Experience summary about longevity

No more gossip, let’s get straight to the real stuff!

Grandpa is 96 years old and still in good health. Let’s talk about his old man’s secret to longevity.

1. I think the most important thing is life and its rules.

An ancient saying goes: Work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

For as long as I can remember, my grandfather always went to bed around 7:30 to 8:30 in the evening. Even on New Year's Eve, he would never go to bed later than 8:30. Get up at 4:30 to 5 o'clock in the morning, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, never stay in bed again. I took a nap around 12 noon, which didn’t last long.

2. Eat three meals a day with balanced nutrition

No matter how busy you are, no matter whether you are happy or angry, no matter whether you are tired or not, no matter whether you are feeling well or not... you should eat three meals when the time comes. The meal is not missed.

Moreover, he is not picky about food and has no dietary restrictions. He eats everything and has balanced nutrition. I especially love to eat fish. For decades, I have eaten fish every day during the peak period, or only every three to five days at most.

Love to eat sweets. I don’t understand this. I have to eat two pieces of rock candy every day, except for the occasional cough.

3. Year-round labor and exercise

He continued to farm until he was 76 years old. Later, he stopped the high-intensity labor only after everyone’s strong obstruction.

Between the ages of 76 and 90, he insisted on feeding pigs every day and was responsible for the two vegetable gardens in the front and back yards.

After the age of 90, his vision deteriorated due to cataracts, so he only did the work he thought he could do, such as picking corn and soybeans.

After getting up in the morning, I go for a walk, about two kilometers, and then go home for breakfast. After dinner, we went for a walk again, taking the same route, from home to paddy field and back again.

4. Be content with what you have and do what you can

Having experienced the war years and three years of natural disasters, life has gotten better and better. Grandpa is very content and would never follow him again. If you compare yourself to others, never do anything beyond your capabilities.

As long as the land is planted well, the vegetables are grown well, and the pigs are raised well, that’s all. Don’t think about other things, and don’t add unnecessary burdens and worries to yourself.

Often humming unintelligible tunes. When the sun is nice, I often lean against the wall to bask in the sun.

5. Don’t hold your breath

Don’t hold your breath, not don’t get angry.

No one can help but be angry. Grandpa has a bad temper, and no one gets used to it. Everyone in our family has been scolded [face covering]. His anger is like a violent storm, which is scary, but good things can happen quickly. That is to say, emotions can Let it out and no longer hold it in. Excessive anger is harmful to the body, and holding in the breath is even more harmful to the body.

6. Look down on life and death and don’t worry too much

Grandpa never got involved in other things, and rarely cared about his children and grandchildren. Basically, he just did his best. Do things neatly and neatly, do what is right and what is wrong, and when it is over, it is over.

His peers left one by one, and he only said one thing: This day must come to pass. When my grandma passed away at the age of 93, he said the same thing...

He only went to the hospital once, and it was due to gas poisoning. He stayed in the hospital for only two days and was forcibly discharged. I will never worry about my body again, nor will I mention what makes me uncomfortable, nor dwell on the past, nor fear the future...

Part 2

Let’s talk about grandma (Madam’s grandma) , the old man lived to be 99 years old. Because he accidentally broke his leg, it could not heal and he was bedridden and unable to walk. His body's blood vessels were blocked, otherwise he would have lived over a hundred years old.

She and her grandfather have many similar secrets of longevity. Let’s put it simply.

Life and its rules, eating three meals a day, not getting angry, not thinking too much.

The difference is:

She is deaf but has good eyesight. She insists on reading books and newspapers every day, often writes and writes letters, and also wrote a memoir. It's a legend...

I comb my hair three hundred times a day and there are no gray hairs.

She eats relatively little (except for her favorite crabs and cream cakes) and has always been very thin, only about 70 pounds.

(Grandpa has also never been fat)

Three

From the perspective of the long-lived old people around me, several points are very important:

First, life is extremely regular

The second is to eat three meals a day with balanced nutrition

The third is to stay in shape

The fourth is not to hold your breath or worry
