Preface
"Immortality" is an eternal topic of human beings, and almost everyone wants to break the natural law of birth, aging, sickness and death, so most people attach great importance to health preservation.
Nowadays, people basically rely on scientific research results to maintain their health, keep their bodies in a healthy state, and prolong their lifespan.
However, there was a strange man in the Ming Dynasty who ate only 2 kinds of food a day and eventually lived to be 128 years old. So what exactly are these two foods?
"Rejuvenation" may come true
On April 18, 2024, Nanjing University announced the results of a study on the activation of human stem cells.
The human body ages because stem cells are underfunctioning, and this experiment can reactivate the regenerative ability of human stem cells.
Chinese scientists are pushing the results of their research into clinical trials. If the experiment is successful, then the life span of human beings will be greatly broken, and "rejuvenation" will no longer be a fairy tale.
However, everyone is committed to relying on science and technology to live hard in order to prolong life, in fact, in the Ming Dynasty, there were already people who did it, in that era, to live to 60 years old is considered to be old, let alone to live to 128 years old, who is such a strange person?
Wang Shining, a strange man in the Ming Dynasty
Wang Shining was born into a poor peasant family. In the Ming Dynasty, if you want to escape the fate of farming and get rid of the identity of a poverty peasant, you can only rely on reading.
Therefore, Wang Shining's family tightened their belts and sent Wang Shining to study in a private school, and the hope of the whole family also fell on Wang Shining's weak body.
However, the world is impermanent, although Wang Shining is full of poetry and books, every time he participates in the imperial examination, it is the result of his name falling to Sun Shan. The failure again and again also made Wang Shining feel extremely disappointed.
At the insistence of his parents, Wang Shining still reads poetry and books at home all day long, just to be able to win the first place one day. However, at this moment, Wang Shining's mentality has changed.
Falling off the list again and again made Wang Shining begin to become unconfident, and the ambition of the title of the gold list was gradually smoothed out, and Wang Shining began to change from studying the Four Books and Five Classics to Huang Laozhi.
Indulge in the art of Huang Lao all day long, and study how to live forever and prolong life.
When his parents saw Wang Shining become like this, they were afraid that he would go crazy and become stupid and crazy, so they didn't persuade him to study and test his fame, and let Wang Shining go out for a walk, experience the fireworks in the world, and face the reality.
After walking out of the house, Wang Shining did not give up the desire for immortality in his heart, and began to run around, looking for people with longevity and asking for the secret of longevity.
Everywhere I went, I had to talk with the local old people, ask the old people about their health methods, and by chance I learned that in the local mountains, there was an old man, although he was over the age of sixties, but he still maintained a strong body and a state of strong spirit.
So Wang Shining went to visit the old man in the mountains, and after hearing Wang Shining's question, the old man smiled and said nothing, and Wang Shining didn't know what to do, so he began to live in the mountains, imitating the old man's daily life.
Wang Shining found that the old man made at sunrise and rested at sunset, no different from ordinary people, but he never ate grains and grains, and fed on wild vegetables and fruits all day long, and drank mountain spring water.
Wang Shining did the same, threw away all the dry food in the package, and began to eat wild vegetables, pick wild fruits to eat, and drink mountain spring water when thirsty.
Without the troubles of the world, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, Wang Shining's physical condition is getting better and better.
Although the body is gradually losing weight, the whole person's mental state is becoming more and more stable.
With the change of years, Wang Shining's parents have also passed away one after another, and brothers and sisters of the same age have also grown old, surprisingly, the years seem to have forgotten Wang Shining, and Wang Shining's appearance has not changed in the slightest in the past few decades, and there is no trace of old age.
Finally one day, Wang Shining, who had never been sick, felt unwell, and finally his body was unable to support him, so he slowly closed his eyes and passed away in his sleep at the age of 128.
Sun Li's health
Although modern people can't eat wild fruits and vegetables and drink mountain spring water every day, they are also extremely careful about their diet. Even so, it is difficult to reach Wang Shining's level, so did Wang Shining really live to the age of 128 by eating these two things?
In the past, there were no better living conditions, but now everyone seems to have returned to the same state as before in pursuit of health. Sun Li is one of the representatives, Sun Li's health care is very in line with the characteristics of delaying aging from the perspective of current science.
According to the scientific basis, coupled with the traditional Chinese health culture, Sun Li's food and daily nutrition in different seasons are different, and they are formulated in strict accordance with the health rules.
Including in daily life, the daily schedule and even the temperature of the foot soaking water are strictly controlled.
Even so, fans still didn't feel that Sun Li's health care had any improvement on herself, and even spread the saying that "Sun Li is getting older and older".
In fact, in the final analysis, it is a matter of mentality. In addition, Sun Li works hard every day and is busy with work, which is very easy to cause emotional instability.
After comparing Sun Li and Wang Shining, we can conclude that compared with health preservation, a good mood and a good attitude are the keys to determining people's health and longevity. Therefore, when we pay attention to health, we must also maintain our good mood.
The pursuit of life
Everyone's life pursuits are different, and their views on life are also different.
Just like Wang Shining, who is isolated from the fireworks in the world, he is dedicated to cultivating immortals and asks. In this place far away from the distractions of the world, enjoy yourself, take the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed, live between heaven and earth all your life, and spend this life according to your inner thoughts.
Some people feel that since they have come to this earthly world, they must have a good experience of life in the red dust, firewood, rice, oil and salt in the world. Experience the life you like all over again, so that you don't go through this experience in vain.
They believe that if they don't experience the hardships of life and the various states of life, then there is no point in living for a long time.
Although they all want to live longer, the premise is to live the life they like, if the daily life is not what they want and like, then even if they live longer, it is meaningless for people like them.
Scientists study the results of longevity
R&D teams in Japan and the U.S. say they have found an enzyme in young mice that can synthesize "NAD" to extend the lifespan of older mice.
The results of the experiment showed that continuous injection of the enzyme into a 26-month-old mouse could extend the life span of the mouse by 16%, which may provide a new direction for extending the life span of humans.
A team of researchers from the United States and Australia jointly issued a statement that they found in the experiment that after injecting the protein PF4 inherent in the blood of elderly mice, the physical function of the elderly mice recovered to the level of middle-aged mice.
Follow-up studies have shown that protein PF4 also has functions such as keeping the brain agile and resisting body aging.
epilogue
Although everyone's outlook on life is different, everyone hopes to be forever young and healthy.
In daily life, while we enjoy life, we should also be self-disciplined, take care of our bodies, pay attention to health research, and keep our bodies healthy at all times.
Only a healthy body and a good attitude can better enjoy life and keep yourself young.
With the progress of science and technological breakthroughs, I believe that there will be achievements in the future in resisting human aging.
It is believed that the upper limit of human life expectancy will be achieved through science and technology in the near future.
