1 . During the 2016 Rio Olympics, people were surprised to see the round, purple marks on the body of the famous American swimmer Michael Phelps. What happened to him? In fact, he just visited a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and had “cupping” (拔火罐).
Massage (推拿) and acupuncture (针灸) are two other important kinds of TCM. Chinese massage can make you relaxed and fresh. Acupuncture takes away pain, though the look is funny.
TCM is an important part of Chinese culture. The earliest medical classic in China, Huangdi’s Classic on Medicine, came out more than 2,000 years ago. The book is about the relationship between man and nature. Nature keeps balanced if yin and yang work well together. TCM helps to do that Quit especially, for some health problems, a doctor of TCM will not give you medicine. Instead, he may give you just a food plan and right ways to eat.
For example, it is common to eat on the way to school at our desk, or in front of the TV. But TCM thinks it’s wrong. Here are the correct ways: sit down to eat. While eating, turn off the TV and get away from the work desk. Eat seasonal foods. Do not miss any of the three meals. Also, get your body moving often. Just as the saying goes, “Running water is never stale.”
Nowadays, Traditional Chinese Medicine is becoming more and more popular around the world. A government report says that people in 183 countries and areas are now using TCM.

·Eat beet(甜菜) more
It sounds strange, but doctors say drinking 500ml of beetroot juice could lower blood pressure(血压) after just one hour. So drink up the pink juice.
·Think outside the box
In our life we probably spend 17 years on the sofa, and 7 years on watching TV. Next time you hear yourself say, “I haven’t got time to go to the gym”, don’t find this excuse but do something healthy instead.
·Hug your friend
Giving your friend a hug doesn’t just warm the heart; it can protect it too. A study found that hugging your friend for 20 seconds could let the blood pressure down and make you happy.
·Eat less salt
We eat around 9.5g of salt a day; but the government wants us to cut this to no more than 6g, as high levels of salt can increase your blood pressure.

Move around.
Though only about 1 in 4, 500 airplane passengers develop a blood clot（血块）, you should still make efforts to move around on the plane, just standing in the aisle or by taking a walk to the toilet. Have a layover（中途停留）? Instead of sitting, make sure to walk around the airport. Taking a road trip? Make plenty of stops to move around.
Prepare snacks smartly.
Because of low humidity on planes, many of us can find ourselves feeling thirstier than ever. Drink more water. Make sure when traveling on day trips to carry water with you at all times.
