Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of health conditioning technology, and more specifically, to a method for improving physical health. Background Technology
[0002] With the profound changes in modern lifestyles, sedentary lifestyles, high-fat and high-sugar diets, staying up late, and high stress have become common phenomena, leading to imbalances in the body's water and dampness metabolism, which has become one of the most significant sub-health issues affecting the health of billions of people worldwide.
[0003] Long-term imbalance in water and dampness metabolism not only severely reduces quality of life and work efficiency, but also gradually damages the spleen and stomach's digestive function and the circulation of qi and blood in the internal organs, becoming a significant contributing factor to various chronic metabolic diseases such as obesity, hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic digestive system diseases. With the continuous improvement of public health awareness, the demand for conditioning water and dampness metabolism imbalance has seen explosive growth.
[0004] However, existing conditioning techniques often employ single-dimensional or simple additive approaches, failing to recognize that human fluid metabolism is a systemic process involving the interdependence and synergistic effects of fluid transport, blood and qi circulation, and organ function. Most solutions focus on a single aspect, such as taking dehumidification products alone, implementing a single exercise plan, or providing general drinking advice, making it difficult to form a complete metabolic loop. Therefore, we propose a combined approach to improve overall health. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, adapt to the needs of reality, and provide a combined method to improve physical health, so as to solve the technical problem that the current technology is too singular and difficult to form a complete metabolic closed loop.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for improving physical health, comprising the following steps: S1.

Pathway ground state consolidation: The first stage is executed to open up the conditioning pathways until the subject's body reaches the preset basic physiological index threshold. The second stage of homeostasis consolidation conditioning is then executed to maintain the core operating parameters of the first stage unchanged and enhance the synergistic effect of the three effects. S3, Parameter Gradient Reduction: When the subject's body reaches the preset advanced physiological index threshold, the third stage of parameter reduction adjustment is executed to gradually reduce the intensity of conditioning. S4. Long-term dynamic maintenance: Entering the long-term continuous consolidation stage, maintaining stable basic conditioning parameters, and making dynamic adaptive fine adjustments based on the real-time physiological state of the subject.
[0007] Preferably, in step S101, the water replenishment program is started within 10 minutes of waking up each morning, the drinking water temperature is 35-40℃, the total water intake is 2-3L, and it is drunk in 6 to 8 times at a uniform speed, with the duration controlled at 30-45 minutes.

[0009] Preferably, step S103 is started immediately after the completion of the hydration and dehumidification cake (herbal tea) consumption operation, and the exercise duration is 45-70 minutes; during the exercise, the subject's heart rate is less than 110 beats / min and the step frequency is less than 100 steps / min; if the subject experiences symptoms of weakness, palpitations or dizziness during the exercise, the exercise is stopped immediately and the subject rests.
[0010] Preferably, in step S103, the tightening of the calves and the initial sweating are used as indicators of exercise effectiveness, and one or more dynamic stretching movements such as shoulder swinging, waist twisting, leg kicking, hip swinging, and knee raising can be selectively assisted.
[0011] Preferably, the specific execution specifications for the low-intensity walking exercise in step S103 are as follows: A metronome device was used to set a beat frequency of 90 BPM to assist in controlling the cadence. During the exercise, a constant walking speed was maintained, and it was not allowed to stop for a long time or suddenly accelerate or decelerate. After the exercise was completed each day, the exercise duration, average cadence, heart rate changes and the subject's physical feelings were recorded as a basis for subsequent dynamic adaptive adjustments.
[0012] Preferably, the preset advanced physiological index threshold for parameter reduction adjustment in step S3 is as follows: For 3-5 consecutive days, the subjects had a thin white tongue coating upon waking, clear and copious urine, no stiffness in their joints, and no significant soreness in the calf muscles when walking.
[0013] Preferably, the parameter reduction adjustment in step S3 is as follows: Reduce the total daily dosage of the dehumidifying cake (herbal tea) to 50g, and take it only once in the morning; adjust the frequency of water replenishment to 6 times a day, with a single water intake of 300-400ml; the duration of low-intensity walking exercise is 30-40 minutes, with a step frequency of less than 100 steps / min.

