1, reasonable diet
Through a large number of investigations, health scientists and nutritionists have found that the long-lived elderly in all countries pay great attention to their daily diet. For example, Ma Yinchu, a famous economist in China, and his wife Zhang, both of whom are centenarians, especially like to drink porridge. Every morning, the couple add 50 grams of oatmeal to 250 grams of boiling water and brew for 2 minutes to make porridge. Every day, never stop. A study by the School of Public Health of Harvard University in the United States shows that if you want to live longer, on the one hand, you should try to reduce the total amount of food intake; On the other hand, we should eat more fruits, vegetables and cereals.
Choose fat-free or low-fat dairy products and eat more fresh fish and eggs.
2. Keep exercising
As the saying goes, "walk a hundred steps after dinner and live to ninety-nine." Although exaggerated, it at least shows that there is a close relationship between exercise and longevity. Research shows that jogging is very beneficial to health and longevity. And the elderly in Britain should add an attribute before this "jogging", that is, "barefoot". Jogging barefoot can massage the acupoints of the feet, thus improving various functions of the body.
3. Peace of mind
Recently, American researchers conducted a three-year follow-up survey of more than 700 centenarians, and found that their openness and optimism are the common points in their communication with others. This is also the secret of their longevity: there is no "one-night worry" and they have maintained a calm attitude towards life all their lives. Psychologists divide people's personalities into four types: A, B, C and D. Among them, people with type A personality are competitive, stressful and easily excited. Their risk of hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is 2-3 times that of ordinary people. People with type C personality are unsociable, always submit to humiliation and suppress their emotions. Such people are prone to cancer. Type D personality, also known as "melancholy personality", is often negative, world-weary, sad and lonely, and has a high risk of cardiovascular disease. And "carelessness" and "heartlessness" are typical people with type B personality. They are content with the status quo, contented, relaxed and carefree. Such people have the highest probability of entering the ranks of "longevity".
The simplest secret of longevity is to use a century-old pillow, which is suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, people with weak health and sub-health status.
