Blood is the lifeblood

Chapter 22 Lifestyle to maintain health—nourishing qi and blood lies in the details of life (3)
2. Indulging in lust
The brain is born of the kidneys, and indulgence will inevitably damage the kidneys. Depletion of kidney essence will naturally fail to fill the brain, so people with kidney deficiency will experience empty brains, and even lethargy and confusion.This was often the case with ancient emperors, because he had too many concubines.

3. Indulgence
Because bones are produced in the kidney and bone marrow is produced in the essence of the kidney, the bones of those who indulge in lust are brittle and easily broken.No wonder the ancients regarded indulgence as an ax that breaks bones, as the "Yin Talisman Classic" said: "Lawful beauty is also an ax that breaks bones."

4. Indulgence hurts the ears

Because the kidney governs the ears, and the nourishment of the ears depends on the kidney essence, the indulgent person is prone to tinnitus and deafness.

When it comes to sexual intercourse, humans are different from animals.Human beings not only have spiritual thoughts and ethical and moral concepts, but also have strong will and self-discipline.After all, sex life is only a part of life, and it is a small part of the content. Recognizing the above content, we must try our best to overcome the bad habit of excessive indulgence.

The objective standard to measure whether the frequency of sexual life is appropriate is whether you are full of energy and happy in body and mind the next morning.If the following situations occur on the second day or within a few days after sexual intercourse, and no other reasons can be found, it can be considered excessive, and you should exercise restraint and extend the interval of sexual life appropriately.

(1) Mental fatigue, listlessness, listlessness, easy to feel tired at work, lack of concentration in study, and drowsiness.

(2) General weakness, sore waist and weak legs, lazy to move, light-headed, dizzy, staring eyes.

(3) Pale complexion, dull eyes, haggard demeanor, emaciated body.

(4) Shortness of breath and heartbeat, occasional sweating, insomnia and dreaminess, difficulty falling asleep.

(5) Loss of appetite, lack of appetite, poor appetite, and mild nausea.

If the above situation occurs, it should be corrected in time to reduce the frequency of sex life. In severe cases, sex life should be suspended for a period of time.However, there is no need to worry too much about this, because the general sex life is excessive, as long as you temporarily stop the sex life for a period of time, pay attention to rest, and strengthen nutrition, it will not seriously affect your health.Of course, if you continue to indulge yourself, the consequences will be bad.

Avoid sex that hurts the blood
[Qi and Blood Health Sutra] When men and women have sex, they should adopt correct posture, breathing and thoughts, so as to achieve intercourse health care without ejaculation and gas consumption.This is the same as the principle of "do little work, don't overdo it" in sports for the purpose of fitness, that is, move without venting.

With the improvement of people's requirements for the quality of life and the openness of sexual concepts, all kinds of sexual information are "selling" to the vast number of netizens, such as various sex skills and postures, etc., just as an article said "Sex postures— It will take two years to complete the trial", which is really confusing.In fact, due to the lack of knowledge about the sexes, harmful sexual intercourse between men and women often occurs, which not only affects the health of the body, but also causes psychological damage to both parties. Therefore, harmful sexual intercourse must be avoided.Harmful sexual intercourse is first of all the way of sex that hurts the blood.The way of sex is unscientific, and the consequences of harming the blood of the human body are very serious.

In 2007, the hottest topic in the movie circle came from "Lust, Caution". Three of the difficult sex scenes were classics, which not only made the stars exclaim "it's amazing, it's amazing", but also made many young men and women eager to imitate .Experts remind in time that the more sex positions the better, the difficult sex actions will cause unnecessary damage to the bodies of both men and women, so it is not suitable to imitate.

I thought it was because the experts were too meddlesome, but I didn’t expect it to be true. In one of his articles, a sex education expert revealed that a woman asked for help from his sex hotline, saying that she imitated the director’s design for the actors in the play. A difficult yoga "movement", the woman was injured and bled, and said she would go to court, suing the director for not stating in advance not to imitate.

The ancients believed that a principled sexual life can nourish the essence, restore the vigorous energy of the elderly, and prevent the young and middle-aged from premature weakness, while excessively indulgent sex is not good for health.Sun Simiao wrote the article "Benefits in the House" in "Prescriptions for Emergencies", which is devoted to sexual life. He emphasized the principles and methods of intercourse between men and women, and warned young people not to indulge their lusts by relying on youth and strength. Men over 40 years old should Pay attention to temperance in sexual life.The book also mentions that, except for diseases such as sexual dysfunction that require medication, healthy people should not abuse traditional Chinese medicine, and clarifies that the specific method of intercourse between men and women is "before intercourse, the couple should play slowly for a long time" to achieve lingering affection, Only when the man is about to ejaculate, he retracts his lower part and abdomen, quickly presses the perineum point with the middle two fingers of his left hand, then exhales long and long, and taps his upper and lower teeth a thousand times.

