Academic Thoughts Research Of SunSi-miao On Health Care For Aged People

Relevant data show that China has entered the aging society at the early 20th century,and aging trend in population is increasingly aggravating,the overall health status of the elderly is not satisfactory and the elderly care is deficient.What we need topay more attention to is actively maximizing the elderly's own survival function.Especially,if the elderly can improve their alertness,know some basic regimen knowledge,and strengthen their own health exercise,they would be resistant to diseases and even prolong life over time.In health care,Chinese medicine covers rich theory and practical experience.There are many medical books and literature,which record many effective ways and measures.They are the quintessence of generations of doctors and health experts,which make tremendous contribution to the Chinese people's health care and prolonged life.For example,Sun Simiao,a doctor in Tang dynasty,had been weak since born,almost run out of all property to treat his illness.As a result,he devoted himself in medicine,paid special attention to his daily health,so his disease could be treated in time and finally took a turn for the better and be out of danger,and recovered more physical strength.He passed away when he was more than 100 years old.It's rare for his longevity at the time of poor material living and medical treatment conditions.He almost read and studied all the medical books,wrote Qian Jin Yao Fang and Qian Jin Yi Fang,which are combined with the works and theories of many doctors from the publication of NeiJing to Sui and Tang dynasties,and also his personal experience.His books contain the living experience of many old people,acting as a connecting link between the preceding and the following on the elderly health care,so studying his thought of the elderly care has practical significance.Sun Simiao's thought of elderly health touched upon every aspects of life,such as the old man's temperament regulation,diet,exercise,daily living,hygienic conditions,and even sexual inter course.There are lots of discussions about how to keep fit for the old people in his Qian Jin YiFang,Temperament Cultivation,Qian Jin YiFang,Retirement and Liviny,Qian Jin Yifang,Invigoration,Qian Jin YaoFang,FoodTherapy,Qian Jin YaoFang,Temperament Cultivationand so on.The author synthesizes Sun's elderly care thought,deeply studies the practice approach,method,manner and the corresponding concept of elderly care,adopts philology and theoretical comprehensive analysis method,consults Qian Jin Yao Fang and Qian Jin Yi Fang,and collects monograph and documents about Sun's elderly health in the later generations,summarizes Sun Simiao's brilliant insight and approaches in the elderly health,which involves basic necessities of life.Some of these methods are analyzed through combination with Chinese medicine theory and modern scientific understanding.The author tries to supplement the shortage of predecessors' research,provides reference for the elderly health care.The main content of this paper includes the following aspects:?.Cultivate the virtue,spirit and temperament to protect the pheuma.This contains three levels of meaning:1.Cultivate one's morality and virtueSomeone analyzes,a moral man can control the cerebral cortex of excitement and inhibition in relatively stable way,have normal secretion of active substance such as the enzyme and acetylcholine,can make the hormone release increased,strengthen the neural activity in the brain,so it can be anti-aging,and helpful to health.2.Cherish the vital essence and spiritThe activity of emotions is based on the material foundation of the five viscera.Proper emotional activity is the normal psychological activity of human beings.Otherwise,if the mood is disturbed,it can affect the visceral air machine,which can lead to the diseases caused by the onset of abnormal condition,obstruction of meridian,disharmony between qi and blood,and the imbalance of Yin and Yang.As in Miraculous Pivot,Benshen,"sadness and worry will influence the heart,and heartbeating will influence the internal organs of the body",so people should control the spirit and not be overemotional.3.Eliminate the thinking of fame and wealthIt is helpful to maintain a calm and thin mind,which can help to keep theintegration of body and spirit,delay the aging process.For the body of old man,the qi and blood have decreased,so people should be rid of acquisitive desire.?.Food therapy,medicine therapy cancultivate the essence and cure the disease1.Have medicineand food,food first then medicineSun Simiao pointed out that "Food is the basis of body health.To cure the illness quickly man must take the medicine.One who does not know the importance of appropriate food,can not live.Also unclear about the medicine contraindications,can not cure disease",it emphasizd the diet medication for disease prevention and treatment is very important.2.Chronological approach of diet,food TabooAbsorbingqi of nutrition the body can grow and survive,so in order to keep harmonious with nature balance,man should take food complying with the change rule of seasons and Yin and Yang.Modern medicine thinks,the interaction between matter and energy betweenon the earth produced the conditions of life.Man.take food according to the rule of seasons to maintain normal metabolic activity.3.Have more meals a day but less food at each,light-based dietBecause of the thin skin of intestines and stomach,digestion function of the the elderly fails,any food can not been taken too muchevery time,more meals a day but less food at each,and have alight-based diet."Qi can improve blood,'blood will