Therefore, it is not feasible for Zhao Chaogang to use his power to attract martial artists to continuously invest their energy in practicing martial arts. Money, beauty, and strength are not feasible, so what is feasible? Soon, Zhao Chaogang found this feasible thing. So what is this thing? It’s very simple, this thing is human lifespan. People’s pursuit of longevity is divided into men and women, some high and low, some old and young. Whether they are men or women, beggars, or the world’s richest man, their pursuit of longevity is the same. Why do people constantly pursue longevity, whether they are emperors or beggars? The reason is very simple, that is, people are afraid of death. So why do people fear death? In a word: People's fear of death comes from people's weakness for unknown pain. Because no one has ever died, and those who have died cannot convey the experience of death, so death is always unknown to people, and people’s fear comes from the unknown of things, so whether it is the pain before death or the death of The pain in the end is an unknown pain, and this unknown pain leads to mankind's eternal fear of death. There are several reasons why people fear death: 1. The instinct of survival Survival is one of the most primitive instincts of our human body. It will notify people with pain when there is a crisis in the human body. When life is in danger, it will notify people with pain. Fear and avoidance are all signals to avoid threats to life and to inform people to improve their bodies. Death is naturally the biggest threat to life, which means the end of life. Therefore, the instinct of survival makes people fear death. 2. Fear of "known" and "unknown" "Known" fear is the fear caused by the results of events that people see, hear or feel. "Unknown" fear is the fear that people have because they don't know what is going to happen and what the outcome of the event will be. Because everything is unknown, people have a fear of death. 3. Reluctance and reluctance in life Facing death, people have a lot of reluctance to let go of real life and unwillingness to realize their ideals. Because of this, terminally ill patients have not yet reached the age of end of life, and they still have time to continue to create their own lives and realize their own values ??and ideals, but they have to say goodbye to all this in the near future. No one wants to face this kind of reluctance and unwillingness, and no one wants to experience it personally. So I'm afraid of death, or more accurately I don't want to die. Visible. Facing death is really a very scary thing, so many elderly people choose to avoid it when facing it. For the elderly with terminal illness, they are in the cruel torture of three intertwined reasons. We should understand And help them is. Modern psychologists have discovered that the biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans are afraid of things that do not exist - they themselves find this phenomenon strange because they do not know where this fear comes from. Exploring this question is very meaningful, and it can touch the secret passages of the soul more effectively than we can explore a work. According to the British theologian James Murray, "Many fears come from our incomprehension of the world we live in. From the control this world has over us.", "In order to realize The first thing we need to do to live a perfect life is to gain the power to control fear. "In modern society, fear is torturing us more and more powerfully, to the point where everyone cannot avoid it. In the British Empire in the 19th century. Poet and essayist Mai Erci said that he would ask the question: "Is the universe friendly to humans?" This unanswered question has troubled many people who think they are smart and makes people feel more aware of the world. of impermanence. It is precisely because of the limitation and insignificance of human beings that there is a huge gap compared to the unfathomableness of the universe and the world. This makes people fear many things that they cannot understand. For example, to this day, many people in China naively believe that the numbers “four” and “thirteen” will bring them bad luck. It can be seen how fragile and helpless people are in the face of the impermanence of the world. There are many specific things that are also threatening human survival, making people have to be afraid. For example, suffering, or mental trauma, is everywhere in our lives, not to mention the bloody and dark passages in human history. Right now, poverty of thought. Emotions are decadent, love is on the way. The noble spirit is withdrawing from secular life, the increase in violence, the ubiquitous nuclear threat, etc., have pushed mankind to the brink of danger. This world full of problems is not something that humans can easily bear. The "Superman" predicted by Nitze was not born, but modern people are suffering from the "superman"This is the reason why they are afraid and desperate. Let us think back to Atlas in classical mythology! He can carry the world on his shoulders on the Atlas Mountains on the coast of North Africa. Take a walk, and He does it effortlessly because He is Atlas! But if He put the world on our shoulders, we would be crushed immediately because we are just an ordinary person and cannot bear it This burden is also true for spiritual issues. Since the Renaissance, man has been established as the center of the universe and the ultimate in existence. Man has begun to be responsible for his own survival. This is like carrying the world on Atlas's shoulders. The same as on the shoulders, they will eventually be crushed - people