My sister told me that my grandparents spend a lot of money on health products every month. In newspapers, TV and leaflets, they all buy anything that says that they can "live a long and healthy life over the South Mountain".
I smiled and said to my sister, "The reason why grandparents are like this must be that they are very satisfied with their present life. So I want to live longer. "
Health care for the elderly, in order to live longer. Why do young people full of vigor and youthful vitality love "health preservation" so much?
We are a generation that grew up on the Internet. With the rapid development of science and technology and the explosive impact of information, we have a brain that can receive and update at any time. Compared with the previous generation who grew up farming, our brains are constantly upgrading, but our bodies have been deteriorating.
Energetic young people seem to have become machines that can work 24 hours a day, will not be tired and have no feelings, sitting in a chair, staring at the computer screen, looking at the mobile phone screen, and constantly outputting. It has become our daily routine to keep a fixed sitting posture and end the day's work. And the most exercise we do every day is blinking.
According to unscientific statistics, when people blink more than ten times a minute, they enter the fatigue period, that is, lack of sleep. When staying up late and working overtime becomes our late-night carnival, when the overtime mode of "no rest on Saturday and no rest on Sunday" is strongly advocated, we have to keep spinning like a top.
At the same time, "speed" has become the key word of the times. In the streets and lanes, the flexible takeaway brother and the merchants who make assembly line food replace the time-consuming home cooking, and fill the hungry stomach of dense office buildings with three meals a day. All food can be eaten at any time, eliminating the need to wait.
Love your body.
Staying up late, working overtime and taking out food are three essential sets in our life. We often laugh at ourselves as "social animals" and like to take "mourning" as our attitude towards life, because our life is pushed forward passively by the great changes and floods of the times all the time, just like the machine chased by the crushed machine, which seems to be shattered if it is a little slack.
We, very unhappy, anxious and depressed, can't remember the feeling of happiness, and have forgotten the last time we laughed. Clearly grow into a person's appearance, but often feel that their lives are not like people. In the movie "blade runner", we discussed "human" and "human cloning", and the whole film runs through the speculation of human and human value. Human beings reflect on the definition and significance of life through "human cloning".
Whenever I shuttle through the crowded morning and evening rush hour subway, I look at the office workers who come and go like myself, with the same expressionless face and the same hurry. There is an illusion that our life has been copied on a large scale. Unfortunately, we have unconsciously become copied people and gradually lost the joys and sorrows of being a real person.
In order to resist the anxiety and depression caused by this life like an assembly line product, my friend started her "health, exercise and fitness". As a weak girl who can lie, sit and stand, go out and take a taxi, and rely on the sofa at home, M started her exercise and fitness because one day she was diagnosed with moderate depression. After months of shallow sleep and insomnia, depression became unbearable.
At the doctor's suggestion, M walked into the gym. She hasn't had a dynamic circle of friends for half a year, and she has a new trend a while ago. She was wearing sportswear and holding a box of half-broken eggs, which read: "Great, there are two left, and breakfast will be available tomorrow."
Have you found that "keeping in good health" makes people optimistic and faces the difficulties of life with a hippie smile?
I believe that your circle of friends is also a "healthy person" like M, punching cards every day, rain or shine, full of positive energy. In order to cooperate with sports and fitness, M gave up the days of selling for a living and started the advanced stage of "health preservation": going to the kitchen. From the beginning of cooking a simple diet to becoming familiar with cooking and frying techniques, she created a healthy diet for herself seven days a week and all the year round.
In the past, she was trapped on the sofa on weekends, hungry and sleepy. Since leaving the kitchen, her weekend has become a brisk tune, starting with the noisy shouting in the vegetable market, reaching its climax in the small fire of gas and ending with the sound of pots and pans. M said, I didn't expect the sunset glow in her kitchen to be so beautiful.
Once, she was washing a stainless steel spoon, and the afterglow of the sunset just came, and a beautiful rainbow appeared on the white table. M photographed this moment with her mobile phone, and she described it as "finely divided happiness".
Compared with take-away, cooking and learning to cook soup by yourself is particularly time-consuming. But from the moment I walked into the kitchen, time seemed to be loaded with a reducer and suddenly slowed down. When the water boils, the meat is cooked and the soup is thick. Believe me, what you are pursuing at this moment is no longer the convenience brought by not waiting, but the taste bud stimulation that you are completely immersed in the long wait.
Time-consuming becomes not annoying, and waiting becomes sweet.
I tried for a week, refused to take delivery and cooked for myself. The experience is: I suddenly understood the meaning of the last song "Song of Xie Fan" in Teacher Jin Shijie's "Actor Experimental Classroom".
"The growth period of cauliflower is 65 days, carrots are 80 days, tomatoes need 90 days, soybeans need 4 months, guava needs at least one year to grow into a tree, the time for a grain of rice to grow from the ear of rice, the time for a person to make tofu and kimchi, the time for soy sauce and vinegar, and the time for cooking a meal. How long does it take to eat a meal, so that it can bear infinite gratitude?
In this era of "speed is king", we are all in the fear of being left behind. We haven't stopped to wait for a pot of delicious Tang Fang for a long time, and we haven't sat down to have a good dinner, not just to fill our stomachs. One week, I was very relaxed because I went to the kitchen.
It turns out that life is not a number, but a fireworks. People are not machines, but emotions. This is the inspiration from the kitchen, and also the feeling of "keeping in good health". It makes me sensitive and makes me no longer numb to tiny happiness.
Young people love "keeping in good health". They are practicing it in their own way, not because they are afraid of dying young and life is short, but because they want to become a real person again. The fate of the times makes young people have no time to stop and listen to a spring rain.
It seems that we have been standing on a running treadmill since we were born. In order not to fall down, we can only go faster and faster, so fast that we ignore the limits of our feelings, emotions and physical strength.
"Health" takes us back to the track of normal life, bid farewell to the fate of the times and feel the joy of being born as a human being. This is a beginning, a beginning to slow down and feel life; It is also an awakening, an awakening to stop and examine yourself.
"Keeping in good health" can bring back the love for life and the awe for the four seasons. More importantly, let people understand that the value of life is not the value of creation, but the feeling.
