1.Replenish essence, make aging come later

Essence is the essence that constitutes human life, and it is the most basic subtle substance to maintain vitality and health.Essence is very important. With essence, there is a body, and with essence, the appearance can be more resistant to the erosion of time.Therefore, if female friends want to have a beautiful appearance and slow down the pace of aging, they must nourish their essence.The specific method is:

1) Swallow saliva every day

Saliva has the function of nourishing and nourishing, it can nourish the fur, skin, eyes, nose and mouth, nourish internal organs, bone marrow and brain.Therefore, female friends often swallow saliva consciously, which can make the skin moist, elastic and not easy to age.The specific method is as follows:

2) Do more meridian massage to maintain kidney essence
Regular meridian massage is necessary to nourish the essence. The kidney essence is in the lower part of the human body, which is what we often call the lower pubic region. 30 times, massage every morning and evening.

3) Eat more nourishing food
Foods that nourish essence mainly include black sesame, black beans, yams, walnuts, lotus seeds, etc. Regular consumption of these foods can not only improve beauty, but also prolong life and strengthen the body.

2.Nourishes Qi, making skin soft and supple

Qi is an invisible and intangible substance, but it really exists and plays a vital role in the appearance.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that qi has different functions in the human body, and each function has a value that cannot be ignored for a woman's appearance.

1) Promoting effect: Qi can stimulate the functional activities of various viscera and organs (such as digestion and absorption of food and excretion of dross, etc.), and promote the production and operation of blood and body fluid.If a woman is deficient in qi, the blood cannot run normally, and the face is prone to bruising, the hair is dry and dull, and the eyes are dull.

2) Consolidation function: Qi can keep the position of viscera relatively stable; control blood to prevent overflow; control and regulate the secretion and excretion of sweat, urine, saliva, semen and other body fluids to prevent abnormal loss.If the fixation function of femininity is abnormal, causing the body to lose too much water, the face will be dry and rough due to the lack of water.

3) Warming effect: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the movement of qi is the source of heat for the human body, which maintains and regulates the normal body temperature of the human body, ensures the normal physiological activities of the human organs and meridians, and keeps the blood and body fluid always flowing without stagnation , stop gathering.If the warming effect is abnormal, women are prone to chilblains on the face in the cold winter.

4) Defense function: Qi has the function of resisting evil qi.On the one hand, qi can protect the skin surface and prevent the invasion of external evils; on the other hand, qi can fight against the invading evil qi, exorcise the evil spirits and make the sick body recover.If the qi in the female body is deficient and the defense function is weakened, it is easy to feel external evils and affect the appearance.

Qi is like a flower protector, protecting a woman's face from threats. Therefore, if a woman wants to be beautiful and soft like water, she must know how to cultivate the Qi in her body.How to raise it?You can refer to the seven methods of nourishing qi from the health-preserving expert Chen Zhi: "First, reduce language and cultivate true qi. Second, abstain from lust and nourish essence. Third, reduce taste and nourish blood qi. Fourth, swallow body fluid and nourish visceral qi. Fifth, don’t get angry, nourish the liver qi. Sixth, eat abstinently, nourish the stomach qi. Seventh, worry less, nourish the heart qi.”

3.Rejuvenate, maintain youthful vitality

God is the supreme commander of all life activities such as spirit, will, consciousness, etc. If God is full, the body will be strong, and people will look more energetic and energetic.We often see some women with "piercing eyes", which is actually the embodiment of God.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the heart hides the spirit", and the spirit is mainly hidden in the heart, so nourishing the spirit requires nourishing the heart.Here are a few methods:
1) Beat the Tanzhong acupoint
When we are angry and depressed, we will habitually slap our chest. In the eyes of ordinary people, we slap our chest when we are depressed, but actually we slap the Tanzhong acupoint.

Tanzhong acupoint is also called Qihai. Beating it can dispel evil spirits, suffocation and depression in the heart, and it can also excrete poisonous spirits. "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" says, "Those who are in the middle of the mutton, the palace city of the heart is also", "is the sea of ​​qi", and "joy comes out of it".Tanzhong acupoint is located in the middle of the line connecting the two nipples, at the center of the heart, it is an important acupoint on the pericardial meridian, and it is the envoy of the king, the heart, which can make people happy.If the Tanzhong point is not smooth, people will be depressed, which is not only bad for people's health, but also affects people's appearance.Therefore, female friends should beat this acupuncture point frequently to keep the Qi machine smooth.The method is: hold hollow fists with both hands, beat with left and right hands alternately, be careful not to use too much force.

2) Rubbing the soles of the feet to nourish the mind
The "Huangdi Neijing" said: "It is just light to nothingness, true energy follows it, the spirit is kept inside, and the disease is never safe."Traditional Chinese medicine advocates being indifferent to fame and fortune, not seeking fame and popularity, and pursuing the inner balance and harmony of the soul, but it is not easy to achieve "nourishing the mind and regulating the mind".However, there is an exercise method in Chinese medicine that is very simple, just rub the soles of the feet with your hands.

Why does this work?There is an acupoint on the hand called Laogong, which is where the pericardium meridian passes; there is an acupoint on the center of our feet called Yongquan, and the kidney meridian runs obliquely in the center of the foot. If we want the heart and kidney to intersect, let The two points rub against each other.In a word, spiritual inner defense means that when your spirit and spirit are particularly sufficient, you can be calm and reach the state of tranquility and emptiness.