will have to pay the price for what they have done, just like the Jews had to pay the price of the concentration camp for killing Jesus of Zaragoza. , it can be said that everyone is paying the price. Existential frustrations have brought the severity of survival to everyone. In Freud’s era, what humans encountered was only sexual frustration, but now it has become survival. The frustration seems even more serious. Perhaps this is how the tragedy began: as a limited being, humans are simply unable to bear everything for themselves. Now recalling the situation when the ancient saints knelt before God and prayed, they could put away all the worries and worries in their hearts. How happy it is to confide pain and misfortune to the Supreme One, to shed sad tears to Him, and to entrust the unbearable burden of survival to Him! However, human beings in the twentieth century chose the path of self-responsibility. Abandoning the sacred faith, who can comfort us except people's self-pity? When we read Van Gogh's letters to his lover, we will feel that this lonely painter is in such need of love and love. Consolation; Picasso, the master of cubism painting, used three-dimensional painting all his life, abstracting people into some lines and squares. However, he painted his wife and lover full of humanity, which shows that Picasso Hope finds comfort in these portraits of lovers; in a letter to his lover, Freud wrote: “Little Princess, when you come to me. Please love me irrationally!" This shows that Freud also longs to be comforted in love, but it is terrible for him to say such things. Freud believes that sex is everything The ultimate goal is that he does not believe in the existence of love in theory, because as a person, he has an original essence of longing for true love, which will curse Floyd's sexual orientation. The central thought. When he said the words "Please love me irrationally", the shock he received could probably be described as fear and trembling. Van Gogh, Picasso, and Freud. -I-De's example points out a common fact: people are separated from themselves, that is, the separation of existence and essence. What I say is different from what I think. It is different from what I would like to think. These facts of separation have plunged Van Gogh, Picasso, Kaufman, Freud and others into deep fear and despair. Make yourself the kind of person you want to be. What’s more serious is that the cultural environment in which everyone lives seems to be a huge cocoon. This cocoon prevents people from communicating smoothly with others. One result of the impossibility of communication with oneself (not communication in the general sense, but communication between personalities) is that everyone’s self becomes lonely. , real loneliness. Recalling Anthony O'Neal's movie "Play Up", the whole film is full of the sound of the camera shutter, and there is almost no dialogue, even then. There are several scenes of irrational performances by models, and there is no hint of communication. In the end, a man wearing a mask plays tennis alone without an opponent. At this time, the camera keeps zooming out. The number of people continues to shrink until an empty stadium is left. This film, like another film by Anthony O'Neal, "Red Desert", fully expresses the loneliness of modern people. , indifferent, empty scenes without communication and comfort. Film masters of the same period, such as Ferry Ni and Ing-Mab G-Man, almost all expressed this theme to reveal the universal spiritual dilemma of mankind. When people appear in the artist's vision like this, they must contain the artist's deep fear of the world and himself. Boswell said: "There is no emotion more distressing than fear." ;Fear makes us miserable and makes us despicable in our own eyes. "Mont-Tian Ze said: "Fear is even more abominable and unbearable than death itself. "Here, fear means loss of dignity. "Dangka-fu-Ka Zai wrote in the novel "The Cave" that when the little animal pricked up its ears and listened nervously to the movement outside the cave, he had already reached the abyss of loneliness and fear. In 1962, Ing-Mab G-Man finished filming the famous film "Silence" and said that he discovered an important fact: God is no longer there, and now there is only silence in the world. Faced with this fact, Bergman was very frightened. Afterwards, he told reporters that he wrote the script "Silence" while listening to Bach's music. I think Bergmann was using Bach’s music to ward off his inner fears. Let us think back to Coppola's famous film "Modern Revelation". "I" walked on a river that seemed to never end, and I became more and more afraid of the facts I was about to face. When "I" saw the officer (played by Malone Bailan-Do) hiding in the forest who refused to fight, fear drove "I" to raise a knife and chop at the officer, hoping to relieve the inner pressure. At this time, the only thing on the screen was the officer writhing in pain in a pool of blood, and his low, desperate cry: "Fear! Fear!" Coppola lets us see how much war has damaged human nature. Fear, it is deeper than fear. Fear is faced with a specific object. Fear, like anxiety, may be objectless and boundless. Being attacked (such as a tiger charging at you) will cause fear, but mental damage will lead to fear and eventually despair. Fear is about the present, while fear can occur for the future and the unknown. So, how does fear occur? Or why do people fear that a pig is going to be killed at night? It can still eat happily at noon, but humans cannot do this because humans worry about the future. If there is no security in the future, no happiness brought