The factors that affect human life span are nothing more than disease and aging, and the causes of disease and aging can be summarized as congenital factors and acquired factors.
Congenital factor
1. The strength of innate endowment is the decisive factor of human birth, aging, illness and death. The length of life depends on physical strength. Only when the five zang-organs are strong, the form and spirit are harmonious, the physique is strong, the blood vessels are unobstructed, and the viscera are coordinated can the health and longevity be achieved; On the other hand, physical weakness, imbalance between Yin and Yang, disharmony between Qi and blood, impairment of viscera function and illness lead to premature death. The strength of body shape depends on the innate endowment of parents. If you are born with a strong endowment, you will be strong and energetic and not suitable for aging; On the other hand, a weak natural endowment will make you look haggard, listless and accelerate aging.
Wan Quan, a doctor in the Ming Dynasty, wrote in Children's Play: "The weakness of children is due to the weakness of their parents' essence and blood. As the saying goes, it is inevitable that the father is strong and the mother is weak. The father is weak and the mother is strong, and there must be a weak man. "Congenital endowment deficiency often affects the evolution, prognosis and longevity of acquired diseases.
2. Congenital endowment and congenital endowment deficiency, on the one hand, are manifested in various genetic diseases, such as hemophilia, albinism, color blindness and other genetic-related diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc. On the other hand, birth defects such as congenital heart disease, cleft palate, congenital torticollis's disease and negative spina bifida are caused by drugs, radiation and other adverse factors.
3. Congenital endowments are clear. People with pure innate endowments are the true essence of qi and blood, without impurities, and are harmonious and healthy. Those with impure innate endowment are turbid in light, poisonous in heavy, and discordant in constitution. The illness of impure gifts is caused by parents. That is, when men and women have intercourse, turbid qi stays in their daughters' bodies, which is latent and does not appear in their bodies. Disharmony between qi and blood is easy to trigger, such as hepatitis, syphilis and AIDS.
(2) Acquired factors
"Su Wen? The ancient naive theory clearly pointed out that the reason why people can't make the best use of their talents is that they "take wine as the pulp, are unscrupulous, get drunk at home, exhaust their essence, disperse their reasons, satisfy their desires, resist God from time to time, speed up their hearts, go against their lives, and live without boundaries, so they fail at half a hundred." "Therefore, the acquired factors that affect human life span mainly include improper diet, fatigue, lewdness, reckless work, illness and injury.
1, improper diet includes abnormal hunger, unclean diet and partial eclipse. Hunger and long-term insufficient food intake will lead to malnutrition, decreased resistance and easy to cause diseases. Overweight, overeating, or overeating make it difficult for the spleen and stomach to digest and transport and cause disease. Over time, it can accumulate dampness, turn heat into phlegm and become a disease. Such as diabetes, obesity, hemorrhoids and heart pulse obstruction. Long-term partial eclipse will lead to functional damage of corresponding organs and tissues. For example, Neijing said: "Yin is born of five flavors of yin, and five senses of yin hurt five flavors. Therefore, the taste is too sour, the liver qi produces fluid and the temper is unique; The taste is too salty, the bones are exhausted, the muscles are short and the heart is depressed; The taste is too sweet, the heart is full of asthma, the color is black, and the kidney is unbalanced; Because it is too bitter, the temper is not strong, and the stomach is strong; The taste is too pungent, the muscles and veins are unreasonable, and the spirit is awkward. " For another example, eating ointment for a long time will not only damage the spleen and stomach, but also easily lead to endogenous phlegm (wet) heat, causing ulcers, obesity and dizziness. Stroke, thirst, etc. (To be continued)
