Weng Weijian, a TCM health expert: Health should be kept sooner rather than later.

Mr. Weng Weijian is a professor at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and a famous health care expert. Anyone who meets Professor Weng himself is moved by his special temperament. At the age of 83, his body is tough and his skin is delicate, which is completely unlike an old man. Mr. Weng founded the first Chinese medicine nutrition specialty in China before his death, and made outstanding contributions in many fields such as Chinese medicine teaching, scientific research, diet therapy, health preservation and rehabilitation. The theory and method of health preservation advocated and practiced by him are precious wealth for future generations.

Professor Weng said that the purpose of TCM nutrition and health care is not just to treat diseases and prevent diseases. From a deeper level, it is to use natural diet to keep the human body in the best or even extraordinary state. He believes that the two characteristics of food performance, tonic and diarrhea, can best reflect the theme of TCM nutrition. He said that food supplements replenish qi, nourish blood and replenish essence; Diarrhea can relieve exterior syndrome, fire and poison. He developed thousands of recipes for China health food (longevity diet) and medical health food (medicated diet). Mr. Weng’s medicated diet is not a food containing drugs, but a natural food containing drugs, which is harmless to human body. Medicine and food should be eaten together. In his view, only color, taste, fragrance and shape are not comprehensive, and "quality" should be added. This quality is rich in nutrition and has a health care effect.

Professor Weng Weijian has been engaged in health care for 20 years, and summed up a set of health care experience from "eating, pulling, sleeping, urinating and walking": "If you want to live longer, your stomach will be clear; Don’t be partial to food, don’t blame food, and eat omnivores. " To eat miscellaneous food, eat at least 30 kinds of various foods every day, and eat breakfast seriously; Have enough stool every day, preferably twice. For this reason, eat more fiber-rich food and drink more boiled water, and drink at least 8 cups of boiled water in ordinary water cups every day. Old people go to bed early and get up early, and their sleep time is sporadic. They should let nature take its course, and they can sleep at any time when they are sleepy. Bite your teeth tightly at the moment of urination and don’t make any noise, which can make your teeth strong. As long as you persist for a long time, the troubles such as poor urination will be alleviated or even disappeared; People are old before their feet, and there are more than 20 acupuncture points on the soles of their feet. It is a good way to keep stimulating and walk for one hour every day. No matter what the season is, we should insist on scalding our feet with hot water for 15 minutes before going to bed. One or two Chinese medicinal rhubarb can be broken, wrapped in gauze, boiled for 15 minutes, and then washed with this water, which has the functions of diminishing inflammation, sterilizing, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

He also said: it is better to keep in good health sooner than later. Health preservation is not a science of providing for the aged. People’s aging has already begun before the arrival of old age, and health and longevity activities should be carried out in many aspects of life as soon as possible.
