A clean and innocent person will not look old even if he is 100 years old.

Human life expectancy is 100 to 175 years. This is set by scientists based on the research results of cytology, embryology, genetic engineering, neurology, genetics and other theories. Why do most people fail to meet this standard? The main reason is ignorance and lack of attention to health care.

We observed 33 people over 100 years old and more than 50 people aged 98-99, and summarized the world's secret to longevity: one clean heart, two clean skins and four good qualities.

Yiqing

It means a light diet with more vegetables and less meat. Among these centenarians, 100% of them have a light diet, and they like corn porridge, green leafy vegetables, rice porridge and other grains. They rarely eat meat or even give up meat.

Jiang Tong, an old Chinese medicine doctor who died at the age of 102, was still in good health at the age of 101. He insisted on seeing patients every day and walked briskly. His way of keeping healthy is to not eat rice for 50 years, reduce starch intake; eat more vegetables and deep-sea fish; drink milk every day; not eat red meat; and stew a pot of local chicken every week for tonic.

Two whites: boiled water and a white nap.

Most of the centenarians do not drink purified water. More than 98% drink boiled water. If middle-aged and elderly people want to be healthy and live longer, they must adhere to the fourteen "ones" every day. One bottle of boiled water is a thermos of boiled water.

That is to say, a healthy person should drink 7-8 glasses of water every day. Some people have dull skin and age prematurely, which is inseparable from lack of water in the body.

How to distribute these seven or eight cups of water? The best thing is to drink one and a half to two cups in the morning and evening, and the rest in the morning and afternoon, before and after meals. Why do we emphasize drinking in the morning and evening? Drinking water at night can dilute the blood, ensure that the blood does not become viscous overnight, and reduce the occurrence of cerebral thrombosis and cerebral infarction.

Taking a one to two hour nap during the day is also a good habit for centenarians. It is understood that most of the centenarians like to take a nap.

Four good

First, a good attitude: a smooth life

A person's health and longevity depends 15% on genetics, 10% on social conditions, 8% on medical conditions, 7% on the natural environment, and 60% on personal lifestyle and behavior.

Countless examples from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, have proved that people with a good mentality, who are good at self-regulation and maintaining a good mood, can avoid "suffering fate" (under 60 years old), improve "fate following" (under 60 to 80 years old), strive for "right fate" (over 80 years old), and live happily to be a hundred years old. A good attitude is the source of human health, the basis of self-improvement and the root of longevity.

Historian Zhou Gucheng lived to be nearly 100 years old. On his 90th birthday, he shared his secret to longevity, and he only said eight words: "Go with the flow and don't carry any burdens." Whenever you encounter something unpleasant, let it come and go, and don’t carry the “burden” of distress and worry, otherwise you will be mentally distressed and harmful to your health.

Second, good popularity: helping each other

The world's oldest person, 130-year-old Alimihan, visits her neighbors and plays with their children whenever she has time; 106-year-old Nur Ella always goes to help her neighbors without being asked if they have any problems.

Furthermore, the children of centenarians are very filial. Most of their children are elderly people in their seventies with white hair, but in front of these centenarians, they are still like children who have not grown up, taking care of them meticulously.

Third, exercise well: add 7 years to your life

Many centenarians came from poor families when they were young, but they worked hard to build up a good physique. Even when they are old, they continue to exercise for a long time.

A research team from the University of Saarbrücken in Germany found that walking for 25 minutes a day can add 7 years to your life, and regular exercise can reduce the risk of dying from a heart attack by half.

Even if people start exercising at age 70, their chances of developing atrial fibrillation at age 80 are only one-tenth of that of their peers.

Fourth, good sleep: being able to eat and sleep brings you great blessings.

Have a regular living routine and good sleep quality. These elderly people all have very good daily routines and maintain good and sufficient sleep.

A survey by the American Cancer Society shows that people who sleep an average of 7 to 8 hours a night have the longest life expectancy; among those who sleep an average of less than 4 hours a night, 80% have short life expectancy.

The elderly should go to bed before 12 o'clock every night, and 7 hours of sleep at night, or even 5.5 hours is enough.
