Fertile soil on the same side, and Japan, a nation separated by a single sea, has won the top of the longevity list for many years.
According to relevant data, the average life expectancy of men in Japan is about 81.1 years, and that of women is about 87.1 years .
Compared with australia, the average life expectancy is 76.1 years . Looking at the whole world, it is neither high nor low, but it is 10 years shorter than Japan .
Many people are wondering, in the same world, why do some countries have a long life and some have a short life?
In fact, depending on the country with a long life, there are many behaviors that can benefit longevity , such as:
1. Get up slowly every day
Few people pay attention to the details of how fast you get up, but it is a thorn that affects the life expectancy of people, especially the elderly.
For people with heart disease and high blood pressure, do not wake up every morning when you wake up, but lie down for a while, stretch your waist, and let the blood flow slowly, this can effectively prevent insufficient blood supply to the brain .
In contrast, how many people in australia wake up early with noise-like alarm clocks that suddenly wake up, and how many elderly people get up suddenly with sudden cardiovascular disease and accidents.
2. Siesta for at least 20 minutes every day
In this fast-paced era, if you want to maintain sufficient physical strength and energy, you must have a good rest.
The lunch break originally did not belong to the physiological needs of the human body, but many people need to get up early because of work or life. In order not to affect the daily routine in the afternoon, after having lunch and sleeping for 20 minutes, they can restore physical strength and eliminate fatigue.
It should be noted that the lunch break should not be too long, otherwise it will affect night sleep.
3.Eat less and eat more, balanced nutrition
To say that the progress of the times has the greatest impact on human beings, it should be to solve the most basic needs of eating and drinking.
Nowadays malnutrition and famine are decreasing, and obesity is increasing rapidly.
And obesity and wealth disease bring about the first killer that threatens human health -stroke.
Eating habits are one of the most important factors affecting people's life. Although we must thank the times for the benefits, we must not regard this gift as a qualification for eating and drinking in revenge.
A healthy diet should be done with fewer meals, more balanced nutrition, weight control, and avoiding cardiovascular disease caused by obesity.
4.Get more sun
The bones are the backbone of the human body. Once the pillars cross, it will definitely affect the whole person's life.
The elderly are a group of people with a high incidence of fractures. If a fracture occurs in a particular part of the elderly, the mortality rate may be as high as 20% to 50% .
As the main resource for strong bones is calcium, one of the most effective ways to obtain calcium energy is to bask in the sun.
The sun can promote the body produce raw vitamins, maintain cell activity.
Sun exposure can also promote the body's absorption of calcium and phosphorus, strengthen bones , and effectively prevent osteoporosis.
Of course, if you want to bask in the sun, don't choose strong sunlight.
5.Keep a good mood
Physical health and mental health are mutually reinforcing into effect.
Each of us is deeply aware that when the body is unwell, the mood will be down, but a bad mentality will also affect physical health.
Mood affects the metabolism of capillaries , which in turn affects the response of our organs.
Therefore, we often hear cases of "long-term depression in people with a higher risk of cancer".
Maintaining a happy mood, an optimistic mindset, and less worries will greatly help your health and longevity .
Perseverance in sports
I believe everyone knows the benefits of exercise, increasing resistance, reducing stress, and promoting metabolism ...
In fact, in the long run, exercise is actually an effective means to suppress the occurrence of cardiovascular disease and even alleviate cardiovascular disease.
An authoritative study in the United States shows:
People without exercise habits are 390% more likely to die than those with exercise habits .
And effective exercise, such as adding 1 hour of light physical activity each day , can greatly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
And this sport, no matter when you start it is not too late.
Festinger's law warns humans that only 10% of things in our life are beyond our control, and 90% are indeed under our control.
Life is the same. We ca n’t enjoy longevity while eating big meals, but we can adjust our lifestyles and prolong life to enjoy foods that are better than big meals.
And this is not the meaning of life.
Lifespan of Japan is way better than any other country because they are addicted in drinking warm water before breakfast. And they usually consume foods without spices and they usually prefer to eat boil foods more. And they are engaged in physical excercises too.