"Secrets of Yufang" is an authoritative book on "fangzhongshu" in my country, and the book mentions "there is no inappropriateness in the past and present of Hengzhi".This book emphasizes that a moderate and restrained sex life can not only allow people to enjoy the comfort of the bed, but also have the benefits of strengthening the body and longevity.And "Health Prescription" is a collection of prescriptions. The book holds that diet can nourish the body, and indulgence will damage life.In addition, it is necessary to understand the structure of women's vagina, and pay attention to various sex movements.It should be said that this view is very reasonable.

Modern people disdain or don't understand the happiness of health preservation, because it is manifested in behavior that is rebellious. They only want to enjoy the moment, and there is no restraint in doing anything, or it is called degree.In terms of sex, it always wants to show off its power and prestige for a while, to be happy for a while, to ejaculate all the semen, and dissipate all the true energy.If you don't understand that you should maintain a full state of essence, it is good for your body to vent when you are full of essence.

In terms of sex health, we should really learn from the ancients. They have already summed up a set of scientific intercourse health care methods for us to refer to, that is, "Eight Benefits":
Yiyi "Treating Qi": It means that you should practice Qigong Daoyin before sexual intercourse: get up in the morning and meditate, straighten your back, relax your buttocks, contract the levator ani muscles, and use your thoughts to guide Qi to make the whole body flow smoothly.

The second benefit is "foaming": it means to swallow the body fluid from time to time during sexual intercourse to nourish the body; it also means to wait for the vagina to secrete the fluid before having sex.

Sanyi "knowing the time": It means to grasp the timing of sexual intercourse, that is, both men and women should play with each other first, and then have sex after both men and women have sexual desires, and they must grasp the period of sexual excitement between men and women, and keep sexual synchronization, so that both parties can achieve sexual desire. harmonious.

Four benefits "qi storage": contract the anus at the same time of intercourse, guide the essence to gather in the anus, and twitch slowly, so that both men and women can benefit.

Wuyi "Hemo": refers to when the sexual intercourse enters the harmonious state of the blending of the two emotions, the penis is erect and firm, but do not twitch frequently, do not try to be fast during intercourse, and the pumping should be done gently and peacefully.

Six Benefits "Accumulation of Qi": It means that sexual intercourse should be restrained and stopped in moderation so as to accumulate essence.

Qiyi "waiting (waiting) to win": the sexual intercourse is about to end, the qi is running on the back, no more twitching, inhaling, guiding the qi downward, and the body is waiting quietly, so as to keep the essence full and not hurt the body. vitality.

Bayi "Dingqing": It means that the penis is drawn out when it is still erect, which is called Dingqing, and the penis should be cleaned at the same time.

In a word, this method of health preservation that incorporates qigong guidance into sexual intercourse can not only enable both parties to enjoy sexual enjoyment, but also enable both parties to practice, harmonize qi and blood, balance yin and yang, and prolong life.

The four seasons are different, nourishing Qi and blood according to the weather

[Qi and Blood Health Sutra] The change of yin and yang in the four seasons is the fundamental need for the birth, growth, collection and storage of all things in the world and nature during the evolution of life.We master the law of change in nature and can adapt to this change law. We maintain Yang Qi in spring and summer to meet the needs of growth, and maintain Yin Qi in autumn and winter to meet the needs of collection.

Ms. Zhang is 35 years old this year. Seeing that the most beautiful time of a woman has passed, Ms. Zhang is very anxious, and strives to lengthen the tail of youth at all costs.But recently she discovered a very miraculous natural phenomenon: in summer, the skin is relatively loose, but in autumn and winter, even without firming cream, the skin will be firmer.

Regarding this point, it has been discussed as early as in the "Huangdi Neijing". For example, in the article "Lingshu Wulong Jinyebie", it is said: "When the weather is hot, the clothes are thick, and the skin is open, so sweating... the weather is cold, the skin is open." If it is closed, the qi and dampness will not work, and if it stays in the bladder underwater, it will be drowning and qi.” It means that in spring and summer, qi and blood tend to tend to the surface, manifested as loose skin, sweating, etc.; When yang energy is stored, qi and blood tend to tend to the inside, manifested as dense skin, less sweating and more drowning, etc., to maintain and adjust the unity of man and nature.