develop qi." The elderly are weak on qi and blood,the developing of qi and blood is already imbalanced,the arterieshardened,andit can not be damaged more,some fatty foods are rich of cholesterol,fatty acid,which can increase the blood viscosity and cohesive force,taking more can bring burden to the cardiovascular system and digestive system,cause some common senile diseases,such as coronary heart disease and digestive disease,the food is unfavorable to the elderly.4.Clean diet,pay attention to the hygieneBecause of deterioration of the memoryand insensitivenessof vision,hearing,gustationand smell,the elderly ofteneat unhealthful food by mistake,in additionn to the weak immunity and digestion,taking unhealthful food can damage one's health more.5.Reasonable collocation dietand a balanced nutrition Each kind of food contais different nutrients,plays different role in the human body,after being absorbed by human body,it builds essence,develops qi,annd strengths body,maintains the normal physiological activities of the human body,therefore,there is need of balanced diet.III.Exercise keeps shape and regulates mindSun Simiao thought moderate exercise is good for the elderly's health,early in the morning and after the meal taking a walk,massage abdomen,breathing technique and other methode,these are appropriate for the elderly."Running water never becomes putrid,a door hinge is never worm-eaten,it lies in movement",it's the same for the human body,less exercise can make the body stiff,function declined,especially in the elderly.Methods include:1.Massaging following qi can fully mobilize intrinsic factor ans let it play a roll,balance Yin and Yang,dredge the meridian,break up extravasated blood and nodule,invigorate the circulation of qi and blood,relax the muscles,do spasmolysis,lubricate joint.Modern scientific research also suggests that massage can delay aging,enhance immunity,regulate blood pressure,improve microcirculation,promote gastrointestinal function,it has been widely used in the treatment and rehabilitation of many kinds of diseases,such as neurological disease,cardiovascular disease,digestive system disease,and so on.2.Calmimg down,having a inside view,and regulating gas.It is a method of keeping God inside,expiration and inspiration,it can promote metabolism,prevent,strengthen body and prolong life.By means of calming down andeliminating distractions,to keep the spirit happy and quiet,full of energy,especially for the elderly.3.Walking and massaging the belly.Appropriate walking after meals and massaging the belly can help quicken the bowel movement and promote digestion,which is good for health.?.Living according to the seasons and keeping in good healthAccording to Sun Simiao living in a comfortable environment,keeping clean and living a regular life are important factors of keeping a good mood and a long life.Elders should be good at building a good neighborhood;Living a regular life and activing according to seasons.First of all,choose the surroundings:1.A surrounding similar to "wild," in the wilderness but at the same time near to humans,relaxed and happy,but also have a heart-to-heart talk with people,and avoid loneliness.The housing should be sealed,indoor hygienic,and the surroundings are beautiful.Second,the aspect of living:the elders should adjudge his or her daily life corresponding the changes of seasons,according to time,location and their own specific circumstances,set a schedule for work and rest.?.Pay attention to hygiene,resist pathogenic factors and preventdiseaseImmune function decreased in the elderly,the ability of resisting pathogenic factors invaded,so be sure to do a good job in personal hygiene,including clothing,eating,bathing,incense,etc.Paying attention to personal hygiene,not only can keep health and reduce disease,it can also improve the body health,avoid infringement of wind,wet and various kinds of pathogens,and prevent disease,so it's very important for the elders.?.Sexual life benefits kidney and keeps your energy levels highSexual life is an important content of Sun Simiao's endowment ideas,its connotation includes:1.Not to put an end to sexual desire.Sex life is a normal physiological and psychological response,moderate sex life can make you happy,relieve stress,improve the harmonious relationship between husband and wife,help avoiding sickness and illness.2.Not to indulge your desires,man in the twilight years,such as a spent force,so the viscera and essence etc are close to failure,man should be careful with sex life.Sex life can not be forbidded,but must be with self-control,in order to preserve the essence,otherwise as we grow older,strength and energy decline and disease is born.?.Filial obedience of children can make the elderly healthy.Filial piety is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation and has been regarded as an indispensable note of social harmony since ancient times.About changes in the disposition of the elders,filial piety and how to show filial piety are discussed in his book of the Qian Jin Yifang·Endowment cases.The children and grandchildren must take the responsibility of filial piety,observe the change of the disposition of their parents,and make corresponding countermeasures.Anyhow,Sun Simiao's thought about health care for elders is profound and the methods are very effective.Under the background of the growing aging population,Sun Simiao's methods for health care is valuable.In this paper the methods are sorted and refined.Finally a prospect combining with actual situation is made,and my own little humble opinions are put forward,hoping it's useful as a reference for the development of health care for elders.
