Everyone's life span is different, long and short, which is related to innate genes and acquired eating habits. But it is undeniable that our life span can actually be extended. Compared with 70 years ago, our average life expectancy has been greatly extended, and it is still rising gradually. Although the development of medical technology is indispensable, it is also related to people's increasing concern for health.
Although the innate genes have no small influence, the acquired eating habits can be controlled by themselves, which has no small influence on a person's health and longevity. There are many long-lived elderly people who usually have good eating habits, so that they can live a long and healthy life and get sick less. The so-called longevity cheats are among them. Everyone can do it, but it's hard to stick to it.
If you want to prolong life, you should take timely care after 50 years old. Of course, the sooner the better, because only in this way can we lay a good foundation for our body and get less sick and live longer when we gradually enter old age.
Life can be extended and six habits can be formed.
1, reasonable diet
Food is the most important thing for people. People will eat when they are born, and eating this thing is very important for our health. If we don't eat well or eat wrong, our health will go wrong and get sick.
If you usually eat salty, oily and sweet, you like to overeat, eat supper, smoke and drink. Over time, your body will have problems, such as obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, fatty liver, coronary heart disease and so on. Visible, unhealthy diet, the lethality of health is not small, in normal life can not be underestimated.
If you want to live a long and healthy life, you should eat healthier in peacetime, such as eating more fruits and vegetables, eating less salty, greasy and sweet food, eating less junk food and high-calorie food, paying attention to controlling the amount of food, not exceeding the standard and so on.
Step 2 keep exercising
Nowadays, many people are usually busy with work and often use this as an excuse to avoid exercise; Or maybe people now have better living conditions, are a little lazy and don't want to exercise; There is also the fun of mobile phones now. Many people lie on the sofa and play with their mobile phones when they get home, and so on. In short, many people usually exercise too little, which is not good for their health and their physical fitness will be poor.
And we know that if you want to be healthy, especially to control your weight, it is essential to keep exercising. Many old people are still in good health, and even their physical strength is not worse than that of young people. This is actually the result of normal exercise.
Only by persisting in exercise, keeping weight and improving physical fitness, it is not difficult to live a long and healthy life.
Step 3 get enough sleep
Sleep plays a very important role in our health. Only when we get enough sleep can our bodies rest and recover. But now many people work overtime and stay up late at night, or play mobile phones and don't want to sleep. They don't get enough sleep, and their bodies can't rest and recover. After a long time, problems will arise.
Because when you sleep at night, your body can rest and repair, and your internal organs can detoxify. If you stay up late for a long time and your body can't get a rest, it will be damaged, leading to decreased immunity and illness, making it difficult to live a long and healthy life.
Therefore, it is very necessary to keep healthy, prolong life and get enough sleep.
4. Keep your mood.
We have all felt that when we are in a bad mood, we will also have uncomfortable symptoms, such as loss of appetite, weakness, inability to sleep and so on. These are actually the effects of emotions on the body. Short time is no problem. In the long run, endocrine will be disordered, the body will be abnormal, and naturally the body will get sick.
It is mentioned in Huangdi Neijing:? All diseases are born of qi. Anger is full of qi, joy is slow, sadness is depressed, shock is chaotic, and fatigue is exhausting. ? This actually explains the adverse effects of bad emotions on health.
And when we are in a good mood, such as happy, happy, people will feel that eating is fragrant, sleeping is more fragrant, the body is also energetic, and less sick. Therefore, it is recommended to pay attention to maintaining a good mood at ordinary times.
Step 5 get more sunshine
We humans like sunshine, and we can be said to be sunny creatures. If we stay in the dark environment without sunshine for a long time, we will find that our physiology and temperament have changed badly, such as people's lack of spirit, pale face and melancholy.
More sunshine can not only promote the absorption of calcium, but also make the body healthier and stronger. For the elderly, sunbathing is beneficial to the body to generate yang, dispel cold, prevent osteoporosis and accelerate body metabolism, all of which are beneficial to the body.
But when sunbathing, you should pay attention to sun protection, and then don't sunbathe when the sun is fierce. Choose a mild time to avoid sunburn.
6. Regular physical examination
Many people don't have the habit of regular physical examination. They think that they are usually fine, and once they are examined, it will be a bad thing, so they refuse to have a medical examination, or they are afraid of seeing a doctor, don't want to face it, and don't want to find unhappiness for themselves.
In fact, these ideas are quite wrong. Physical examination is to let yourself find some potential health problems, and then timely care and prevention. If you don't have a physical examination, these potential health problems will get worse. It's a pity that many people miss the best opportunity to prevent and treat big problems because of long-term physical examination, especially cancer.
Therefore, it is best to have a regular physical examination when you are old, so that you can know the most real situation of your body, and then carry out targeted conditioning and prevention, which can reduce the chance of disease formation, make your body healthier and prolong life.
