In 1997, the annual meeting of the World Psychiatric Association pointed out that mankind has entered the “era of mental illness” from the “era of physical illness”. Mental illness has become the “disease of the century” in the 21st century, becoming the main enemy of human health. Recently, some scientists even believe that psychotherapy in the 21st century will be the most important means for human beings to overcome diseases.

Psychological state, has been listed by the World Health Organization as one of the four indicators for evaluating human health. This is because the state of mental health is inseparably linked to the occurrence and development of diseases, as well as to family, society and career. About 70% of mental illnesses are aggravated by neglecting their mental state, which accelerates the process of mental deterioration.
As the saying goes, the heart of the disease also needs the heart medicine.
Happiness is the key to peace of mind. The spirit of optimism is the invisible medicine for self-healing heart disease. Medical doctors believe that optimism, cheerful, happy, joyful emotions, can enhance the function of the cerebral cortex and the tension of the entire nervous system, promote the secretion of corticosteroids and enkephalins, so that the body’s ability to resist disease is greatly enhanced, and can greatly activate the body’s immune system, thus contributing to the prevention and treatment of disease. This means that replacing bad emotions with optimism is very important for human health; at the same time, it also shows that, except for happy emotions that can please the heart, there is no kind of medicine that can pass the heart.
Happiness makes people healthy and happy makes people live longer. This is an undeniable truth. But who is the happiest and where to find happiness? The American psychological community has conducted a detailed survey of more than 10,000 people in more than 100 countries and regions over a period of 10 years, and found that happiness is a psychological feeling unique to human beings, with a strong subjective color. It is not much intrinsically related to race, age, occupation, status and personal possession of wealth, etc. The results of this study show that happiness belongs to each person himself. Life situation, life conditions of the same people, optimists tend to be healthy, even if sometimes sick, but also easy to cure themselves without medicine. This is because optimists are able to immerse themselves in the world of endorphins. When feeling “happy”, endorphins are secreted in the brain to help relieve mental tension, while when feeling “unhappy”, endorphins and adrenocorticotropic hormones are not secreted and become other substances.
David Felton, a professor of neurophysiology at the University of Chester, found in his study of the rabbit epidemic system that morphine in the brain not only acts as a receptor in the brain, but also exists everywhere in the body. He also pointed out that when endorphins are secreted in the brain, NK (killer) cells are very active and immunity increases, thus defending against disease and maintaining good health.
It’s your fault if you don’t survive 90.
If you are an optimist, the last few years of your life will be your happiest years. A person who is spiritually fulfilled and lives a happy life must be a mentally healthy person, and mental health is an important guarantee of physical health and the ultimate standard of human health. The highest goal of life is to have a happy mood. Having happiness is the same as having health. Learn to get along with your own happiness, so that your mind is always full of happiness, is to have a “healthy heart room” that is always open, often go into it. For their busy and tired mind to do massage, so that the various parts of the mind often get maintenance and maintenance.
The world is old from worry, optimism is the medicine of longevity. The World Health Organization has called the world’s scientists to discuss ways to live a long life, and unanimously concluded that happiness makes people live a long and healthy life.
Although there are many different diseases in human beings and many different prescriptions from doctors, only happiness is the universal prescription for human health. Medical practitioners as well as health education practitioners should be good at promoting the dissemination of the happy health method and making it accessible to the general public. This will not only help achieve self-care for all, but also contribute to the implementation of the goal of health for all.
Attachment: Chen Lifu on the secret of longevity
All people have different innate endowments, but I have four of the most valuable ones.
This is the most effective way to recover from fatigue. My wife, Ms. Sun Luqing, is often jealous of me, saying that I have this good fortune.
I tend to blame only myself, not others, whenever I encounter difficulties, so I don’t lose my temper, let alone clash with others because of it, so children like to play with me. When I became the Secretary General of the Central Party Department at the age of 29 and the Minister of Organization at the age of 32, I treated them all with courtesy and respect, and they treated me with respect and respect.
For example, it took me only three or four days to memorize Mencius, while others took half a month to memorize it, so my teacher thought I was a good student. Later, when I arrived at the middle school section of the Nanyang Road Mining School in Shanghai, I was always ahead of my classmates in Chinese, except for English, which I learned late and was not as good as the others, and Mathematics, Science, and Chemistry, which I scored first overall because of my strong memory. The walls were covered with certificates of appreciation. I later went to the General Headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Army as the head of the machine section, to the front of the military telegrams, the daily visitors must be sent back to the telegrams clear, before rest, every night must be until 12 o’clock, before you can sleep.