by comfort, and no communication between personalities, people will not be able to find a suitable position for their own existence. Once he steps out of his place of existence, anything may threaten him. Without a greater protector, and oneself unreliable, where does comfort come from? People have elevated themselves to the center of the universe, but they cannot control their own destiny. In the face of such a serious survival situation, fear is inevitable. Before exploring the reasons for fear, let’s first talk about the basic form of fear. Fear has many faces. But to sum up, there are roughly three forms: 1. Fear of impersonal things; 2. Fear of "non-existence"; 3. Fear of death. Maybe we can think of some other forms of fear, but the above three actually cover the vast majority of fear types. Fear also varies in intensity, some are weak, some are strong enough to lead to despair, and some are somewhere in between. Many modern people have experienced this terrible darkness and have developed a philosophy of despair. Fear is also characterized by trembling. It shows that people have endured more than they can bear, so that their psychology acts as a sense of security. Lost support. In the face of existential threats, people need a greater protector. The reason why people are afraid of "impersonal things" is. Since everyone's self has become a cocoon, sealing themselves off from others. Man can no longer understand the existence outside himself, he ignores the divine existence, and no longer imagines the perfection in human existence. In fact, man's own existence is open, and he longs to unite with higher beings to make up for his own shortcomings. Therefore, the East has the idea of ??"the unity of nature and man", and the West has the idea of ??"the harmony of God and man". Inspiration. The ancient Chinese emphasized that "man" must be unified, harmonious, consistent and harmonious with "Heaven". The so-called "together with heaven and earth, praise and educate", but there is no divine reality corresponding to "Heaven" in Chinese thought. "Heaven" "It seems very empty, and in the end, the "unity of man and nature" was understood as "the humanization of nature", and the result is "man", not "heaven"; "Heaven" in Western thought is God, Christ, who gives life The Holy Spirit, "the blending of God and man" refers to the encounter in time between the divinity of the Triune God and the humanity it redeems. They are the two natures of God and man, represented by the "incarnate" Jesus Christ, and their ultimate unity. It is one with "heaven" (God) - "new heaven, new earth, new Jerusalem". Now, in this era of blasphemous materialism, both East and West no longer worship "heaven", but passionately pursue earthly things, and human existence is completely closed to the divine existence. This repressive nature of existence makes people put on blinders and start to understand themselves from a human perspective. As a result, the more modern people understand their own humanity, the more they discover that?It is difficult to identify and has no connotation, so they begin to fear the "impersonal" things of people. Their fear is justified. This is why the more modern artists want to know people, the less status they have in their works. In fact, the ancient Greek saying "Know thyself" originally meant "Remember: you will die!" However, modern people have misunderstood this sentence. There is an example that may illustrate the problem. Children are usually very afraid of being left alone in a dark and "impersonal" room. No matter how much people comfort them, it will not help. However, in Western countries with Christian traditions, parents will say to their children: "Don't be afraid, because God is here too." .” This is a simple and wonderful truth. Because God, who is personal, infinite, present, past and future, truly exists, similarly personal people no longer need to fear “impersonal” things. Many psychologists use this method. Pragmatically showing belief in "the existence of God" can help the sick to some extent. ? Carl Jung often told his patients. Psychological fear can be dealt with by living "as if" God were present in all aspects of life. Eight days before Jung's death, in his last interview with a reporter, he talked about what he considered God to be; "Anything that cuts into my will from outside me, or that emerges from my collective subconscious. ” His advice was to call it “God” and surrender to “him.” Why was Jung able to heal many people in this way? Because the existence of God dispels the fear of "impersonal things" in people's hearts. It is too real. The second basic fear is that of non-existence. Why are many people today afraid of "non-existence"? Since it does not exist, what can be used to trigger people's fear? Because modern people generally do not know the origin and end of all things. They don't know where they come from. The unpredictable doctrines and existence itself make them feel at a loss. “Moreover, most modern people believe that all things, the world, and people were created by accident and chance. This denies necessity and dominance, and naturally leads to cognitive confusion. Since everything is caused by chance, everything has infinite possibilities: the possibility of existence may become non-existence in one moment, and the non-existence may become existence in another moment. How can this be true? Will there be a sense of security? Existence is meaningless because it lacks an immovable foundation. People are naturally afraid of "non-existence". The third basic fear is the fear of death. This fear is the most obvious and the most