97-year-old people are optimistic and cheerful and can live a long life.
Positive attitude: I won't take anything to heart. I don't put pressure on myself. Lu Guangshen, an 84-year-old master of traditional Chinese medicine, has black hair. Judging from his appearance, he is about 50 years old. He summed up his secret of keeping in good health and said, "I am a heartless person who takes nothing to heart." Lu Lao said with a smile that he never won the first place in the exam when he was studying, but he always won the first place in handing in his thesis because he didn't want to put so much pressure on himself. He said: "When you have a positive mental state, your immune function will be improved." The oldest 107-year-old man in Zhabei District of Shanghai is optimistic and cheerful. The old man has a bad ear and can't hear others, but when he sees the other person talking, he will definitely nod happily. Bao's daughter revealed that the old man didn't "worry overnight". When he encountered troubles, he always dissipated when he slept. Optimistic, positive, willing to take responsibility, big or small, not picky. There are nearly 40,000 centenarians in China, and the annual growth rate is 2,500, with the highest proportion in Hainan, Guangxi and Xinjiang. The World Health Organization has formulated ten standards to measure a person's health, one of which is: optimistic, positive, willing to take responsibility, regardless of size, not picky. According to a survey conducted by the Gerontology Society of China, genetic factors account for 15%, social factors account for 10%, improvement of medical conditions accounts for 8%, climatic conditions account for 7%, and the remaining 60% depends on the elderly themselves. Among them, the first secret is mentality. Don't worry, don't get angry and don't use a sphygmomanometer. "For modern people, troubles are imaginary, anger is comparative, urgency is made, and diseases are eaten." Professor Hong Zhaoguang, the chief health education expert in China, told the reporter that he knew a 94-year-old man with golden hair and vigorous steps, who seemed to be in his early 60s. Asked about the secret of longevity, what supplements to take and what exercise to do, he smiled and said, "I only have two words, which are' laughing and laughing, heartless'." "heartless" means open-minded and confused about small things. "Talking and laughing" refers to being optimistic and cheerful and not hiding anything. There is a saying in the west that "don't worry, don't get angry, don't use a sphygmomanometer". It can be seen that being narrow-minded and angry is a major psychological obstacle to longevity. Therefore, be a little confused, be smart and be broad-minded. Psychology: Personality determines not only your fate, but also your illness. "In the eyes of psychologists, personality not only determines fate, but also may determine what disease you get." Li Juan, a researcher at the Institute of Psychology of Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the Research Center for Geriatrics Psychology, said that just like blood types A, B and O, people's personality can be divided into four types: A, B, C and D, which are closely related to the probability of illness. Type A: People with personality are competitive, have a strong sense of time and self-motivation, and strive to occupy the position of leader. Such people are under great pressure and easily get nervous and excited. Their risk of hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is 2-3 times that of ordinary people. Type C: People with personality are overly anxious about interpersonal communication, always submit to humiliation and suppress emotions, and such people are most likely to get cancer; Type D: Personality is also called "sad personality". The most obvious manifestations are negative sadness and loneliness, which are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Type B: And "heartless, talking and laughing" refers to people with type B personality. They are very satisfied with the status quo, contented, relaxed and have no big mood swings, so this kind of people have the highest probability of entering the ranks of "longevity". People who nag live longer. In Beijing, more than 65,438+0,000 "anti-cancer stars" were surveyed. Almost everyone thinks that the reason for surviving is a good attitude. Once you have a nervous breakdown, everything is over. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh in the United States conducted an eight-year follow-up survey of 90,000 women, and found that optimistic people had a low mortality rate of 14% and a low risk of heart disease of 9%. A survey of 20 15 cancer patients in Norway also found that the survival rate of people with a strong sense of humor is 70% higher than that of people with a poor sense of humor. "Keeping the sunshine mentality is far better than any good doctor. It is not only conducive to the coordination between the cerebral cortex and nerves, but also enhances the immunity of the human body and delays aging. " Professor Zhou Yujie, director of the Department of Cardiology, anzhen hospital, Capital Medical University, said that research shows that cheerful people are often more immune than sensitive people. On weekdays, all kinds of bad emotions will change your body. For example, when you are angry, you will have symptoms such as pulse, heartbeat and accelerated breathing; When you are sad, the digestive juice secreted by the digestive glands will decrease and your appetite will decrease; Fear and lying will make the central nervous system nervous, which will lead to an increase in blood pressure at any time. This is because people secrete different substances when they are unhappy and happy-they secrete adrenaline when they are unhappy. Adrenaline is a stress hormone, which will lead to vasoconstriction and high blood pressure. Long-term excessive secretion will lead to hypertension and heart disease. When you are happy, you will secrete endorphins, which can make people feel happy. No matter who has a nagging person, it will make people complain. But according to Yang Jinsheng, a researcher at China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is also the secret of longevity. He believes that nagging can mobilize memory function and language expression function, and can also exercise brain cells. People who often talk, especially the elderly, can exercise the oral muscles and throat, help to keep the eustachian tube unobstructed, keep the pressure balance inside and outside the ear, have a health care effect on tinnitus and deafness, drive the eye muscles and trigeminal nerve to move when talking, and can also prevent presbyopia, senile cataract and vision loss. Prescribe a prescription for "psychotherapy"-a good attitude "medication is not as good as diet therapy, and diet therapy is not as good as psychotherapy". To a certain extent, even the best medicine is not as good as a reasonable diet, and even the best diet is not as good as having a good attitude. In this regard, several experts have prescribed "psychotherapy" for everyone. Laughter is a kind of nutrition. Studies have confirmed that laughter can lower blood pressure; Laughing 1 min can have the effect of rowing1min; Laughter can also release stress and reduce depression; Laughter can stimulate the body to secrete dopamine and make people feel euphoric. Middle-aged and elderly people should get in touch with people with a sense of humor, watch more comedies and cartoons, and listen to cross talk. Speech therapy is a specific medicine. The white house health care doctor once gave bush a secret recipe for health: speech therapy, communicating with his family at least 15 hours a week; Couples communicate for at least two hours every day, including dinner or lunch. Being alone for a long time will cause great social and psychological pressure, and may even cause endocrine disorders and decreased immune function. Australian researchers have found that people with a wide circle of friends live an average of seven years longer. Therefore, even retired old people should not always stay at home, try to expand their life circle, get together with old friends more, and try to take the initiative to say hello to neighbors they have never met. Tolerance, understanding, indifferent to fame and fortune, tolerance is the regulator. People will inevitably suffer losses, be misunderstood and be wronged in social communication. Faced with these, the wisest choice is to learn to be tolerant. A person who is intolerant but only demanding of others will easily lead to nervous excitement, vasoconstriction and high blood pressure, which will lead to a vicious circle of psychology and physiology. And learning to be tolerant is equivalent to putting a regulating valve on your mind. Indifference is an immune agent. Do small things confused, big things clear. I'm tired of caring about trivial things all day. You might as well be smart and generous when you encounter difficulties, and keep a happy mood and inner satisfaction, which is conducive to prolonging life. ▲
