We all know that life is about exercise. But then there are those who say, why is it that the vast majority of long-lived old people are people who do not insist on physical exercise throughout their lives? It is believed that the highest state of life is to rest and recuperate, and that few animals that prefer to exercise live long (including athletes who are primates). Some people also use the theory that few famous athletes live long lives as a basis for denying the significance of exercise. So, the question arises, is it true that exercise is not necessarily conducive to longevity? Which of these two views is right or wrong?
Long-lived old people are the vast majority of people who do not insist on physical exercise throughout their lives?
The author disagrees with this viewpoint for the following three reasons.
(1) First of all, is this viewpoint supported by authoritative research data? There are no authoritative papers or research results to prove this point.
(2) Second, this viewpoint absolutizes the definition of physical exercise. Physical exercise actually includes all kinds of sports. Walking is exercise, dancing in the square is exercise, playing basketball is also exercise, the farmer's uncle plowing in the field is exercise, and the migrant workers laboring in the construction site is also exercise. Workers' labor is more continuous and more beneficial to health than mere physical exercise.
(3) Thirdly, longevity is determined by a combination of many factors and does not depend entirely on physical exercise. Physical exercise or sports is just one factor that affects human longevity.
How can we live a long and healthy life?
There are many factors that affect longevity, and it is not true that you can live a long life by doing a certain thing. The author personally believes that in order to live a long and healthy life, you should do:
(1) Healthy lifestyle: live a regular life, go to bed early and get up early, do not stay up all night; there is a kind of hobby that can regulate the physical and mental, such as reading, chess, singing, practicing qigong, listening to music, raising flowers and plants, watching the fish and birds and so on; there is no vices, such as smoking and alcoholism, eating, drinking, patronizing and gambling, and so on.
(2) Healthy diet: dietary control, balanced meals, to light, less high salt, high fat, high sugar and spicy stimulating food, more fruits and vegetables, can do regular meals, moderate hunger and fullness, chewing and swallowing, do not overeat.
(3) appropriate exercise : every day to maintain a certain amount of exercise, no need to stick to the form of exercise, fitness, dancing, playing tai chi, riding, walking, brisk walking, climbing, etc., and even labor, are able to achieve the purpose of physical exercise.
(4) Positive Attitude: Have an optimistic and calm mindset, more smiles and less frustration in life.
(5) good interpersonal relationships: respect for the elderly, love and affection for children, husband and wife, respect for each other, not because of the trivial and quarrelsome, and the value of peace and harmony, as the saying goes, and all things are good. The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers, and the company is also committed to providing the best possible service to its customers, and the best possible service to its customers.
In short, life expectancy is related to many factors, such as genetic factors, exercise intensity, medical level, nutritional level, living conditions, living environment, etc. Exercise is one of the factors, it can be said that moderate, regular exercise and healthy diet is the best choice for a long and healthy life.
