Yokohama has many parks and vast green spaces. There are 226 parks in a small green area, which is very convenient for the elderly. Fresh air is more conducive to the health of the elderly. Every morning, the old people here will play gateball in the park.
Mr. Tadao Iijima, 9 1 year old, is the oldest croquet team. He said that in addition to playing gateball every day, I also teach primary school students to play Japanese drums, and sometimes I work in the fields. Asked the secret of his longevity, he said, I don't like being idle, I like communicating with others, and I like learning.
Careful analysis, in fact, there are many reasons, so what is it? Here may wish to do the following analysis.
First of all, a rich diet
1 Rich seafood: Most of the Changshou villages in Japan are near the sea, where you can eat all kinds of fresh seafood at any time. In particular, marine fish are rich in high protein and unsaturated fatty acids DHA and EPA, which can prevent blood thrombosis and prevent stroke and myocardial infarction. DHA accounts for 10% of brain cells, which is closely related to memory and learning ability, and has a good effect on preventing and treating brain aging.
2 dishes are low in salt and high in protein: Japanese people like to eat light dishes, so-called low-salt and high-protein foods. This diet structure has been recognized by the world as a scientific, reasonable and hygienic eating habit. Conducive to human development and aging, especially for hypertension and stroke. For example, the low-salt pickles that Japanese people like to eat are very different from those in China. Besides less salt, the fermentation time is also short, which is easy to promote digestion.
Second, the environment is excellent.
1 natural environment: Japan has a maritime climate with four distinct seasons.
Because of the fresh air and high-quality water resources by the sea, pollution-free animals and plants can be cultivated, so that people will not be hurt when eating. Especially in greening, Japan can dominate the world, almost everywhere is green, the air is full of negative ions, eyes are not easy to get tired, and the spirit is easy to relax. In spring, cherry blossoms are in full bloom all over the mountain, so that you can feel the beauty of spring in the flowers and whispers; Autumn has come, the weather is fine, and the red maple leaves on the mountain are swaying in the autumn wind, colorful, like a red ocean. All these excellent natural ecological environments contribute to the health and longevity of the Japanese people.
2 Social environment: Japan's social security system is relatively perfect. Medical expenses from small to large are subsidized by the government, and you don't need to pay for them yourself. A serious illness does not require despair or medical expenses.
Since Japan entered the aging society very early, the problem of the elderly has also received the attention of the whole society in time. Due to the increase of the elderly population and the decline of the birth rate, the social problem of separation between the elderly and their children is prominent. For this reason, Japan has successively enacted a series of laws and regulations to protect the rights and interests of the elderly, such as the Health Care Law for the Elderly and the Welfare Law for the Elderly, so that the elderly can basically spend their old age safely.
Third, pay attention to mental health.
1 Yamato spirit is the soul: since ancient times, the Japanese have attached importance to absorbing foreign cultures. Influenced by China traditional culture for a long time. "Harmony is precious" was advocated by Confucius, a great thinker and educator in ancient China, but the Japanese firmly absorbed it for their own use, and regarded it as the first principle of all social communication, and the "spirit of harmony" became the "soul" of the Japanese nation. Japanese people have a strong sense of gregarious, and people always maintain a harmonious relationship.
"Harmony is precious" is the most appropriate way to explain Japan's internal unity. They are also famous for their formidable "collectivity". Although it was defeated, its cohesion increased, which led to the miraculous take-off of Japan's economy. This shows how important national harmony is.
Pay attention to character cultivation: Japan has always had a tradition of paying attention to character cultivation. In recent decades, with the development of science and economy, the education level of the Japanese people has improved and the national quality has been greatly enhanced. For example, being polite, being kind to people, keeping promises, being generous and being serious are the qualities that most Japanese have.
In public places, it is rare to hear loud sounds or noises. There is a mantra in Japan: "Don't disturb others" has become the living standard of the Japanese.
The whole society advocates the spirit of "being content with one's duty and working hard". Many people have strengthened their inner self-cultivation, such as Confucianism's "indifference" and Wen Tianxiang's "integrity", and their endurance in dealing with the world has increased. The motto "Never listen to gossip, never speak ill of others, always have a sincere heart" is almost a household name. These spiritual foods play a positive role in a country's prosperity and people's health and longevity.
Fourth, attach importance to the national movement.
1 Exercise to enhance physical fitness: Japanese people generally attach importance to physical exercise, not to win medals in the future, but to enrich the people and make the country stronger. Doing physical exercise is just a means of exercising. Japan attaches great importance to physical education class from kindergarten to university, and often holds various sports meetings, which not only cultivates a tenacious fighting style, but also strengthens the national physique.
In some kindergartens or primary and secondary schools in Japan, groups of children can often be seen jogging barefoot around the playground or along the corridor under the guidance of teachers. This is the "barefoot" training in Japan. They have paid attention to their children's physical exercise and hard-working spirit since childhood. Why can't this attract the attention of our school?
Old people are not old enough to exercise: every morning or evening in Japan, thousands of people flock to sports fields and wilderness to engage in jogging, tennis, volleyball, baseball, badminton, table tennis, football and other sports. This good consciousness and spirit of strengthening the national physique has laid a good foundation for the health of every Japanese. Japanese elderly people are generally unwilling to accept their old age, and often organize various team competitions spontaneously. They also like to go to the street and insist on riding bicycles instead of driving to the suburbs for hiking.
When they take the subway, they often have to change to two or three trams to get there. Although there are escalators to ride, the elderly like to go up and down stairs to exercise their leg strength. Japanese old people also like to travel, especially to soak in hot springs. Because hot springs with different water qualities have good curative effects on different diseases, especially nervous system diseases and skin diseases, frequent hot springs can also lubricate the skin.
Hot spring tourism is the most popular sport in Japan. Dayong Valley in Tomoto, Hakone-machi is a crater, and now it often spews some sulfur-containing gas. The local people put the eggs in the sulfur hole, and it took only three minutes for the eggs to become thick black. The locals call this kind of black-shelled egg "black jade". It is said that eating a "black jade seed" can prolong life for seven years. Can you believe it? How many people can buy it!
Therefore, if you want to live a long life, it is better to experience it carefully and see life. What needs to be improved?
