As the saying goes: 'Don't spit in the morning, don't release semen in the afternoon, and don't sweat in the evening', what does it mean?
"Don't spit in the morning, don't spit in the afternoon, don't sweat in the evening" is an ancient proverb that has been passed down for a long time. How to explain it? What does reading the meaning of this proverb do for our health?
The ancient Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and it is the wealth of the Chinese nation. In this rich cultural treasure house, there are concise adages and proverbs that are easy to memorize and recite, kind and easy to understand, and concise in meaning. Glittering phrases have witnessed people entering the high palace of knowledge, so aphorisms and proverbs are national cultural spirits tempered and sublimated by language and thought.
Although many proverbs sound like legends and are believed to have no real effect, these words we ancients have obtained based on our years of accumulated experience have certain basis and contain different principles.
What is the meaning of "don't spit in the morning, don't leak semen in the afternoon, and don't sweat in the evening"?
Do not spit in the morning is literally understood, that is, it is not recommended to spit after getting up in the morning. The ancients believed that people have accumulated enough yang energy in their bodies during a night of sleep.
After a night of accumulation, the Yang Qi in the body reached a peak the next morning. At this time, the kidney qi in the body is sufficient, and Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is saliva, and saliva is what we usually call saliva. When kidney qi is sufficient, saliva is thin.
Spitting out saliva at this time is equivalent to spitting out the kidney qi in one's body. People with insufficient kidney qi will have no energy for a day, so it is recommended not to spit out the saliva that gets up early, but to swallow it directly.
Take our modern science for example. Most of the ingredients in saliva are water, which contains a small amount of protein and trace elements, which can help the body replenish energy, and spitting out is spitting out nutrients.
Not leaking semen at noon means that men and women try not to have sexual intercourse at noon, because the ancients believed that noon is the time when yang energy is strongest, so at this time, more yang energy should be accumulated in the body instead of consuming it.
At this time, it is easy to cause the body to lose Yang Qi, and if things go on like this, it will make our body very weak.
In order to make your body healthier, you must eat enough when you eat at noon, and you can choose to take a nap for a while after the meal, so that you will be more energetic when you work in the afternoon.
The phrase "not sweating at night" is easy to understand, that is, don't do strenuous exercise at night and don't let yourself sweat too much.
Since night is our sleep time, when people sleep, their metabolism is relatively slow, and all organs of the body will repair and adjust their damaged cells.
We've all had a feeling. After taking a shower, we feel cold when the water vapor evaporates. In the same way, when we sweat when we sleep, our body tends to be in a cold and damp state. Over time, it will aggravate the cold and dampness in the body, which is not conducive to health.
In order to have a healthy body, do the following.
- Reasonable eating habits.
In order to be healthy, you must eat on time, don't eat, eat more vegetables and fruits, don't eat greasy, spicy food, pay attention to supplementing enough protein and vitamins.
- Drink plenty of water
Water is essential in our life. We must drink enough water every day. Water can promote blood circulation in the body, speed up metabolism, and is beneficial to health.
- Good sleep habits
Go to bed early and get up early, combine work and rest, don't stay up late, keep warm when you sleep, don't let your body catch a cold for a long time, choose a mattress and pillow that suits you, pay attention to your sleeping position, and don't let your legs and feet feel uncomfortable for a long time and cause cramps.
- Strengthen exercise
Reasonable physical exercise can expel toxins and garbage from the body through sweat and improve people's physical fitness. However, you must choose an appropriate way to exercise, and you can't consume too much energy and have a negative effect.