Even the skin adjusts to the changing seasons, not to mention the rest of the body.Therefore, our one-year health preservation strategy should also be adjusted accordingly with the changes of the four seasons. In short, it is to follow the law.

Dharma-time health preservation means that health preservation should be synchronized with the weather and climate.To be more specific, it is the principle of health preservation in hot weather, and the principle of health preservation in cold weather.The general principle is to keep up with the weather, that is, to take care of our bodies in accordance with the yin and yang changes of nature.

The essence of Fashi health preservation is four seasons health preservation, according to the changes of temperature, heat, coolness and coldness in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

So how does climate change in nature specifically affect the human body?

First, the impact of the four seasons on human mental activities.

In the famous medical book "Huang Di Nei Jing", there is a special article discussing the impact of climate change in four seasons on human spiritual activities, namely "Su Wen·Four Atmospheric Adjustment of the Spirit Part II".Regarding this article, "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classics Direct Explanation" pointed out: "The four qi regulate the spirit, and follow the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter to regulate the expression of the liver, heart, spleen, lung, and kidney." The famous medical scientist Wu Hegao also said: "Speaking in accordance with the qi of the four seasons, adjusting the spirit, and curing the disease." The "qi of the four seasons" here refers to the climate of spring, summer, autumn, and winter; "God" refers to people's spiritual will .Climate change in the four seasons is a major aspect of the external environment. Mental activities are the masters of the visceral qi activities in the human body. The unity and coordination between the internal visceral qi and the external environment can ensure physical health.

Second, the influence of the four seasons on the activity of Qi and blood in the human body.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the impact of external climate changes on human qi and blood is also significant. For example, it is said in "Suwen·Bazhengshenlun": "When the weather is warm and sunny, the human blood will be soaked in liquid and the qi will float, so the blood is easy to diarrhea and the qi is easy to flow. When the sky is cold and the sun is cloudy, the human blood coagulates and weeps and the qi sinks." It means that when the weather is hot, the qi and blood flow freely, and when the weather is cold, the qi and blood stagnate and become astringent.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that qi and blood flow in the meridians, so changes in the movement of qi and blood will further cause changes in the pulse condition. The fish swim in the water waves; the summer vein is above the skin, and the pulse is full like everything is flourishing; the autumn vein is under the skin, as if a hibernating insect is about to hide; the winter vein is sinking in the bone, like Hidden insects hide very densely, just like people live indoors in winter to avoid the cold.

The above has fully illustrated that the change of natural climate has a significant impact on the human body's Qi and blood meridians.If the climate change exceeds the range that the human body can adapt to, it will hinder the movement of Qi and blood.For example, the "Huangdi Neijing" said: "The meridian is not circulating, and it is endless. When the cold air enters the meridian, it is delayed, and weeping does not move. If the guest is outside the meridian, the blood will be less, and if the guest is in the meridian, the qi will not flow, so the death will be painful." Here, weeping but not working means that the cold evil invades the outside of the meridians, making the blood flow difficult; if the cold evil invades the meridians, the blood disease will affect the qi, and the meridian qi cannot be unblocked, and pain will suddenly occur.

Third, the influence of the four seasons on the five internal organs.

In "Su Wen·Jin Kui Zhen Comments", it was clearly stated that "the five viscera respond to the four seasons, and each has its own response", that is, the five viscera correspond to the yin and yang of the four seasons in nature, and each has its own influence.

In fact, the influence of the four seasons climate on the five internal organs is very obvious. Take summer as an example, summer is the most active period of human metabolism, especially when there are a lot of outdoor activities, and the amount of activity is relatively increased. Days are long and nights are short, and the weather is particularly hot, so sleep time is less than other seasons.In this way, the energy in the body is consumed a lot, blood circulation is accelerated, and sweating is also increased.Therefore, in summer, the burden on the heart is particularly heavy. If you do not pay attention to strengthening the health care of heart function, it is easy to damage it.It can be seen that the view of "heart governing summer" put forward by traditional Chinese medicine is correct.

The changes of yin and yang in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter in a year are the fundamental needs for the growth, growth, harvest, and storage of all things in the natural world. Therefore, those who understand the way of health preservation are those who can grasp the laws of change in nature and Those who can adapt to this law of change will properly maintain Yang Qi in spring and summer to meet the needs of growth, and maintain Yin Qi in autumn and winter to meet the needs of collection, thus complying with the fundamental development of natural life in the world According to the law, it can move and develop normally in the life process of birth, growth, harvest and storage, just like all things.If this law is violated, it will harm the vitality, destroy the true vitality of the person, and damage the health of the body.
