Health regimen for different body types

Nine different constitutions and corresponding health maintenance methods

The classification of traditional Chinese medicine constitutions is mainly based on the basic theories of yin and yang and five elements, viscera, essence, blood, body fluids, etc. to identify different individuals in the population. Physical differences. Everyone's physical condition is different, but in general it can be divided into nine different constitutions, and corresponding health formulas are provided. At the same time, people are very complex organisms, and a simple constitution is far inferior to a complex constitution, that is, a person There may be two or more physical characteristics of the same body, and this composite physique also requires a complex health formula

1. Peaceful constitution

A balanced constitution is the most stable and healthy constitution! The general reason is good congenital endowment and proper nurture. Peaceful constitution is a traditional Chinese medicine health-preserving state characterized by a moderate body shape, a ruddy complexion, full of energy, and strong and robust organ function. The proportion of people with peaceful qualities is about 32.75%, which is about one-third. There are more men than women, and the older you get, the less people have an even constitution.

Common manifestations include moist complexion, thick and shiny hair, bright eyes, bright nose, clear sense of smell, normal sense of taste, ruddy lips, high energy, not easy to fatigue, tolerance to cold and heat, poor sleep quality Peaceful, good appetite, normal bowel movements, light red tongue, thin and white fur, and smooth and energetic pulse.

Health care

1. Reasonable diet: Daily diet mainly includes grains, meat and eggs, dairy products, soy products, vegetables and fruits. Pay attention to the matching of meat dishes and vegetarian dishes, and avoid repeated pairing of the same type of food. "Breakfast should be good, lunch should be full, and dinner should be small." This is the health motto of the ancients. Modern nutritionists advocate that "breakfast accounts for 25% of the whole day, lunch accounts for 40%, and dinner accounts for 35%", which is the embodiment of modern people's health care.

2. Get enough sleep: One-third of a person’s life is spent sleeping. Medical research shows that in deep sleep, human cells can repair themselves, especially the sleep between 10 o'clock at night and 3 o'clock in the morning is called beauty sleep, which can eliminate toxins from the body and restore human body functions.

Mind balance: Disease not only affects our body, but also poses a threat to our psychology. In the face of disease, we should treat it with a healthy mentality, have full confidence in scientific treatment, and have full confidence in our own perseverance. Any depression or anxiety will affect normal life, our work, rest, and diet. Therefore, it is very important to face the disease with a healthy mentality.

Moderate exercise

Moderate exercise plays an important role in the metabolism, operation and nutrient absorption of various organs in the body. Generally speaking, a person needs half an hour of exercise every day, and aerobic exercise is better. You can practice more Tai Chi. Another exercise is walking. Walking for half an hour a day is not tiring and can exercise your body. So now many office workers will get off the train one stop in advance and walk to their workplace, which is very beneficial.

Dietary conditioning

For people with a peaceful nature, dietary conditioning is suitable for health care rather than medicinal supplements, because peaceful people have balanced yin and yang and do not need drugs to correct the imbalance of yin and yang. If you use supplements with drugs, it will easily destroy the balance of yin and yang. When it comes to dietary preparation, we must first “harmonize the five flavors”. The diet should be light and there should be no partiality. Excessive taste for the five flavors will destroy the body's balance. For example, too much acidity damages the spleen, too much saltiness damages the heart, too much sweetness damages the kidneys, too much pungency damages the liver, and too much bitterness damages the lungs.

2． Yang deficiency constitution

The characteristics are similar to those of cold constitution, which means insufficient yang energy and signs of coldness, manifested by fatigue and fear of cold, cold limbs, pale lips, lack of energy and laziness, excessive blinking and fatigue, and male spermatorrhea. Women have thin leucorrhea, prone to diarrhea, frequent urination, especially at night, and decreased sexual desire. People with yang deficiency constitution are usually afraid of cold, their hands and feet are not warm, and they sweat easily; they like hot food, have low energy, and sleep too much; they have long and clear urine and loose stools.

Common symptoms of Yang deficiency constitution include frequent nocturia, frequent urination, and clear urine. When drinking water, it passes through the intestines and is urinated directly, lacking transpiration and gasification. But I urinate a lot during the day and I have to get up two or three times at night. Frequent nocturia in the elderly is a sign of normal aging of yang energy. If children wet the bed, middle-aged people and young people often urinate at night, it means yang deficiency. Be careful not to eat too much cold and frozen food, and use as little antibiotics and heat-clearing and detoxifying Chinese medicine as possible to protect Yang Qi.

Health and conditioning

1. People with insufficient yang qi often show poor mood. For example, those with liver yang deficiency are prone to fear, and those with heart yang deficiency are prone to sadness. Therefore, you must be good at regulating your emotions and eliminate or reduce the impact of bad emotions. As the saying goes, medicinal supplements are not as good as food supplements, and food supplements are not as good as divine supplements. Although it sounds a bit mysterious, it is not difficult to understand based on the "correspondence of form and spirit". "The spirit is to the body as the king is to the country." It means that the spirit can control the body. In the bleak late autumn and early winter, people who are afraid of the cold and have insufficient yang energy are more likely to feel the heavy yin energy of late autumn and feel sad. The following points can help people with yang deficiency to spend the cold autumn comfortably: watching comedies, basking in the sun, gathering with friends and family, tasting delicious food, going on outings, saying good things, and soaking in hot springs.

