Health = health+heart.

　　If you want to ask what is the most popular thing at the moment, many people may answer without thinking: "keeping in good health." You see, you can see the figure of health-preserving people every day in the streets, alleys and parks and squares; Almost all newspapers and periodicals have health-preserving columns, and TV broadcasts have health-preserving lectures every day.

　　That’s not surprising. With the development of economy and rich material resources, people naturally want to live a long and healthy life and improve their quality of life. So, what is the real health?

　　"Health preservation refers to all physical and mental care activities carried out according to the law of human life process". Obviously, body-building is the foundation and mind-building is the guidance, and the two complement each other. Furthermore, health care not only refers to physical and medical health care, but also psychological and spiritual health care. Nourishing the heart is a higher level of health preservation, the soul of a healthy body and the essence of health preservation. At all times and in all countries, those who maintain health and live a long life are all related to their emphasis on nourishing the heart.

　　The problem now is: although health care is hot, it is mostly about health care and ignores heart care. Some people rely too much on the original way of keeping in good health. When they talk about keeping in good health, they eat health products, go to the gym or listen to health lectures … Although they have taken a lot of medicine and spent a lot of money, the effect of keeping in good health is not satisfactory, happiness and happiness have not increased, and chronic and rich diseases have not decreased.

　　Where do you start to raise your heart?

　　One said "thick virtue". "Be virtuous and carry things". Only "great virtue … will lead to its longevity". Therefore, we must rely on the word "Germany" to make "Germany" really play the role of commander in chief. The second is "Yuan Zhi". Aim high. "Make a heart for heaven and earth, make a life for the people, carry forward the past and learn from the past, and make peace for the world." Third, it is "philosophical". A visionary is also open-minded. In normal times, don’t be embarrassed or humiliated, and have no intention of staying or staying. In times of crisis, "Mount Tai collapses in front and its color remains the same, while the elk thrives on the left without blinking."

　　Ancient sages also had a lot of health care experience. Taoism stresses "harmony between man and nature" and advocates "three trips": going to the extreme, going to luxury and going to Thailand. What to do, that is, don’t pursue excessive things that should not belong to you. To be extravagant means not to pursue a luxurious and wasteful life. Go to Thailand, that is, don’t enjoy an excessively comfortable life. In Huangdi Neijing, it is said that "diet is moderate, daily life is regular, and work is orderly". Zhuangzi’s "Happy Travel", "Health Master" and Confucian health-keeping thoughts all contain many elements of nourishing the heart. We can get a lot of inspiration from these beneficial things.

　　In 1917, that is, nearly a hundred years ago, Mao Zedong, a young man, advocated "civilizing his spirit and barbarizing his physique" in the article "Research on Sports". So, can today’s physical and mental health care be regarded as a continuation of this initiative? The answer is, of course, yes. (Mu Zi)
