Some people think that when people are old, they should flower and eat, and strive to pursue poetry and far away.
Some people also believe that in this life, we must cut the door and keep the money in order to be prepared.
In the "Spring and Autumn of the Lü Dynasty", it is written: "There are five ways to cultivate the body, nourish the eyes, nourish the ears, nourish the mouth, and nourish the zhi. ”
Everyone wants to live a long and healthy life, but it is not enough to spend money, but also to pay attention to "good steel is used on the blade". That is, spend the least amount of money, live the best life, and use wisdom to support the rest of your life.
From the experience of the ancients, we can know that if you have money or not, you must be rich and support yourself, and follow the changes in age and economy and family, and go with the flow.
Putting aside money, improving your own cognition, not to learn the following five ways of health, it is not without benefits.
02
First, clean the room and nourish the body.
There is a way that the home is clean and the people are blessed.
When a person is tired all day, he stuffs his body into the house and puts it on the sofa, it feels much more relaxed. At night, take a bath, sleep well, and be able to jump around alive in the coming day.
The family is not just a house, but also a place to recuperate.
As an elderly person, when you have enough time, you should clean up the room more, regularly sweep out the dust in the corner, wipe the furniture, and throw out the unwanted things.
The space of the house becomes larger, and life is warm. The recovery of physical strength is also faster.
Most of a person's "refreshment" comes from the family. Therefore, we cannot live in a scruffy house, and we cannot let the body have a disgusting "old age".
03
Second, look for beautiful scenery and nourish your eyes.
The ancients said: "The tree is five colors, the five colors are applied, the articles are listed, and the way to cultivate the eyes is also." ”
Use the eyes to find colorful, distinguish various patterns, take the initiative to set various colors, the eyes will become flexible, but also long-term bright.
For example, the elderly who like to look at mobile phones should often put down their mobile phones and look at the distant blue mountains and green trees; friends who like to read books must look at both black and white texts and color pictures; after looking at the distance, look at the near place, adjust the distance of the line of sight.
Of course, you also have to use your eyes to find the beauty and discover the beauty. Don't look at anything, it's not pleasing to the eye.
Look at people to see the strengths, look for smiling faces; go to scenic spots to see the scenery, do not look at people's heads, do not stare at the trash can. As far as you can see, they are all beautiful things, and there will be tenderness in your eyes, and you will not be tired.
04
Third, listen to harmonious sounds and nourish your ears.
Many elderly people like to become "long-tongued women" and like to listen to "complaining, insulting" and so on. Because the days are a bit boring, I am used to saying boring things, and everywhere I go, I have to join in the fun.
Someone asked the singer Zhou Xiaoyan: "Why can you live a long and healthy life?" Even a thigh fracture after the age of 80 can recover quickly? ”
She said: "I sing every day, and if I don't sing and teach students, I must also demonstrate and practice, which is equivalent to practicing Qigong." ”
Others listed the following data: "Chinese musicologist Miao Tianrui lived for 101 years; Chinese composer and musician Lu Zhongren lived for 100 years; soprano Yu Yixuan lived for 99 years..."
Maybe you don't have five tones, but you can sing a few words and listen to others sing. In the song, you release the exhaust gas and open the "mind".
The ears of the elderly are used to listen to music, and they cannot listen to the words of their superiors and listen to all kinds of competitive words like young people.
"Listen, there are larks singing", when you often feel this way, the ear will become an organ that conducts beauty and bring pleasure.
05
Fourth, eat and drink is simple and nourish the mouth.
According to the "Lü Shi Chunqiu" record, during the reign of Shang Tang, there was a minister named Yi Yin, and his mother turned into a dry mulberry. Therefore, everyone thinks that Yi Yin is a magical person.
Once, Shang Tang held a sacrifice and used a boar.
Yi Yin said: "The most beautiful taste, to use water, but also with a fierce fire, with a low flame to cook, nine times to boil, nine times to cool... You need to use the brassica from Yanghua Mountain and the grain of Xuanshan Mountain. However, to be a true Son of Heaven, we must not be reluctant to do so, but must have the way of benevolence and righteousness. ”
Go around a big circle, that is, criticize Shang Tang, don't pursue luxury too much, don't work eating, pay attention to your own image, and live simply.
The pursuit of good food is desire, but we must refrain, according to the seasonal changes, economic conditions, make adjustments, let go of desire.
In the Book of Nourishing Life, it is written: "Appetite is small and numerous, and it is difficult to eliminate the desire to eat, and it is often like hunger in hunger, hunger in hunger." ”
People are old, live a simple life, do not have luxurious recipes, do not overly complex ingredients. Many times, you must also avoid eating strange foods.
Avoid "disease from the mouth", give up eating and drinking, in order to leave a fragrance.
06
Fifth, enlarge the pattern and cultivate morale.
The ancients believed, "And color, speak words, respect the advance and retreat, the way to cultivate ambition."
That is to say, a person who maintains a good face, can speak decently, and knows how to advance and retreat is ambitious.
For young people, ambition is to have a high diploma, have a good job, and have a lot of money. But the elderly should lower their posture, and the focus of ambition should be placed on the "wisdom" aspect.
When you export chapters, the people around you treat you differently; when you can always be at peace, you are free from troubles and less anxious.
Therefore, to be a person, we must have a big pattern, tolerate everything, and always make progress, through learning, communication, thinking, etc., find the direction, and start towards hope.

Gong Tingxian, a famous medical scientist of the Ming Dynasty, wrote in the "Shou Shi Baoyuan": "Those who are good at maintaining health nourish the inside, and those who are not good at maintaining health are raised outside." ”
The key to health is not to spend money to dress up, not to try to travel, but to live in the inner beauty, to give up the external objects to their own various interference.
Birth, old age, illness and death are natural laws, and we cannot change them, but we can grasp the laws and do what we can. As long as things are on the right track, it is to push the boat along the water, you can let yourself go further and live better.
Health is not tossing, not satisfying desires, but living a calm life.
As long as there is a sea in the heart, where is it not between water and clouds?
As long as there is a flower in the heart, when is it not a happy day?
