听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

今天我们来聊聊养生这个话题。养生是什么意思呢？词典说，养生就是摄养身心以长寿。这本来来自于传统中医的概念，如今在中国的年轻人中也是个热词。这是为什么？因为现在城市里的年轻人有很多的娱乐和诱惑，许多人喜欢享受夜生活，吃夜宵，泡酒吧，撸串烧烤等等。中国城市里极大的物质丰富的夜生活，让人目不暇接。

奶茶、汽水，炸鸡，蛋糕。这些美食不仅让人长胖，还会带来很多的健康问题。这些都使很多二三十岁的年轻人的身体状态亮起了红灯。看着出了问题的体检报告，原来大部分问题，都是生活方式的问题。于是，传统中医开始悄悄进入年轻一代的视野。保温杯里泡上枸杞，冬天来点儿红糖姜枣茶，夏天来点儿菊花茶，掉头发吃黑芝麻丸……各种养生小技能让年轻朋友们纷纷效仿。

其实，养生是一个历史悠久的大话题，属于中国传统医学。中医讲究药食同源，很多食物对人身体是有类似药物的作用的。许多食材用来泡水、煮粥、煲汤，各种功效纷繁复杂，但是也非常有意思。比如现在是冬天，如果你感觉身体总是冷，可以多吃热性食物，比如羊肉、生姜和红枣。

好了，感谢你的收听，希望你喜欢。我们下次再见。