devastating. "Remember: you will die!" It is a cruel fact for everyone. Death is so unquestionable. Augustine said: "Everything is uncertain. Only death is certain." The power of death will cancel the meaning of all living things: every living person is dying, preparing to die, and will eventually enter the world without exception. In the arms of death. Since I am destined to die, and death is not under my control, it may come to me at any time, so what is the meaning of my life? The fear of death is actually questioning the meaning of life. It is almost the most fundamental thing that confuses all philosophers. question. There must be too few people who look forward to death as a blessing like Socrates, because what it requires is the courage to devote oneself to the truth. Plato’s thought originated from the uncompromising death of Socrates. For Socrates, dialogue with truth—speaking of the Logos—enabled him to ignore the certain horrific nature of death. Even when the person in charge of poison warned Socrates to speak as little as possible, otherwise the poison would take effect more slowly. When it was necessary to take two to three portions, Socrates replied, and prepare the poisonous wine, "you might as well take two to three portions." Socrates defeated the fear of death. However, people in this era have lost the pursuit of "Tao". What else can he use to resist this fear? Fear means a threat, the threat of time to us, and the self-threat posed by the deficiencies of the self, which are associated with sin, for “the wages of sin is death.” In the book "Genesis", after Adam ate the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he endured God's curse: "You will surely die!" This shows that man's fall fell into the constraints of time, and death means Time places limits on people. The threat of time is not only that it will end our lives, but what is even more frightening is that it may use a violent method to execute this ending in advance, such as disease, disaster, etc. ??Every person has a desire to be infinite and achieve eternity in his heart (having children, writing books and writing is to extend his life), which makes people hope that death will come later., in fact, people are unable to do this, and the fear of death arises, because it is an uninvited guest that may knock on the door at any time. Another reason for fear of death is that people are unable to take responsibility for their actions in life. People’s conscience longs for righteousness and holiness, but there is no goodness in people. When they live in sin, people have the pain of self-condemnation for righteousness. Because man cannot face death with his own holy consciousness. The fear of death is actually the fear of judgment after death. So how can we alleviate fear and gain the power to control fear? I think the first thing is that people must realize their own limitations and shortcomings. So as to maintain awe of the unknown world, rather than hastily regarding oneself as the ultimate. Thinking that I can bear everything. The real situation is that man is placed in a world that he cannot control. He can no longer break out of the cocoon of fear on his own strength. He must admit that man cannot survive by himself. He must believe that there is a better person in this world. We are our own greater being, and only with this greater survivor guarding human existence can the meaning of human life be confirmed, and only by this can we overcome our attachment to "impersonal things." The fear of "non-existence" and "death". This fact will become more and more acute, because mankind has reached an extremely fragile situation at the end of the century. He can no longer find the confidence in himself that he had in previous eras. In other words, many cruel facts in history have already It proves that when humans lose the protection of a larger being, it is possible for humans to become as brutal as animals and do whatever they want. In this situation, it is not surprising that people feel fear, but it is necessary to completely eliminate the fear and uneasiness in a person's heart. Unless this person becomes a citizen of another world - a citizen of the eternal world. This world will give him new and more valuable strength, give him confidence, and give him courage. Successfully liberating him from the world of fear. This is indeed a secret, James Reid said: "It was in this eternal world that Christ discovered the secret of fearlessness. He knew that neither natural disasters nor human cruelty could touch him in the world in which he lived. Things in the eternal world. In this eternal world, nothing will be threatened by water and fire, because the power of water and fire will never reach this realm. " Pascal in "Thoughts". It seems to be more clear: "Real fear comes from faith; false fear comes from doubt. Real fear is accompanied by hope because it comes from faith, and because people fear the gods they believe in. The former fears Losing God. The latter is afraid of finding God.” Indeed, fear in the ultimate sense. It is not simply fear, nor is it an emotion. It is related to the origin of our existence. As long as people have a sense of existence, as long as they are unwilling to live, as long as they have not stopped thinking, they will face this problem sooner or later, because it is so real and cannot be avoided. Precisely because of these fears of death, whether people are men or women, beggars or the richest man in the world, their pursuit of longevity is the same. Taoism regards immortality as the symbol of immortality. During the Qin Dynasty, the alchemist Xu Fu sought the elixir of