In fact, if you want to have the potential of longevity, you can look at your body. If you have the following characteristics of longevity, that would be great!
What are the "characteristics" of people who live long? Test yourself, if there is, great!
The first feature: big ears
Chinese medicine believes that the kidney begins with understanding the ears, that is to say, people with big ears will have sufficient kidney qi, and such people usually live longer. You can also observe the long-lived old people around you. Their ears are generally larger.
The second feature: strong grip.
When a person is young, he is full of strength and has a strong grip. With the growth of age, especially after the age of 45, his strength will gradually decrease and his grip strength will be relatively small. But there are some people around, even after 50 years old, their grip is still relatively strong. These people have good muscles and hearts, and they are a kind of people with long life.
The third feature: faster walking speed.
I believe everyone has this experience: when you are healthy, you will walk faster, and you won't feel tired after walking for dozens of minutes, but when you are sick or overworked, you will feel bored after walking for a few steps. Therefore, the speed at which a person walks can also reflect the health of the body. If a person can walk a long distance at a brisk pace after the age of 50, it means that he is healthier and more likely to live longer.
The fourth feature: good complexion.
Whether a person's complexion is good or not is also a standard to reflect physical health. If a person has a good complexion and looks ruddy and shiny, such a person has good body circulation and metabolism, adequate nutrition supply, and is more likely to live longer. If a person looks dull and listless every day, then his body is not very healthy, so he should pay attention to more conditioning.
The fifth feature: strong brain skills.
Middle-aged and elderly people should not give up the opportunity to learn and use their brains because they are old. If the brain can be constantly stimulated by learning and thinking, it can maintain its due sensitivity, so that the brain will not easily decline and its life will be longer. Therefore, people who love to study at ordinary times and have strong brains are conducive to longevity.
If you have these characteristics, it is a happy thing, but if you want to live a healthy life and help you live a long life, you usually need to pay attention to the quality of your sleep.
Don't do three things before going to bed:
1, don't drink before going to bed.
Some people say that drinking before going to bed is good for sleeping, so many people drink before going to bed, but we don't advocate it, especially those who have a good capacity for drinking. Once they drink, it is difficult to control their mouths. Alcohol needs the liver to metabolize. If you drink too much before going to bed, it will increase the burden on your liver. Doing this for a long time will not only hurt the liver, but also bury many hidden dangers for the body.
Don't eat midnight snack before going to bed.
Speaking of midnight snack, it is the favorite of many people, because midnight snack is mostly barbecue food with strong taste, and it is accompanied by a glass of wine, not to mention how cool it is. But near bedtime, eating so many spicy and exciting foods will affect digestion and absorption, and it will also cause gastrointestinal diseases for a long time.
Don't smoke before going to bed
There are many kinds of toxic substances in cigarettes, so try not to smoke them at ordinary times, let alone before going to bed. Because people are used to closing doors and windows when they sleep. At this time, smoking is difficult to disperse and discharge indoor smoke, so it will all be inhaled into the body. The harmful substances in cigarettes do great harm to the lungs. If you smoke before going to bed for a long time, it is easy to make your lungs useless.
