There are many ways to maintain health in traditional Chinese medicine, and there are also many wisdom in maintaining health in the old saying. There is an old saying called "old ejaculation and residual essence, people are poor and have a long life", which contains profound wisdom in maintaining health.

In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that the human body has the three treasures of "essence, qi, and spirit". "Essence" refers to the material foundation that can ensure the continuation of life, "qi" is the driving force of life originating from nature, and "spirit" refers to various spiritual consciousness, thinking activities, and perceptions generated by the body. These three are closely related and inseparable.

As we age, our body's metabolism gradually slows down. When we age and age, there may also be obstacles between the essence, qi, and spirit. If we ignore them, it will gradually make our body loose and lead to some diseases.

What does the old saying 'old discharge of residual essence, poor life to the end' mean?

The word 'old' refers to a person getting old, while the word 'venting' means consumption. In this sentence, the word 'refined' is the most crucial and easily misunderstood. Perhaps there are still some people who believe that the meaning of "old ejaculation and residual semen" is that couples do not understand moderation, especially elderly men who excessively consume their semen and eventually move towards the other end. In fact, this is incorrect. The word "jing" refers to the essence, energy, and energy, mainly divided into the physical and mental levels.

The physical level of energy can be divided into two parts. On the one hand, it refers to innate energy, and each person's genetic genes and parents' physical health conditions also vary, so the energy of newborn children is also different. Generally speaking, children born to healthy parents are more energetic. On the other hand, it refers to the energy acquired in the day after tomorrow, which is closely related to the child's diet, sleep, and exercise. Once bad lifestyle habits are formed, energy will significantly decrease.

After speaking of the physical aspect, the next step is the spiritual aspect. It is often said that a person not only needs physical health but also psychological health, which is called 'essence, energy, and spirit'. Only when the spiritual world is rich enough can one live a long and healthy life.

Based on the above analysis, the phrase 'old ejaculation and residual semen lead to poverty and longevity' can be understood as: once a person ages, excessive energy consumption can affect their lifespan. That is to let the elderly worry less about others and consume energy, and focus more on themselves.

Traditional Chinese medicine discusses the five major functions of "essence":

(1) Reproduction of life. The essence of reproduction, which breeds the next generation after sexual intercourse, is an important role of the essence.

(2) Nurturing effect. Essence can nourish and nourish the five organs and six organs of the human body, as well as the limbs and bones.

(3) Transforming blood. The book "Zhang Shi Yi Tong Zhuxue Men" states: "Essence does not leak, it returns to the liver and transforms into blood." Therefore, when the kidney essence is full, the liver is nourished and blood is replenished. Therefore, if the essence is sufficient, the blood will be prosperous, and if the essence is deficient, the blood will be deficient

(4) Gasification. Essence can be transformed into qi. The "Su Wen Yin Yang Corresponds to the Elephant Theory" states: "Essence is transformed into Qi." Qi has the ability to defend the body and resist external evil invasion. The book "Su Wen Jin Kui Zhen Shi" states: "Therefore, those who hide in the essence do not get sick and warm in spring." It can be seen that the essence and feet have strong vitality, strong disease resistance, and are not easily attacked by pathogenic factors.

(5) Transforming the spirit. The Suwen Posthumous Essay on Sting Techniques "states that" the essence and energy are not dispersed, and the spirit is not divided. Only by accumulating essence can one become fully divine, which is the fundamental guarantee of the existence of life. On the contrary, if the essence is depleted, the spirit will be exhausted, if the essence is depleted, the spirit will disperse, and life will rest.

Spend your old age peacefully and try to do these three levels well

First level: Mouth

When people reach middle age, they must pay attention to the first and most important level. Food enters the body from the mouth and has an impact on the entire body, so what to eat is very important.

Yin deficiency patients should avoid eating spicy and hot foods, such as chili peppers, ginger, chives, fennel, onions, and other foods. Patients with yang deficiency should avoid eating foods such as persimmons, purslane, watermelons, and crabs.

The key to a balanced diet is to consume trace elements from various foods, avoid overeating or favoritism, mix meat and vegetables reasonably, eat fewer and more meals, and avoid craving for food. Only then can the body's residual semen not be excessively consumed.

Level 2: Weight

As age increases, the body's resistance decreases, which can easily lead to various diseases. So, it is necessary to suppress weight gain in middle-aged and elderly people!

High weight represents a high risk of developing chronic diseases, and controlling weight can reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases.

As you get older, basal metabolism will also begin to decline. If you do not control your weight, it will naturally increase the workload of various organs of the body, thus accelerating aging.

Third level: Living

Living regularly and following the biological clock

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that human beings are inseparable from the natural environment on which they live. The life activities of the human body undergo corresponding physiological changes with the annual rhythm, seasonal rhythm, monthly rhythm, circadian rhythm and other natural laws. Human life activities all follow a certain cycle or rhythm to unfold.

Famous medical expert Zhang Yin'an said, "Living regularly, nurturing one's spirit, avoiding excessive labor, and nurturing one's essence

Regular living habits can maintain one's energy and make the human body energetic and full of vitality. Otherwise, living disorders, indulging in reckless behavior, going against life pleasures, using alcohol as the pulp, and using recklessness as the norm can lead to damage to visceral functions, decreased vitality, decreased adaptability, decreased physical fitness, premature aging, or diseases.

As people age, their circadian clock becomes more fixed and their compliance becomes worse. We often see elderly people who are conscious of their health, such as those who experience sudden myocardial infarction or death due to travel fatigue.

However, some physically weak and sickly individuals, due to their regular lifestyle, may actually enjoy the blessings of nourishing the heavenly year and thus enjoy it. Therefore, elderly people should work and rest regularly, try to change their rhythm of life as little as possible, and achieve a "regular routine of daily life without excessive labor" in order to improve the adaptability of the human body, ensure smooth regulation of qi and blood, smooth operation and health, and vigorous vitality, thereby preventing diseases, enhancing physical fitness, and delaying aging.
