Affects the length of life, not a disease of aging?4 indicators are related to longevity, so you may wish to test yourself
In our lives, we often hear about how to live longer.
Many people believe that the key to longevity is to avoid illness and stay young. However, it's not that simple. In TCM theory, the length of life is not only related to disease and aging, but also to multiple indicators of the body. Today, we're going to take these four indicators that are closely related to longevity and provide some ways to test them for yourself.
1. Weight. Weight is one of the important indicators to measure a person's health. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that being too heavy or too light will affect the life expectancy. Obesity increases the risk of diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure, while being too mild can lead to malnutrition and weakened immunity. Therefore, maintaining a moderate weight is essential for longevity.
How to self-test: Weigh yourself regularly and record your weight.
If you notice that you are overweight or underweight, adjust your diet and exercise habits in a timely manner.
2. Sleep quality.
Good sleep quality is essential for longevity. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that adequate sleep helps regulate body functions, enhance immunity, and delay aging. Long-term insomnia or poor sleep quality can lead to a decline in the function of various body systems and increase the risk of disease.
How to self-test: Observe the quality of your sleep. If you often suffer from insomnia, dream a lot, or wake up more often during the night, try to adjust your sleep schedule, improve your sleep environment, and seek help from your doctor if necessary.
3. Heart rate. Heart rate is an important indicator of heart health. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that a heart rate that is too fast or too slow can affect lifespan.
A fast heart rate can increase the burden on the heart and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseaseA slow heart rate can indicate a decline in heart function.
How to self-test: Count your heart rate at rest. A normal heart rate should be between 60-100 beats per minute. If you notice an abnormal heart rate, seek medical attention promptly.
Fourth, diet. Diet is another important factor that affects longevity. Traditional Chinese medicine advocates a balanced diet, emphasizing the correspondence between the five flavors and colors of food and the five organs of the human body. Reasonable eating habits help regulate body functions, enhance immunity, and prevent diseases.
How to self-test: Review your eating habits. Are you picky or overeating?Do you regularly consume high-calorie, high-fat, high-salt foods?If you find a bad diet, try to change it gradually, pay attention to food variety, eat more vegetables and fruits, and reduce the intake of greasy foods.
Summary: Through the self-testing of the above four indicators, we can better understand our health status and adjust our lifestyle habits in time to prolong our lives. Of course, in addition to these four indicators, there are other factors such as exercise, mentality, etc., which also have an impact on longevity. Therefore, we need to focus on all aspects of the body holistically and make health the cornerstone of our lives.
