Ordinary people are not doctors, and it is difficult to "epiphanize" what kind of health methods they have. However, at least by learning from the excellent experiences of others, you can improve your living habits and make your body move closer to a healthier direction. What I want to share with you today is the health care of Chen Lifu, who was once praised by the prime minister. What's so special about him? Chen Lifu was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 58, but lived until the age of 101, when he died in 2001. Even if we look at it 20 years later, we can still appreciate this kind of difficulty and preciousness. So, how does he take care of his body, especially how to resist sugar?
Wellness is on the move
Diabetes is often caused by patients consuming too much high-sugar, high-fat food in their daily diet, and while suffering from diabetes, these patients usually have problems such as obesity and overweight. Since the problem is already very clear, the next anti-sugar road should know how to go.
Chen Lifu once talked about the "eight-character proverb" of his health care method in public, and the first four words of which are health care.
This half sentence should be well understood, that is, if you want to stay healthy, you should adhere to the necessary exercise. In fact, not only him, but also friends who have watched "Forrest Gump" should not forget the teenager who insists on running in the film. His character, Tom Hanks, is not only a staunch and persistent person in the film, but also in real life. Like Chen Lifu, he also suffered from diabetes at an "advanced age" in his 50s, but he insisted on exercising, losing fat, and being able to lose twenty or thirty pounds of weight in a year is admirable.
It can be said that whether it is Chen Lifu or Tom Hanks, they can "accompany" diabetes, but continue to move forward for many years, which is inseparable from the exercise habits they have. From Chen Lifu's photo, we can see that although the blood sugar is high, his figure has been controlled through exercise, and the results of control are not bad.
Wellness in tranquility
The second half of Chen Lifu's "Eight-Character Proverbs" is a healthy life in silence. It sounds like the opposite of the first half of the sentence "health is moving", but in fact, it is also very reasonable.
In fact, I think this second half of the sentence is more difficult to follow than the health care. Why? Because it does not require us to do something specific, but it requires us to maintain a quiet mind, "not to be happy with things, not to be sad with ourselves", to abandon greed, and to enjoy life with a calm mind. In that era of change, Chen Lifu was still able to do it, why today, the things we need to consider are not so much, not so big, but many people are not satisfied, too much calculation, let themselves often excited, angry, "surging heart"?
Sugar control focuses on self-cultivation
In Chen Lifu's "Eight-Character Proverbs", the first half of the sentence "Health in Motion" emphasizes exercise, improve immunity, promote the body's metabolism, enhance physical fitness, reduce weight, and better control blood sugar. The second half of the sentence "health in quiet" emphasizes maintaining emotional stability and avoiding sudden fluctuations in blood pressure and blood glucose index because of "anger rushing to the crown" or thinking too much. In general, these two sentences are very instructive for diabetics to control blood sugar, and even today they are not outdated, which is a very helpful anti-sugar method.
Not only diabetics can learn, but if others can do these eight words like Chen Lifu, they can at least prevent many diseases in later life and make the rest of their lives healthier and longer.
