During the May Day Golden Week, the crowds in Hong Kong reappeared. It coincides with the peak season of influenza and the new coronavirus variant has entered Hong Kong once more. The crowds are so dense that it is easy to get caught once more! Wearing a mask, washing your hands frequently, and avoiding gatherings are important preventive measures, but don’t forget the body’s own ability to resist disease – “righteousness”. In the crowd, why do you have the misfortune to be recruited? In fact, there is no accident in the world, only necessity. Just as the Yellow Emperor’s Internal Classics said: “When evil gathers together, its qi must be empty”!
Zhang Litong, a registered Chinese medicine doctor, said that whether the human body will experience external evils, or whether it can recover quickly following suffering from evils, is closely related to the ability to resist diseases. The so-called “righteousness exists, evil cannot be done”, when righteousness is strong, disease and evil cannot easily invade the body and cause trouble. To enhance disease resistance, the first thing to do is to eliminate the factor of “deficiency” according to different constitutions, but also to adapt to the current situation. Chinese medicine attaches great importance to the prevention of disease. “Prevention before disease” is the major principle of Chinese medicine theory. The combination of work and rest, smooth emotions and healthy diet are the major prerequisites for strengthening the body. Just as it is said in “Drinking Meals”: “When the temperature is spring, it is advisable to eat wheat to cool it; in summer, it is hot, it is advisable to eat beans to cool it; in autumn, it is dry, it is advisable to eat hemp to moisten it…”
