As we all know, Ji Xianlin is a long-lived old man, but in fact, after Ji Lao entered his later years, his physical condition was not optimistic. Ji Lao suffers from frequent diseases, such as asthma and coronary heart disease, but even so, he can still live to 98 years old, which has a lot to do with Ji Lao's "three noes" and "two good" regimen.
By "no exercise", Ji Lao doesn't mean that he doesn't exercise at all or rejects exercise, but that he doesn't need deliberate and reluctant exercise. He advocates moderate exercise, and many times excessive exercise goes too far.
In addition, exercise not only refers to physical exercise, but also attaches importance to brain exercise. Ji Lao's home is full of books. Even in his later years, he persisted in writing and created many excellent works. In his view, being diligent in thinking all his life is a beneficial exercise for the brain. Insist on exercising the brain, people's way of thinking will also be exercised, and their mentality will also change. A good attitude is absolutely helpful to health.
Many elderly people have gastrointestinal dysfunction, which leads to no appetite for many things, so they will be more picky about their diet. But after a long time, it will be malnourished, but it will not be good for the body, and even cause other problems in the body. Ji Lao suffers from gastric ulcer, but he is never picky about food, maintains a balanced nutrition, never over-regulates, and does not take supplements. For him, simple and comprehensive food is more conducive to the absorption of nutrients, and this eating habit is more conducive to prolonging life.
"Don't whisper" actually means don't tangle. Nine times out of ten, life is unpleasant, so there is no need to dwell on many unhappy things all the time. Overcoming it and letting it go is the great wisdom of life.
In addition to "three noes" for health preservation, Ji Xianlin also has "two virtues". Ji Lao paid the most attention to books in his life. In his home, almost all the furniture is dilapidated, but books are all over the study. He can't live without books, and books can't live without him. He not only read books all his life, but also wrote books all his life. Books have been with him all his life and become his entertainment, pastime and necessity. As long as you walk into the study, everything will become insignificant and you will soon forget all your troubles.
After Ji Lao entered his twilight years, he had no contact with his son all the year round. After his wife and daughter died one after another, he really felt depressed and unbearable. At this time, however, he has a cat, so the cat and books have been with him, making him take pleasure in suffering and sorrow.
After we learned about Ji Xianlin's regimen, we found that it was easier to do than to do. His likes and dislikes, most people can almost do it, but few people can really have his mentality. There is no way to maintain health and longevity, but mentality is the true meaning. See through everything, willing to give up, give up before you get it, don't care about others, don't care about yourself. No matter what kind of situation you are in, try to pin your feelings on something. The so-called "keeping in good health without skill is skill" is the truth.
