In the Republic of China in early autumn, the wind is a little cool, gently sweeping through the streets and alleys. I stood under the ancient plane tree, looking at the falling leaves, and I couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in my heart. How to find the way to live a long life in this complicated world has become an indelible question in my heart.
"You say, how can you live a long life in the world?" I asked, turning to my old friend beside me.
The old friend smiled slightly, stroked his beard, and said slowly: "The way to longevity is not an overnight achievement. However, if we want to talk about the essentials of it, quitting the nine habits may give a glimpse of one or two. ”
When I heard this, my heart moved, and I hurriedly said, "I want to hear it in detail." ”
The old friend nodded and began to talk.
The first habit is to quit smoking. The harm of tobacco is well known. According to the Annual Report on Health Statistics of the Republic of China, smokers are several times more likely to develop lung cancer than non-smokers. Think of the smoke, I don't know how many lives are quietly passing. I was also caught in the middle of it, but I was fortunate to wake up in time to get out of the sea of suffering.
The second habit is abstaining from alcohol. Wine can be fun, but it can also be chaotic. Excessive drinking is not only harmful to the body, but also more likely to make mistakes. I once saw a heroic man who was greedy for a cup and made a mistake, and finally his family was ruined. Therefore, I know that quitting alcohol is as important as quitting smoking.
The third habit is to quit staying up late. The night is a time to rest, and staying up late is against the way of heaven. Staying up late for a long time will inevitably lead to mental malaise and physical weakness. I was also young and frivolous, singing every night, and now looking back, I only feel that I was stupid at that time.
The fourth habit is to quit overeating. Eat modestly to maintain health. Overeating not only hurts the stomach, but also leads to obesity and diseases. I once saw a wealthy merchant who was sick and regretted it too late because he was gluttonous with delicious food.
The fifth habit is to quit laziness. Life lies in movement, and laziness is a cause for all diseases. I know this very well, so every morning, I get up and exercise to keep my body healthy.
The sixth habit is to abstain from anxiety. The heart is wide and the body is fat, and the worry is sad. In life, it is inevitable to have worries and worries, but if you are too entangled, it is easy to have a mental breakdown. I also had times when I was worried, but I was fortunate to adjust my mindset in time to get a new lease on life.
The seventh habit is abstaining from indulgence. There is a knife on the head of the color word, and indulgence hurts the body. I am well aware of this principle, so I have always exercised restraint and self-discipline in matters between men and women.
The eighth habit is to abstain from fighting. Harmony is precious, and fighting hurts peace. I have seen two families fight over trivial matters and end up with the death of their families. Therefore, I know that the way to live in peace is far better than the courage to fight.
The ninth habit is to quit dependence on drugs. Medicine can heal but it can also hurt people. Over-reliance on drugs not only makes it difficult for the body to recover, but also leads to drug poisoning. I have also taken medication for illness, but I am well aware of the disadvantages of medication, so I always maintain a cautious mind.
When my old friend finished talking about these nine habits in one breath, I was fascinated by what I heard, and my heart suddenly opened up. It turns out that the way to longevity is hidden in these seemingly insignificant daily habits.
"Thank you old friend for your advice. I thanked him.
The old friend waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a superficial opinion." If you really want to live a long life, you need to pay more attention to it in your daily life. ”
I nodded, having made up my mind. From now on, I want to quit these nine habits and strive for longevity.
Time flies, time flies. In the blink of an eye, I have entered my old age. Looking back, I'm glad I followed my old friend's advice and quit those unhealthy habits. Today, although I am over 100 years old, my body is still strong and energetic.
Standing under the ancient plane tree, I looked at the starry sky, and my heart was full of gratitude and happiness. Thanks to the guidance of old friends, I am glad that I can stick to the path of longevity.
In life, the pursuit of longevity is not an easy task. But as long as we quit those unhealthy habits and maintain a positive attitude, I believe we can all find our own way to live a long life in this complex world.
Today, I have deeply experienced the joy and happiness of longevity. I hope that my experience can bring inspiration and help to more people, let's work together to pursue a healthy and long life!
As the night breeze cooled, I slowly retracted my thoughts and turned to walk home. I have made up my mind that I will start implementing my longevity plan tomorrow. I believe that as long as I persevere, I will be able to gain more health and happiness in this long journey of life.
And the ancient plane tree, as if cheering me on, the leaves gently swaying in the wind, making a rustling sound. As if to say, "May you live a long life, may you be healthy, may your life be full of sunshine and hope." ”
I smiled and nodded, full of anticipation and confidence. I know that my journey to longevity has only just begun.
