With the continuous development of the economy and the improvement of people’s living standards, health maintenance has become an increasingly important concern. After achieving material wealth, people also begin to pursue “wealth” in terms of life health.
Health is the foundation of people’s pursuit of quality of life. Without health, everything counts for nothing. Therefore, let’s explore the mysteries of health and longevity in daily life together.
Between spouses, frequently engaging in this activity may lead to premature aging! Most people may feel embarrassed to learn about it.
Spouses should not engage in intimacy when intoxicated.
“Plain Questions (Discussion on Primitive Nature)” records: moderation in eating and drinking… to live out one’s natural life span, reaching a hundred years before departing; yet people today do otherwise, using alcohol as a substitute for water… and engaging in intimacy while intoxicated… thus experiencing decline by the age of fifty.
In essence, this statement means that with moderation in diet, we can live to our natural life span (ancient people believed the natural life span is 120 years). However, modern people do not adhere to this; they often drink alcohol excessively, treat alcohol like water, and engage in intimacy after getting drunk, leading to gradual aging after reaching middle age.
Spouses must remember not to engage in intimacy when intoxicated. Firstly, the body already has a large amount of toxins that have not been expelled while drinking, making it unsuitable for intimate activities. Secondly, engaging in intimacy after drinking excessively harms the internal organs; both men and women’s bodies suffer some damage, therefore it is essential to avoid this practice. Even if you are fond of it, try to restrain yourself as much as possible.
Other behaviors that lead to premature aging:
Concerning the lifestyle and dietary habits of today’s young people, it is easy to understand that staying up late and irregular eating patterns can lead to various diseases. Many people under 50 suffer from hypertension, heart disease, etc., even though they are not old, indicating a lack of understanding of moderation and regular living. They stay up late if they wish, and eat whatever they desire. Let’s now take a look at the behaviors that contribute to premature aging.
Staying up late:
Ancient wisdom states that living without a routine leads to decline after fifty. There are different seasons throughout the year and times during the day, so our lives must be regulated – doing things at the appropriate times. Irregular living inadvertently damages people’s health, particularly staying up late. Normal sleep time should be between 9:00 pm and 10:00 pm, as sleeping late depletes the body’s yang energy, which can lead to premature aging over time.
Uncontrolled eating:
Uncontrolled eating is also a stumbling block to longevity and health. Continuous uncontrolled eating gradually shortens a person’s life. Many people tend to neglect this and eat and drink whatever they desire. Enjoying excessive food when in a good mood and starving oneself when not, this kind of eating behavior often damages the internal organs and can lead to premature aging and various diseases.
Frequent anger:
Anger is a very damaging emotion. Research shows that the body produces a lot of toxins when one is angry, which is detrimental to health. Traditional Chinese medicine also views anger as damaging the internal organs. Continuous anger will indeed lead to premature aging. Nowadays, many couples argue before bedtime; this behavior affects the quality of sleep and can lead to premature aging.
Health needs diligent maintenance, and a long-lived physique needs to be nurtured gradually. Therefore, it is crucial to develop good lifestyle and dietary habits to enhance the body’s health over time.
