Why is the longevity population in Bama, China increasing?
Bama Yao Autonomous County is located on the slopes of Guangxi Basin and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Here, the number of elderly people aged over 90 and over 65,438+000 increased from 242 and 44 in the third census to 2,965,438+0 and 66 in the fourth census, respectively. By the fifth census, this number increased to 5,365,438+0 and 74, and three elderly people reached 65,000.
The longevity of Bama people first benefits from the good environment of nature. Bama has a subtropical climate with fresh air. The content of negative oxygen ions per cubic meter is as high as 2000-5000, up to 20000, so it is called "natural oxygen bar".
Like work, good eating habits and regular life are also important factors for Bama's longevity. On the morning of April 14, the reporter visited Huang Butie, the birthday star of Bonatun, Baima Village, Jiazhuan Township. Old man 104 years old, but he either picks pig vegetables or goes to the fields to do housework every day. He eats two meals a day and two bowls of rice for each meal. The old man goes to bed early and gets up early every day. He is deaf and blind with black hair. He often said, "If you don't go out to exercise every day, you won't eat well or sleep well at night." We couldn't believe what he said if we hadn't seen him picking pork dishes quickly.
The longevity of Bama people is also related to diet. They often eat natural foods, such as hemp, corn, tea oil, sour plums, pumpkins, bamboo shoots and sweet potatoes. Corn, sweet potato, etc. Rich in trace elements, oil and soup made from hemp contain a lot of unsaturated lower fatty acids. Keiichi Morishita, president of the International Natural Medicine Association, believes that the intake of unsaturated low fatty acids and trace elements is the key to the longevity of Bama people.
In addition to the above points, optimism is another prominent feature of Bama's long-lived elderly. Fools think they are content with poverty and happiness, but they are just strong people who have nothing to want! The average age of the eldest son of Emperor China is 50 years old, and his life span is very short. In Pinghantun, Heping Village, when we met Neng of 106, she was still walking with her little grandson in her arms. Huang Ma can be alert and alert, and gives a hearty laugh when he speaks. She told us that she lived under the same roof for five generations and still remembered the folk songs she sang when she was young.
It is inevitable that people should pay attention to life and death. When talking with Daisaku Ikeda, Toynbee talked about the government's indifference to death with a very serious expression. Daisaku Ikeda believes that "this sentence sharply reveals that world leaders always avoid the fundamental problem of' death'". Dr. Toynbee said: "Politicians and leaders from all walks of life have not challenged this fundamental proposition, but have adopted an attitude of avoiding talking about it. This is cowardly and the most shameful. It is "cowardly" and "most shameful" not to challenge death, so it is undoubtedly the greatest and noblest to challenge and conquer death.
Zhuangzi Re-editing tells the story of the Yellow Emperor seeking Tao in the mountains. The Yellow Emperor was the son of heaven for nineteen years, and his politics was clear. He heard that it was widely spread in Kongtong Mountain, so he went to have a look. He said to Guang: I heard that Mr. Wang knows the highest Tao. I want to ask about the essence and essence of Tao. I want a bumper harvest, good weather and people to live and work in peace and contentment. What should I do? Guang said: you ask these details, I can't tell you the highest method. Say that finish, wide fell asleep, ignored him. The Yellow Emperor knelt down from the limelight, stepped forward, kowtowed several times and asked, I heard that Mr. Wang knows the highest way. How can he live forever? Guang suddenly sat up and said, yes. Come here, I'll tell you ... so, I told a story about how to live forever.
Zhuangzi, Hiroyuki. The Yellow Emperor regarded the way of longevity as the highest way. Compared with longevity, governing the country is only a trivial matter. Today's world leaders always avoid' death' and the highest way, as Tom said. The greatest things, even if they are not cowardly and shameful, can only be regarded as trivial things. They are either busy with the arms race and national strength competition, or they look at whether the growth rate has increased by a number through glasses like the bottom of the bottle, adding a sum to their political achievements ... These words are like nonsense, the real great cause of people's livelihood and immortal events, which can truly "represent the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people" and make people live longer and live a long life, but they are put aside.
The most fundamental responsibility of the country should be to promote the most fundamental interests of the people. The most fundamental interests of the people are the collection of the most fundamental interests of individuals who make up the people. Defending the most fundamental interests of the people means defending the most fundamental interests of individuals incorporated into the people. The state exists for the people who make it up, and there is no "national interest" that is higher than the people's interest, and there is no abstract "people's interest" or "national interest" that has nothing to do with personal interests. For everyone, only the existence of individual life is everyone's most fundamental interest. Then, for a country and government that truly loves and serves the people, the most fundamental interest it defends and the most fundamental cause it pursues should be to strive to realize the most fundamental interest of everyone-longevity, even longevity.
