On the 17th, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine held a special press conference on "Traditional Chinese Medicine and Exercise Health" to promote the health of traditional Chinese medicine in China. The conference introduced the concept of traditional Chinese medicine exercise and health preservation, as well as methods of recuperation, and answered questions from reporters. At the meeting, Zhang Lewei, director of the Sports Rehabilitation Research Center at the Institute of Sports Medicine of the General Administration of Sport of China, pointed out that for children, especially those in the growth and development stage, the growth of all things in spring is an important period for their development. In spring, the temperature warms up and the sunshine time prolongs, making it particularly suitable for outdoor sports. Zhang Lewei introduced that many exercises can help with the growth and development of adolescents. In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a saying that "movement generates yang", and sufficient yang qi helps to regulate the spleen and stomach and warm the kidneys. In traditional Chinese medicine, there are many exercises and techniques that have good effects on protecting innate kidney qi and supplementing acquired temperament. For example, sports such as Eight Section Brocade and Five Animal Play that we often talk about. The action of "regulating the spleen and stomach with a single lift" in the Eight Section Brocade can effectively stretch our abdomen, promote the peristalsis of the spleen and stomach, and enhance spleen and stomach function by lifting and pressing our arms up and down. There is also an action called "climbing the feet with both hands to strengthen the kidneys and waist". By bending and stretching, it can stimulate our bladder meridian, lower limb and leg meridians, and waist meridians, playing a role in nourishing the kidneys and strengthening the waist. The deer play in the Five Animal Play imitates the posture of deer and emphasizes the movement of the waist and spine, which can also have the effect of strengthening the waist and nourishing the kidneys; Xiong Xi can stimulate the meridians of the stomach and kidneys by twisting and shaking the body, which helps to strengthen the spleen and kidney. Zhang Lewei said that in addition, there are many sports such as skipping rope, kicking shuttlecock, jogging, etc., which can also stimulate the spleen and kidney meridians of the feet, promote blood circulation, and enhance organ function. These sports are all helpful for growth and development. Zhang Lewei emphasized that unscientific exercise habits can harm the spleen and kidneys. For example, excessive and vigorous exercise can consume qi and fluids, leading to insufficient spleen and stomach circulation and excessive consumption of kidney qi. This not only fails to promote growth and development, but can also lead to excessive fatigue and weakened immunity. For example, some children grow slowly due to excessive exercise, which may be related to excessive physical activity. For example, exercising immediately after meals and indulging in cold drinks after exercise can affect the circulation of the spleen and stomach, leading to problems such as indigestion, bloating, and stomach pain.
