Health is not equal to longevity？ It’s all from the bottom of my heart, middle-aged and elderly people need to know too much.
Longevity is one of the manifestations of health, but longevity is not necessarily synchronized with health. Health and longevity can not be measured simply by the length of life or whether the body is sick. It is important to observe the living ability and functional maintenance of the elderly.
Health and longevity are not the same thing.
Health means that there is nothing wrong with your body, and longevity means that your body can live for a long time.
These two things are different. Some people are healthy but not long-lived, while others live long but not healthy.
For example, there is an old man who is in good health and often shares his fitness secrets on TV.
But one day, he suddenly found himself with two kinds of cancer, small cell cancer in the lung and poorly differentiated cancer in the esophagus, both of which were highly malignant. As a result, his condition developed rapidly and he died soon.
Therefore, a healthy life is comfortable and of high quality, while people with long life are more vigorous.
Life sometimes lies in exercise, but sometimes it also lies in rest.
Exercise can make people strong, but people who don’t exercise are not necessarily in poor health.
Strong people are not easy to get sick, and people with poor health are easy to get sick, but they can live for a long time if they don’t encounter any serious illness.
Look at those people who are in poor health and always take medicine. They have been alive all the time, living longer than those who are in good health.
There is a saying: rough wooden barrels are more durable than exquisite porcelain jars, and cautious people live longer than adventurous people.
It is often seen in life that some people are very strong, but suddenly they die without any warning. Just as athletes don’t live longer than ordinary people.
Too much exercise harms the body, consumes life, looks healthy, but actually does not live long. Proper exercise is good, but don’t go too far …
Therefore, it is recommended that middle-aged and elderly people take a walk for one hour every day. Too much exercise damages the body, accelerates aging, and a fast metabolism does not necessarily lead to a long life.
The tortoise runs slower than the rabbit, but it lives longer than the rabbit, because its metabolism is slow.
People with slow personality often live longer than those with urgent personality, which may also be related to slow metabolism. The so-called quick come, quick go, that is to say, people with urgent personalities.
A simple, calm and happy life is the foundation of longevity.
If a person is always worried, angry, afraid and unhappy, he will not have a good quality of life. People who are in a bad mood will soon get old, their body’s resistance will drop, they will easily get sick and die early.
Therefore, the elderly should find their own fun, communicate with others more, and don’t take the troubles to heart.
"Only if you are heartless, you will not be tired."
4. Longevity and diet have no fixed rules.
Some centenarians eat light food every day and some are full. There is also a centenarian couple. The old lady loves meat and the old man is a vegetarian all his life.
There is a master of Chinese studies. He eats nothing but salty and oily. He is 103 years old this year, and he still looks very energetic.
It seems that there are a hundred people of all shapes and sizes, which is true at all. It mainly depends on what kind of constitution you are.
For example, someone who drinks milk has diarrhea because his body can’t digest milk, and someone who eats seafood itches because his body is allergic to seafood.
Therefore, people are different from each other. We should eat food that suits us, and don’t blindly pursue vegetarianism or some diet combinations that don’t suit us.
5. The relationship between longevity and sleep is worth exploring.
Some people say that we should get enough sleep, so some old people go to bed after dinner, but some people go to bed late every day and don’t take a nap.
Some people in the world don’t sleep all their lives, and they are not short-lived. Some people are night owls, some are early birds, and we can’t say which is good or not.
So, everyone has everyone’s work and rest habits, as long as they go to sleep according to their own rules, naturally, not too much, not too little, not too tired, and they feel comfortable.
