To live to old age, it is not by tobacco and alcohol, but by these three points.
How long can a human be lived? This is an old and fresh question that everyone wants to know the answer to. Some people say that the ultimate life span of human beings is 120 years, some people say that the ultimate life span of human beings is 150 years, and some even say that the ultimate life span of human beings is unlimited. However, these are only theoretical speculations, and in reality, the average life expectancy of humans is much lower than these figures.
According to the World Health Organization, in 2019, the average life expectancy of the global population was 73At the age of 2, the average life expectancy of Chinese is 764 years old, 32 years old. This means that if you live to be 77 years old, you have surpassed most people and you are already a long-lived person. But are you really content with that? Do you really think that's enough? Don't you really want to live a few more years?
In fact, a person's lifespan is closely related to his living habits. Many people know that smoking and drinking alcohol are harmful to the body, can lead to various diseases, and can shorten lifespan. So, many people struggle to quit these two bad habits, or at least control them within a reasonable range. However, you may not know that, in fact, the most life-reducing habits are not smoking and drinking, but the other three aspects, which you may never pay attention to, or never take seriously, but they are quietly devouring your life.
The first aspect is not to take emotions seriously. You may feel that emotions are just psychological feelings, which have nothing to do with the body, and as long as they do not affect work and life, you can vent and express them as you like. However, you are wrong. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the five internal organs of the human body correspond to five emotions, namely heart and happiness, liver and anger, spleen and thought, lung and worry, kidney and fear. If the emotions are too intense or unbalanced for a long time, the corresponding organs will be damaged, resulting in qi and blood imbalance, the invasion of diseases and evils, and various problems in the body. The World Health Organization's research has also confirmed this, poor mood will increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, immune system diseases, etc., will reduce people's ability to resist disease and self-healing, and will affect people's sleep quality and quality of life.
You can imagine that your emotions are like a wild horse that, if you don't harness it, will run around and take you to dangerous places and make you encounter all kinds of difficulties and setbacks. And your body is like a vampire bat, if you don't take care of it, it will take advantage of your lack of attention, suck your blood, and make you weak and old. So, you can't help but take your emotions seriously, you have to learn to manage your emotions well, relax your mindset, don't get angry about some small things, and don't worry about some inconsequential things. You have to learn to regulate your emotions and find ways that work for you, such as exercise, meditation, reading, traveling, etc., to keep your emotions in a peaceful and positive state. As Mr. Zhao Puchu said, "The greatest happiness in life is the calm and comfortable mood." ”
The second aspect is not to take the pain seriously. You may think that the pain is just a physical discomfort, and it has nothing to do with lifespan, as long as it does not affect the normal function, you can endure it, or take some medicine, and it will be fine. However, you are wrong. Pain is a signal from your body that tells you that something is wrong with your body that needs your attention and treatment. If you ignore the pain, or only temporarily relieve it, without finding the root cause and cause of the pain, then you can let the problem worsen and even develop irreversible damage.
I have a friend who has a lot of tooth pain, but he never goes to the dentist, he doesn't think it's a big deal, just take some painkillers, or put an ice cube on it, and it can be relieved. He dragged on like this for several years, and as a result, his teeth became inflamed, which not only affected his chewing and speaking, but also caused infections throughout his body, which led to many complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, encephalopathy, and finally, his life was threatened. If he had gone to the dentist earlier, in time, there would have been no such consequences. From the perspective of human evolution, pain is a protective mechanism to keep us from greater harm and to keep us alive. Therefore, you can't help but take the pain seriously, you have to learn to pay attention to your pain, check it in time, check it in time, have regular physical examinations, focus on prevention, don't drag small problems into a big late, and don't turn prevention into a big one.
The third aspect is not to take the present seriously. You may think that now is just the process, it has nothing to do with the result, as long as you work hard, you can achieve your goals and have the life you want. However, you are wrong. Now is the most important part of your life, the essence of your life, the whole of your life. If you don't value the present, don't enjoy the present, don't cherish the present, then, you will lose the most precious things in your life, you will miss the best time of your life, and you will make your life empty and meaningless.
Confucius once said to his ** Ji Lu: "I am three times a day and I am self-conscious, and I am not loyal to others?" Making friends and not believing them? Are you used to it? What this means is that I have to reflect on myself every day, am I being disloyal to others? Is it dishonest with your friends? Is it not learning and not improving? This sentence tells us that we must always pay attention to our words and deeds, always improve our morality, and always enrich our knowledge. This is a manifestation of living in the moment, an attitude of taking responsibility for one's own life.
You can imagine that your life is like a train, if you don't take the present seriously, you will miss the scenery along the way, you will miss every platform, you will miss every opportunity, you will miss everyone. And your goal is like a terminal, if you only focus on the terminal, you will ignore the fun of the journey, you will ignore the meaning of the journey, you will ignore the value of the journey. When you arrive at the terminal, you may find that you have no time, no energy, no interest, to enjoy the scenery you missed, to experience the platform you missed, to seize the opportunities you missed, to cherish the people you missed. You may regret it, you may regret it, you may be lost, you may be empty.
There's a movie called "Daydreamer" that tells the story of a photographer. His dream was to photograph a snow leopard, an extremely rare and hard-to-catch animal known as the "Spirit of the Snow Mountain". In order to realize this dream, he traveled all over the world, went through countless hardships and dangers, and finally came to a remote village in the Himalayas, where there is a legend that every year on the day of the winter solstice, snow leopards appear on the opposite peak of the village. He waited there for a few days, and finally on the day of the winter solstice, he saw the figure of the snow leopard, he excitedly picked up the camera and was about to press the shutter, however, he suddenly stopped, he put down the camera, he just quietly watched the snow leopard, he felt the wonder and magic of that moment, he felt the happiness and satisfaction of that moment, he felt the life and soul of that moment. He didn't take that **, but he took a picture of his heart, and he took a picture of his life. This is a state of living in the present, a reward for the realization of one's dreams, and an interpretation of one's life perfection.
Therefore, you can't help but take the present seriously, you have to learn to value your present, enjoy your present, cherish your present, don't worry about the past, don't worry about the future, only focus on the present, only focus on the present, only focus on yourself, only focus on life. You have to learn to be grateful for everything you have, whether it's good or bad, whether it's more or less, whether you like it or you hate it, because these are all part of your life, they are all gifts of your life, they are all treasures of your life. You have to learn to cherish everyone you meet, whether it is close or strange, whether it is friend or foe, whether it is loved or hated, because these are the teachers of your life, the partners of your life, and the rainbow of your life.
Looking back at the topic of this article, we can find that valuing emotions, valuing pain, and valuing the present moment have a huge impact on our physical health and longevity, and if we can do these three things, we will be able to extend our lifespan, we will be able to improve our quality of life, and we will be able to increase our sense of well-being. Therefore, we must remind ourselves not to waste our time, let alone make our bodies barren, we must strive to live our own wonderful, live our own value, and live our own meaning. We must use our actions to prove our blessings, show our abilities, and make our lives a beautiful trip, a wonderful story, and a moving song.
