Chen Lifu wrote a long article "How can I live to be 100 years old".

How to live to 100 years old —— Chen Lifu's talk on health preservation.

Chen Lifu said, "I'm not particularly strong. I have been suffering from diabetes since I was 58 years old. I have had operations for gallstones and bladder stones, and I have had other diseases. It is enough to live to 65,438+0,000 years old now. Let me sum up my regimen, which should be like this:

As long as I lie down, I can fall asleep quickly, which is the most effective way to recover from fatigue.

Don't lose your temper Every time I encounter difficulties, I often only blame myself, not others, so I won't lose my temper or conflict with others. Learn to strengthen my brain. When I was very young, I studied in a private school and my memory was better than that of other students. For example, others recite Mencius for half a month, while I only need three or four days. Usually, you should use your brain more and pay attention to eating more brain-strengthening foods.

With perseverance, I not only have a strong memory, but also keep exercising. I usually don't sleep late. In the past, when I was doing morning exercises, I always met a monk in the street, begging for alms in three steps. One day, I couldn't help asking him,' Teacher, Dad, why are you in the street every morning?' The teacher's father said,' You are too young to understand.' I asked him again, and he said,' I want to build a temple for everyone. "You worship every day, the somebody else how to give money? Answer:' Yes, you are too young to understand.' Later I heard that he finally built a temple.

Fitness is exercise. Nourishing the heart is an old saying,' My family is not a worm, and running water is not rotten'. I get up at 5: 30 every day, have a full-body massage, and then do other exercises. Such as running, swimming, skating and boxing. When I am old, I walk with the nurse after three meals a day, taking about 600 steps at a time.

Those who cultivate the heart are quiet, and those who are indifferent to wisdom are expensive. I have no ambition in my career, and I never want to see infighting. Eat more fruits and vegetables and less meat. Because my grandmother likes vegetarian dishes, she eats two vegetarian dishes every day at home, which is in line with the way of keeping in good health. It has become a habit for many people to eat raw beef and seafood when things are cooked and the water is boiling. They think it's delicious and don't ask anything else. I insist on eating when things are cooked and drinking when water is boiling. I never make an exception.

It is said that an American old man lived to 120 years old, and the reason for his long life was summarized as:' Keep your head cold and your feet warm'. This is the same reason that China washed his feet with hot water before he went to bed, and he didn't wear a hat in particularly cold weather. I keep this habit because I believe in it.

Happiness lies in contentment. Nothing is what the ancients said,' It's harder to climb to heaven, and it's even harder to ask for help', so people often rely on self-reliance, learning and learning again. Don't ask for self-esteem. Asking for help often makes people uneasy, but being controlled by others, if you want inner happiness, you must start with contentment.

Since my 80th birthday, I have restricted myself to do the following things: not to cut the ribbon; Not married; Don't speak at weddings and birthday parties; Not the chairman of the funeral Committee. It will be much easier when you get old. "

Chen Lifu's health quotations

For more than 20 years, I have been doing massage with a shower. Whenever the water is rushing, I will massage every part with my hands. Doing this exercise while taking a bath will definitely promote blood circulation, which should be my initial idea.

Terms such as "Four Families" and "Song Jiang Kong Chen" were widely known among China people in the 20th century. These "Four Families" were recognized as prominent families in politics and wealth during the Kuomintang rule. Moreover, the members of the "four big families" are mostly people with long lives, which has aroused great interest from people at home and abroad. Chen Lifu himself didn't come from a long-lived family. His brother Chen Guo Fu died shortly after he went to Taibei. However, Chen Lifu, who retired from official service, became famous in the late 1980s. This time, his fame is not his political rise, but his speech advocating "unifying China with China culture" and his influence on the global Chinese society.

