How can live for a long time?
Question:
Answers:
Out of the many things that are very important 3 things stand out:
1) Good nutrition
2) Plenty of rest
3) Exercise
Rest and exercise are the things you can control the most. As for nutrition, this takes research and is the most controversial. One thing I can tell you is that not a single person making to 100+ years has ever been recorded with low glutathione levels. Only people with elevated glutathione levels live past 90.
Best of luck
Well, if you have great genes, the old sages used Tonic herbs and practiced Qi Gong meditations.
There is allot of talk about preventative medicine, preventative health care, and healthy aging; but when it comes right down to it, most of that prevention lies in a good diet and excercise. There really aren't allot of additional therapies being promoted to prevent illness and aging. The Chinese were contemplating the affects of aging some 3,000 years ago and started utilizing Tonic Herbs as preventative medicine.
This classification of herbs, called tonics, are superfoods that strengthen the body and promote a long, healthy, vibrant life. They can be taken over a long period of time without any side effects, and support the Three Treasures (Shen, Qi, and Jing). Catherine prefers to use Tonics when possible to treat underlying causes of disease, rather than chasing symptoms.
One of the first Chinese manuals on pharmacology, The Devine Farmers Materia Medica was written by The Taoist master, alchemist and pharmacologist Tao Hongjing who was born in 456. He was also credited with the development of early grain cultivation and practiced under the imperial patronage of Emperor Wu of the Liang dynasty.
Tao Hongjing artfully divided herbs into three categories; the first were the Superior herbs, or Tonic herbs, that were used over a long period of time to strengthen the body and to prevent disease and deterioration. The second were medicinal, or general herbs, used to correct imbalance in the body and to rectify disease patterns. The third classification were inferior, or toxic herbs that had very strong actions on the body and could only be used for short periods.
There are only a handful of Western herbs that can truly be classified as Tonic herbs. Most Western herbs, like Echinacea and goldenseal, are general herbs that are used to correct disease in the body.
In Chinese herbalism, there is a plethora of Tonic herbs that have been used as Superior herbs for thousands of years. They have an incredible empirical track record of helping to prevent coronary disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, liver disease, digestive disorders and so on. These are the same chronic health issues that Western medicine has not been able to address adequately and that many of us struggle with as we age. We must often resort to pharmaceutical medications that, at best, only slow the progression of these diseases, and at worst, create new, serious medical complications.
Recent studies have shown that the human species is designed to live 120 years with the right tools.
Tools being the nutrition it takes to help the body replace a healthy 500 billion or so cells it renews every single day!
We have not evolved much in the last 3000 years but the world has changed to fast and we have not had time to adapt our human bodies. To live to our fullest potential we have to live like the hunters and gatherers of our ancestors.
Keep moving while snacking on a wide variety of fresh plants and fruits only when we are hungry, selecting high quality protiens, grains and nuts and drink plenty of fresh water.
Smoke, caffiene, sugar, alcohol, environmental toxins, stress, cramped working and living conditions, drugs and medication, obesity, are our bodies enemies and only a great healthy diet and lifestyle will get us through them...
