On the land of Confucius, where nature and society are harmonious, this side of water and soil has nurtured the people of Xiayi, making them healthy and long-lived.
The emergence and formation of longevity in Xiayi has its profound historical and cultural background, harmonious natural and humanistic environment and coordinated economic and social foundation.
Xiayi is the ancestral home of Confucius, adjacent to Qufu, the hometown of Confucius, with profound Confucian culture. Confucius said that "the benevolent enjoys Leshan", "the benevolent does not worry", "the benevolent lives long" and "great virtue will lead his life". The benevolent mind is as peaceful as Mount Tai, as still as water, not moved by selfish desires, not confused by temptation; Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself; Carefree, fun is endless. With this kind of peace of mind, you can be indifferent to fame and fortune, suffer humiliation, sleep well and eat sweetly ... so as to reach the highest state of benevolence. The people of Xiayi have been loyal and honest since ancient times, and the idea of benevolence has been passed down from generation to generation, and long-lived old people have emerged constantly. According to the genealogy of Si surname, the ancestors of1-1(from the Southern Song Dynasty) were 86 years old on average, including 3 over 90 years old and 2 over 100 years old (104, 108, 65438+) 105-year-old Luo Youming, former director of Luo Youming Orthopedic Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, was born in Luolou Village, Caoji Township, Xiayi County. She has been engaged in orthopedics and traumatology of traditional Chinese medicine all her life and often treats central leaders. Because of her excellent medical skills and great fame, Premier Zhou Enlai once named her "Luo Youming". She often said, "I have saved many people in my life, and one good deed deserves another, and I am in good health". Xiazhuang Village, Luoji Township/KLOC-Wang Qi, 0/07 years old, has been a philanthropist all his life and regards helping others as his greatest happiness. Liu, 109 years old, a native of Northwest Zhuang Village, Luoji Township, is always ready to help others from an early rural midwife to a small businessman. "People who love will always love them" ... forgiveness and kindness are undoubtedly important factors for longevity.
In Xiayi, 80-year-olds can still play waist drums, and 90-year-olds can still ride bicycles normally. People aged 65,438+0,000 are blind and deaf, but they can still do some housework and farm work. This unique phenomenon of longevity has attracted worldwide attention. In May 2008, the leaders and experts of China Gerontology Society visited Xiayi County on the spot, and affirmed the longevity phenomenon of Xiayi. On1October 26th, 2008, 165438, Xiayi County became one of the eight "Longevity Homes of China" in China.
Although there are no big rivers flowing in Xiayi, there are many small rivers. There are 14 big rivers in the county, which cross the whole territory from west to east. In the areas where long-lived old people live, there are basically rivers flowing through them. According to the survey and sampling results of the Institute of Geographical Sciences and Resources, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the water in Xiayi is not simple. Except for being weakly alkaline, the average selenium content per liter of water is 0.68 micrograms, and the selenium content in other areas is generally only 0.2 micrograms.
Trace element selenium is recognized as a longevity element in the world. The blood selenium level in human body is positively correlated with life span. Experts took the blood of centenarians to measure the selenium content. The results show that the blood selenium level of centenarians is three times higher than that of normal people. Selenium is a strong antioxidant, its antioxidant capacity is 500 times that of vitamin E, which can effectively remove free radicals in human body, eliminate senile plaques, protect cells and cell membranes from damage, regulate substance and energy metabolism, improve the body's resistance to diseases, and then maintain good health and delay aging. In fact, the role of selenium is multifaceted, and selenium has a good preventive effect on the three major diseases that threaten our human health-cancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes. If the human body lacks selenium, it will lead to more than 40 diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, myocardial infarction and cataract.
Xia Yi's longevity can give us a lot of health enlightenment: life is like a poker game, and the cards in each hand represent the environment, family, personality, gender, lifestyle, genetics and so on. Some people get out early with a good hand, and some people laugh at the end with wisdom and luck. Although innate and external factors cannot be changed, human vitality and creativity can be turned into gold. At present, immortality may no longer be a fashionable ambition, but the connotation of life and the quality of life are the foundation of people's pursuit, so that limited life is full of infinite possibilities and infinite excitement.
