每天早上在公园里，你会看到有的人一边走路一边甩胳膊，有的人不穿鞋在石子路上走来走去。看到这些，你会不会觉得奇怪呢？其实，这是中国人在运用中医养生理论来健身。 这些年来，大家越来越关注身体的健康。中医的一些养生方法又开始大受欢迎。今天我们就来说一说中医的养生理念。 首先，中医特别讲究人要按照大自然的规律生活。其中大家最熟悉的几句话是"春生夏长，秋收冬藏"。意思是，植物在春天开始生长，在夏天长大，在秋天收获果实，在冬天把果实储藏起来。人也应该像植物一样顺应大自然的规律。举个例子，夏天天亮的比较早，我们起床就应该早一点儿；而天黑的比较晚，相应地我们睡觉也应该晚一点儿。 其次，中医告诉我们要保持乐观的精神状态。乐观的心态容易使人心情愉快，对健康非常有帮助；悲观的心态对健康则会有很大伤害。世界卫生组织提出过："健康的一半是心理健康"。中医提倡的"精神乐观"和西医提倡的心理健康是非常相似的。 此外，中医也特别注意饮食和运动。饮食为我们的生命提供能量，而运动则帮助我们提高身体的质量。中医建议不同的人应该有不同的饮食和运动方式。你想吃什么东西，表示你的身体缺乏这种东西，就应该摄入这些食物。不同的人生活习惯和工作情况都不一样，所以"吃什么"、"吃多少"并没有一个统一的标准。同样，运动也是如此。如果你很年轻，精力很充沛，可以靠跑步、踢球、游泳等来锻炼身体；而对于老年人来，散步是更合适的运动。 Every morning we see people walking in the park and swinging their arms at the same time while others walk barefooted along the stone paths. Do you find such sights bizarre? Actually, they are applying Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theories on staying healthy into their exercise regime.
Over the past few years, everyone has been paying more and more attention to their physical health. As such, the methods put forth by TCM also gained popularity. Today we'll talk about the concepts on maintaining good health propagated by TCM.
Firstly, TCM maintains that people should live by nature's rhythm. In this respect, everyone is very familiar with the phrase "sprout in the spring, grow in the summer, harvest in the autumn, and store in the winter." What this means is that, in spring, plants start to grow, by summer its growth has reached maturity, so autumn is the time for reaping the harvest and finally winter is the time to store away the gains. Likewise, people should also adhere to the rhythms of nature. For example, in summer, the day breaks earlier, so we should also get up earlier; nightfall takes place later, so we should also go to bed a little later.
Next, TCM also tells us to maintain an optimistic outlook. Being optimistic promotes a happy mood, and this facilitates our quest in staying healthy. Conversely, a pessimistic outlook greatly harms our health. The World Health Organization (WHO) once mentioned, "Mental health makes up half your entire health." The optimistic outlook advocated by TCM is very similar to the mental health advocated by western medicine.
Additionally, food and exercise also play an important role in TCM. Food supplies energy to our life force while exercise helps to increase our body's mass. TCM recommends different types of food and different methods of exercise for different people. Whatever you feel like eating is a signal that your body is lacking it, therefore you should consume more of it. Different people have different lifestyles and habits. Moreover the conditions they face at work is also different. Therefore, with regards to the questions "what to eat" and "how much to eat", there isn't any one standard which applies for everyone. The same reasoning applies to exercise. If you are young and are full of energy, you can opt for running, playing football, swimming, etc as part of your exercise regime. As for the elderly, going for a walk is a better option.
