The length of life span will be affected by various factors. With the progress of the social era, we will also find that more factors affecting life span are increasing. We also find that the average life span in China is increasing every year. Compared with ancient times, it is indeed much more optimistic.
The ancients were also more persistent in pursuing longevity. From some familiar sayings, they would actually feel it. There are also some wealthy families or emperors who are also very persistent in longevity.
Although the average life expectancy of the ancients was relatively short, it did not mean that there were no people who lived long. A person who is more familiar with was Zhang Sanfeng . It is the ancestor of the Wudang Sect of Taoism . It is well known that long life expectancy is also a well-known thing.
Why can Zhang Sanfeng live long?
According to the records in " Ming Shi " , Zhang Sanfeng lived to 18 years old
. Did he live to this age? In fact, cannot verify , but it is certain that Zhang Sanfeng's lifespan is really long, at least one hundred years old.
And Zhang Sanfeng can live for a long time, everyone will be interested in his secret to longevity. If you want to know the reasons, if you can follow the example, you may also be able to achieve longevity.
You can learn some information from some TV series, but as for the authenticity, there is no way to consider it. Zhang Sanfeng was also involved in the court. Although his official position was not high, he worked for a while. After
, he resigned from his official position to practice Taoism. He has been practicing Taoism until his death. He has also learned a lot of truths in his practice, and has made his own contributions, and has helped Zhu Yuanzhang .
His Taoist thoughts also influenced many people, and people are still using it today. One of them is the health preservation popular exercise , which is
and the emergence of Tai Chi was created by Zhang Sanfeng during the fasting . In ancient times, fasting moderately was also a way to maintain health and prolong life. Maybe this is one of the reasons why Zhang Sanfeng can live a long life. During fasting, can eliminate distracting thoughts , and also need to sit in meditation to deviate from everything.
More important point is that proper fasting and meditation will be beneficial to nourishing yin . Speaking of this, we have to mention another key point, that is, many people know that nourishing yang can help nourish longevity, but they do not know that nourishing yin is equally important and will also be beneficial to longevity.
Therefore, the Tai Chi created by Zhang Sanfeng belongs to the movement method of , which is suitable for both movement and stillness, and also belongs to a martial arts. Although I heard that this was created by Zhang Sanfeng after he was a hundred years old, Zhang Sanfeng learned a variety of martial arts and had the habit of fasting. In addition, he focused on Taoism and , and had no idea about fame, fortune and lust, which may also be an important factor in his longevity.
How long does it live to be? Is it the ultimate life span?
Speaking of this, you will find that there are many arguments, what is the specific one? It is also . There is no specific answer. . Judging from the existing data, the ultimate life span of a person is over 100 years old. As for whether he is just over 100 years old or close to 200 years old, there is still no conclusion.
and there will be some differences between Chinese data and foreign data. More importantly, there is no scientific basis for some long-lived people in ancient times. They just understand it from some miscellaneous books or hearsays, and it is difficult to define the truth or falsehood.
For example, Zhang Sanfeng, in the history of the Ming Dynasty, records that he lived to be over 200 years old, but there is no substantial evidence to live to such an old age.
Soviet scholar also believes that the ultimate lifespan of a human is 400 years old , and there was a study on Nature Communications , showing that The ultimate lifespan of a human should be 150 years old .
In the study, it was found that after the age increased, the human body's repair and disease recovery rate will decrease, especially in the age of 120 and under 150, which means that the life span reaches over 120 years old, and it is indeed difficult to go up. It is mainly a result of human aging .
Why does men live longer than women?
Speaking of this, I believe many people should have discovered that among the elderly around them, especially those who live longer, are mostly women. Moreover, many of the centenarians in China also account for a relatively large proportion of women.
In addition, the average life expectancy of men and women is increasing accordingly every year. The average life expectancy of men will increase a little, but it is still lagging behind women.
It is estimated that many people have had doubts. Women are naturally weak in their bodies and men are more masculine, so why does their lifespan not last as strong as women.
In fact, the reason is 3 points:
mainly lies in two aspects, one is the gene. Studies have found that women have one more X chromosome than men, and it can help delay aging, which may be an important trick for women to live longevity.
On the other hand, Physical structure is different. Although each person is quite troublesome to come to the aunt, it will also bring some benefits to women and can help exercise women's stress abilities.
. Pay attention to the body and know how to take care of
Because women are born with a worse foundation than men, women will care more about their health and will know more about taking care of their bodies. When they find abnormalities in their bodies, they can also find out the reasons as soon as possible. Men are different, they are too confident in their physical fitness. When they have some abnormal symptoms, they always think about dragging them out.
. Men have more bad habits
Tobacco and alcohol are more harmful to the body. Those who have been used to smoking and drinking for a long time are mostly men. If you persist in these two habits for a long time, it is easy to induce many diseases and even create opportunities for cancer.
In addition, men's pressure and work nature are also different from women. Some more dangerous jobs are mainly men. Once an accidental risk occurs, their lifespan will be greatly reduced.
Extending life span requires methods, not casually. People who can live long will definitely have their own outstanding features. If you can do it, you may be able to live long and have a destiny.