2. This kind of people have poor ability to adapt to changes in cold and heat. They will feel unbearable if it gets colder even slightly. Therefore, in the severe cold winter, we should "avoid the cold and stay warm", and in the spring and summer, we should pay attention to cultivating Yang Qi. "Never tired of the sun", someone pointed out that if you can sunbathe twenty to thirty times in summer, for fifteen to twenty minutes each time, you can greatly improve your ability to adapt to the severe cold climate in winter.

Because the human body's yang energy tends to the surface of the body in summer, and pores and body tissues open up, people with a yang-deficient constitution must not sleep outdoors, and do not let the fan blow directly while sleeping; in rooms with air conditioning equipment, be careful not to make the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor too large. At the same time, avoid staying under the shade of trees, in water pavilions, or in corridors with strong winds. If you don't pay attention to preventing cold in summer and just want to be quick, it will be more likely to cause numbness of hands and feet or facial paralysis and other so-called "wind paralysis" diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. occurrence.

3. Yang deficiency constitution has many forms of cold limbs, likes warmth and is afraid of cold, and can withstand spring and summer but not autumn and winter. It is necessary to nourish Yang in spring and summer, and not be greedy for coolness in summer. Do not let the air conditioner temperature be too low, and pay attention to keeping warm. Pay special attention to protecting the back and front abdomen. Girls must pay attention to keeping their waist and legs warm. It is best to wear long socks or long pants in air-conditioned rooms to avoid cold. In summer, don't let the cool breeze blow directly, and don't stay under the shade of trees for too long. Movement generates yang, and exercise must be strengthened. Don't stay up late and don't stay up past 11 o'clock at night. It's best to go to bed after 10 o'clock in winter.

Moderate exercise

Because "movement generates yang", people with yang deficiency constitution should strengthen physical exercise, and do it 1 to 2 times a day in spring, summer, autumn and winter. The specific items depend on physical strength, such as yoga, walking, jogging, Tai Chi, Wu Qin Xi, Baduan Jin, internal exercises, workshop exercises, ball games and various dance activities, etc. They can also be done regularly in the sun. , air bath, strong Yang Wei. In terms of qigong, we insist on doing strengthening exercises, standing exercises, health-care exercises, and longevity exercises. To nourish yin in autumn and winter, it means not to sweat profusely, and it is most appropriate to keep the amount of exercise to a slight level of sweating. If you have cold hands and feet during this season due to Yang deficiency, it means that there is less Yang energy in the body, the Wei Yang is not strong, and the muscles cannot be warmed to resist the invasion of external cold evil. You can improve it through these methods, and keep doing it, otherwise the winter will be very difficult. 1. Soak your hands and feet with mugwort leaves every night before going to bed. 2. Golden Rooster is independent, close your eyes, and stand on one foot. If you can't stand, practice slowly. Your feet and calves will feel warm in 5 minutes. 3.

Commonly used prescriptions include Sijunzi Decoction, Siwu Decoction, Danggui Buxue Decoction, etc.

(2) Replenishing qi and generating blood

The material basis of blood is essence, and to promote the transformation of essence into blood, qi is used as the driving force. Li Zhongzi of the Qing Dynasty said in "Must-Read for Medical Sects": "Both blood and qi are needed, and replenishing qi comes first before replenishing blood; both yin and yang are needed, and nourishing yang is above nourishing yin." "Breakdown of Febrile Diseases" said: "Those who are good at treating blood "We don't seek tangible blood, but seek invisible Qi." "Jingyue Quanshu" says: "Tangible blood is difficult to produce quickly, and invisible Qi should be quickly consolidated." In clinical medicine, it is based on "Qi can generate blood."

(5) Detoxification and blood production

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that regardless of the internal injury to the seven emotions or the external six emotions, long-term depression can turn into fire, and hot gas is most likely to consume blood and damage yin. Furthermore, chemical, physical, and biological evil poisons can invade the liver and kidneys, which can directly cause a deficiency of the essence, resulting in no source of blood production. Internally trapped evil poisons or stagnant fire from the seven emotions can block the meridians and form blood stasis, resulting in the inability of new blood to be produced, so it is necessary to clear away heat and detoxify. Commonly used prescriptions include Xijiao Dihuang Decoction, Sanhuang Gypsum Decoction, Yinchenhao Decoction, Wuwei Dihuang Decoction, Qingying Decoction, Qingwen Baidu Decoction, etc. Commonly used heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs include dandelion, silver flower, forsythia, diffusa, isatis root, Daqingye, coptis, skullcap, Phellodendron, purpurea, rhubarb, comfrey, artemisia, Scutellaria barbata, etc. It is mostly used clinically for acute aplastic anemia, acute leukemia, hemolytic anemia, etc.
