, do it once in the morning after getting up, after lunch, and before going to bed, each time for about three minutes.
After meal, massage the face and the belly
Advance teeth, good stomach and intestinal pathway
Ming Dynasty doctor Gong Juzhong described the details of health care after eating in his health monograph: "Every time you finish eating, use your hands to rub the face and abdomen to allow the body fluid to flow." It means "use your hands to rub the face and abdomen" after eating. Why can do this "make the body fluid to flow"?
The body fluid here has two meanings: one refers to water and grain body fluid; the other refers to saliva. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the production of body fluids comes from water and nutrients in the diet. These substances are absorbed, decomposed and digested by the stomach. The subtle part is transmitted to the small intestine, and the small intestine is clear and turbid, absorbing the nutrient-rich essence of water and grain, and transporting it upwards to the spleen. The dregs are transferred to , large intestine , and the large intestine absorbs residual water in the dregs, forming feces, and excreting them from the anus. Therefore, mopping the abdomen after eating can help promote gastrointestinal motility and blood circulation in the abdominal cavity, and is a process that helps the water and valley body fluids be better digested, absorbed and excreted in the human body.
Hand rubbed face is actually the well-known dry-cleaning face . It can move the facial muscles, accelerate the microcirculation of the capillaries on the face, make the facial skin more elastic, and also stimulate salivary glands and increase saliva secretion. Health preservationists in my country all dynasties have known the importance of saliva and believe that it has the effect of prolonging life. There are many good names for saliva, such as "Jinjin", "Jade Li", "Nianyu", "Nanlu", "Yuli", "Huachi Shenshui", etc.The basic physiological function of saliva is to moisten and clean the mouth, eliminate bacteria that produce tartar, dissolve substances that are harmful to the teeth, soften food for swallowing, and decompose starch and have a digestive effect. If the amylase in saliva is weakened, it will affect the digestion of food and will easily lead to gastrointestinal inflammation or ulcers due to the inability to protect the gastrointestinal mucosa from gastric acid damage.
When massage the abdomen, massage slowly and gently clockwise with the palm of your palm, with a slight fever in the abdomen.
When you get up, sit facing the south end, close your eyes and concentrate for a while, rub your palms against each other and make heat, massage your face with your palms, then apply flat to the middle of your forehead to your chin, and then apply it from the side to your forehead, so that the face slowly feels hot.
