Features: This book is based on the ancient Chinese health preservation principle of "harmony between human and nature, adapting to the four seasons." It focuses on introducing health preservation methods during seasonal changes and solar terms, including ancient, effective, and valuable health preservation practices and dietary recipes. It also combines some modern scientific dietary theories and exercise methods, enabling readers to easily master the secrets of delaying aging, maintaining youth, and promoting longevity.
The ancient Chinese philosophical concept of "harmony between human and nature" holds that humans are in alignment with the natural order, and the rise, decline, and cycles of nature all affect human health. Health preservation and physical conditioning must "adapt to the four seasons," arranging the rhythms and taboos of activities such as diet, daily routines, work, and intimate relations according to seasonal changes. Only in this way can one achieve the balance of yin and yang, nourish the body and mind, and promote longevity.
The 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar specifically reflect natural climate changes. Traditional health preservation emphasizes maintaining health according to seasonal changes, proposing the understanding of "nourishing yang in spring and summer, and nourishing yin in autumn and winter," as well as methods for health preservation and strengthening the body based on seasons. It has left behind a wealth of valuable seasonal health preservation writings for later generations.
This book compiles and selects refined theories from classic works across generations, organically integrating modern medical knowledge with traditional health preservation concepts. It provides health preservation methods, medicinal diet recipes, and healthcare knowledge to help people arrange their daily routines and regulate their diet and intimate life in different seasons.
Combining classic, engaging, informative, and practical elements, this book allows readers to easily grasp the essentials of health preservation and care through enjoyable reading. It will accompany you in living a healthy and joyful life every day.
