Eight unexpected secrets to longevity

15% of an individual's health and life expectancy is determined by genetics, 10% by social factors, 8% by medical conditions, 7% by climate impact, and 60% by oneself.

1. When it comes to health issues, you are more effective than God.

The professor said that the World Health Organization stipulates that 15% of an individual's health and life expectancy is determined by genetics, 10% by social factors, 8% by medical conditions, 7% by climate impacts, and 60% by oneself. On this issue, you are more effective than God.

Do you know? When eating, you must eat well in the morning, eat enough at noon, and eat less at night. People nowadays are the opposite. They are careless in the morning, just get by at noon, and eat and drink excessively at night. This is the root of all diseases. The morning meal is equivalent to taking a tonic. It is the most important meal. You must eat a nutritious breakfast. A nutritious breakfast must include several things: staple food, soy milk, cereal and apples. The staple food must include vegetables and fruits.

2. The worst habit in the world is smoking. Among the five worst habits in the world, the number one bad habit is smoking.

People who smoke throughout their lives will live 20 to 25 years less, and each cigarette they smoke will shorten their life by 11 minutes. Why am I younger and healthier? It’s because I have never smoked in my life. If anyone smokes in front of me, I’m sorry, please go outside to smoke. You can commit suicide, but you can’t kill people. Smoking as soon as you get up in the morning is especially harmful. For smokers, tracheitis, emphysema, cor pulmonale, and finally lung cancer are the three stages of death.

3. Overnutrition can also cause poisoning.

Remember, there are rules for eating in a day: one, two, three, four. A plate of vegetables every day, which must be 8 taels to 1 jin; two fruits; three spoons of cooking oil every day, no more than 25 grams; four taels of rice or four steamed buns; plus sufficient plant protein. Now let’s talk about eight glasses of water. You must drink eight glasses of water every day. Because water is human life. Nowadays, many people don’t know how to drink water and only drink when they are thirsty. Wrong, you must drink when you have time, not when you are thirsty. Are eight cups of tea okay? If not, how about eight cups of coffee? Drinks, coffee, and beer cannot replace water. If you want to drink tea, drink light tea, not strong tea. Always remember that water is human life.

4. People don’t die from old age or illness, but from anger.

How can people not get angry? Humans are emotional animals, with joy, anger, sorrow, worry, fear and surprise. When you are happy, you laugh; when you are unhappy, you cry; when you are angry, you even curse. This is a manifestation of a person's rich emotions. If a person has only one emotion, he is unhealthy. A person has rich emotions, and they can behave as they please, but you must remember: first, don't overdo it; second, if you overdo it, don't do it for too long, and you must adjust quickly; this is what is healthy.

The "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" has long made it very clear: "Anger hurts the liver, joy hurts the heart, worry hurts the lungs, thinking hurts the spleen, fear hurts the kidneys, and all diseases are caused by qi." This is a very perfect statement. Many people say, to be honest, that they didn’t die of old age or illness, but of anger. They get angry to death because they can’t become an official; they get angry to death because they can’t be promoted to professor; they get angry to death because they can’t make money; many elderly people get angry to death over very small things. I have many examples here. So I say that people "cannot help but be angry, but they must know how to be angry; they must not be prisoners of their emotions, but must be the masters of their emotions; they must control their emotions, not let their emotions control them."

5. Walking is a very good form of exercise.

Everything has a limit. Eating has a limit, sleeping has a limit, and exercising has a limit. Not exercising is not good, and excessive exercise can also reduce immune function. Exercise for half an hour to an hour every day. The exercise can be the simplest way, such as walking for half an hour. Just walking is the simplest, most economical and most effective way.

Young people should walk fast, and gradually increase the speed. The speed should reach 130 steps per minute and the heart rate should reach 120 beats per minute to achieve the purpose of exercising the heart. Reaching 130 steps and 120 heart beats is certainly not something that can be accomplished all at once. It requires a gradual adaptation process. If you persist in this way for half a year, your cardiopulmonary function can be greatly improved, by 30% to 50%.

One must start from a young age and maintain your standard weight. I've had this body shape for 30 years, a military body shape. Once you are fat, it is not easy to lose weight. Actually, it is not difficult. What is the key? Control your mouth and move your legs more. People "die because of their mouths and are lazy because of their legs".

6. Getting drunk once on liquor is equivalent to getting acute hepatitis.

The World Health Organization has proposed six most unhealthy lifestyles: the first is smoking, and the second is alcoholism and excessive drinking. Drinking in small amounts has benefits, such as drinking one or two ounces of liquor every day, two ounces of wine, especially red wine, and half a catty to a catty of beer. Excessive intake will harm the body, liver, brain, heart, and various organs.

Getting drunk once on liquor is equivalent to getting acute hepatitis. Everyone remember, drinking alcohol not only damages the liver. Why do people who drink a lot have poor memory and decreased cognitive ability? Because a large number of brain cells die. One or two glasses of liquor a day is a safe amount.

7. If the family is not harmonious, people will get sick.

Some experts believe that 70% of human diseases come from the family, and 50% of human cancers come from the family. Do you think family is important or not? This shows the importance of family. At home, you must not have "small quarrels every day and big quarrels every three or six months", and you must not let the family become stagnant, without quarrels or talking, for half a month at a time. That would be suffocating.

I once saw a report saying that divorced and widowed people have shorter life spans, and there is scientific basis for this. Loneliness is more terrible than poverty. Loving couples live longer, and those who are still alive live longer. Lonely couples are more likely to have problems and die young. This is a universal rule. But how to maintain family harmony is a science.

8. Use your brain when eating to stay healthy.

To live a healthy life every day, you need to do seven things: first, you must eat three good meals; second, you must sleep for eight hours; third, you must exercise for half an hour every day; fourth, you must laugh for 30 minutes every day to keep your body and mind healthy; fifth, very special, you must have a bowel movement every day. People only care about one end and ignore the other. It is all natural. If you can't pull it out, you can't pull it hard. Sixth, you must have a good relationship with your lover and say 3 sentences to your lover every day that he (she) likes to hear.

If you can't have a good relationship with your wife, you won't be able to accomplish anything. Of course, women also need to have a good relationship with their husbands; seventh, do not smoke, do not drink, and walk in unison every day. Health starts from every day. If you are healthy every day, you will be healthy for your whole life. You must remember what I said: "Being able to eat and drink is not healthy. Only by knowing how to eat and drink can you be healthy. Eating and drinking indiscriminately will bring disaster."

“Eat with your stomach to get enough food and clothing, eat with your mouth to enjoy life, and eat with your brain to stay healthy.” We should achieve: "breakfast of the emperor, lunch of the minister, and dinner of the beggar".
