Stretching to relieve fatigue and improve blood circulation is the best

The so-called stretching refers to self-exercise including straightening the neck, raising arms, breathing to expand the chest, stretching the waist, moving the joints, and loosening the spine.

Sit quietly to prolong life, regulate body, breath and mind

Medical research shows that emotions and health are closely linked. People who are optimistic and cheerful can keep their internal organs functioning healthily and enhance their resistance to external pathogens. At the same time, they can engage in sustained intellectual activities only when they are in a calm emotional state. Therefore, one of the health-preserving methods of the ancients was to calm the mind and relax the spirit. Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism all have methods of maintaining health, and all advocate meditation.

The brain is the home of intelligence. Combing 500 times a day can cure diseases.

The head is the home of intelligence. The 12 important meridians of the human body, more than 40 large and small acupuncture points, and more than a dozen special stimulation areas are all concentrated in the head. Using a wooden comb or bone comb instead of the small silver needles to perform so-called acupuncture massage or stimulation on these acupoints and meridians will cure diseases and improve health. Combing your hair frequently is indeed the simplest, most economical and longevity health care strategy to actively maintain the body's essence, energy and spirit.

The sole of the foot is the second heart. Rubbing the Yongquan point frequently is good for health.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the more than 60 acupuncture points on the feet are closely connected to the 12 meridians of the internal organs, and are covered with reflex areas related to various organs in the body. However, since the soles of the feet are far away from the heart and have low resistance, they are the body's congenital weak link, which objectively provides favorable conditions for the invasion of cold, dampness, evil qi and viruses. Therefore, foot care is particularly important than other parts of the body. Rubbing the Yongquan acupoint regularly after a warm bath can cure diseases and prolong life.

Knock your teeth morning and night for 367 days, and your teeth will not fall out when you are 80 years old.

Teeth tapping refers to a self-care and health-preserving method that involves rhythmically tapping the upper and lower teeth against each other repeatedly, commonly known as "knocking the sky bell." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that frequently tapping your teeth can not only strengthen the kidneys and consolidate essence, balance yin and yang, dredge local qi and blood circulation and local meridians, and delay aging.

Rubbing the abdomen 100 times can promote the flow of qi and blood and benefit the spirit.

Abdominal massage is a health care method that involves massaging the abdomen back and forth with your hands, including the abdominal wall, abdominal cavity and internal organs. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the abdomen is the palace of the human body's internal organs and the source of yin and yang, qi and blood. Regularly massaging the abdomen can regulate the spleen and stomach, promote the harmony of qi and blood, replenish the spirit, nourish the kidney essence, enrich the five internal organs, drive away external evils, and clear up all symptoms of internal injuries.

The kidney qi of a person is connected to the ears. Pulling, stretching and rubbing the ears can improve the body's health

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the ear is the only external orifice of the kidney. If the ears are healthy, the kidney meridian is unobstructed, the kidney qi is sufficient, and the kidney essence is full, then the hearing will be sensitive. Pulling, massaging, rubbing, and pinching the ears are actually various forms of physical stimulation and acupuncture treatment for the ears.

Swallow saliva 300 times a day and you will live to 99

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that saliva is the essence of the human body, which is stored in the dantian, then transformed into essence, and plays the role of harmonizing the spleen and stomach, moistening the orifices, moistening the limbs and five internal organs, strengthening the kidneys and replenishing the essence, lubricating the joints, and nourishing the brain marrow. Therefore, it makes sense that swallowing saliva three hundred times a day can ensure you live to be ninety-nine.

Pinch the anus 100 times a day to cure diseases and prolong life

The anus is also called the anus. To pinch means to pull up and contract. In layman's terms, it means doing small movements of contracting the anus.
