The wisdom of our ancestors is unfathomable, after observing the life course of countless people;
came up with such a proverb: "If you are old and have two hurdles, you will live a long life if you cross it."
What do you mean, is this really true? Let's talk about it today.
First, the origin of the two hurdles of 73 and 84 years old
The age of 73 and 84 years old is known as the two hurdles in life, and this concept is derived from ancient Chinese cultural traditions and folk beliefs.
In Chinese culture, Confucius and Mencius are not only revered for their philosophical achievements, but their longevity is also seen as having special significance.
Therefore, the people have gradually formed a view that the age of 73 and 84 is a major juncture in life.
This proverb reflects the folk belief in the concept of life, that is, the age of 73 and 84 is regarded as an insurmountable life difficulty;
At the same time, it also reflects people's worries about the impermanence of life and the uncertainty of fate.
Nevertheless, we must understand that this is based on conventional wisdom, not scientific facts.
In modern society, people's lifespan is affected by many factors, including genes, living environment, personal habits and medical conditions.
Therefore, we should look at this issue with reason and peace, and not as an insurmountable boundary.
Second, what do the elderly need to do if they want to cross these two "hurdles"?
First, be particular about what you eat.
"The people take food as the sky", we Chinese are famous for their attention to food. But eating delicately is not the same as eating healthy.
If we want to live longer, we have to learn to eat light, eat more vegetables and fruits, and eat less greasy and heavy foods.
Also, don't forget to drink plenty of hot water, water is the body's lubricant, which can make our body machine run more smoothly.
Second, moving your muscles and bones is also crucial.
Let the body move, the blood circulation is smooth, and you can make friends.
Third, be more social
Human beings are social creatures, whether they are with family or chatting with friends;
Even saying hello to our neighbors can make us feel better.
Fourth, you have to go to the hospital often for a physical examination.
It's like the car needs to be overhauled every year, so that problems can be found and solved early, saving you trouble in the future.
Fifth, talk about mentality.
Some people say that mentality is everything, and this is true.
We must learn to be content, not always compare ourselves with others, and don't worry about some small things.
Life is like a marathon, and our goal is not to run the fastest, but to run the farthest.
Only by maintaining a calm mind can we have the last laugh.
The secret of health is not complicated, it is in our daily life.
Third, in addition to this, the elderly should also pay attention to these two parts of the body
1,肝胆
This is the chemical factory in the body, responsible for detoxification and detoxification.
However, if there is a problem with the liver and gallbladder, toxins can accumulate in the body and put a burden on the body.
Therefore, we elderly people should try to avoid drinking alcohol and eating greasy food to protect the liver and gallbladder .
2. Cardiovascular
As we age, our blood vessels become less flexible and prone to hardening.
This can lead to serious problems such as heart disease or stroke.
In order to prevent this from happening, the elderly should control their blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipids, eat less salt and sugar, eat more fruits and vegetables, do more exercise, and maintain the health of their blood vessels.
Remember, these two "hurdles" are actually a saying, and whether we can really get by depends on our own usual efforts.
Therefore, keeping a normal mind, paying attention to your health, and enjoying every day is the last word.
