The ancient dream of mankind to live forever has been studied since the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, and the subject that my graduate students and I are engaged in has also studied the issue of longevity, ‘Confidence in life for two hundred years, will be when the water strikes three thousand miles’, the following literature is provided for reference; Liu Junbao, Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Henan Provincial People’s Hospital Tajikistan is a small, economically underdeveloped country. However, in a country with such a low per capita income and a strange lack of health care facilities, the life expectancy is surprisingly high. What is even more surprising is that, according to a population report just released by the country, there are currently 518 people in Tajikistan who are over 100 years old (421 of them are women). Of course, in terms of absolute numbers, Tajikistan can not be compared with Japan and other “long-lived countries”, but considering that the total population of the country is only the tail of the total population of Japan, it is not too much to call it a “super long-lived country”. It is reported that in these centenarians, the first ranked elderly people living in the remote Fanihon mountains, named Ibragimova, this year has been 123 years old; ranked second is her neighbor Pamela Shelariyeva, 113 years old. 109-year-old A. Karimov is ranked third. According to reports, Tajikistan’s centenarians include three ethnic Russians, and a 104-year-old woman of Chinese descent. Some Western longevity researchers in the country after a study that, in addition to the lack of industrial development, most areas of the country is still free from industrial pollution, Tajikistani people generally believe in the “ordinary is happy” view of life, may also play a positive role in promoting longevity. As the country’s “first longevity” Ibragimova said: “In fact, always looking forward to immortality, but will lose life, on the contrary, do not want anything, but may be in the ‘unconscious’ live more than 100 years old Professor Li Jiren is nearly 80 years old When he was asked to teach him the secret of longevity, he taught him a set of exercise and health care methods that he had learned and summarized.

However, whether in Western countries or Eastern countries, there exists a group of long-lived people, they have formed a unique diet in the long-term evolution and choice, and this diet, is the secret of their long and healthy life. At present, there are five places in the world recognized by the International Society of Natural Medicine as the home of longevity, they are: Bama in Guangxi, China, Hotan in Xinjiang, China, Khansa in Pakistan, Georgia in Transcaucasia and Birkabamba in Ecuador. Hamsa, Pakistan The local people almost never get sick and can still work in the field at the age of 80 or 90, and many of them can live past 100 years in good health. According to the field research of British medical experts, the people of Khansa eat mainly plant-based food, preferring coarse flour, dairy products, fruits, greens, potatoes, sesame seeds, etc. They like to drink a wine made from grapes, mulberries and apricots in moderation. In addition, there are many glaciers and rivers near the Khansa Valley, and the water here is rich in minerals and can be drunk all year round. The unique natural conditions are very beneficial to the health of local people. Bilcabamba in Ecuador is recognized as the longest living place in the western hemisphere, with more than 20 people over 100 years old among about 5000 people. The Birkabamba people are mainly vegetarian and prefer to eat beans, corn, bananas, sweet potatoes, rice, mangoes, etc. They rarely eat animal food and high-calorie food. Georgia in Transcaucasia The local population eats bread and porridge made from cornmeal every day, drinks at least two glasses of milk and three or four glasses of yogurt, does not eat sausages, bacon or ham, and rarely eats cakes, potatoes, animal fats and sweets. They do not drink coffee, but mainly drink the locally produced “Georgian tea”. Local people’s drinking water is slightly alkaline, pH 7.2 to 7.4, and the pH of human blood is almost the same, so that these long-lived people’s blood vessels remain soft, low blood pressure, normal pulse. As a result, scientists believe that weakly alkaline foods (including tofu, peas, soybeans, mung beans, rape, celery, etc.) are beneficial to longevity. Bama, Guangxi, China The diet of the Bama people is characterized by low calories, low fat, low salt and high vitamins and fiber. Two porridges and one meal per day are naturally in a restricted diet. The staple food is mainly corn porridge and rice porridge, supplemented by white potatoes and all kinds of vegetables, beans and other natural foods, commonly used to stir-fry vegetables with fire sesame oil. Fire hemp oil is currently the highest unsaturated fatty acid content of all common edible vegetable oils, and is currently the only vegetable oil in the world can be dissolved in water. The agricultural and vegetable fields in the northern mountains of the region have extremely high levels of manganese and zinc, while copper and cadmium are low. Hotan, Xinjiang, China The village of Laisu in Hotan, Xinjiang is another of the world’s long-lived villages within China. At present, Laisu village has 2,400 people, and only 16 long-lived people over 90 years old. The food of the village’s residents is mainly cereals and vegetables, of which the cereals and mainly naan and bun, with pasta accounting for 69.5%. People there also like to drink a local tea and do not like to eat too much sweet food. Related links Summarize the healthy eating pattern of longevity villages Dietary structure is dominated by plant foods: The dietary structure of longevity villages all reflect consistency – dominated by cereals and vegetables. Beans, potatoes, corn and fruits are eaten more often, and animal foods are eaten very little. Among them, Georgians in the Transcaucasus region consume about 65% of cereals and vegetables, while those in Hotan, Xinjiang and Bama, Guangxi consume up to 80%. In addition to cereals and vegetables, residents of longevity villages also consume some fruits, nuts, dairy products and eggs. Plant food and animal food reasonable collocation: long-term simple vegetarian, will make the body in charge of food digestion enzyme system function gradually destroyed, and finally lead to a hundred diseases, and the human body needs fat, protein, vitamins, trace elements, etc. can not be fully supplied. Modern nutrition science shows that only a reasonable combination of plant foods and animal foods can fully meet the human body’s needs for various nutrients. The diets of people in longevity areas are very concerned about the combination of meat and vegetables, and attach great importance to the moderate intake of various meat and fish foods. Calorie intake should be moderate and protein structure should be reasonable: excessive calorie intake is an important cause of obesity and related diseases. The protein structure should be reasonable, and the intake of animal protein should be accompanied by the intake of plant protein, and soy products should be consumed in moderation. Control fat intake and low salt intake: The fat intake of residents in western longevity areas is different, but all are rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Controlling fat intake is an important condition for maintaining good health. High salt diet is closely related to the risk of hypertension, and salt intake in China is high, so salt intake should be reduced as much as possible. Focus on mineral intake and a reasonable mix of acid and alkaline foods: residents of long-lived villages focus on the intake of mineral-rich foods. Focus on the intake of alkaline foods such as vegetables, which can be neutralized with acidic foods such as cereals and meat to keep blood vessels soft.
