Traditional Chinese medicine has a different attitude toward aging, along with different strategies for coping with it:
To age healthfully, people need to protect their kidney qi and essence as early as possible. Things that will help include having a healthy lifestyle, such as regular and enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, regular physical activity, having a healthy sex life, and coping with life with less fear.
Foods that are thought to replenish kidney energy, such as grains, dark green leafy vegetables (cooked), black soybeans, black sesame seeds, black mushrooms, walnuts, chestnuts, fish, shrimp, seaweed, lamb, and duck. Herbs thought to support kidney energy are ginseng, Rehmannia root, and lychee nut.
One can learn to stimulate acupuncture points with self-acupressure. Many relaxation techniques and energy exercises can positively affect meridian balance. We particularly recommend mindfulness-based meditation, Tai Chi, and qigong. Chinese medicine-based cultivation systems like Falun Dafa go beyond anti-aging and aim for spiritual enlightenment and eternal life.
Aging is a natural process of life, and healthy aging is achievable, particularly through integrating that best of Eastern and Western medicine. Therefore, it is advisable that you have a consultation with a well-trained doctor of traditional Chinese medicine to discuss an individual plan that uses ancient Chinese wisdom. However, you should do so in addition to the care you already get from your doctors of conventional medicine.
