With the continuous development of society, the quality of life and medical level have also been effectively improved, and in this case, people's average life expectancy has also been extended. In the past, people who lived to be sixty or seventy years old were already considered to be long-lived, but now there are many people in their sixties and seventies, and most of them think that they are very young and can enjoy life. What young people can do, they can try to do. This mental strength alone is enough to be admired.
Although many elderly people are reluctant to admit defeat, they do have a lot of troubles when they get older, especially the problem of disease. In order to reduce the incidence of diseases, some elderly people have started to eat health supplements and insist on exercising. It is hoped that in this way the life will be extended. But as the saying goes: "If you are old and have two hurdles, you will live a long life if you survive it", because it is left by the ancestors, it is inevitable that people will feel worried.
Many people may not understand what the "two hurdles" mean? In fact, these two hurdles refer to seventy-three and eighty-four. If the elderly can survive these two years in peace, there is no big problem in living to the age of 100. But there are so many years, why did you choose these two years as a hurdle? In fact, there is a certain reason, it is understood that the age of Confucius's death was 73 years old, while the age of Mencius's death was 84 years old.
From feudal times to the present, China has always followed the way of Confucius and Mencius, so Confucius and Mencius are naturally regarded as saints. There is certainly no way for ordinary people to compare with saints, and in this case, many people regard the age of the death of the two saints as two hurdles in their lives. thinks that as long as you survive these two hurdles, you will be greater than a saint, and even if you live to live a long life, there is no big problem.
According to relevant statistics, the average life expectancy in the mainland has reached 77.3 years, and according to this situation, it is not difficult to survive the first hurdle. As for the 84-year-old hurdle, if you want to get through, you also need external factors to intervene. To some extent, there is some truth to this statement, after all, China has entered the stage of population aging, and it is not a bad thing to know the life expectancy of the elderly.
It is important to know that the retirement age of the elderly is basically around 60 years old, and after retirement, the elderly may not be able to adapt to their leisure life all of a sudden. At this time, the elderly will also have more or less psychological problems, they think that they will no longer be needed by the society and will not be recognized by the society. In the long run, it will also affect the physical health of the elderly, so there is a threshold of 73 years old.
When you successfully cross this threshold, you will usher in the threshold of 84 years old, and this threshold is mainly the injury caused by illness. With the passage of time, the body of the elderly is like an old machine, and various problems appear. If left untreated, it can lead to worsening of the disease, which can threaten your health. Therefore, the elderly must do a good job of physical examination on a regular basis, and once the disease is found, they need to go to the hospital for treatment in time, so as to ensure good health.
