Every time I talk about centenarians, I think of health care. I feel that every centenarian has his own way of maintaining health. It may be a unique secret recipe or good living habits. Although every time I ask them, they say there is nothing special about it. But we still found many differences.
What we are going to talk about today is this 107-year-old grandmother. There are two differences between her and other people. She likes to sit cross-legged and meditate. This hobby has lasted for more than sixty years. Up to now, she is not only healthy, but also able to In life, you don’t need others to take care of you.
1. I wonder if these two habits are the secret to maintaining good health?
The old lady we are talking about is called Zhang Fenwa. She was born in the 15th century. As a native of the countryside, the environment has always been beautiful and the air is fresh. There are no sources of pollution.
On the weekend, we went to visit her home. She opened the door and chatted with us about daily life. looked very good . As usual, we brought old photos taken last year when we came here. The old lady looked at the photos carefully and was very happy. She asked us, did you drive here? are you hungry? Thirsty or not? Faced with such polite answers, we also seemed embarrassed.
1. Sitting cross-legged
One of us is here for the first time. is very interested in the old lady’s health tips. The old lady said she likes to cross her legs when she is fine. Seeing the old lady’s little feet, the old lady talked about the bad habit of foot binding. She said that in the feudal era of the last century, it was popular to say that the smaller the feet, the more beautiful they would be.
Every girl must have her feet bound when she is a child. They say this is a rule. If they don't have their feet bound, they will not be able to marry in the future. But the process of binding the feet was very uncomfortable and the feet were basically deformed. We are all afraid of this, but there is no way, every girl has to do this. After many years of foot binding, the feet have become fixed and now it is very difficult to change them back.
In the era of feudal thought, the discipline of girls was still very strict. People in the past liked to say that when you stand, you should have a standing posture, and when you sit, you should have a sitting posture. therefore requires girls to sit cross-legged in . This habit has been with me for a long time. When
was talking about this, the uncle next to me also interjected a few words. He said that his whole life, he likes to sit with his legs crossed. This has been like this from the beginning of my memory. When I have nothing to do during the day, I sit with my legs crossed. I sit there with my legs meditating, and sometimes I cultivate my body and mind. Sometimes I lie down to sleep when I feel extremely sleepy.
takes a nap at noon every day, and the sleeping time is different. Sometimes it takes a long time, and sometimes it takes a short time. It depends on you. According to experts, taking a nap every day is good for your health, and this habit should be one of the secrets of health..
2, cleanliness
Uncle Jie is also a person who has read books. He seems to know what the purpose of our coming here is. The conversation turned into the topic of health care, and then he mentioned the second good habit, which is I am very particular about hygiene. I have to open the windows every day to get some fresh air. We also clean the house frequently. The house is clean and free of any debris, not to mention cockroaches and mice, which are easy to transmit bacteria. This habit has also been passed on to us. Now several people are very hygienic.
We took pictures of the old lady. She was not surprised at all. She also arranged her clothes and lifted up the white hair on her head. Although the old lady is over a hundred years old, unlike others, is not willing to accept the new thing . Instead, she is very interested in it. She even looked at the photos after taking them.
Uncle Xie told us again, even though my mother is already over a hundred years old, she doesn’t need anyone to take care of her every day, and she is in good health. My mother is a classic rural woman. She has lived here for more than a century. She is also very kind to people and has never been angry at all. Everyone knows that my mother is a good person .
People often ask me about my mother’s health secret. In fact, there is no health secret. As long as everything is as usual, eat on time every day, get up early and go to bed early, and the place where you live is clean.
There are many plaques on the wall of the living room, most of which belong to the grandma. The biggest piece of is the given by others a hundred years ago from the grandma, as well as from the people's government and fellow villagers.
We had a very interesting chat with the old lady. Many of the views were the same. It was hard to tell that this was the mentality of a centenarian. I didn’t want other old people to look like they had no light in their eyes. Chatting with the old lady was like talking to a young person. Just like , such a good attitude may also be a way to maintain health.
From the living habits of the old lady, we discovered three points that should be related to the secret of health care. The first one is that she likes to sleep cross-legged, just like the eminent monk sitting cross-legged and knocking on wooden fish, which is conducive to calming down. The second point is that she loves to be clean. Your home will be clean and free of germs, and you will feel better if you breathe fresh air every day. The third is that a happy family is more conducive to a good mood.
