健康、养生与经络 - 1
每个人都想要拥有健康，想要活得更久。但大家所熟悉并习惯的现代医学，却不能有效的治疗癌症及高血压、糖尿病、胆固醇过高等各种慢性病。基本上西医只能控制『症状』并无法根治任何疾病。就拿最平常的感冒来说，所有的西药也都只是控制『症状』的程度，让我们感到较舒适，要治愈感冒还是要靠身体的自愈系统将寒气驱除到体外。
那我们要如何保持身体的健康呢？目前人们所注重的大都在饮食方面，有太多的报导都在告诉我们吃某些食物会对健康有帮助，而某些食物有致癌的危险。一般人认为要维持健康，要靠吃东西，只要吃了对待食物就可以拥有健康的身体。但我们忽略了我们的健康状况与人体的经脉是否畅通有很大的关系。当经脉不能畅通而正常地运送血气及养分到人体的各器官组织，吃了再多健康有益的食物或补品，人体无法将之运送到需要的器官，那不是一种浪费吗？所以我认为要维持人体的健康必须要做到：
- 维持人体各经脉的畅通
- 均匀的饮食
- 正常的生活起居习惯
人体组织是一个最完美的结构，以中医的理论，身体各器官是完全与五行相关的（基本上它是个小宇宙）是最合乎大自然运转的规则与变化。人体除了有我们所熟知的免疫系统，还有自动诊断系统及自愈修复系统。免疫系统大多用于对抗外来的病毒及各种毒物质，而自愈修复系统则会修复身体所有受损的器官，包括外伤及人体各器官的坏损。例如骨折，当医师将你折断的骨接好固定后，人体的自愈系统在一定的时间就会修复损坏的骨骼，医师并没有做其他的事帮助人体修复骨骼。轻微的外伤只要血止住 了（止血也是人体自愈系统的一环），人体会自动修复受损的肌肉及皮肤，根本不需医师的治疗。当我们有身体感到不适（症状）时，除非你的经络不畅通且血气不足，仅需好好地休息，过几天也就好了。仔细想想我们会发现人体的自愈系统无时不在工作，只是工作效率会因经络的畅通与否及气血是否有足够有很大的关系因此要维持身体健康，最最要的是保持人体十四条经脉的畅通。人体有五脏 （实心的器官：心、肝、肾、肺、脾）六腑（空心的器官：胃、大肠、小肠、胆、膀胱、三焦），每一个器官都有一条经络连接外面的组织，再加上心包经及任、督二脉共十四条主要的经脉。

The Essential Elements of keeping a Healthy Body and Meridian Vessel
How do we keep the body healthy? Most people focus on their present diet, there are too many reports telling us to eat some healthy food will do the job, and some foods are carcinogenic risk. Most people think that to maintain health, one can rely on eating good food, as long as the food we eat can give us a healthy body. But we ignore the health of our body's meridians is smooth and has a great relationship. When the meridians is not working smooth and not functioning normal by delivering blood and nutrients to the body's organs and tissues, eating healthy will not help the body to deliver the nutrients to the organs. It would be a waste, so I think to maintain the health of the body we must: Make sure that the flow of the meridians of our human body are will maintain.
- Maintain the smooth flow of the meridians of the body
- Normal healthy diet
- Normal daily life style
For instance, when our bones break, doctor would put a cast to immobilize the fracture. However, it is our self healing system that mends the broken bones. Doctor actually can't do much to help fix the fracture. As with the minor cuts and scrapes we get, as long as the bleeding stops (the ability to stop bleeding is a part of our body's self healing system), our body will automatically fix the damaged muscles and skin. We don't necessary need a doctors help. Even with obstructed meridian vessels and less amount of energy, with some rest, we'll feel better in a couple of days. If we think about it carefully, we'll notice that our body's self healing system is constantly working. Its effectiveness is highly connected to whether our meridian vessels are dredger or if we have enough healthy Qi and blood. Therefore, in order to maintain good health, it is critical to keep our fourteen major meridian vessels free of obstruction. Our body has five organs (the solid organs: Heart, Liver, Kidney, Lung and Spleen) and sis bowels (the hollow organs: Stomach, Big Intestine, Small Intestine, Gall Bladder, Bladder, and Triple Burner). Every organ has a meridian vessel connected to the outside tissues, plus the pericardium meridian, conception vessel and governor vessel, make a total 14 major meridian vessels.