In addition, female friends, after waking up in the morning, don't rush to get up, lie on your back, stretch your body, then stretch your limbs flat, and arch your back, so that the spine has time to "wake up", which can avoid back pain and make you start in a happy mood. a new day.

If you want delicate and firm skin, start from nourishing your bones
If the human body is a building, the bones are the frame made of reinforced concrete. If the building is to stand still, the frame must be firm.Similarly, for the human body to be healthy, the skin must be firm and maintain an upward posture, and the skeleton must be strong.

1.The kidney governs the bone——if you want to have a healthy bone, you must first raise the kidney

In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, "the kidney governs the bone and produces the marrow".What does that mean?That is to say, bones are dominated by kidneys, and kidney essence can be biochemically transformed into bone marrow, which is an important material basis for nourishing bones.Therefore, if you want to have good bones, you must first raise your kidneys.

1) Diet and kidney

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the foundation of the innate. By nourishing the kidney with "black", it can strengthen the body, nourish the brain and essence, and prevent aging and anti-aging.So, what is "black food"?In foreign countries, "black food" refers to two aspects: one is black food; the other is food with high crude fiber content.Common black foods include black sesame, black beans, black rice, black buckwheat, black dates, black grapes, black pine nuts, black mushrooms, black fungus, kelp, black-bone chicken, black fish, soft-shelled turtle, etc.

In addition, usually drink more bone soup, preferably beef bone soup.When making soup, smash the bones, then add water and cook with a slow fire.You might as well add some vinegar when making bone soup, because vinegar can dissolve the calcium in the bones, which is more conducive to the body's absorption.

Female friends can also eat more nuts, such as walnut kernels, peanut kernels, and cashew nuts. These are the fruits of plants. In order to continue its offspring, the plants concentrate all the essence there, which has a strong kidney-tonifying effect.

2) Massage and invigorate the kidney

①Rub the waist and eyes: rub the lower back with both hands, once a day in the morning and evening, make a fist with both hands, the small circle formed by the thumb and index finger is called the fist eye, use the fist eye to align with the position of the kidneys on both sides of the back lumbar spine, and then move back and forth horizontally Rub, while squeezing the kidneys towards the middle.In the process of rubbing, it can remove heat from the kidneys and increase the kidney yang. The process of squeezing to the middle can increase the energy of the two kidneys. Therefore, you should keep rubbing until the kidneys on both sides feel heat.

②Pushing the back to strengthen the kidneys: Pushing the back can enhance the whole body’s righteousness, strengthen the function of the kidneys, and thus nourish the whole body.The specific method is to push upwards from the tailbone along the spine with the belly of the thumb, push back and forth, and press and knead more when encountering particularly painful areas. This method not only allows people to sleep soundly, but also protects the kidneys. It is very beneficial to the whole body skin.

2.Eat more leeks in spring to nourish your bones

Spring is the season of growth, and bones grow with it.Therefore, you must eat more leeks in spring, because it contains high calcium and can best supplement the skeleton. Just imagine if the skeleton is loose, can the flesh on the body not be loose?People with calcium deficiency have insufficient facial support, and the skin on the face will fall off, so women must eat more leeks in spring.

3.Pregnancy is a good opportunity for calcium supplementation

Every woman knows that calcium supplementation is necessary to prevent osteoporosis after the age of 40.After the age of 25, the calcium in our bones can only be exported and cannot be imported. When you consume a lot of calcium, you can only absorb it from the bones for emergency.Therefore, over the age of 25, it is useless to eat calcium tablets, but it will cause premature bone hardening.Only when a woman is pregnant, the bones will have the function of absorbing calcium. At this time, the calcium can be stored in the bones. We must seize this opportunity.

For ordinary people, natural foods and Chinese medicines such as kelp, seaweed, Eucommia, and Achyranthes bidentata can also supplement the calcium needed by the human body.Therefore, if you are pregnant, you should seize the time to replenish calcium. Usually, you only need to eat more kelp, so you don’t need to take pills deliberately.

4.Let the tree of human spine evergreen

We know that the trunk of the tree supports the tree to stand upright in the wind and rain, absorb the nutrients in the soil and transport them to the whole body; and the spine is the backbone of the human body, the central axis bone of the human body, and the support of the whole body.Maintaining correct sitting and walking postures is the key to protecting the spine, and if your posture is improper, such as getting used to tilting your head forward, excessively retracting your chin, or arching your shoulders, etc., it will cause tension and stiffness in the neck muscles. If things go on like this, Not only will the shoulders feel pain and numbness, but the entire back will even feel uncomfortable, and even the health of the whole body will decline.

In addition, the muscles around the spine are like protective pads for the bones, which can buffer the pressure from the outside world; the muscles are also "elastic bandages" firmly bound on the surface of the bones, which can make the bones stronger and cooperate with the bones to support the human body.However, if we are used to thinking about things with our chin on our hands, resting our feet on the coffee table while watching TV, or turning to the same side while sleeping, we will distort the spine, causing the deep muscles connected between the vertebrae to be abnormally pulled, Aging and sagging, the muscles lose their protective function to the spine after a long time, you will find that your waist is prone to sprains, your back will start to be sore for a long time, and herniated discs may also come to your door.
