Self-cultivation is one of the important measures to achieve health and longevity. Since ancient times, China has made many expositions in this field: "It is compulsory to keep fit", "Being virtuous will lead to a long life", "Worrying about heart failure every day, keeping in good health as a warning", "Being humble will prolong life", "The illness of a bosom friend is a heart medicine" and so on. Modern medical research also proves that people with high morality are healthier and live longer; Those who do harm to others are often ill or die young.

This is because good moral cultivation is beneficial to human health. Ge Hong, a famous health care scientist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once said: "If you don't cultivate morality, you can't live forever if you ask for more." Sun Simiao, the king of medicine in the Tang Dynasty, once said, "De Buke, the elixir of jade liquid can't last long." If a person doesn't attach importance to moral cultivation and doesn't release the shackles of chasing fame and fortune, his brain will not be peaceful, and he will think about it all day. Even taking manna elixir regularly will not help prolong life, but will still accelerate the aging of his body. Modern medicine has proved through research that people who often do bad things will inevitably suffer from physical and mental health damage. A survey of more than 2,700 people by American researchers 14 found that those who handle interpersonal relationships well and are willing to do good things for others anytime and anywhere are much healthier and live longer than those who are stubborn, withdrawn and lonely.

Why do selfish people who lack moral cultivation harm their health? The reason is: because these people tend to be self-centered, bitter and bitter, haggle over personal gains and losses, for fear that others will calculate themselves, they often fall into a state of tension and anxiety, the functional activities of various systems in the body are out of balance, and the body's disease resistance is greatly weakened, which is easy to lead to diseases. In addition, people who lack moral cultivation are always restless, suspicious, and prone to conflict with people around them. It is difficult to get rid of this psychological problem, and it is easy to produce negative psychological reactions, which will naturally damage physical and mental health.

Health and longevity are the most precious things in life. Longevity is the first right of life, and health is the first wealth of life. Longevity is the greatest need of life, and health is the greatest enjoyment of life. In order to achieve health and longevity, don't forget to start with moral cultivation.