Chen Lifu is one of the most important figures in China in the 20th century. In his long career of 100, it happened to be divided into two 50 years, with the 50 years as the boundary, as a scapegoat for the failure of the Kuomintang in the mainland. In the first 50 years, he was a political figure; In recent 50 years, he has devoted himself to the study of China culture, and his works are quite abundant, which has once again attracted the attention of China academic circles. However, his love for Chinese culture and ardent feelings for the revival of Chinese culture are the common aspirations of China people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Chen Lifu, formerly known as Zuyan, was born in Xing Wu County, Zhejiang Province, which is now Huzhou City. He was born in 1899 and died in 2002 at the age of 103.

Chen Lifu's uncle, Chen Qimei, followed Sun Yat-sen in the Revolution of 1911, and was later assassinated for opposing Yuan Shikai's claim to the throne. Influenced by his uncle, after graduating from the University of Pittsburgh majoring in coal mine engineering, Chen Lifu gave up the ideal of saving the country by industry and joined the Kuomintang. Together with his brother Chen, he gradually mastered the power of the Kuomintang organization and established the CC department, forming a situation of "Jiang Chen clan".

After arriving in Taiwan Province Province, the Chen Lifu brothers were pushed out by Chiang Kai-shek and he went to the United States. In the United States, Chen Lifu is known as the "patron saint" of Chinese medicine while raising chickens.

It is a miracle that Chen Lifu lived for three centuries. In his early years, he devoted himself to propagating the ideology of the Kuomintang, and in his later years, he studied Confucius and Mencius. His way of longevity and health preservation is also philosophical and speculative.

Some commentators said: "The most valuable thing left to mankind by Chen Lifu's numerous writings may be his severe criticism of the negative aspects of western civilization. He lived in the United States, the number one power of western capitalism, for 20 years. He knew the Jin and Yuan empires like the back of his hand, and he thought that the so-called American model could never become the model of the world. He is worried that capital and businessmen will rule the world. Driven by the pursuit of profit maximization, capital and businessmen will never consider the carrying capacity of our little earth. Infinite development and development for development's sake will lead mankind to the abyss of disaster. Chen Lifu called on mankind to seek survival wisdom from China's traditional culture and return to the harmony between man and nature. "

This philosophy of "harmony between man and nature" is reflected not only in Chen Lifu's academic thoughts, but also in his attitude towards life and health preservation, all of which shine with the light of wisdom of advocating nature and conforming to destiny.

Lifu's health preserving theory

● Cultivate peace of mind. The first is not to lose your temper, not to worry, and to be content.

● An American old man lived to 1 and was 20 years old. The reason for his longevity is summed up as: "Keep your head cold and your feet warm."

1On the evening of August 27th, 990, the Chen family held a grand banquet in new york to celebrate the 90th birthday of Chen Lifu and his wife Sun Luqing. In order to thank relatives and friends, alumni and Kuomintang elders who came to celebrate their birthdays, Chen Lifu introduced his way of keeping in good health with a thank-you speech.

Chen Lifu said that his longevity is divided into four "old" and * * * 32 words:

Lao Jian: health is moving, health is static; Wife: Love their similarities and respect their differences; Old friends: meet each other sincerely and treat each other with courtesy; Capital: Take it wisely and use it properly.

Chen Lifu made the following statement:

It is not easy to live to 90 years old, especially for both husband and wife. The first sentence I thank you for today is "I wish you all a long and healthy life." At the same time, I would like to take this opportunity to report to you that the four major needs of the elderly and the key points to meet the four conditions are as follows:

First, Lao Jian. Being old is unhealthy and unhappy, and keeping healthy is the most important thing. I send you eight words: "move your body, be calm."

The ancients said: "A family is not an ant, running water does not rot." Because it's always moving. It is easy to understand that the human body, too, exercises more to make blood circulate and improve health. Everyone knows what his physical weakness is, so he should do more exercise in this area. Meet at 5: 30 every morning and take a shower. When I take a bath, I massage wherever the water rushes. From the top of your head to the soles of your feet, massage with your hands 100 times for 40 minutes, and it takes about 1 hour to wash your face and brush your teeth. Take a walk after breakfast 1000 steps. We have been doing this for 28 years and have never had a day off. Perseverance is the most important thing. The so-called "keeping fit is moving".