immortality for Qin Shihuang and went to sea to find the immortals on the immortal mountains in Penglai and Yingzhou. The result was nowhere to be found. In Taoism, there is a school that specializes in refining elixirs and taking medicine (including refining inner elixirs), and the purpose is also to achieve immortality. There are also immortal immortals in ancient West Asian-Su-Mei-Er mythology, Western-Kelt mythology, Nordic mythology, and Irish folklore. The gods in Norwegian mythology may die of old age, and the harvest goddess Idun (ieunn) is responsible for taking care of the magic apples that can make the gods immortal. Not to mention humans, even animals have an extremely strong primitive desire to survive. Immortality has always been the longing of human beings. For this reason, there have long been myths and legends about immortality in the world. There are many myths and legends about immortality. There was once a rumor that during the Shennong period, a man named Chisongzi took an elixir of immortality called "Bingyu San", so he could enter the fire without melting. , went up to heaven and earth with the wind and rain, and later became the god in charge of praying for rain. The youngest daughter of Emperor Yan followed him, became an immortal, and ascended to heaven together. In the legend of Pengzu, it is said that Pengzu lived for 800 years. Peng Zu is a legendary figure in China who is said to have lived for more than 880 years. My wife has been married to more than a hundred people, and her face is still rosy and her energy is high. His last wife wanted to know why. He said coquettishly to Peng Zu: "Although I am young, my health is not as good as yours. Please tell me the secret of longevity, so that we can stay together forever." Peng Zu looked at his beloved wife who was as beautiful as a flower and jade, and was happy for a moment. Just say: "Tell youIt's useless, it was the Lord of Hell who accidentally tore my name off the book of life and death and made it into a paper twist, so I'm alive until now. "Actually, the King of Hell had been paying attention to Peng Zu for a long time. But he couldn't find his name, so he sent two imps to wash charcoal in the river in the village where Peng Zu lived. It happened that Peng Zu's wife went down to the river to wash clothes. I saw two people washing charcoal, and they were mumbling: "Wash the black charcoal, wash the black charcoal, wash the white charcoal and sell it for money." "Peng Zu's wife said: "My husband-in-law has lived for eight hundred and eighty years, and he has never heard that black charcoal can whiten the skin. " The two little ghosts said they didn't believe it, so Peng Zu's wife told them the secret of Peng Zu's longevity. The little ghost immediately reported it to the King of Hell. When the King of Hell found the paper twister, he sent a ghost to lure Peng Zu away. The common people probably felt very sorry for this, so they spread a saying: "Peng Zu lived for eight hundred and eighty years and could not tell the truth to his wife." He was 930 years old, and gave birth to his son Seth when he was 130 years old. His son Seth also had children when he was 807 years old, and he lived to be 912 years old. It is a legend, not a fact, so immortality has always been a vague and mysterious thing in the minds of ancient people. Longevity is the pursuit of almost every nation in the world. Even powerful emperors such as Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han could not. Scientists from the American Academy of Sciences and Engineering discovered that people over 100 years old have something in common. Scientists say that this discovery can help find ways to slow down human aging. People can be infinitely plastic and adaptable. How long does it take for a person to live longer? Ancient books record that a person’s natural lifespan (day life) should be more than a hundred years old. Zhang Jiebin of the Ming Dynasty’s "Lei Jing Juan 1 Health Preservation Class 1" notes: "A person who is 100 years old is the general number of days. "The common saying is "a hundred years later", which refers to death. In our traditional culture, some interesting longevity names are rarely known. Xishou: seventy-seven years old, because the cursive script of "xi" is similar to the vertical "seventy-seven". It is called Mi Shou: eighty-eight years old, because the word "rice" is exactly the number "eighty-eight", so it is called Bai Shou: ninety-nine years old, because the word "白" is missing the "one" in the word "hundred". Therefore, it is called Tea Longevity: one hundred and eight years, because the cursive prefix of the character tea is double "ten", which when added together is "twenty", the "person" in the middle is divided into "eight", and the "wood" at the bottom is "eight". The sum of "ten" and "eight" is "eighteen". The middle and bottom are connected together to form "eighty-eight", plus the "twenty" at the beginning, the total is "one hundred and eight", so it is called. The classic Chinese medicine book "Su Wen Ancient Innocence Theory" says: "I have heard that people in ancient times lived a hundred years in the Spring and Autumn Period, and their movements did not decline. Therefore, those who can live to be a hundred years old without losing any strength can hope that their integrity will not be in danger. " "Lingshu Tiannian" says: "Huang Di said: People live to be a hundred years old and die. Why? At the age of a hundred, all the five internal organs are weak, the spirit and energy are gone, and the body and body live alone and die. ""Hong Fan" of Shangshu says: "Five blessings: one is