People who don't smoke or drink all their lives may not live long. The reason why you live a long life is not only because you don't smoke or drink, but also because you need to live a long life: First, you have a kind heart, a sunny mind and no worries. Second, pay attention to a balanced diet and balanced nutrition. Three, proper exercise, reasonable arrangement of study, work, rest, entertainment and other time. Fourth, deal with interpersonal relationships and be kind to others, especially family harmony. Five, regular physical examination, timely medical treatment, to ensure good health, etc. ...
I don't think smoking and drinking are directly related to people's life span.
I don't know if you have seen such a report recently. Lin Haifeng, an expert on longevity, died at the age of 5 1 year. He used to be a nutrition expert of China Longevity Expert Group and a director of China Health Science and Technology Association. He had many health preserving theories and attached great importance to health preserving, but it was a pity that he died young.
The patriotic general Zhang Xueliang, whom we are all familiar with, lived to 10 1 year. As we all know, in the first half of his military career, he ate, drank, gambled and even smoked, and was imprisoned for 35 years in the second half. Asked why he can live a long life, he said, I don't pretend anything in my heart, and everyone laughs.
As we all know, Deng Gong, our mentor of reform and opening up, was an officer for half his life. We all know what happened during the Cultural Revolution. However, the old man lived to be 93 years old, and he never stopped smoking. Asked about the reasons for his good health, he said that he should keep an optimistic attitude regardless of prosperity and adversity.
There are many examples of such longevity around us, including their relatives who have the habit of smoking and drinking.
In the view of traditional health care, people who are cheerful, cheerful, confident and optimistic have a peaceful body, smooth operation of qi and blood, and coordinated operation of internal organs, which is beneficial to health. Interestingly, some studies have found that most long-lived elderly people live happily and have harmonious families, which has nothing to do with smoking and drinking.
Of course not. Although alcohol and tobacco are harmful to health, they are not an absolute factor for longevity.
Tell a story, most of you may have heard it. Going to the hospital, the doctor asked, do you have any bad habits in your life? The patient said, nothing, no smoking, no drinking, no girlfriend, no love to associate with lesbians. The doctor said directly, what are you doing alive? Of course, jokes are jokes. In fact, alcohol and tobacco are harmful to the body, and you can live a long life without leaving your body.
Therefore, it is really psychological to want to live a long life. You should have a good attitude, then control alcohol and tobacco, and have a good attitude while ensuring your health. If there were no diseases and disasters, I dare not say that I would live to 100, but 80 and 90 should be fine.
Not necessarily. Some people don't smoke all their lives. Secondhand smoke can also lead to lung cancer and die young. Some people will get liver cancer even if they don't drink, because of bad eating habits. And some people smoke and drink, but live long, indicating that there is no absolute relationship between longevity and smoking and drinking.
Longevity is what everyone yearns for. There are several reasons for longevity.
1, genetic gene, longevity constitution makes longevity.
2, a good attitude. "Laugh for ten years", the heart is wide and natural, the heart is naturally happy, and happiness is naturally long-lived.
3, good at exercise, running, traveling, regular exercise can cultivate sentiment, release mood, release pressure, which is very beneficial to the body.
4, good living habits, going to bed early and getting up early, not staying up late, not overeating, keeping in good health scientifically, not overworking, paying attention to moderation in sexual intercourse, loving gardening, reading and drinking tea, these good habits contribute to longevity.
5, environmental factors, living in mountainous areas with fresh air, or grasslands with less pollution, can prolong life. The working environment is comfortable, pollution-free, and less stressful, which contributes to health and natural longevity.
6. Good personality can lead to a long life. Broad-minded, natural and peaceful, not impatient, natural and smooth, pessimistic about life, happy and happy, natural and long life.
Therefore, longevity has little to do with smoking and drinking, and the key is closely related to the above factors.
Qin Hanzhang, a wine master, died at the age of 1 12, Zhang Tianfu, a tea master, died at the age of 108, and Mei Mosheng, a health care master, died at the age of 59! Someone will ask questions. Doctors have been urging people to quit smoking and drinking, but some long-term smokers live to be over 90 years old, while some non-smokers and non-drinkers may die in middle age.
Many authoritative experts and research institutions are saying that alcohol and tobacco are harmful. Can a person who doesn't smoke or drink really live longer than a person who smokes or drinks?
Zhejiang Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine conducted a field survey of 255 centenarians in Zhejiang Province for more than four years, and then published the data in the survey of longevity factors of centenarians in Zhejiang Province. According to the report, most centenarians have very healthy living habits, of which 83% don't smoke and 73% don't smoke or drink.
This data shows that there is a great correlation between not smoking or drinking and longevity. People who don't smoke and drink live longer than those who smoke and drink.
At this time, many people will question, don't these centenarians smoke and drink Why can they live long? If you don't smoke or drink for a longer time, isn't it too one-sided?
Why do some people smoke and drink longer?
First, the gene is very strong
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles once wrote in the Journal of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences &; A study published in Medical Science analyzed and compared the genomes of 90 people who smoked for a long time but were over 80 years old and 730 people who also smoked but lived less than 70 years old.
The results show that smokers with long life have stronger ability to repair cell damage. Simply put, these long-lived smokers are their innate advantages and can be said to be "chosen children".
We can't judge whether we have such a powerful gene, so it's better not to smoke or drink! After all, everyone's genes are different, and few people have strong genes.
Second, the reason for longevity is not single.
Longevity will be affected by many factors, including environment, diet, climate, personal habits, medical care and so on. Including personal psychological factors.
