Why are people's life spans long and short? What are the factors that determine the length of life?
We often hear about the principle of "wooden barrel": it is not the longest board but the shortest board that determines how much water a wooden barrel can hold.

Similarly, the human body is the same. It is not the healthiest part of your body that determines your life span, but the part you need to replenish most.

In order to live a long and healthy life, we must protect our internal organs and make them work normally:

1. A healthy heart is very important for the body to provide power.

Second, the liver detoxifies, and a body without toxins is a good body.

Third, the spleen governs blood, and the spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow. The spleen governs digestion and helps the human body absorb the nutrition of food.

Fourthly, the kidney governs excretion and endocrine,

Five, the lung is the main breathing, but it is also the most delicate organ, which is easy to be invaded by foreign bacteria.

In addition to protecting the five internal organs, Elizabeth, a former winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology, once summed up the way of longevity, which once attracted people's attention, that is:

People with psychological balance should live to be 100 years old, with reasonable diet accounting for 25%, others accounting for 25%, and psychological balance accounting for 50%.

Man's body and mind are inseparable. When people are happy, the brain will secrete "beneficial sex hormones" such as dopamine.

Hormones can relax people's mood and produce pleasure, which is a good state of physical and mental comfort, making the various functions of the human body coordinated and balanced and promoting health.

Generally speaking, a good body depends on good organs and a good mood.

First of all, people are pessimistic, and the moon is full of rain and shine. I hope people live a long life, to 199 years old. We can't say how long people can live. Some are long-lived and some are short-lived. Others should live longer and become shorter. For example, there are accidents such as car accidents and drowning. One minute they are alive, and the next minute they are not in this world. Let's put aside the short life caused by accidents and talk about what factors affect the length of life under normal circumstances.

What factors affect people's life span?

Although we can't decide how long our life will last, we can control our life and live longer and longer.

1. natural factors, from the macro environment, the air quality is good or bad, the air quality is good, the green coverage rate is high, and the air pollution is small. People living here generally live longer than those living in poor air quality and seriously polluted environment. The factors caused by natural conditions such as air pollution, water pollution and soil pollution are beyond our personal control, and there is nothing we can do.

2. Self-factors, including many self-factors, such as your diet, whether you exercise, your physical fitness, etc. I counted it in this case. If you want to break it down one by one, there are countless factors, but in general, you can control it yourself. Judging from the sex ratio of longevity, there are more longevity women than longevity men. Why?

First, the issue of healthy diet. Men don't pay much attention to their diet. Inattention doesn't mean unsanitary, but they love to drink, especially when they are drunk. I don't know how harmful it is to your health! Smoking, knowing that smoking is harmful to health, but still smoking hard, in terms of these two points, this is a life. Most women don't drink or smoke. Of course, many women smoke and drink. I'm just talking about proportion. Women also pay great attention to maintaining themselves and eat whatever they say is nutritious. Most men here don't pursue it, do they? And whether you exercise or not, people who exercise will be healthy, which is definitely one of the factors. In short, there are two factors that determine whether people live long, one is nature and the other is self. Self-factors can be controlled, so it is suggested to follow normal rules and strengthen exercise appropriately, which will help to live longer. People's life span is mainly the result of the interaction between internal and external factors. The internal cause is heredity, and the external cause is our living environment and living habits. Generally speaking, parents live longer and their children live longer. German scientists investigated 576 centenarians in 15 years, and found that the average age of their parents when they died was 9- 10 years older than the average person. American scientists have found that most centenarians have similar genes, especially "chromosome 4". It can be seen that the length of human life is largely influenced by genetic factors.

In addition, external factors can not be ignored. Many studies show that the key to longevity lies in a person's scientific living habits, behavior, good natural environment and social environment. If you have a healthy lifestyle, you can live longer than the average person 10 years, which means you can live to be over 85 years old. Therefore, a good environment and personal lifestyle are very important. In fact, people's gene life span is "set" as 150 years old, but people can't live to 150 years old due to lifestyle, diseases and accidental death. Although we can't change the influence of heredity on our life span, we can change the influence of external factors on us.

(1) Keeping a young mind, keeping a young mind is also conducive to longevity. Studies have found that people who look young live longer. Whether you have a young attitude and behavior at present determines whether you will die young in 30 years.

(2) Look at things optimistically and smile more. As the saying goes, if you smile, you will lose your head at the age of ten. Although life can't be smooth sailing, there are no obstacles, and you should be optimistic when you encounter difficulties.

(3) Get rid of bad habits. Such as smoking and drinking. In order to improve the quality of life and prolong life, we should actively change bad living habits.

(4) Life should be regular. Nowadays, many young people have the habit of staying up late, but they don't know that staying up late is equal to chronic suicide, which is very harmful to us, so we should live regularly.

(5) Exercise more, and moderate exercise can help us exercise, and it can also help us relax while exercising, which is beneficial to physical and mental health.

(6) Learn to tolerate others, be kind to yourself, be less utilitarian and selfish, keep your heart in a stable state and feel the beauty of life.

(7) Eat regularly, don't overeat, and try not to be unbalanced because of fitness.

People's sense of longevity has a lot to do with family inheritance. Living habits and living environment also have a certain relationship.

Now people pay attention to health preservation, but we can see that the quality of life of some elderly people in rural areas is not very special, and many of them live a long life.

People's life span is determined by many factors, including genetic factors 15%, living environment factors 10%, disease treatment and prevention 15% and personal living habits/60%. Therefore, developing good personal habits plays a major role in a person's life. Good living habits include: peace of mind, reasonable diet and proper exercise, so as to correct bad habits. Figuratively speaking, it is to achieve: childlike innocence, turtle desire, ant food and monkey behavior. This is also the same characteristic of those who live long. Heredity is a congenital factor. If a person has a family history of serious diseases, genetic defects or inheritance, then the probability of acquiring diseases will be higher. If a family has a long life history, the chances of longevity will be higher than the average person. Lifestyle determines a person's acquired health. Lifestyle includes eating habits and living habits. Healthy diet and living habits can make people look young and delay aging. And unhealthy diet and living habits will accelerate the aging of people's bodies and lead to premature aging.

Human life is like a glass, which is easily broken. No one knows when impermanence will come unexpectedly. As a living person, don't worry about your life, you'd better forget your age. Eat when you should eat, play when you should play, and live every day seriously, healthily and happily!