Nourishing the heart is quiet. The first is not to lose your temper, not to worry, and to be content. I have served with Jiang Gong for 25 years, and I have never made any demands on him, so I have always been happy in my heart. He asked me to do this and that, and I tried my best to do it. If I don't do well, it's not my fault (I study mining engineering). So my heart has been very peaceful, so I slept well and I was not tired of swimming. This is called "keeping things quiet".

Second, the wife. China people's concept of husband and wife is different from that of modern America, and they should "grow old together". Therefore, we should choose carefully from beginning to end, but how to achieve the word "harmony" must achieve the following eight words: "Love their similarities and respect their differences."

It should be noted that there are no two identical people in the world, that is, brothers and sisters, and they are all different. Strong people are selfish to me. Selfishness is the main cause of quarrel and the enemy of my wife. So as long as it's roughly the same, you don't have to ask the other person to be with me, and you can get it. How to achieve great harmony depends on the above eight words. The principles of getting along between countries, families and people are the same. My wife and I have been married for 63 years, and we have never quarreled, relying on the above eight words. Harmony between husband and wife has a great influence on the next generation, and our children and grandchildren seem to have never heard of any problems. I created these eight words for your reference.

Third, old friends. People can't be ignorant, and straightforward, understanding and knowledgeable friends are good friends that everyone should make. It used to be said that "a friendship between gentlemen is as light as water". Friendship is not a friendship between wine and meat, but a friendship between morality. The purpose is to make friends and help others. In order to maintain a long-term friendship, there are also eight words for your reference: "Meet with sincerity and treat each other with courtesy."

Fourth, capital. Old people are old and have savings, that is, they are financially independent and do not need to ask others (including their children) for help. Here, I also have the following eight-character dedication: "Take it right and use it properly."

The above four points are just about past experience, for your reference only, please advise.

According to Bai Xiude, an American Time reporter who interviewed Chen Lifu, Chen Lifu is "delicate and delicate".

Chen Lifu himself said that he was not particularly strong. He has diabetes, gallstones and bladder stones, and other diseases. Therefore, he can live to be over 65,438+000 years old, among which he is very knowledgeable.

On his centenary birthday, Chen Lifu wrote a long article entitled "How can I live to be 100 years old? At the beginning, I wrote: "It is everyone's expectation to live to be 100 years old, but not everyone can achieve it. There are many reasons: there are innate talents, acquired maintenance, disasters that can be avoided, and customs that can be reduced. " He also wrote that maintenance the day after tomorrow is the key to longevity.

Chen Lifu talked about his unique experience in the article:

Congenital endowment.

Everyone has different talents, and I have four of the most precious ones.

First, I can sleep soundly. As soon as I go to sleep, I can fall asleep in less than a few minutes and soon fall asleep. This is the most effective way to relieve fatigue. My wife, Ms. Sun Luqing, often envies me and says that I have such good luck.

Second, don't lose your temper. Every time I encounter difficulties, I often only blame myself, not others, so I won't lose my temper, and I won't have conflicts with others because of this, so when I was a child, children liked to play with me. At the age of 29, I became the Secretary-General of the Central Party Department, and at the age of 32, I became the Minister of Organization. I was polite to them and they were respectful to me. I never lose my temper. All my subordinates are very kind to me. I don't know what my temper is for.

Third, a strong memory. When I was very young, my memory was better than that of my classmates in private schools. For example, a copy of Mencius takes half a month for others to recite, while I only need three or four days. The teacher thinks I am a good student. Strong memory, usually go home without a schoolbag, at the back of a private school. Later, I went to the middle school department of Shanghai Nanyang Road Mining School. I learned English late, but I couldn't compare with others. Chinese is always above my classmates. I have a good memory of math, science and chemistry. I was ahead of my classmates, and I got the first total score. I got one certificate every semester and eight in four years. The wall is covered with certificates, and others praise me when they see it.

