1, eat 1 time a day “beneficial life medication” Zhu Lao said, 50 years, he insisted on taking homemade medication, achieved very good health effects. Zhu Lao’s exclusive recipe is: take 50 grams of mung beans, coix seeds, lotus seeds, lentils, 30 grams of jujube, 10 grams of Chinese wolfberry, 50 to 70 grams of astragalus. Decoct Astragalus twice with water, strain the juice separately, and combine the resulting juice together. Wash mung beans, coix seeds, lotus seeds, lentils and jujube together, add the right amount of astragalus juice into the pot and boil it on a fast fire, then stew it on a slow fire for half an hour, then add wolfberry and cook it for ten minutes. You can put this remedy into the refrigerator and chill it, and take some out every morning or evening (Zhu often takes this remedy as a midnight snack), and finish it in 5 days. This formula has the effect of tonifying the five organs and relieving fatigue, suitable for brain workers, overworked people, weak people and the elderly. Zhu Lao relies on this formula to relieve fatigue when he is tired at work. 2, after waking up in the morning rubbing the ears and face Zhu Lao said: “My daily life is very tightly paced. Until I was 80 years old, I always rode a bicycle to and from work, and often when I went out for activities. It was a very time-saving way to exercise. Now that I don’t ride a bike anymore, I use the time before I wake up every morning and while watching TV in the evening to exercise. When I wake up in the morning, I rub my hands together, then comb my hair with my fingers, then rub my face and ears with both hands, and slowly turn my head and neck until I feel fresh. In the evening, I also do 5 to 10 minutes of ‘limb free movement exercise’ while watching TV, that is, swinging the limbs back and forth, so that the body slightly sweating.” Zhu said that these two exercise methods have the effect of making the legs lighter and healthier, reducing facial wrinkles, and preventing ear disease and cervical spondylosis. Today, in his nineties, Zhu still insists on physical exercise every day, and he goes out for three half-day clinics every week. 3, regular life Zhu Lao said: “To maintain vigorous energy, the primary condition is to have a regular life. In my 20 years as director, I have to see patients and handle administrative matters during the day, and write articles at home at night. But I still try to fall asleep before 12:00 pm. This is because 23:00 p.m. to 1:00 midnight (also known as zi zhi) is the time when yin is at its peak and yang is at its weakest in the human body, which is the best time to sleep. Protect the cervical vertebrae often do cervical spine health exercises people who sleep after 1:00 midnight, will deplete the body’s yang, the next day can not fight the spirit of the day, and even sleep to 10:00 the next day can not make up. Now, I go to sleep earlier each night, but I only sleep six or seven hours a day. If you sleep too much, people will become lazy.” 4, often use the brain Zhu Lao believes that “if you want to live long and diligent use of the brain, nourishing the sky in the diligent.” This sentence is indeed the experience of health. He has long insisted on the habit of “must have something every day”, if there is no new insight or experience one day, it is difficult to sleep at night. He said: “I have to read books and newspapers every day, and I can sleep soundly only when I have new experiences. I have written six books and more than 140 medical papers, all of which I squeezed out in time. I do this for fun, so that the spirit of support.” 5, diet and nutrition should be balanced Zhu Lao believes that there is a close relationship between diet and healthy longevity. The elderly should follow the principle of “balanced nutrition, appropriate amount of sugar and salt, and sufficient water” in their diet. He said, “There are a lot of fatty and heavy food at banquets, so I don’t usually attend them. If I can’t resist, I try to eat more vegetarian dishes at banquets. Recent studies have found that dieting can strengthen the body’s immunity and slow down the rate of aging of the organism, so middle-aged and elderly people should diet appropriately. Apples, onions, eggplants, kelp, nori, carrots, barley, olive oil, beans and fish foods all contain nutrients that can lower cholesterol. Middle-aged and elderly people should eat these foods often to obtain the effect of disease prevention and health care. 6, maintain a calm state of mind Zhu Lao highly respected Confucius said, “happy to forget worry, do not know that the old will come” this saying. He said: “If people want to prolong their lives, we must maintain a calm, peaceful state of mind, when things are neither too worried, nor too happy. In life, people should not deliberately camp, and do not take gains and losses too seriously, and if they encounter things that do not go their way, they should try not to be chagrined, not to be annoyed, not to be nagging.”