[0015] Preferably, the advancement determination between each step requires a comprehensive assessment of four core physiological indicators: tongue coating status, urine characteristics, joint mobility, and muscle sensation after exercise. Only when all four indicators reach the preset threshold of the corresponding stage can the next stage be entered. If any one of them fails to meet the standard, the execution cycle of the current stage will be extended by 3 to 7 days, and a reassessment will be conducted before determining whether to advance to the next stage.

Attached Figure Description
[0017] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the steps of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the operation of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0018] Examples, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the present invention relates to a method for improving physical health in combination, comprising the following steps: S1. Construction of the Three-Effect System: Construct a three-effect synergistic conditioning system with water as the guide, movement as the driving force, and food as the supplement, and perform operations synchronously according to the preset time sequence every day; S101. Gradual hydration procedure: Start the hydration program within 10 minutes of waking up each morning. Drink water at a temperature of 35-40℃, with a total volume of 2-3L, divided into 6-8 evenly spaced drinks, each lasting 30-45 minutes. S102. Instructions for consuming Dehumidifying Cake (Herbal Tea): Take Dehumidifying Cake (Herbal Tea) twice a day, once in the morning and once at noon. The dosage for each serving is 25-50g, and the total daily dosage is 50-100g.
[0019] S103, Low-intensity walking exercise operation; start immediately after completing the hydration and dehumidification cake (herbal tea) consumption operation, exercise duration 45-70min; during the exercise, the subject's heart rate is less than 110 beats / min, and the step frequency is less than 100 steps / min; if the subject experiences symptoms of weakness, palpitations or dizziness during the exercise, stop the exercise immediately and rest.
[0020] The effectiveness of the exercise is indicated by the feeling of tightness in the calves and the first signs of sweating. It can also be used to selectively perform one or more dynamic stretching movements, such as shoulder swinging, waist twisting, leg kicking, hip swinging, and knee raising.
[0021] The specific guidelines for low-intensity walking exercise are as follows: Use a metronome device to set a beat frequency of 90 BPM to assist in controlling the cadence. Maintain a constant walking speed during the exercise, and do not stop for extended periods or suddenly accelerate or decelerate. After each day's exercise, record the exercise duration, average cadence, heart rate changes, and the subject's physical sensations as a basis for subsequent dynamic adaptive adjustments. S2. Pathway ground state consolidation: The first stage is executed to open up the conditioning pathways until the subject's body reaches the preset basic physiological index threshold. The second stage of homeostasis consolidation conditioning is then executed to maintain the core operating parameters of the first stage unchanged and enhance the synergistic effect of the three effects. S3, Parameter Gradient Reduction: When the subject's body reaches the preset advanced physiological index threshold, the third stage of parameter reduction adjustment is executed to gradually reduce the intensity of conditioning. The preset advanced physiological index thresholds for parameter reduction adjustment are as follows: the subject's tongue coating remains thin and white for 3-5 consecutive mornings, urine is clear and transparent, there is no stiffness in the joints, and the calf muscles do not show obvious soreness when walking.
[0022] The parameters have been adjusted as follows: the total daily dose of the dehumidifying cake (herbal tea) has been reduced to 50g, and it should only be taken once in the morning; the frequency of hydration has been adjusted to 6 times a day, with a single dose of 300-400ml; the duration of low-intensity walking exercise is 30-40 minutes, with a step frequency of less than 100 steps / min.
[0023] S4. Long-term dynamic maintenance: Entering the long-term continuous consolidation stage, maintaining stable basic conditioning parameters, and making dynamic adaptive fine adjustments based on the real-time physiological state of the subject.
[0024] The basic operating parameters remain consistent with those in step S3. During the execution process, the total daily water intake and walking duration are finely adjusted within ±10% based on the individual physical tolerance of the subject. The daily dosage of the dampness-removing cake (herbal tea) should not be less than 30g, and the walking frequency should not exceed 100 steps / min.
[0025] The advancement determination between each step requires a comprehensive assessment of four core physiological indicators: tongue coating condition, urine characteristics, joint mobility, and muscle sensation after exercise. Only when all four indicators reach the preset threshold of the corresponding stage can the next stage be entered. If any one of them fails to meet the standard, the execution cycle of the current stage will be extended by 3 to 7 days, and a reassessment will be conducted before determining whether to advance to the next stage.
