Diet principle: Don't eat too much!
✵Ancient and modern gleanings: As early as two thousand years ago, the ancient works Huangdi Neijing advocated: "eat with the proper amount", "eat double quantity, the gastrointestinal injury." Tao Hongjing, a herbalist of Liang, pointed out in the Yang Sheng Yan Nian Lu(Health Preservation and Extending Life): "the less you eat, the more open the heart, the longer life; The more you eat, the more your heart closes, the more your years are ruined."
Ancient works Dong Gu Zhui Yan(Unnecessary words in East valley) wrote: "people who eat too much suffer from five diseases, one is the frequency of stool, two is the frequency of urine, three disturb sleep, body heavy and could not bear self-cultivation, five suffer from indigestion." It can be seen that in a very early period the ancients found that diet control can fight against aging, prolong life, often satiate lead to premature aging, harmful to the human body.
The road to longevity is in health maintenance; The basis of health care is in diet, and diet control plays an important role in diet health care. In the ancient works Huangdi Neijing(The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon), it is said that the ancient people "finished their years and pass by till the age over 100 years old", one of the main experience is to pay attention to the moderation of diet, requiring regular eating, moderate hunger for food, not too full, not overeat.
Those who have read the ancient novel Hong Lou Meng(A Dream in Red Mansions) carefully can also find that if there are some minor diseases, they first do not take medicine, but use hunger therapy. A famous diet saying of ancient records that: "eat more is to eat less, eat less is to eat more." This sentence says incisive and scientific, the meaning is to eat less every meal at ordinary times, do not hurt the body and able to live long, and eat more every meal, can hurt the body and lead to a short life.
For office workers, the three meals should be on time and regular. Eat when you feel hungry. Don't eat when you feel full. But also not excessive hunger, easy to cause overeating. Eat slowly at all times. Because the satiety center of the person has 20 minutes delay, lest imperceptible eat overmuch food. Appetite should also have a certain rule, do not satiate with a meal, hunger with another meal. A person with those conditions can take "many meals a day, not full every meal, eat when hungry, eat little" method. But the most important thing is "moderation", which means not only moderation but also rhythm.