Fourth, there is persistence because I have a strong memory and can keep it with persistence. One day I couldn’t help but ask him, “May I ask you, old master, what is the reason for your being on the street every morning and paying homage at three steps?” The old master said, “You are too young to understand.” I asked him again, and he said, “I want to build a temple for everyone.” I asked him again, “If you worship every day, how will people give money to help you build a temple?” He replied, “They will, you are too young to understand.” And he worshiped and went away.
The day after the maintenance:
First, the body in the movement, nourishing the mind in the quiet
In the old days, “the pivot is not worm-eaten, the flow of water is not corrupted, because it is always moving”, I get up every day at 5:30, for the movement of the whole body self-massage, so far it has been nearly half a century. When I entered middle school in Shanghai, I played all kinds of ball games. Other sports such as running, swimming, skating, boxing, etc., I also participated in all of them. The older I get, the more I do not stop. The method of massage in old age: it was taught by Mrs. Qin in the northeast and is called the “internal eight-danjin”. I walk every day after three meals, accompanied by a nurse, each time about 500 to 600 steps, walking this has been 20 years. The heart in the quiet, the first in the indifferent and clear-minded, Yu sincerely do not aspire to a career, for the heart of the struggle, never want to see it appear.
Second, the diet is moderate, living sometimes
Our family is neither rich nor poor; because of my second uncle’s Xinhai revolutionary uprising in Shanghai, the event was completed and the family is no longer poor. However, soon after the rebellion against Yuan, we were persecuted again and returned to poverty. Therefore, the diet finally returned to poverty, and it was able to maintain the schooling, but it all depended on the third uncle’s service in the bank to help to make it, so the diet was moderate, and the living time was barely constant.
Third, eat more fruits and vegetables, less meat
The family was poor and could not stop eating because the previous generation of brothers were friendly and never split up, so they were able to avoid having three meals constantly. Of course, two vegetarians and two meat, the women in the family eat more vegetarians, naturally suitable, I do not care, in fact, is in line with the way to maintain health.
Four, things cooked to eat, boiling water to drink
Eating raw beef and seafood has become a common habit of human beings, and they think it is delicious without asking other questions. I believe that cancer is increasing day by day, and this may be the reason. Therefore, I always observe “eat when things are cooked and drink when water is boiling” and never make any exceptions.
V. The head should be cool, the feet should be hot
There is an American elderly people live to 120 years old, look into the reason for their longevity, summed up as: “keep the head cold, keep the feet warm”. This is with the Chinese elderly to wash their feet with hot water before going to sleep, not to the very cold day, not to wear a hat the same reason. I am convinced of the reason and keep this habit.
Sixth, contentedness is always happy, no need to be safe
In the past, people said, “It is difficult to ascend to heaven, it is even more difficult to seek people”, so they often teach people with self-sufficiency and self-improvement, and good learning and knowledge. “No one can ask for more than he can get”. Seeking people often makes their hearts restless, and subject to the constraints of others, can not be called independent, in order to seek the peace of mind must start from the satisfaction of not seeking.
7. Reduce mundane affairs and seek peace
I have served the country and society for 75 years, and I have known many people, so if I do not exercise self-restraint in etiquette, I will be afraid of running around for people all day long, and my health will be affected, so from my 80th birthday onwards, I have restricted myself to “not doing” the following things.
I will not cut the ribbon, I will not witness the wedding, I will not speak at weddings and birthday banquets, and I will not serve as the chairman of the funeral committee. This practice has reduced a lot of trouble in my old age.
My body is not particularly strong, and I have been suffering from diabetes since I was 58 years old, and I have had surgical operations for gallstones and bladder stones, as well as other illnesses.
I have formulated my own remedies for heart blockage.
(a) Use half a large white celery (blood pressure and blood vessels), cut into small pieces and beaten with a fruit beater.
(2) Add black fungus (the United States believes that it can make platelets do not clot) soaked in water, the amount of a rice bowl, add the fruit beater and beat.
(c) Add mushrooms (a Japanese research institute believes that mushrooms are the scavenger of blood vessels), soak in water, remove the stems, a bowl of rice, add the amount of beating machine and beat.
(4) Add two taels of hawthorn powder (thought to calm blood pressure and blood vessels) and some water to the fruit beater, and beat it into a thin pulp.
(e) Add two taels of Salvia powder (considered to be an effective medicine for heart muscle blockage) in the fruit beater with water, and beat it into thin pulp.
(6) Add two taels of Astragalus powder and some water in the fruit beater and beat it into thin pulp.
(7) Pour this thin pulp into a pot and boil it, then pour it into a bottle and put it in the refrigerator and cook it with bird’s nest for five or six days before breakfast.
This recipe is invented by Lief himself, so that the heart does not block, has been serving for 6 years, some friends take it, think it is really effective. For reference only!
