In Lao Li's home, the wake-up ceremony every morning is always simple and warm.
He was not in a hurry like a young man and was not disturbed by the ringing of an alarm clock.
Rather, it was the natural light and the natural awakening of the body that led him to start his day.
Lao Li will first do a few simple stretches in bed to let the body gradually recover from sleep.
He took a deep breath and felt the expansion of his chest cavity and the circulation of air, as if even the air was filled with health and vitality.
After getting up, Lao Li will not immediately go to the kitchen to find food to fill his empty stomach.
He knows that after a night's rest, it takes a little time for his body to adjust to the transition from sleep to wakefulness.
Therefore, he will start by drinking a glass of warm water to help clear the intestines and promote the body's metabolism.
Then, he would sit in front of the window, hold a beloved book in his hand, and read quietly.
At this moment, time seems to stand still, and only the dialogue between words and hearts flows slowly.
1. No dizziness, smooth blood in the morning
As mentioned at the beginning of the article, Lao Li never felt dizzy after waking up.
This is thanks to the healthy lifestyle he has adhered to over the years.
He is well aware that geriatric diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia are often closely related to poor lifestyle habits.
Therefore, he strictly controlled his diet, less oil and less salt, ate more vegetables and fruits, and maintained a balanced nutrition.
At the same time, he also insists on walking every day, doing tai chi and other light exercises to enhance the body's immunity and resistance.
These seemingly insignificant habits have brought him tangible health benefits.
Lao Li's blood pressure has been kept within the normal range, which allows him to feel the smooth flow of qi and blood when he gets up.
He believes that only when the internal environment of the body is harmonious and stable can the goal of longevity be truly achieved.
Therefore, he always pays attention to his physical condition and will seek medical examination as soon as he notices any discomfort to ensure that he is always in a healthy state.
2. No chest tightness and shortness of breath, the beginning of free breathing
In addition to stable blood pressure, Lao Li's respiratory system is also very healthy.
He has never felt tightness in his chest and shortness of breath, and he can breathe smoothly and freely even in the cold winter.
This is due to his long-term insistence on breathing exercises and lung maintenance. Lao Li knows that the lungs are one of the important organs of the body, which is responsible for transporting oxygen to all parts of the body.
If the lung function is impaired, it will directly affect the overall health level of the body.
In order to maintain the health and vitality of his lungs, Lao Li does deep breathing exercises every day.
He would find a quiet place to sit down, close his eyes, inhale slowly, let his abdomen bulge, and then exhale slowly to return his abdomen to its original shape.
This simple action helps him expand his lungs, increase his lung capacity, and expel exhaust gases and toxins from his body.
In addition, he regularly participates in outdoor activities such as hiking and jogging to strengthen the adaptability and resistance of his lungs.
3. No joint pain, flexible morning
Joint pain is a common problem for older people.
However, Lao Li has never had such troubles.
His joints are flexible, as if the years have not left too many marks on his body.
This is due to the careful maintenance and exercise of his joints over the years.
Lao Li knows that joints are an important part of connecting bones and are also the key to physical activity.
If the joints are damaged, it will directly affect the quality of daily life.
Therefore, he does some stretching and movement of his joints every day to maintain his flexibility and stability.
For example, he will do some simple gymnastic movements, such as arm swings, kicks, etc., to move the joints of the upper and lower limbs;
He also uses some auxiliary tools such as yoga balls and elastic bands to strengthen the joints to enhance their stability and endurance.
In addition, Lao Li also attaches great importance to keeping warm.
He knows that cold is the natural enemy of joints, and if exposed to low temperatures for a long time, it is easy to cause cold, stiffness and even pain in the joints.
Therefore, he wears warm clothing in winter, gloves, scarves and other protective measures to protect his joints from the cold.
4. No strong hunger, comfortable stomach and intestines in the morning
For many people, the first thing they do when they wake up in the morning is to find food to fill their empty stomach.
However, Lao Li has never felt like this. His stomach and intestines are very comfortable, as if he is still enjoying the peace and relaxation of sleep.
This is due to the good eating habits and gastrointestinal maintenance methods he has developed over the years.
Lao Li knows that diet is the foundation of health, and only by eating right and eating well can we truly achieve the goal of longevity.
Therefore, he eats on time every day, does not overeat, and does not eat excessively greasy or irritating foods.
He will choose light and easy-to-digest foods such as porridge, noodles, vegetables, etc. to reduce the burden on his stomach.
At the same time, he will also consume some foods rich in protein and fiber, such as eggs, milk, soy products, etc., to provide the nutrients and energy needed by the body.
The secret of longevity: comprehensive health preservation, both internal and external
To sum up, the reason why Lao Li can maintain a healthy and long life is inseparable from his comprehensive health lifestyle and the health concept of both internal and external cultivation.
He pays attention to the nutritional balance of the diet and the maintenance of the stomach and intestines;
Adhere to moderate exercise and joint flexibility training;
Pay attention to the stability of blood pressure and the smoothness of breathing;
All while maintaining mental health and a positive attitude towards life.
These habits and methods are intertwined and mutually reinforcing, and together they form the cornerstone of his long and healthy life.
Of course, everyone's physical condition and living environment are different, so we can't simply copy Lao Li's health experience to ourselves.
However, we can draw some useful inspiration and reference from it, and formulate a suitable health plan based on our own actual situation.
As long as we can adhere to a healthy lifestyle, maintain a positive attitude and an optimistic mental state, we will be able to have a healthy and long life like Lao Li.
Finally, let us take Lao Li as an example, pay attention to our physical health and mental health from now on, and strive to practice a comprehensive health lifestyle and a health concept of both internal and external cultivation.
I believe that in the near future, we will also be able to feel the beauty and hope of life in the morning sunshine like Lao Li!
