Twelve hours and health care

Childhood-sleep protects yang.

Midnight 1 1 till morning 1 It's called Zishi. This time is the negative pole of Tai Chi life clock in a day. According to the law of the growth and decline of Yin and Yang, Yin is the heaviest at this time, and Yin dominates sleep, so we must follow this law of the growth and decline of Yin and Yang, and we will be in a state of deep sleep at this time. Attention, everyone, it is not this time to sleep, but this time should have been in a deep sleep state. So when should I go to bed? It should be around 10.

When I was a child, I was on duty. When bravery is born in the sun, it happens that the yang has just grown out and it is still very weak. We need to protect this Yang in particular. How should we protect it? Sleep is best for protection, so stop dancing, singing and sleeping in the middle of the night. Yang will be raised at this time, and it should be protected from its young age.

Ugly Time-Hematopoietic Time of Liver Meridian

Clown is 65438+ 0 am to 3 am, and the liver meridian is on duty. The liver meridian is the main source of hair growth, and the yang at this time is a little bigger than that when the gallbladder meridian is on duty. It is at this time that the liver needs detoxification and hematopoiesis, so don't drink in the middle of the night and don't indulge in games. At this time, the human body should rest and the liver should work. Patients with liver disease are mostly people who love to stay up late, because the liver needs to make blood and detoxify in the middle of the night. If it is not given a chance to breathe, it will naturally get sick.

Yin Shi-the best time to feel your pulse.

What time is it from 3 pm to 5 pm? It's called pingdan at this time. Because at this time, the weather will start to balance, and Yin and Yang will start to balance. At this time, the lung meridian is on duty. At this time, it was just dawn, and the pulse condition of traditional Chinese medicine was the most accurate time. We can see whether your pulse is hard or not. People over 40 should consider whether they have high blood pressure. If your pulse is tight in your twenties and thirties, it may be too much work pressure or anxiety. A tight and hard pulse is called a chord pulse. If it is a string pulse, it is necessary to consider whether there is hyperlipidemia or arteriosclerosis.

Shi Mao-Drink water on an empty stomach to expel toxins.

Shi Mao is on duty for the large intestine. It's 5: 00 to 7: 00 in the morning. 12 hour health preservation has a key point, that is, drink a glass of empty stomach water after getting up in Mao hours. People with constipation can help you reduce constipation by doing so. Because at this time, the essence of the large intestine begins to flourish. Once the large intestine is encouraged, with the help of your water, the stool will come down, which can help you detoxify. You know, the poison in the stool accounts for 50% of all the poison in the human body. Shi Mao's qi and blood flow in the meridians of the large intestine, and Shi Mao's heaven and earth represent the opening of Tianmen and February. Everything comes out of the ground because of the growth of yang, which is the best time to defecate. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the lung and the large intestine are in the exterior and interior", when the qi in the lung is abundant in yin, the stool can be normal to the hair.

Chen Shi-Breakfast nutrition should be balanced.

By dawn, it was the stomach meridian on duty. This time is from 7 to 9. At 7 o'clock, we will have breakfast. At this time, the stomach is on duty, so the stomach is most likely to accept food at this time. There must be animal protein for breakfast, and there must be no meat. For example, you can't soak rice with pickles. You have to add something with animal protein, a little meat or eggs.

Shi Si-the first prime time for work and study.

Next, it is the fourth time from 9 am to 1 1, which is the time for the spleen to be on duty. The spleen meridian is mainly digested, and nutrition should be absorbed at this time. This time is also the most energetic time for the brain, the first prime time in a person's day, the best time for the elderly to exercise, the most efficient time for office workers, and the most efficient time for people who go to school. Therefore, we must have a good breakfast to ensure that the spleen meridian has enough nutrition absorption, so that the brain has energy to cope with daily operation.

At noon-have a good sleep, take a nap and raise yang.

At noon 1 1 to afternoon 1, the heart is on duty. At this time, everyone should pay attention to the fact that when the heart meridian is on duty, they should have lunch and take a nap, because according to the law of Tai Chi's yin and yang gasification, the yang is the most prosperous at this time. Huangdi Neijing says that yin belongs to the Lord and sleeping is the Lord; Yang is outside the Lord, and the Lord wakes up. At noon, the sun is at its peak. Let's have a rest after lunch and then go on working. This time is also efficient. People with yang deficiency should have a good sleep at this time, which is the most nourishing yang. Yang is not empty or full. What about normal people? We only need to rest for half an hour to an hour at noon to nourish our heart sutra. Because our hearts are very tired, unless you are a strong person, you can not take a nap. Generally speaking, you still need to take a nap. Lying flat after a nap makes the brain and liver get blood, which is beneficial to brain maintenance.

There is a saying in Huangdi Neijing that "when lying down, blood will return to the liver". You should lie flat, so that blood can nourish the liver. The liver plays an important role in delivering blood to the human body. After you take a nap, the liver can send blood to your brain to ensure your work efficiency, so it is best to lie flat during the nap. What are the benefits of lying flat? Is to protect your cervical and lumbar vertebrae. A person's skeleton is like a pillar of a house. I'm very tired because I support my body all day. So if you look at the elderly, there will be more diseases in your bones. Lie down after a nap, the cervical spine can rest and the waist can rest for a while. In the long run, you won't get diseases such as lumbar hyperplasia, cervical spondylosis and sciatica, so it is very important to have a lunch break at noon.

Not yet-protect blood vessels and drink plenty of water.

After noon, 1 arrives at 3 pm, which is late. At this time, the small intestine is on duty. The small intestine absorbs almost all the nutrients in the food and sends them to the blood. The blood is full, just like the cars on the street at work, which is very crowded. At this time, you must drink a glass of water or tea to dilute your blood. Because the blood of the human body is very nutritious and sticky at this time, it is necessary to dilute the blood, so as to protect the blood vessels.

Application time-the second golden time for work and study

It is time to apply before the deadline. From 3 pm to 5 pm, everyone should pay attention. This is our second prime time. At this time, the small intestine meridian has sent all the nutrition of lunch to the brain, and the brain is very energetic at this time, so it is necessary to work hard and improve efficiency.

One Yuan Time —— The Best Time to Prevent Nephropathy

Then it's time, that is, from 5 pm to 7 pm. At this time, the kidney meridian is on duty, and we need to drink another glass of water. This glass of water is very important. It can help us detoxify and clean your kidneys and bladder, so as to avoid kidney calculi, bladder cancer and nephritis.

Time-the third golden time for work and study

Further down, it is time, that is, from 7: 00 to 9: 00 in the evening, the pericardium is on duty. When pericardium sutra is on duty, our mood is smoother. This time is the third golden period of our day. At this time, you can study and take a walk to exercise. However, at the end of the shift, you may need to drink another cup of light tea or water after you come back from a walk to keep your blood vessels open.

Shihai-get ready to have a rest

Then there is the time to go to Shihai, that is, from 9: 00 p.m. to 1 1. At this time, you should rest, get ready for sleep, or get along well with your husband and wife. This is the best time. You must sleep at 10. At this point, the 12 hour regimen has all been introduced. Its law is based on meridians and viscera, as well as yin and yang qi to preserve health.

Time is divided into upper time, middle time and lower time: how long is a time? The last time was 40 minutes before the morning, the first time was 40 minutes in the middle of the morning, and the next time was 40 minutes later? I don't know about that. Ask god for an answer.
