Among the interviewees, the adults who have the most sense of humor in the top14 have a higher survival rate of 35% than those who are in the bottom14. Swebeck focuses on cancer patients. The results show that among the 20 15 respondents who were diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of the study, the death probability of people with a strong sense of humor is about 70% lower than that of people without a sense of humor.
Why is this happening? Experts explain that people with a sense of humor tend to be more optimistic and laugh more in a certain period of time. Laughter is a mental exercise, and 3 minutes of laughter can replace 15 minutes of gymnastics. Laughter can make people's breathing exercise deepen, their lungs expand, and they can get rid of the old and absorb the new; It can reduce the volume of human stomach, increase the tension and position of stomach wall, increase the secretion of digestive juice and enhance the digestive function; It can make people's heart beat faster, blood flow faster, blood supply to face and eyeball sufficient, and make people's cheeks rosy, eyes bright and radiant. Laughter is also a natural sedative. Laughter can stimulate the brain to produce an exciting hormone. On the one hand, it can promote the body's ability to resist diseases, on the other hand, it can stimulate the body to secrete a substance called "endorphin", which is a natural sedative for the human body. It can relieve people's nervousness, restore their spirits and eliminate fatigue.
Therefore, humor is an ideal health preserving method, which plays an irreplaceable role in maintaining harmony between Yin and Yang, improving physical and mental health and prolonging life.
The description of humorous health preservation can also be seen from ancient medical books. Ancient health experts once pointed out: "God is strong and longevity is long." Traditional Chinese medicine also has the saying that "medicine tonic is not as good as food tonic, food tonic is not as good as severe illness, and severe illness is not as good as mental care" and "health preservation must first nourish the mind". The so-called spiritual cultivation mainly refers to paying attention to mental health. We should be quiet and harmonious, calm and harmonious, open-minded, calm and gentle, never complain about others, and be impatient and irritable. In addition, the Qing dynasty famous doctor Shi Tianji's "Song of Eliminating Diseases" also revealed the great benefits of keeping a happy mood to health:
People may be born with weak qi and blood, and they will not be happy when they are sick.
If you are sick, you should be happy. If you are happy, you will drive the disease away.
Heart disease will also take heart medicine, and the heart will be unhappy and empty.
Sing my happy song, it's a panacea for life.
Numerous examples from ancient times to the present show that it is rare for narrow-minded and haggle over every ounce people to live to seventy years old, while open-minded and humorous people often live long. This is enough to show that humor that can make people laugh is really a good way to keep fit.
But at the same time, the health care home earnestly warned: "I like being sad, being angry hurts the liver, thinking hurts the spleen, being sad hurts the lungs, and being afraid of hurting the kidneys." From the perspective of health care, people should be good at following the old adage, control their emotions, cultivate their temperament through Xiu De, be less sad, angry and fearful, be humorous but not ecstatic, and achieve the purpose of health care to the maximum extent.