Fourth, there is perseverance. Because I have a strong memory and can persevere. I get up early. I am the first person in my family. When I go to school, I meet a Maoshan monk every day. I have a statue of Wei Tuo on my back for my charity. I never stop worshipping within three steps. One day, I couldn't help asking him, "Excuse me, teacher and father, what do you do in the street every morning?" The teacher's father said, "You are too young to understand." I asked him again, and he said, "I want to build a temple for everyone." I asked him again: "You worship every day, how can people give money to help you build a temple?" He replied, "Yes, you are too young to understand." He went to church.

Maintenance the day after tomorrow.

First, the body is moving and the heart is static. The ancients said: "A family is not an ant, and the running water is not rotten, so it is always moving." Get up at 5: 30 every day and massage yourself for nearly half a century. When I was in middle school in Shanghai, it was easy to participate in all kinds of ball games. Others, such as running, swimming, skating, boxing, etc. And participate in it. The older you get, the less disturbed you are. I walk after three meals a day, accompanied by a nurse, and walk about 500 ~ 1000 steps at a time. I have been doing this for 20 years.

Nourishing the heart is quiet. First, I am indifferent to my ambition. Yucheng has no ambition in his official career. I don't want to see infighting.

Second, the diet is moderate and the daily life is sometimes. Our family is neither rich nor poor. Because my uncle revolted in Shanghai in the Revolution of 1911, my family is no longer poor. But soon after Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, he was persecuted and returned to poverty. Therefore, after all, the diet is poor. If they can continue their studies, all the uncles in Three Lai can serve in the bank and help them succeed. So sometimes it is difficult to balance diet and daily life.

Third, eat more fruits and vegetables and less meat. Those who are too poor to stop eating, because the older generation of brothers are very friendly and have never been separated, can avoid three meals. Grandma is a vegetarian. Although she is a vegetarian, there are many vegetarians in her family, which naturally suits me. I don't care, but it is actually in line with the way of keeping in good health.

Fourth, eat when things are cooked, and drink when water is boiled. Eat raw beef, seafood and so on. It has become a common habit of human beings, thinking that it is good to eat, and there is nothing else to ask for. I think this may be the reason why cancer is increasing day by day. Therefore, I will always adhere to the principle of "eat when the food is cooked and the water is boiled", without exception.

5. Keep your head cold and your feet hot. An American old man lived to be 120 years old. The reason for his longevity is summed up as: "Keep your head cold and your feet warm." This is the same reason that the elderly in China wash their feet with hot water before going to bed and don't wear hats in extremely cold weather. I keep this habit because I believe in it.

Sixth, contentment is always happy, and nothing is safe. There is an old saying: "It is difficult to climb to heaven, and it is even harder to ask for help." So I often teach people by self-reliance and learning. "I don't want to have a high personality." Asking for help often makes you uneasy, but being controlled by others can't be called autonomy. If you want inner happiness, you must start with contentment.

Seven, reduce worldly affairs and seek peace. I have served the country and society for 75 years and know many people. If you don't restrain yourself in manners and are busy running for others all day, your health will be affected. Since my 80th birthday, I have limited myself to the following points: not cutting the ribbon; Not married; Don't speak at weddings and birthday parties; There is no President funeral committee. It will be much easier when you get old.

My body is not particularly strong. I have been suffering from diabetes since I was 58 years old. I have had operations for gallstones and bladder stones, and I have had other diseases. I am very happy to live to be 100.

Chen Lifu is a man who bears a lot of guilt politically (especially in his first half). According to the conventional theory, a "party valve" whose life is politics like Chen Lifu has been hit hard politically, which will greatly damage his health. After 1949, all the senior Kuomintang officials who fled to Taiwan Province Province suffered political frustration and disillusionment, but at the same time, an interesting phenomenon appeared: senior Kuomintang officials who went to Taiwan Province generally lived long, including Song Meiling, Chen Lifu, Zhang Qun, Zhang Xueliang and Xue Yue. It is said that this phenomenon is rare in the history of the world. To solve this mystery, it is necessary to study relevant cases. Among the existing health care files of senior Kuomintang officials, Chen Lifu's information is undoubtedly the most abundant. His health care experience was named Lifu Health Care, which shows its great influence and rich content. In the article "Lessons from Success", he wrote:

