Longevity lies not in exercise, but in recuperation!
We should correctly understand "life lies in motion". "Exercise is not equal to longevity," because heart rate and lifespan are inversely proportional. Exercise leads to faster heart rate, faster metabolism, and faster cell division and aging.
For example, a wooden elephant has a heart rate of 40 beats per minute and a lifespan of 80 years; The fastest cheetah on land has a lifespan of only 20 years; Turtles have a heart rate of 10 and a lifespan of over a hundred years; The swift mouse, with a heart rate of 900 beats per minute, has a lifespan of only 2 years.
Many sports enthusiasts are upset, saying that athletes' heart rate is slower than that of ordinary people at ordinary times? This is a misreading. No matter how fast they run, how high they leap, how big their muscles are, and how hard their fists are, how many of them live long? Life is overdrawn in advance by movement. The more powerful the young and middle-aged, the faster they decline in their middle and late years.
In the final analysis, there is a limit to the number of heartbeats in a person's lifetime. When a certain number of heartbeats are reached, life ends.
So remember - life is rest.
Meditation does not exclude appropriate exercises, such as tai chi and yoga. It is also okay to walk quickly, but don't run, run, or jump, and don't be confused by the "developed muscles" you have developed. That is actually a year's lifespan that has been squandered in advance.
Every morning, you can see a large number of people doing various sports in various parks. Especially for the elderly! In fact, the morning air quality index is the worst of the day. It is not suitable for sports and physical exercise (afternoon or dusk is better). For example, the carbon dioxide content is the highest. So why do so many people go to exercise? The slogan "Life lies in sports" misleads the public.
"Life lies in motion," if viewed from the context of this sentence, in itself, it is also incorrect. At least this sentence is too arbitrary and extreme! "Life lies in movement" indicates that if there is no movement, there will be no life, which means short life.
Is this really the case? Does everyone want to exercise? Is everyone suitable for sports? From a dialectical perspective, it is clear that it should be treated differently from person to person. Some people are not suitable for sports. For example, people with weak physiques are not suitable for exercise. "Because the vitality of a person is limited, for those with weak physiques, if they participate in sports, they will inevitably consume more vitality, making the body more weak and worse. The gains and losses outweigh the losses!"! In fact, people with this weak constitution only need to recuperate. Another example: Patients with liver disease and kidney disease, if they participate in sports, will inevitably exacerbate their condition and make it worse. This type of patient is only suitable for recuperation.
As Cao Cao said, "The period of surplus and contraction is not only in the sky. The happiness of maintaining happiness can last forever."! The word "nourishing" refers to maintaining health, including drinking, eating, living, and living habits; "Yi" refers to happiness and mental state.
As a sport, it can only strengthen the muscles, bones, joints, and other aspects of the body (better for obese people). Can a person get sick? What kind of illness can they get? It is determined by internal factors in the body. For example, in the same weather, some people catch a cold and others are healthy. The external cause of climate is the same, but due to different internal factors such as each person's physique and immune function, there are significantly different outcomes. The longevity of a person is determined by innate genes and nurture, not by exercise.
Medical experts from Western countries have made statistics that 70% of diseases in human society are related to emotions. This emotion is the internal cause. It is also referred to as "seven emotions causing illness" (joy, anger, worry, thought, shock, fear, and sadness) in Chinese traditional medicine. Some people also say that sports can alleviate tension and anxiety. Have you ever thought about it? Seven emotions, such as nervousness and anxiety, are like ghosts possessed. They can occur immediately 24 hours a day, 365 days a day, at any moment. Can you persist in exercising 24 hours a day, 365 days a day?
Or when you are at work or shopping in the mall, you suddenly experience tension, anxiety, and other emotions, and you can also immediately run to exercise? Eliminate this bad mood? Moreover, it is not known how much this effect actually has. The seven emotions, which are controlled by the autonomic nerves, are not controlled by consciousness, let alone movement?
There is a folk saying that "one hundred steps after a meal, one lives to ninety-nine." In fact, this statement is also incorrect. Because after a meal, the body's self-regulating function transfers most of the body's blood to the stomach to help digest it. Other organs of the human body are in a low degree of ischemia. If a hundred steps are taken after a meal
When walking, due to insufficient blood supply to the brain, dizziness, dizziness, and weakness in limbs are prone to accidents. In addition, it can also aggravate the ischemic state of organs, which is detrimental to health.
It is well known that the average life expectancy of sports athletes worldwide is only 55 years old, which is short lived. Few martial artists around the world live long. Except for practicing Taijiquan, which is a dynamic skill in Qigong and emphasizes the "three tones". That is, adjusting one's body, mind, and breath. This is a combination of movement and stillness.
The tigers and lions, both mammals, are known as the "King of Beasts", with unparalleled bravery, but both have short lifespans. Tortoises and snakes, which move less, live longer.
As a long-lived professional group, the common ones are painters, calligraphers, scholars, ordinary farmers, etc. They are relatively quiet, comfortable, or a combination of dynamic and static.
There is a famous American writer, Jack London, known as the "father of proletarian literature.". He said that it is wrong for a person to spend too much time exercising in order to live longer.
Former President Roosevelt of the United States had three Vice Presidents under his command, one of whom was named Gary. Good wine, good smoke, good fat (it was once said to eat transparent meat), not exercising, a typical obese person (super fat). Health doctors have been urging him to quit smoking, drink, eat scientifically, and exercise more, but he just won't listen. As a result, the health care doctors were all dead, and he was still alive, living for 105 years, indicating a long life.
Li Ao, a Taiwanese writer, said that his mother is anti science. She lies on the sofa all day watching TV, drinks cola, coffee, sugar dumplings from morning to night, and likes to eat high carbonated food. She has lived for more than 90 years. His father, who is very particular about life, only lives in his fifties.
"We now believe that smoking can cause lung cancer, both officially and privately, and we emphasize the need to quit smoking.". Little wonder, nowadays, cancer is an international medical problem that has not yet been identified. What is the cause of cancer? Except for the uterus, uterine cancer is recognized by medical experts worldwide as human papillomavirus infection (HPV). If anyone finds out the cause of cancer, he will receive a Nobel Prize in medicine and be a great savior for the benefit of humanity. So it can only be said that smoking is harmful to some people's health.
It can be seen that there are too many fallacies in the world. Exercise or smoking have both advantages and disadvantages. The key is for everyone to understand their physical characteristics, and what is suitable for doing? What is not suitable for? Everyone's body is an independent individual, with individual differences, including siblings. We cannot blindly emphasize that what we do is good for our health, and what we eat is good for our health. What is good to others is not necessarily what is good to you, and vice versa!
As the saying goes, "Ginseng is not guilty of eating to death, but coptis chinensis is ineffective in treating diseases.". Ginseng is a tonic, tonifying yang, and greatly reinforcing vital energy. For those with yang deficiency and qi deficiency, it is a tonic! But for people with yin deficiency constitution, it is poison!