[0026] This invention overcomes the problems of traditional single-effect dampness removal methods, such as slow results, uneven conditioning, lack of standards for dryness and dampness regulation, uncontrollable exercise intensity, fixed plans that cannot adapt to changes in body constitution, and lack of quantitative basis for advancement, by constructing a three-effect synergistic closed-loop conditioning system based on water as a guide, movement as a driving force, and food as a supplement.
[0027] This invention integrates progressive scientific hydration, internal conditioning with medicinal and edible dampness-removing cakes (herbal tea), and low-intensity rhythmic walking exercise in a sequential and systematic manner. It also sets up a multi-stage gradient progression, parameter reduction control, and a four-dimensional physiological indicator joint advancement judgment mechanism to achieve full-cycle adaptive conditioning from pathway opening, homeostasis consolidation, gradient reduction to long-term maintenance. This allows the body's water and dampness metabolism to gradually restore balance. The conditioning process is safe, gentle, standardized, quantifiable, progressive, and sustainable, effectively solving sub-health problems such as dampness accumulation, body heaviness, joint stiffness, and poor metabolism.
[0028] This invention first implements the S1 three-effect system construction step, establishing a standardized time-series synergistic conditioning mechanism. Daily, it synchronously completes hydration, internal dampness elimination, and dynamic exercise intervention according to a fixed schedule, forming a synergistic conditioning effect of promoting water circulation, internalizing the herbal formula, and promoting excretion through exercise. Specifically, the S101 gradual hydration operation adopts the golden hydration mode upon waking, initiating the hydration program within 10 minutes of waking, using warm water at 35-40℃ to avoid the problems of cold water stimulating the internal organs and high-temperature water damaging metabolism. The total daily water intake is controlled at 2-3L, divided into 6 to 8 doses consumed at a uniform pace over 30-45 minutes. Through this gradual, uniform, warm water hydration method, the body's morning metabolic function is gently awakened, gradually clearing the body fluid circulation pathways and avoiding the problem of excessive burden on the spleen and stomach and water retention caused by drinking large amounts of water at once, laying a circulatory foundation for subsequent dampness elimination and metabolism.
[0029] S102. The Dampness-Clearing Cake (Herbal Tea) is administered via a timed, divided-times-period internal consumption plan. It is taken twice daily, once in the morning and once at noon, with each single dose ranging from 25-50g, and a total daily dose of 50-100g. Taking it at these times allows for continuous spleen-strengthening and dampness-removing effects throughout the day, ensuring the effective components of the cake continue to act on the body's metabolic system. This internally regulates the spleen and stomach's digestive capacity, addressing the root cause of dampness accumulation. Combined with external hydration and exercise, this achieves synergistic internal and external regulation. Compared to a single large dose, timed administration results in more complete absorption, a more stable regulatory effect, and is less likely to burden the digestive system.
[0030] S103, the low-intensity walking exercise program is set to start immediately after daily hydration and taking the herbal formula, achieving a seamless transition in the treatment sequence. It utilizes the metabolic window after hydration and the formula's effects, combined with exercise to further accelerate the elimination of dampness and water retention. The exercise duration is strictly controlled between 45-70 minutes, with the subject's heart rate kept below 110 beats / min and step frequency below 100 steps / min throughout. This extremely low-intensity aerobic metabolic mode avoids the depletion of qi and blood and physical weakness caused by high-intensity exercise, making it suitable for the tolerance characteristics of individuals with weak constitutions and excessive dampness. A safety termination mechanism is also included; if symptoms such as weakness, palpitations, or dizziness occur during exercise, the exercise should be stopped immediately for rest, ensuring a safe and stress-free treatment process.
[0031] This invention establishes precise exercise efficacy standards, using the sensation of tightness in the calves and the initial sweating as the effective exercise threshold. This ensures that the exercise intensity is just right to activate water metabolism and unblock the meridians of the lower limbs, avoiding both excessive exercise that depletes vital energy and insufficient intensity that fails to promote the elimination of dampness. Simultaneously, it can be selectively combined with dynamic stretching movements such as shoulder swings, waist twists, leg kicks, hip swings, and knee raises to comprehensively unblock the joints and meridians throughout the body, relieving stiffness caused by dampness and enhancing the overall effect of unblocking meridians and eliminating dampness. To standardize exercise and avoid individual differences in exercise, this invention uses a metronome set to a standard 90 BPM to assist in step control, ensuring a constant walking speed throughout, prohibiting prolonged stops and sudden acceleration or deceleration. Daily records of exercise duration, cadence, heart rate changes, and physical sensations provide quantitative data support for subsequent dynamic adaptive parameter adjustments, achieving scientific and data-driven conditioning.
