Health is Wealth – Lifestyle base on the movement of the sun day and night

Human body is largely run by about 1000 biological rhythms  as quoted by Andreas Moritz, a popular health book author, in his book “Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation”.

It is very important that we follow a life style base on the routine of sun in  day and night where we awake in the morning and sleep at night.  The most important biological rhythm is the production of two neurotransmitter by our body, melatonin at night – Ying , serotonin at day light - Yang.  Melatonin is a sleep inducing hormone which response to darkness,  serotonin is happiness producing brain hormone which response to natural sunlight.   The secretion of both neurotransmitter follow a 24 hour clock.  This hormone is secreted directly into blood stream to let all body cells know “what time it is” in relation of the earth position to the sun.  Melatonin is the lowest at about noon time and peak at ox hour 1-3 am.

Another neurotransmitter which is pivotal to our well being, serotonin increases with daylight and physical activities.  This neurotransmitter influence our day and night rhythms, our emotional state (depression, memory, impulsiveness) & appetite.  The amount of both transmitter will signal our body cell whether it is day or night and regulate the cell activities. 

Beside the main cycle of melatonin and serotonin,  some of biological activities which also follow a cyclic pattern of 24 hours are :

1. Large bowel movement is most active in early morning
2. Liver is more active at night to cleanse our blood
3. Bone marrow produce blood cells at night when we are sleeping
4. Most digestive enzymes are produce during day time,  thus we must have our decent meal during daytime
5. Bile production peak at midday,  therefore it is good to have a bigger meal during the lunch.

 It is very important we follow the sun cycle to allow a natural synchronization of our body activity according to the sun routine.  Chinese had divided a day into 12 animal sign with 2 hour for each animal sign.   I am not sure if mere coincident that the wise person in the past label the animal according to the activity such as pig hour is 9 to 11 pm which is for sleeping and we associated pig is an animal likes to sleep.  Tiger hour is 3-5 am and most retreat camp require the participant to wake up before 5 am and be active like a tiger.  Then horse hour is noon time 11 am to 1 pm, which means eat like a horse for lunch.

Biological activities according to 24 hour clock

If we follow a good lifestyle benchmark against the position of the sun in relation to the earth and a healthy diet consist of more natural food with less sugar and salt  we should be able to maintain our health well. Before we upgrade ourselves to a better life we must have a balance healthy life style with good energy flow.  This is the reason why well being is an important in Chinese 5 arts.

Unfortunately the younger generation has reverse the cycle and thus there had been more and more mental and health related issues esp in the urban area. 

Tips to keep you healthy

1. Drink a glass of warm water immediately wake up in the morning will help to flush out toxins
2. Drink natural honey water with lemon juice in the morning before breakfast will also help to remove toxins
3. To prevent cough drink water infuse with pudina leaves.  If your throat is itchy or having whooping cough you can chew raw mint leaves.  There are 2 types leaves which I use per photo below.
4. If there is running nose due to flu,  grate lemon skin and add in very hot or boiling water and inhale the steam infuse with lemon smell.  It will help to clear your nose if you do it once or twice or even more often. This remedy had also help to alleviate children running nose problem. 
5. Use coconut oil for cooking.

Health is Wealth – We are what we eat

In Chinese Metaphysics or the Chinese 5 Arts, one of the most important subjects is health, wellbeing, and healing through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), known as "Yi" in Chinese.

TCM and Ayurveda, two of the oldest records related to human health, suggest that human beings are born with the ability to self-heal and balance their energy or "qi." However, certain lifestyle choices, activities, or diets can disrupt this balance and lead to health problems. TCM offers various healing methods, such as acupuncture and herbs, to restore balance and harmony to the body's energy systems.

TCM is based on the fundamental principles of Chinese metaphysics, namely yin and yang with the five elements representing both polarities. TCM categorizes various body organs into five elements with yin and yang polarity. During a person's birth, they have already absorbed energy from the moment of birth, including the year, month, day, and hour elements, making these energies building blocks for the body. Some people may have weaker organs due to a lack of a specific element at the time of birth or due to clashes between elements in their birth chart. A Bazi consultant can help decode the birth chart and suggest enhancements through "man luck." Please refer to my earlier article on birth chart and elemental energy for more information. (Birth chart ; 4 pillars) 

Element	Ying Organ	Yang Organ	Interesting facts
Wood	Liver	Gall Bladder	A person with good quality wood element will have a good vitality as liver associated to wood.  Liver purified blood that bring nutrients to the rest of body. Liver detox is essential in maintaining
Fire	Heart, pericardium	Small intestine, triple burner	When there is fire water clash in the birth chart and environment energy, high chance of heart attack
Earth	Spleen	Stomach	It is advisable to drink warm water or exercise to get heat to strengthen digestive system.  Fire strengthen earth
Metal	Lungs	Large intestine	A body defense system depend very much on strength of lungs and colon. Lung can be nourish through breathing of good quality air.
Water	Kidney	Urinary/Bladder	Drink a lot of water to flush out the toxin in the kidney

Chinese metaphysics studies energy patterns within ourselves and the environment. Human energy derives from the food we eat, and in order to stay healthy, we must maintain a balanced diet, which has become a universal mantra. A balanced diet in TCM means balancing yin and yang and the five elements. TCM practitioners divide food into yin (cooling food) and yang (warming food) categories based on the taste and color of the food, followed by the five-element category.

Since our energy derives from the food we eat, it is advisable to consume food as close as possible to its natural form, fresh and direct from the source. The existence of the Homo sapiens species dates back more than 30,000 years, and while we have evolved in several ways, our body biochemistry has not changed that much. Our body enzymes are designed to break down natural food into energy packets that our body cells can easily absorb. Unfortunately, processed food has become popular over the years for its convenience and taste, but it has "contaminated" our eating habits. Processed food goes through a long supply chain, and each transformation step alters the natural chemical and energy structure of the food cell. Our body cannot recognize the modified chemical structure and therefore cannot metabolize the food properly, leading to toxins.

Natural Food chain which consist of 3-5 chain before comsumption

Processed food chain which could consist of 10 or even more chains

Processed foods can be a significant source of harmful chemicals that can wreak havoc on our health. It's true that we are what we eat, so consuming too much junk food can have a devastating impact on our well-being. When processed foods contain excessive amounts of salt, sugar, or other chemicals, they can negatively affect our body and brain chemistry. These unhealthy chemicals turn into toxins that can cause our cells to mutate and cloud our mental clarity. Countless studies have shown that healthy people tend to eat natural foods in moderation. Overindulging in food can overwork our digestive system and lead to imbalances that hinder our physical and mental performance. When our energy is focused on digesting food, we may find it challenging to think with clarity and make wise decisions. Therefore, it's important to remember that a healthy body and mind are essential for success in all aspects of life.