I am old, but I am still strong, so I have little experience in fitness. I have a preference since I was a child. I always like to eat chicken, duck and pig brains, but I don't eat much, almost once every two weeks to once a month. Some people may not believe it. For example, my eyesight is still very good. I think it has something to do with my love of whitebait. I scrambled eggs with whitebait, and there were always one or two hundred eggs at a time. According to the old legend, it is unreasonable for me to eat one or two hundred small fish, that is, three or four hundred eyes of nutrition, which will make my eyesight better for a long time.

I have a very scientific reason, that is, the human body is not like an agricultural society, but like an industrial society, and can make other needed raw materials by itself. That is to say, if you eat something, it will be supplied to the human body through the digestive system to combine it. You don't have to eat anything to make up for it. You just need it when you get old. It's like growing cotton, spinning, weaving and making clothes in your body when you are young, but you can't stand on your own feet when you are old. You just have to spend money on ready-made clothes to meet your needs, such as eating chicken, duck and pig brains, so as to make up your brain.

But this tonic is too high in cholesterol and should not be eaten more. It should be just right, that is, it can provide the required amount, so it will not be harmful. For example, I sometimes buy a pig's heart to eat, usually once a month, and then eat pig's brain once every month or two, so there should be no problem. Because in my physical examination report, my cholesterol is only 180, so I can eat it naturally.

Recently, a gentleman who came back from Switzerland said that there was a hospital there that invented a special treatment of "supplementing what you eat". In fact, many people have been cured, such as Queen Elizabeth, Yugoslav President Tito, German Chancellor Adenauer and other dignitaries, all by this medical method, especially Adenauer's last words are thought-provoking: "German universities should study the medical method of supplementing cells with cells. If I am not cured by this medical forensic doctor, I will not serve the country for another 20 years! "

According to Mr. Xu, the medical method of this Swiss hospital is to take the fetal sheep out of the abdomen, sterilize it, roast it, classify it, dissect it, and grind the organs and internal organs such as ears, eyes, mouth and nose into powder one by one to make injections for patients, which has wonderful therapeutic effects. Because of its remarkable curative effect, this medical method will be popularized in the future.

From this point of view, "Lifu regimen" is indeed an effective and practical knowledge summed up by absorbing the strengths of medicine in various countries, which is both enlightening and practical.

Returning farmers raise chickens to treat low back pain

The principle of "not getting angry" freed Chen Lifu from the troubles of his official career, and finally achieved great success in the field of health care.

● Moderate manual labor combined with feed miraculously cures back pain.

Chen Lifu held an important position in the Kuomintang Party at the age of 27. In the first half of his political career, he worked in the 180 department, and his official duties were complicated. He never gets angry and encounters setbacks. He always finds his own reasons and never complains, so he never loses his temper.

1in the winter of 949, after Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan Province Province, he reflected on the failure of the Kuomintang. He believes that the failure of the Kuomintang was not overthrown by the * * * production party, but the carelessness and corruption of the Kuomintang itself led to "knocking itself down." If we want to gain a foothold in Taiwan Province Province, we must completely transform the Kuomintang. To reform the Kuomintang, we must first start with the CC Department headed by Chen and Chen Lifu.

Soon, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Chen to be removed from all his posts, such as the director of the Central Finance Committee, and gave Chen Lifu $50,000. Chen Lifu knew that Chiang Kai-shek wanted him to leave Taiwan Province Province.

Before leaving Taiwan Province Province, Chen Lifu went to say goodbye to Chiang Kai-shek. It happened that Chiang Kai-shek had something to go out, and only Song Meiling was at home. Song Meiling took out a book and said, "You have assumed such a great responsibility politically. Now you will find it difficult to adapt to being left out. This is a Bible. If you take it to the United States to study, you may get some comfort in your heart. "

After hearing this, Chen Lifu sighed, pointed to the portrait of Chiang Kai-shek on the wall and said with great emotion, "Madam, the eternal God doesn't trust me. Do I still hope to gain the trust of Jesus? "

But Chen Lifu's principle was "don't be angry", so he took the $50,000 to the United States and lived in Hulin Town, New Jersey, burying his head in the study of the Book of Changes.