longevity. "Biography" ("Note") of Kong Anguo of Han Dynasty says: "One hundred and twenty years." "The "Justice" ("Shu") written by Kong Yingda and others of the Tang Dynasty said: "The life span of a person is limited to a hundred years. There are people whose longevity is said to be "one hundred and twenty years", so the "Biography" uses the longest one and may not have a main text. "Also, the ancients divided the length of life into upper, middle and lower grades, but the specific ages are different. "Zuo Zhuan, the 32nd Year of Duke Xi" says: "How do you know? In the middle of your life, the wood of your tomb is arched. " "Justice" by Kong Yingda and others of Tang Dynasty says: "The upper life span is a hundred and twenty years, the middle life span is a hundred years, and the lower life span is eighty years. " "Health Sutra" says: "Huang Di said: The upper life span is a hundred and twenty, the middle life span is a hundred years, and the lower life span is eighty years. "Zhuangzi Piozhi" says: "A person's lifespan is one hundred years old, eighty years old, and sixty years old." " "Taiping Jing Jie Cheng Du Jue" says: "Mortals have three lifespans, which correspond to the three qi, the sun, taiyin, and neutrality. The upper life span is one hundred and twenty, the middle life span is eighty years, and the lower life span is sixty years. "The Tenth Annals of Lu's Spring and Autumn and Mengdong Chronicles" says: "A person's lifespan will not be more than a hundred for a long time, and his lifespan will not be more than sixty." ” It seems that the lower limit of 60 years old as the age of longevity is too low, and most people do not necessarily agree with it. Although people over 100 years old exist, they are rare. 80 years old is the minimum age for longevity, and most people can agree and accept it. There are many Chinese paintings that wish longevity, good luck and health, including Qi Baishi's "Longevity Picture", Wu Changshuo's "Song and Crane", Zhu Xuanxian's "Longevity" and "Longevity Peach", Lou Shibai's "Longevity Picture", etc. Longevity is the life that people have always pursued. state, and people are living longerThere is also constant research and discovery on the road. It turns out that there are many things that contribute to longevity in the details of people’s lives, and doing more of them on a daily basis is very good for the body. Longevity is a topic that people are always concerned about. The American "Times Weekly" website recently published new research on longevity, pointing out more factors that affect life span. A strong sense of responsibility leads to a longer life. An 8-year study shows that among various personality traits, conscientiousness is the most conducive to longevity. Stanford University researchers say that being careful, being patient and well-planned, and being a bit obsessive like the researchers, all contribute to longevity. This type of people are conscientious in doing things and can often make correct choices in all aspects of marriage, work, and health. They are less likely to die accidentally due to reasons such as smoking, racing, or not following medical advice. Diet determines life and death. Researchers have found that the Mediterranean diet, which includes more fruits, vegetables, nuts, and healthy fats such as olive oil, is a way of eating that helps you live longer. A healthy diet can reduce the risk of heart disease in older adults and even prevent memory loss. Genetics has an impact. If parents live long, their children may not live long as well, but they will inherit some benefits from their parents. Recently, the "British Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine" reported that the reason why some people are less sick may be that the brain secretes more certain chemicals such as serotonin and dopamine than ordinary people. This is due to genetics. . Educational level affects life span. Statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that people with a bachelor's degree or higher live about nine years longer than those who have not graduated from high school. Smith, a health economist at RAND Corporation, said that people with higher education are more likely to find good jobs, so they can make long-term plans for life and choose a healthier lifestyle. ? ?Work hard and live a long life. It is often said that stress is harmful to the body, but hard work does not mean that it will harm the body. New research finds that people who work hard and enjoy themselves (even in retirement) are not miserable but are happier, healthier and have closer social connections than their passive counterparts. ? Psychic influence. One study tested people who participated in a three-month retreat and found that the activity of telomerase in their cells was on average about 30% higher than that of the control group. Being too optimistic is bad for your health. A cheerful personality usually gives the impression of being carefree, less stressed, and seems to be healthier. However, researchers point out that "optimistic thinking" may not necessarily bring longevity. If a person is too optimistic, especially when facing illness or recovery, it is easy to ignore the risks. Longevity is inseparable from social interaction. Women tend to have wider social networks, which is one reason women live longer than men. Seeking care from friends, family, work, and society can help reduce stress and even improve immune function. Sitting for long periods of time shortens your lifespan. One study found that after age 25, every additional hour of television watching (sitting) deducts 22 minutes from overall life expectancy.
