Delaying aging means prolonging life, that is, achieving the purpose of longevity. So how to delay aging?

(1) Don't be sad with your brain. Using more brains can improve intelligence, but using too much brains will make you sad. Long-term damage to the mind will damage brain cells and cause premature aging of the brain. Mental workers should learn to use their brains tightly and flexibly. It's best to take a rest and do 10 minutes of relaxation exercise after 30 ~ 60 minutes of brain use.

(2) Labor does not hurt tendons. Physical labor can strengthen bones and muscles, enhance physical fitness, dredge meridians and activate blood vessels, which is very beneficial to the health care of the elderly. However, the elderly must do what they can to participate in labor. Overwork will exhaust physical strength, damage bones and muscles, and make people premature aging.

(3) Life is rhythmic. Life should be regular, for decades, eat when it is time to eat and sleep when it is time to sleep. Otherwise, people will have white hair and wrinkles in less than half a century!

(4) Have a hungry diet. As the saying goes: "Diet should be adjusted, nutrition is the most important, and you often eat eight points full and live long." Proper diet and adequate nutrition supply can make all kinds of complex metabolic processes in the body go smoothly. On the contrary, if nutrition is lacking, some biochemical processes of cells and tissues in the body will be interrupted, and the function of organs will decline and age ahead of schedule.

(5) Regular activities. Middle-aged and elderly people should pay attention to physical activity and rehabilitation exercise. Every morning, you can do activities in parks, lakes, courtyards or streets, breathe some fresh air and bathe in the rising sun, thus improving heart and lung function and benefiting all organs and joints.

(6) indifferent to fame and fortune. People should be indifferent to fame and fortune, don't pursue material interests excessively, and be satisfied with what they have obtained. As the saying goes, "the contented are always happy!" Only abstinence can make you feel relaxed, broad-minded and live a long life!

(7) keep the "heart spring". The first is to mobilize the positive factors in spirit, increase interest in life, cultivate curiosity and enrich one's life. Less trouble and more fun, so that people are not old. Only in this way can we turn "years make people old and grow old" into "years leave youth and years leave years".

(8) Diversified hobbies. Middle-aged and elderly friends should cultivate a variety of hobbies, such as gardening, playing chess, watching plays, listening to music, painting, practicing calligraphy, reading and photography.

(9) Abstinence and prohibition of alcohol. The ancients said: "Take wine as the pulp, do whatever you want, and go against your will, and you will fail in half a hundred!" It shows that the main reason of premature aging is abnormal life and indulging in debauchery.

(10) Pay attention to hygiene. Old people should pay attention to cleanliness, clean their rooms regularly, take a bath and change clothes frequently, and often open windows for ventilation. In addition, wash your feet before going to bed, wash your hands before meals and brush your teeth after meals.