Chen Lifu was very interested in the philosophy of the Book of Changes, and said, "The first category: all six roots have changed, but none of them have changed. The second category: variables and invariance. " He believes that the concept of viewing things and taking images, the consciousness of alternation of everything and the view of development and change in this sentence are closely related to his experience. The book emphasizes that "nothing is flat, unbreakable and there is no turning back", which is a portrayal of his situation in the Kuomintang. He was once a smash hit, and finally plummeted. However, if you are worried about this kind of experience, you can only increase your troubles and make people sick. As a result, Chen Lifu simply disappeared from his political ambitions, encouraged himself by "staying alone", and finally achieved great success in another field of life.

Chen Lifu studied the Book of Changes assiduously, took notes based on his unique life experience, and wrote Four Books, which were published in the United States. This book is a best seller. After the second edition was published, it sold 30,000 copies. Chen Lifu was very happy, and her mood gradually changed. From then on, he took reading and writing as his spiritual sustenance and no longer worried about the ups and downs of his official career.

Chen Lifu believes that the first principle for an official to keep a calm mind and not be angry is "not in his place, not performing his duties". American reporters came to interview him, and he never talked about the Kuomintang and the * * * production party.

Once, when someone asked him, he couldn't avoid it. He said: "I used to establish the Kuomintang. The old party was defeated. If you lose, you lose. What is there to talk about? "

His wife, Sun Luqing, took it over and said, "I don't think Lifu should always feel sorry for himself for this. It may be a great blessing for us to stay away from politics for the rest of our lives."

The reporter asked Sun Luqing, "How does your wife feel now than before?"

Sun Luqing said: "Although we are so busy now, I think this is a human life. Where was a life in Nanjing that year? "

Chen Lifu took it and said, "There is an old saying in China, that is, ten years in the East and ten years in the West. The Book of Changes also said that everything is developing and changing, and it is also a natural law that we are in this situation today. "

The reporter asked Chen Lifu: "What is your state of mind now?"

Chen Lifu smiled and said, "Enjoy yourself and never tire."

In the United States, in order to make a living, carefree Chen Lifu borrowed nearly $20,000 from Kong Xiangxi and other old friends, bought a chicken farm and started a business from scratch in his later years. Without help, he helped himself, feeding, picking up eggs, buying feed, selling eggs and cleaning up chicken manure, all of which were carried by Chen Lifu alone. He taught himself the professional knowledge of breeding and soon learned to feed chickens and give injections.

Raising chickens not only freed Chen Lifu from economic embarrassment, but also refreshed him and got out of the depression of "gloomy and bitter, with low feathers". What makes him more happy is that due to years of work at his desk, back muscle strain and backache, he cured the disease by doing manual labor.

196 1 year, Chen Lifu and his wife went back to Taiwan Province province to attend their father's funeral and stayed in Taiwan Province province for more than 40 days. When they returned to America, they found the chicken farm empty. They immediately devoted themselves to restructuring the family business and expanding its scale. At most, they raised more than 7,000 chickens and hired workers to help.

In their spare time, Chen Lifu and his wife read, write and draw, and they are visiting professors at Princeton University. They went to the university to give lectures every few days and entered a carefree, humiliating and happy life.

In Chen Lifu's long memoirs, he recalled the pastoral life in the United States:

Why should I choose the chicken industry? Because I have to work for the government for so many years, I have served Duke Jiang and many people inside and outside the party, but I have not been forgiven. I'll never wait on anyone again! Then you won't feel this way when you take care of chickens.

At this time, the price of eggs in the United States is very good, and it is quite profitable to engage in the chicken industry. After half a year, we earned 5000 yuan.

