The secret of longevity of Bama villagers

Bama Village in Guangdong is a famous longevity village in my country, where centenarians are not rare at all, and people in their eighties and nineties can be seen everywhere. So how do the Bama people achieve longevity? Do you know what the secret to the longevity of the Bama villagers is? Let the editor of the Popular Health Network take you to discover the secret to the longevity of the Bama people.

Peace of mind

Among the many centenarians we have met, almost all of them are people with a calm mind and a positive and optimistic attitude. No matter whether the family conditions are good or bad, and no matter whether the living standards are low or high, they can always maintain an open-minded and optimistic attitude.

The person who impressed me the most was a centenarian named Huang Mamamei. When we visited her home, we saw that her home was simply furnished, there were no decent electrical appliances in the house, and her material living standard was very average. However, the old lady Huang Mamamei standing in front of us always had a smile on her face, and her satisfaction with life was beyond words. In the process of communicating with her, we can feel that her satisfaction comes completely from the heart. In her own words, she doesn't have any major problems with food and drink now, and she has gone through all the ups and downs she has to go through, so she is indifferent to everything and has let it go.

Maintain proper physical labor

Almost every centenarian we visited has not completely quit physical labor. I once met a 90-year-old man in a village. Although his face was covered with age spots, he still carried a large bucket of water to water the vegetables in the fields. He was still very agile and had good physical strength.

According to a local person who studies the mystery of the Bama people's longevity, these Bama elders have been working all their lives. Although it is hard work, their bodies are well exercised and their body functions do not decline rapidly with age. This is one of the important reasons for their longevity. In fact, doesn’t this just prove the truth that “life lies in movement”? Therefore, today’s city dwellers exercise too little and work even less. If they want to live a long life, they should pay attention to this aspect.

Family harmony

It is not difficult to understand that family harmony is also closely related to longevity. Only when the family is harmonious will there be no anger. Anger not only makes you sad, but also hurts your body. As the saying goes, all diseases are caused by anger. If there are quarrels at home every day and there is no peace, as an elderly person, it will not only be difficult to maintain a calm and peaceful heart, but also the depressed and dull mood will lead to the occurrence of diseases. Among the centenarians in Bama that we have met, their families are all harmonious and happy, the couples are very loving, the younger generations are very filial, and the elders are very considerate of the younger generations. Everyone respects and loves each other and lives an ordinary but happy life.

After reading the above introduction, you know the secret of Bama people's longevity. In addition to the unique natural environment, local water and soil and other factors, there are three other factors that cannot be ignored. Although we cannot have the natural environment that the Bama people have, we can definitely achieve the other factors. We should learn more about the health-preserving methods of the people of Bama, the hometown of longevity.