These factors will affect life expectancy, and it is likely that smokers live longer by accident. Don't generalize, take a case as an example to draw conclusions. Smoking and drinking can make people live longer, which is very unscientific.
Third, the deviation of survivors.
According to the statistics of WHO, one third of smokers die from smoking-related diseases. The average life expectancy of smokers will be shorter than that of non-smokers 10 years.
Drinking also shortens life expectancy. A survey of nearly 600,000 people by The Lancet magazine found that the more people drink, the shorter their life expectancy.
People who drink 10 cups a week will lose 1~2 years on average; Drinking 18 cups a week will reduce life expectancy by 4-5 years on average, and this value will increase with the increase of drinking.
The longevity people we see smoking and drinking are only a small number of "survivors". Because of smoking and drinking, few people pay attention to the data of people who died early, which becomes silent data, giving people the illusion of "survivor bias".
To sum up: smoking and drinking will make people live longer, which is nonsense. If long-term heavy smoking is more likely to lead to health damage, some people think that moderate drinking will not increase the risk of illness, but also help promote blood circulation, which is also without scientific basis. According to related research, the human body's tolerance to alcohol is 0.
How can people who smoke and drink for a long time keep healthy if they can't give up immediately?
The first thing: "eat" healthy food
As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people. Through diet, it can help to maintain lung health, especially for long-term smokers, ensure adequate intake of white food every day, and help to nourish the lungs.
White radish, slightly spicy, can clear away heat and phlegm, and relieve cough; Lily can moisten the lungs and relieve cough and enhance human immunity; Sydney, sweet juice, moistening lung and promoting fluid production, relieving cough and resolving phlegm.
People who love drinking for a long time should also pay attention to maintaining their liver, eat more green leafy vegetables in their lives and ensure adequate cellulose intake, which will help accelerate alcohol metabolism and maintain the stability of the internal environment.
The second thing: "drink" plant tea
Smokers want to moisten their lungs, so it is very important to ensure the intake of tea. They can moisten the lungs and detoxify, and small plants can soak in water instead of tea, which can moisten the lungs and promote the discharge of turbid gas in the lungs.
Dandelion, platycodon grandiflorum, etc. Are all good choices. Long-term smoking can lead to throat discomfort and even frequent coughing. At this time, we must ensure adequate drinking water.
People should also drink more boiled water after drinking, because boiled water is more helpful to accelerate the metabolism of the body, and urine excretion can also make alcohol metabolize out of the body as soon as possible, reducing the damage to various organs.
The third thing: "laughter" is everything.
Emotion can affect lung health. Long-term smoking and drinking can easily lead to health damage. At this time, we must maintain a positive and optimistic attitude.
Laughing often can moisten the lungs and contribute to lung health. Laughter can also dilate the lungs, dredge the respiratory tract and make breathing smoother.
Long-term drinking can easily lead to abnormal liver function. If you are depressed, it will also lead to liver cell damage and increase the risk of liver disease. I suggest you keep a good attitude and have a certain maintenance effect on lung and liver.
The fourth thing: "move" a leg.
Insist on exercise, can enhance lung capacity, is conducive to lung health. Long-term smokers are more likely to cause lung injury. Keep walking fast every day, effectively enhance lung breathing ability and strengthen lung function.
In the process of brisk walking, people's breathing frequency will accelerate. Breathing through the lungs can improve lung function, exercise lung strength and effectively prevent lung diseases.
Taking a proper walk every day is not only beneficial to the health of the liver, but also helpful to the sufficiency of blood in the liver, increase the blood oxygen content in the body and make the body healthier and healthier. Of course, if you want to live a long and healthy life, I hope you can quit smoking and drinking soon.
Think about health and longevity. I hope everyone can stay away from alcohol and tobacco and form good habits every day. Longevity is not determined by one aspect, but by diet, mentality, physique, sleep, nutritional supplements and so on. It is still necessary to scientifically ingest sufficient nutrition, maintain good living habits, and gradually develop a long-lived physique.
It's hard to say that there are so many people who go home [shed tears] and people who have died before they come to this world [beat the fetus]. In short, the epidemic situation is current, so just cherish it. To be alive is happiness [an epiphany] [wit] [prayer] [refueling] [hitting the face] [laughter]
Not necessarily, smoking and drinking are really bad for your health, but smoking and drinking are not the only ones.
My mother doesn't smoke either, but this year's physical examination found that she had large ground glass nodules in her lungs. Several hospitals suspected cancer, and then the operation was early cancer.
Old people in small counties generally have no awareness of regular physical examination. Her friend has a physical examination card from someone else, so you can transfer it to her if you don't need it. Fortunately, this is the physical examination card, and we have also consulted. Generally early lung cancer is asymptomatic. I went home to see her a week before the physical examination, and I didn't even cough or gasp. If you really wait until something goes wrong with your body, it's basically too late.
I also asked the doctor, how can you get lung cancer if you don't smoke? Doctors say that many lung cancer patients don't smoke now, but they are still exposed to second-hand smoke. Now the air pollution is serious, we always have to breathe, and it is also influential to inhale smog when breathing.
Although these can't be completely eliminated, we should try to avoid them and wear masks when going out.
There is no scientific basis, but the surrounding environment is crowded and there are many acquaintances. If you smoke, your respiratory system will definitely deteriorate. Whether you have cancer or not, the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by drinking will generally increase. It is estimated that nine out of ten stroke patients are men, and basically all have some alcohol.
