It is common knowledge of people all over the world that regular reading can prolong life. Confucius, the most holy teacher, had a rough life and was displaced from place to place. He finally lived to be 73 years old and loved reading, which obviously benefited him a lot. Lu You, a patriotic poet, often takes pleasure in reading. His personal experience is that "a book is a good doctor when it is sick". Shen Fu in Qing Dynasty said: "The human mind is full of vitality, and it should not be overworked or relaxed, but it can be cultivated through reading. 」
A large number of facts in modern scientific research also prove that reading can really prolong life. Japanese longevity experts believe that philosophers are the oldest, followed by artists and scientists. However, when American health care scientists study people's life span, they find that people with doctoral degrees live three years longer than those with secondary education. Among the 400 European and American celebrities since the 20th century, the average life expectancy of scholars ranks first, with an average life expectancy of 79 years. There is a scholar in our country who is over 100 years old, but he still insists on reading and writing every day. He believes that "reading seems to be better than nourishing nutrition for health."
Reading can nourish the heart.
The heart is the king of the human body, and keeping healthy is very important to nourish the heart. If you want to read, you must be calm first. Scholars have this experience. Reading a good book is like talking with a close friend. I feel so happy that all my troubles have been forgotten. Yu Yue, a master of Confucian classics in the late Qing Dynasty, stayed away from officialdom in his later years and devoted himself to reading. He once wrote a couplet: "After studying for ten years, sweeping the floor and burning incense is nothing." Reading and nourishing his heart enabled him to live to 86 years old. At the same time, it is beneficial to open books. Books are a world. Wandering around can broaden your horizons, increase your knowledge, nourish your soul, enrich your life and make your life happy. As for the book's health and longevity experience, daily health care methods and common sense of disease prevention and health preservation, it is of great benefit.
Reading can beautify your face.
Everyone wants youth to stay, and everyone wants beauty to stay. At present, the art of beauty can be described as varied, including feeding, taking medicine, exercising and smearing. In fact, reading can enhance your beauty. Tolstoy said: "People are cute not because they are beautiful, but because they are cute. A person who is diligent in reading and reading newspapers, thinking and practicing, usually, he will break away from narrowness and superficiality, thus becoming rich in connotation, broad-minded and broad-minded.
He will love life, full of interest, not afraid of difficulties, optimistic and enterprising. "Face" is born of "heart", and the spiritual beauty accumulated by diligent reading and good reading is naturally reflected in people's face, body and manners, from which wisdom, elegance, tolerance and self-confidence are born. Schopenhauer said: "Advanced spiritual culture often leads us to another situation gradually, and we no longer rely on others for fun. This book has its own endless fun. " If you are happy and forget your troubles, can you not raise your face?
Reading can cure diseases.
The ancients thought that books were a special kind of medicine. Liu Xiang, a writer in the Western Han Dynasty, once said: "Books are still medicine, and good reading can cure fools. He compared reading to a medicine. Good reading can eliminate ignorance and make people wise. In fact, reading is not only a medicine, but also a good medicine, which can relieve depression, vent emotions, adjust people's psychological state, promote mental health, and even play a role in treating diseases. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao had a stubborn head wind disease. When he read Chen Lin's The Call of the Insurgents, he was "sweating like rain" and then returned to normal. There are countless Chinese and foreign celebrities who spend their whole lives with books and use them to get rid of diseases and strengthen their health. Now some countries set up special libraries in hospitals and advocate "book disease therapy", which is the reason.
I am poetic and I often study for my health. Open your book! In my opinion, reading is not only an elegant way of leisure, but also a noble state of existence and a cheap and good way of keeping in good health. Under the guidance of classics and masters, let us secular people study happily and live poetically, and then our life will present a beautiful and fresh scenery forever.