In the United States, chickens are regularly fed and controlled by machines, while our farms are artificial, not modern and scientific enough, and there is not enough drinking water. So we bought a chicken food conveyor and dug a deep well with the money we earned, and 5000 yuan was spent like this.

However, raising chickens also has a convenient side. As far as feed is concerned, it will be delivered in one phone call. At that time, I was in good health, and I could recite 100 Jin of feed as soon as I bent down. Even some chronic diseases with low back pain in the past no longer have the feeling of recurrence after raising chickens.

Later, the chicken industry in New Jersey declined, and the chicken farms in Chen Lifu began to lose money. A forest fire completely destroyed his chicken farm, and more than ten years of hard work were destroyed. He and his wife are not discouraged, and they don't want to take refuge in their children. They bought a small number of chickens and reared them again, making preserved eggs, salted eggs, tofu and zongzi at home for Chinese restaurants in Chinatown.

Practitioners of "Caigenxiang"

● Most of the grains are milled, and the nutrient-rich bran and germ are also removed. Only oat can retain germ and part of bran, so it is a healthy food.

● Selectively eating fruits will not only lead to high blood sugar, but also be good at diabetes.

Pectin is a kind of water-soluble cellulose, which can promote the secretion of insulin, slow down the digestion and absorption of food, and reduce blood sugar after meals.

Throughout the world leaders' health recipes, oats are always an indispensable food. An interesting phenomenon in China is that the leaders of both countries regard oatmeal as a good health product. In Mao Zedong, Zhu De and Liu Shaoqi, the habit of eating a can of oatmeal every day is privately described by Zhongnanhai chefs as "horse feed and health treasure". This kind of oatmeal used by ordinary people to feed horses in the past is still delicious on the table of Kuomintang dignitaries. Song Meiling, Juzheng, Tomlinson and Kong Xiangxi said nothing. Even Jiang, a famous Kuomintang official, is famous for drinking and gambling at night. Every time he drinks too much or has sex, he will ask the guards to prepare a big bowl of milk and make oatmeal for him to "detoxify and nourish blood".

No matter how Chen Lifu's breakfast recipe changes every day, there is no shortage of oatmeal.

Oat is a kind of grain, which mainly grows in cold regions. Except Europe, it is widely planted in China, Hebei and Inner Mongolia. Because of its hard texture and bad taste, it has long been unpopular and is mainly used as horse feed. In modern times, the benefits of oats are gradually known and become one of the favorite foods of the public. Oats ranked fifth among the top ten healthy foods selected by Time magazine. Most grains are ground and the nutritious bran and germ are removed, but oats can retain germ and part of bran, so it is a healthy food like brown rice and whole wheat.

Chen Lifu studied in the United States and lived in the United States for a long time in his later years. Influenced by western nutrition, he developed the habit of eating oatmeal. Chen Lifu lived for a long time with diabetes in the second half of his life, which can be said to depend on oats.

The fat content of oats is the highest among all food crops. The fat of oats is mainly composed of monounsaturated fatty acids, linolenic acid and hypolinolenic acid. According to statistics, linolenic acid accounts for 35% ~ 52% of all unsaturated fatty acids. Linseed oleic acid is the most important essential fatty acid for human beings, which is not only used to maintain normal metabolic activities of human body, but also an essential component for synthesizing prostaglandin.

Oats contain many substances that can lower cholesterol, such as monounsaturated fatty acids, soluble fiber, saponins and so on. , can reduce the content of cholesterol and triglycerides in blood, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and has a very good effect on treating diabetes.

In addition, oats are rich in vitamins B 1, B2, E, folic acid and so on. It can improve blood circulation and relieve the pressure brought by life and work. Minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc and manganese can also prevent osteoporosis, promote wound healing, prevent anemia and improve neurasthenia.

Old people should especially eat more oats. The elderly are prone to constipation and dry stools, and forced defecation can easily lead to cerebrovascular accidents. Oat is rich in dietary fiber, which has the physiological functions of regulating intestine, regulating intestinal bacterial ecology, moistening intestine and relaxing bowels.
