补肾益精却病延年
关键词:肾虚 老年病 肾精 肾气
随着超过60岁的老年人口以每年3.2%速度增长,今年我国的老年人口突破1.3亿,约占人口总数的10%,我国将成为一个老年型国家。因此,加强和完善对老年病的研究已成为一个十分迫切的课题。
衰老既是一种病理变化,又是一种不可避免的生理过程。长期以来,一直有许多医家在探讨衰老的原因与机制,并提出了100多种不同的衰老学说,众说纷云,虽各有其理,但究其根源,肾虚是人体衰老的根本原因。
一、肾中精气,主宰人生
肾为先天之本,肾中精气是构成人体的基本物质,它与人体生命过程有着密切的关系,<<素问.金匮真言论>>说:"夫精者,生之本也"人出生后,由于"先天之精"得到"后天之精"的充养,肾中精气不断充盛,促进着幼儿骨骼及智力的发育,进而化生出促进性腺发育成熟的物质"天癸",男子产生精子,女子月经来潮,具备了生殖力。因此,当肾中精气充足时,精力充沛,骨坚牙固,耳目聪明,毛发润泽,二便自调, 从而提高了生命质量。以后随着肾中精气由充盛逐渐转向衰退,"天癸"的生成减少直至耗竭,生殖能力下降,以至消失,人也就从中年而转入老年,出现骨枯髓减脑空,身矮背驼、腰酸耳鸣、齿摇发白等老态,正如<<素问.上古天真论>> 云:"肾脏衰,形体皆极。由此可见,肾中精气是决定人的生、长、壮、老、死生命活动的主要条件,主宰着人的寿命和生命质量。故虞抟曰:" 肾元盛则寿延,肾元衰则寿失"。(<<黄芪、鹿茸、杞子、巴戟天等)抗衰老机理作了大量的实验研究,认为具有抑制导致衰老的“酶”,清除自由基,抗氧化作用和调节微量元素等方面取得了可喜的成果,并可在细胞和分子生物学方面作进一步研究。
