4 elements of healthy longevity for the elderly The U.S. National Institute on Aging collaborated to find three regions with exact demographic information on longevity: Sardinia, Italy, Okinawa, Japan, and the Linda, Rome region of the United States, analyzed the lifestyles of local residents, and summarized 4 elements of healthy longevity. 1.Physical work The residents of these three regions are “non-athletic”. This seems to be very different from the concept of “life is in motion” that we advocate. In fact, they often live a life without physical labor, which is precisely the exercise that will benefit them for life. For example, Sardinians live in vertical houses and walk up and down stairs every day. They have their own gardens. They do all the cleaning and cake making themselves. These physical tasks burn the same amount of calories as they do on the treadmill. They enjoy walking the most, which is considered the only way to prevent cognitive decline. Doing housework can be a good way to coordinate the hands, eyes and brain, and women need to abide by their strengths to prevent Alzheimer’s. Should start from 40 years old, use more brain and stick to exercise. 2, planned life People in these long-lived areas clearly know how to organize their lives, so everyone does not panic. Studies have shown that the inflammatory response triggered by hurry or stress is associated with Alzheimer’s disease and cardiovascular disease. By slowing down action for 15 minutes a day, this inflammation can become an anti-inflammatory state. They placed their lives in order and their mental state was positive and active, so they gained an extra seven years of life. 3, vegetables and legumes are indispensable The diet of the residents of these long-lived areas is mostly based on the intake of green vegetables, eat a lot of beans and nuts. Take Okinawa in Japan for example, they eat 8 times more tofu than Americans. They have many small strategies to eliminate over-satiation. For example: eating on smaller plates, not advocating family-type meals, but bar-top pick-ups, and limiting the amount of food eaten. The nutritional benefits of soy protein and milk protein are comparable, with benefits such as lowering blood lipids and preventing cancer. The Chinese Nutrition Society daily recommended bean consumption is 50 grams, if made into soy products equivalent to 200 grams of tofu, or 100 grams of dried tofu. 4, put family and friends first People in longevity areas pay much attention to family relations and social relations of unity and harmony. They believe that their own health is closely related to their surrounding friends.
