Since ancient times, family, affection, health and longevity have been the goals of people. Regarding longevity, there is an old saying among the people: "People are old and two hurdles, and if they survive it, they will live long". So, what are these two "hurdles"? How do they affect our perception of longevity? Today, let's explore this interesting topic together.
In ancient times, people's life expectancy was generally shorter, and in general, the average life expectancy was only thirty or forty years. However, there were two great sages at that time, Confucius and Mencius, who lived to be 73 and 84 years old, respectively. The influence of these two sages is so great that it is widely believed that if you cross these two age barriers, you can enjoy the blessing of longevity. The improvement of modern technology and medical standards has extended people's life expectancy, and the average life expectancy has reached about 73 years old. Although modern medical technology has made great progress, the most important thing to truly achieve a long and healthy life is to rely on yourself.
In order to help the elderly overcome these two "hurdles", we need to focus on the following aspects:

Only when we treat ourselves well can we truly achieve a long and healthy life. Here, I also sincerely wish everyone a safe, healthy and smooth life through every stage.
