Investigation of centenarians
China Gerontology Society announces China's Top Ten Birthdays. The average life expectancy of the oldest old people in China is 10/9.2. Of these ten old people, seven are in excellent health, two can take care of themselves, and only 1 old people can't take care of themselves. Experts investigated the living habits of the elderly and studied their longevity secrets. They found that the secret of longevity is actually very simple, but many people can't do it. What is the secret?
The law of longevity: two "tubes" and two "releases"
One tube: shut up.
Often overeating, like to eat dry, hard and spicy food, has a lot to do with gastric cancer and esophageal cancer. Liking to eat high-salt food can lead to high blood pressure. Like to eat big fish and meat, midnight snack will lead to obesity and hyperlipidemia. Therefore, bad eating behavior is one of the main reasons for the high incidence of diseases in modern people, so the first measure to preserve health and promote longevity is to keep your mouth shut.
Two tubes: manage your own work and rest.
Regular work and rest is the only secret to keep healthy. Without a good and reasonable work and rest, there is no healthy life. Because our body operation and self-cultivation need to be fixed regularly, long-term chaotic work and rest will make people's endocrine disorder, organ operation will be unbalanced, and health and longevity are impossible to talk about.
One release: slow heart rate
The heart rate of long-lived elderly people is generally maintained at around 60 beats. Most people's heart rate is around 80, so slowing down the heart rate is one of the secrets of longevity. How to slow down the heart rate? First of all, we should go outdoors more and keep exercising. Proper exercise can slow down meditation. The second is to maintain a normal weight. Obesity can lead to a faster heart rate, as can smoking and excessive drinking. So drink less and don't smoke.
Second release: relax.
In Huangdi Neijing, there is a record that "the spirit is injured internally and the body will die". Our mental state will affect the blood circulation of the human body. Anger, depression and other negative emotions will lead to the formation of blood stasis in the body, leading to organ damage and decreased life expectancy. Therefore, it is the most important and necessary to relax and keep a good attitude. The biggest feature of long-lived old people is that they all have an optimistic attitude.
What are the characteristics of people who live long?
1, follow the fashion
A survey in the United States shows that many centenarians send e-mails, lose contact with friends and even date online. Researchers point out that the latest technology not only helps the elderly to stay active intellectually, but also helps to enhance their social skills.
2. Menopause begins after the age of 52.
Many studies show that the natural delay of menopause means an increase in life expectancy.
The content of vitamin D in blood is very high.
The content of vitamin D per milliliter of blood should be kept at least above 30 micrograms. Vitamin D can not only reduce osteoporosis, but also reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease and infectious diseases.
Tips to keep men healthy and live longer.
1, receive higher education
There are not many men who rarely receive higher education, but interestingly, 17% of these people will face the danger of death before the age of 85, but 62% of those who complete higher education still maintain physical and mental health at the age of 85.
2. Eat apples every day and eat less meat.
Men over 50 years old are more likely to get intestinal cancer than women. The British charity Association Against Colorectal Cancer suggests that 18g of cellulose should be consumed every day. 1 banana contains 1.8g cellulose, and 1 apple (with skin) contains 4g cellulose, which is the most convenient choice. Studies have shown that eating less meat can reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease and help maintain masculinity.
Step 3 brush your teeth backhand
Brushing your teeth frequently or holding a cup in an unused hand helps the brain to produce new memory cells, thus preventing Alzheimer's disease.
Step 4 drink more tea
"Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Tea tastes bitter and cold, which can best reduce fire. Fire is a disease, and it will be clear when it falls. " It can be seen how important it is to drink tea.
Tips to keep women healthy and live longer.
1, cheerful, indifferent and empty
Emotion affects life span and is an important factor in preventing diseases and prolonging life. Of course, the so-called bleak nothingness does not mean "purity, no desire, no action", but keeps people optimistic and should not suffer for personal fame and fortune.
It is necessary to achieve "six less and one more". That is, less anger, less depression, less worry, less sadness, less fear, less shock and more fun, but not anxious and unhappy. Moreover, we should treat birth, illness and death correctly, make diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible, and don't be in a hurry all day.
2. Live in peace and sunshine.
People spend more than half of their lives at home. The survey shows that most elderly people who live in beautiful, spacious and bright houses live a long life. Therefore, the residence of the elderly should be quiet, the surrounding environment is good, the noise is small (the noise in the living environment should not exceed 40 decibels), the sun is abundant, and it is ventilated and dry.
3, regular physical examination to prevent micro-duration.
The nervous system of the elderly is slow to respond, and the symptoms are often not obvious or atypical when they are sick. Therefore, regular physical examination for the elderly can find symptoms in time.
