His surname is Hengzi Junda, and he is also called Qingniu Daochang, so he went to visit. See him healthy, not senile, very envious. He sincerely asked me about the art of longevity. The head of Qingniu said 12 words of health preservation: "Physical desire is often exhausted, and food intake is often small. Don't overdo it, don't overdo it. Remove fat and concentrate, save acid and salt. Never think about it, donate your emotions and get rid of them. Careful sexual intercourse, diarrhea in spring and summer, and closure in autumn and winter. "
