Four secrets of health preservation, adhere to it to prolong your life!
1, Slow down the speed of all actions
Chinese medicine advocates a slow lifestyle. Whether it is exercising or getting up, you should not be too impatient. Overly intense or overly violent movements can cause insufficient blood supply to the brain and heart, causing palpitations and dizziness.
In addition, the speed of eating should also be slowed down. Eating fast will not only cause weight gain, but also increase the gastrointestinal burden and cause related diseases, affect the absorption of nutrients in food, and cause malnutrition or imbalance.
2, Keep physical activity
Long-term inactivity will slow down blood circulation, easily lead to blood stasis, and thus cause various diseases. Choose suitable sports according to personal tolerance, such as swimming, cycling and running, which can enhance resistance, help fat burning, and shape the body.
Middle-aged and elderly people can choose gentle exercise, such as walking or Tai Chi, which helps to eliminate toxins in the body, increase the basal metabolic rate, and delay aging. In addition, more mental activities should be done to delay the death of brain cells.
3, Pay attention to dietary diversification
With age, the body loses water faster. At least 2500 ml of water should be consumed every day, because water is the source of life and carries blood circulation.
According to research by scientists at the National Cancer Research Center of Japan, if we eat a variety of foods, the risk of premature death will be reduced by more than 20%.
According to survey data, women who consume more types of food every day have a 19% lower risk of all-cause death (regardless of any cause of death) than those who consume fewer types of food every day, a 34% lower risk of death from circulatory system diseases, and a 24% lower risk of other deaths.
In addition, the more types of fruits men consume, the lower the mortality rate; the more meat men consume, the higher the risk of death; the more types of soy products women consume, the lower the risk of death.
Experts suggest that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have much theoretical knowledge about diet. In daily life, you should pay attention to increasing the types of food you eat, paying attention to balanced nutrition, and paying attention to food hygiene, so that you can improve your health level, get sick less, and live longer and healthier.
4, Relax your mind
Modern people live under great pressure and a fast pace of life. Being in a state of tension for a long time will increase mental stress and easily lead to endocrine disorders.
In addition, it will cause problems such as muscle stiffness and general fatigue. You should learn to relax your mind in daily life. You can relax by listening to light music or traveling. Take 10 minutes a day to take a deep breath in the fresh air, or take a hot bath before going to bed.