[0032] This invention achieves a solid foundation for conditioning through the S2 pathway ground state consolidation step, divided into a two-stage steady-state conditioning logic. The core of the first stage is to open up the whole-body water and dampness conditioning pathway, continuously performing the three-effect synergistic basic operation until the subject's body reaches the preset basic physiological index threshold, clearing the meridians, body fluids, and spleen and stomach metabolic pathways, and eliminating the basic conditions for dampness accumulation. The second stage maintains the core operating parameters of the first stage unchanged, continuously strengthening the synergistic effect of water, exercise, and diet, consolidating the unobstructed state of the pathways, stabilizing the body's metabolic rhythm, avoiding metabolic rebound after the initial unblocking, and achieving steady-state solidification of the conditioning state.
[0033] Once the body's metabolic capacity has steadily improved, the S3 step, parameter gradient reduction, is implemented. Reduction is based on precisely quantified advanced physiological indicators. Only after the subject has achieved all four indicators—a thin white tongue coating upon waking for 3-5 consecutive days, clear and copious urine, no stiffness in joints, and no significant soreness in the calf muscles during walking—can the parameter reduction phase begin. This ensures that reduction is done as needed, gradually, and without abrupt cessation. The reduction adjustment adopts a gradual and gentle downward adjustment mode, reducing the total daily dosage of the dampness-removing cake (herbal tea) to 50g, changing it to a single morning dose to reduce the internal conditioning dosage; adjusting the water replenishment frequency to 6 times a day, with each drink controlled at 300-400ml, moderately reducing the water load; simultaneously reducing the duration of low-intensity walking exercise to 30-40 minutes, while maintaining a step rate below 100 steps / min. While maintaining the conditioning effect, the intervention intensity is gradually reduced, allowing the body to gradually take over metabolic functions autonomously, avoiding the recurrence of dampness caused by abrupt cessation of conditioning.
[0034] Finally, the S4 step, long-term dynamic maintenance, is executed to enter the long-term consolidation and conditioning stage. The overall basic operating parameters remain consistent with those in the reduction stage. At the same time, a personalized dynamic fine-tuning mechanism is established, which can adaptively fine-tune the total daily water intake and walking exercise duration within ±10% based on the subject's real-time physical tolerance. Meanwhile, the daily intake of dampness-removing cake (herbal tea) is strictly limited to no less than 30g and the walking frequency is limited to no more than 100 steps / min. Setting parameter baselines ensures the stability and effectiveness of long-term conditioning, while retaining space for personalized adaptation and avoiding excessive fluctuations in parameters that may affect the conditioning effect, thereby achieving long-term steady-state dampness removal and maintaining the body's metabolic balance.
[0035] This invention features a unique four-dimensional joint advancement judgment mechanism. Throughout the process, four core physiological indicators—tongue coating condition, urine characteristics, joint mobility, and muscle sensation after exercise—are used as the sole basis for advancing to the next stage. All four indicators must be met simultaneously to advance to the next stage. If any indicator fails to meet the standard, the execution cycle of the current stage is extended by 3 to 7 days until the body is fully adapted and the indicators are stable before reassessing the advancement. This addresses the industry pain points of traditional conditioning methods, such as the lack of quantifiable standards, arbitrary advancement, and easy relapse.
[0036] This invention constructs a complete dampness-removing and conditioning system by building a three-effect synergistic closed-loop conditioning system based on water as a guide, movement as a driving force, and food as a supplement. Through the superimposed effects of water-guiding and meridian-clearing, herbal formula-based internal regulation, and exercise-promoting elimination, combined with a four-stage scientific process of unblocking, consolidating, reducing, and maintaining, it achieves a gradual transition from passive intervention to the body's autonomous metabolic homeostasis.

Those skilled in the art can easily understand the spirit of this invention based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and variations, but as long as they do not depart from the spirit of this invention, they are all within the protection scope of this invention.
