Everyone ages—a process of gradual physical and mental wear and tear. Aging is more of a slow torture than death. The rate at which each person ages varies, much like how well-maintained utensils can remain as good as new over time. Understanding how to care for one's body determines the speed of its aging; aging slowly and living longer is what truly matters.
Before attempting to delay aging, one must first understand how the human body ages. Most modern medical research focuses on underlying structures such as genes, proteins, and cells. While it's undeniable that these microscopic components age, aging is actually more of a systemic phenomenon. For example, if a drain is clogged with garbage, even if you replace every brick in the drain with new ones without unclogging it, the drain will still be blocked. However, if you unclog it, even an old drain can function well.
Consider how a car ages: over time, various parts wear out, rust, plastics harden and become brittle, oil passages get clogged with impurities, carbon deposits and sludge accumulate in the engine, and cylinder pistons wear out, leading to fistula disease in the engine oil. If you maintain it well—regularly oiling parts to prevent rust, applying protective agents to plastics to prevent brittleness, adding carbon deposit removers to the fuel, and maintenance agents to the engine oil—the car can still perform well even after 20 to 30 years. The human body is similar. With years of use, tissues begin to wear out, and impurities accumulate in the circulatory pathways. If you regularly "oil" the body's tissues and clear the circulatory pathways, the body can "run" smoothly for another 20 to 30 years.
Therefore, anti-aging must be systemic, taking into account the overall decline in organ function and the gradual clogging of circulatory pathways. Just as when the plants in a garden gradually wither, it's not about replanting each one individually but prioritizing the systemic improvement of water supply and channel flow. The mainstream anti-aging methods currently on the market are called supplemental maintenance: taking whatever nutrients are lacking, often without knowing if they are actually deficient, and not addressing the declining organ function or clearing the circulatory pathways. Their ineffectiveness is predictable.
How does Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) combat aging? First, the digestive system is the source of nutrients for the entire body, so a strong digestive system is essential for anti-aging. As age increases, the body's digestive function declines year by year, and TCM can significantly boost digestive function and promote smooth bowel movements. Quality sleep allows the body and mind to rest adequately, and TCM can help improve sleep. Strong heart and lung functions keep the body energetic and mentally sharp, and TCM can effectively enhance these functions. For various hardening and blockages of the heart and blood vessels, TCM can soften and clear them. For various bone loss, joint degeneration, loose teeth, alopecia areata, frequent urination, fistula disease, vision deterioration, and hearing loss, TCM can effectively prevent, improve, and consolidate these conditions.The anti-aging properties of TCM are systemic, with a complete and scientific set of principles, rules, and a full range of non-toxic and effective medications. TCM is the only medical practice on this planet capable of detecting imbalances within the individual's internal zang-fu organs and providing appropriate regulation to restore balance. A well-trained TCM physician can accurately determine which organ functions are currently low in an individual and assess the degree of blockage in the individual's circulatory pathways. They can then apply effective treatments to the underperforming zang-fu organs and clear the blocked pathways. The Chinese medicinals used for anti-aging are completely non-toxic and do not impose any burden on the liver and kidneys. In fact, patients with previously weak liver or kidney functions may find these organs strengthened by taking the correct Chinese medicinals.
With TCM, most of those supplementary health products can almost be thrown into the trash. Instead of spending so much time buying those bottles and jars of skincare products and taking them at every smallpox time, it would be better to spend a little time understanding TCM and learning the true, complete, scientific, and comprehensive knowledge and methods of anti-aging. By finding the right TCM physician, one can receive the most comprehensive and affordable anti-aging services on the planet.At the age of 55, while busy with medical practice, I've still managed to learn new web technologies and independently revamped the "Yibian" website I originally built in my 30s - now launching its international edition. I even wrote a 200,000-word novel Seven Reincarnations. All this owes much to the sustaining power of TCM maintenance. While others suffer from yin-yang deficiency, physical and mental fatigue, and helplessness, you can always maintain yin-yang balance and a full spirit of essential qi with the help of TCM! No matter how much wealth you accumulate, only those who are physically strong, healthy into old age, and laugh last are the real winners.
