Everyone wants to longevity and health, not only want to live a long life, but also healthy longevity, higher quality of life, not at the end of the disease: live long without meaning, some people may be more than 60 years, and he had cerebral infarction, the stroke hemiplegia in bed, even live longer, there is no life value, how to both health and longevity of live?

We should form good habits when we are young, and all diseases do not come on suddenly. After 10, 20, 30 years of bad living habits, slowly accumulated caused by, such as high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, diabetes, emphysema, all kinds of cancer, so we need to form a good living habits from now on, can be healthy long life.

1. Brush your teeth carefully

Teeth is too important to us, when we were young, there may not be aware of the importance of the teeth, when we are old teeth are off, we know teeth were very important to the improvement of the quality of our life, can't be happy without teeth chewing, chewing, there are a lot of delicious can't eat, so that the digestive system will be a big problem.

If teeth have chronic periodontitis and gingivitis when they are young, these long-term inflammation in teeth will lead to inflammatory cells and inflammatory factors into the blood, which will cause systemic inflammation. Studies have proved that long-term chronic inflammation of oral teeth will damage our pancreas and increase the probability of diabetes.

So please brush your teeth carefully 2 to 3 times a day, each time three minutes, you can use floss, to ensure oral hygiene. If it's already broken, go see a doctor to get it fixed.

2. Use your brain

More brain can prevent Alzheimer's disease, more than 70 years old is not good, foolish foolish; And some people more than 80 or 90 years old, thinking is still very agile, speech is very clear, so usually nothing more use your brain, read some of their favorite books, listen to some relaxing music, even to play mahjong, square dancing can avoid dementia.

3. Make breakfast a priority

The importance of breakfast for people, we do not need to overemphasize, a healthy and nutritious breakfast, recently has been repeatedly mentioned by people. Dr. Zhang Wenhong says we should eat more milk and egg sandwiches and less porridge. Let's not say this method is unscientific, but at least he proves that breakfast is very important for us.

A healthy and nutritious breakfast can provide us with nutrients throughout the morning, keep the brain active and the spirit happy, provide calcium supplements, vitamin supplements, and benefit the entire gastrointestinal tract.

4. Eat regularly

Make sure you eat three meals on time. People who do not eat according to the point on time, for a long time, most of them have gastrointestinal problems, such as chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, enteritis, often constipation or diarrhea.

We often ask our friends who have digestive tract problems if they are eating three meals a day. Many people will say that if they don't eat on time, if they don't eat three meals a day, it doesn't matter once or twice. Over time, they will inevitably get gastrointestinal diseases. When they get old, they will be miserable if they can't eat this.

5. Get plenty of sun

Sun exposure ensures that we have enough calcium to prevent osteoporosis. We see many elderly people in their 60s and 70s who break their legs after a simple fall on the ground and then die after lying in bed for three months.

Why is that? Because of osteoporosis. Our body's calcium from the age of 40 began to slowly lose, especially after the menopause, the loss of calcium is faster, if this time do not pay attention to supplement calcium, do not pay attention to the sun, then soon will lead to osteoporosis.

So in addition to drinking milk and eating nuts every day, more sun exposure can also help us absorb the calcium we eat, preventing osteoporosis. Such can prevent later old body does not have strength, carelessly fall to cause fracture.

Drink more scented tea

There are a lot of tea polyphenols in tea, the benefits of tea polyphenols are very many, some people even say that tea has anti-cancer ingredients, so if drinking tea can sleep, sleep is no problem, drinking tea every day is also good. We call it health tea.

However, a lot of people can't sleep after drinking tea, or they don't have time to drink tea because they work during the day. In the evening, they can't sleep after drinking tea. This is really a difficult problem.

7. Exercise regularly

Exercise is very important to our health and longevity. More than three days of aerobic exercise every week, such as taijiquan, square dancing, eight-danjin, jogging and cycling, are all better ways of exercise. If you can swim, of course, it is better to swim.

Academician Zhong Nanshan is more than 80 years old, and his health is very strong, which is inseparable from the exercise he insisted on when he was young.

8. Peace of mind

Mentality must be relaxed, calm and slow down, do not be anxious, nervous and depressed. Because mood is closely related to many diseases, including many cancers. When you are in a bad mood, a long time will cause increased blood pressure, resulting in hypertension, gastrointestinal dysfunction, gastritis, enteritis, women also easily lead to breast cancer ovarian cancer these gynecological tumors, so the state of mind must be calm, do not give gas full, this is absolutely not good.

Reduce late nights

Staying up late has almost become a standard match for modern people, usually do not stay up all embarrassed to say how hard they work, are embarrassed to say that they are modern people.

Everyone is now basically before going to bed, holding a mobile phone, brush for a while news, brush for a while short video, brush for a while novels, tell me are you like this?

But this kind of stay up late for a long time, is very harmful to our health, will cause our beauty to decline, cause liver damage, skin deterioration easy to aging, so try to reduce it.

10. Stop smoking and drinking

Alcohol, tobacco, the harm to us, almost everyone already knows now, no one think that drinking and smoking is good, he told us the harm of the body, from head to foot, every hair every cell can be harmful, two people who smoke will have a person leave this world because of tobacco related diseases, as a doctor, respiratory, we Often see some chronic obstructive pulmonary emphysema terminal patients, sitting there every day with oxygen, very painful, and now the first incidence of cancer, lung cancer is inseparable from smoking, so quit smoking and drinking from now on.

The above 10 points are our goal to live a long and healthy life. If you can't do it now, I hope you can do it in the future. If you can do it now, congratulations, you are likely to live a long and healthy life. My name is Dr. Li Ying from respiratory Department.
