By Lilia

Just imagine: you are 80, still cheerful, young, full of energy and strength. 

A few simple daily methods and techniques for pleasure – and you are already 90, your joints are still mobile, your mind is sharp and your skin is smooth and supple. 

Finally, the age-old joke that it is difficult to live only the first 100 years is not a joke at all, but your life! 

Moreover, unlike other centenarians, you do not even think about leaving for another world soon, on the contrary, you are perfectly prepared for life. do you believe

Nature is merciless to aging lazy people, that’s an axiom. 

To live long and carefree, the body needs constant stimulation of its reserves, and longevity methods developed by specialists and aimed at extending life will help anyone who practices them regularly and consciously to live to 100 and more years. 

If you don’t want to get old, train your reserves!

LIFE EXTENSION

Dosed fasting

Voluntarily and completely refuse food for a while. 

The goal of this method is the transition to internal reserves, restoration of vitality, prolongation of life, but this is possible only under the condition of a one-time complete cessation of nutrition using only pure water.

Do not be afraid, with full, voluntary, but short-term starvation, food from your own reserves fully satisfies all the needs of the body. 

And how to fast correctly and effectively, you can read in Paul Bragg’s book “The Miracle of Fasting”.

“Every week I do a 24- or 36-hour fast. I also fast for 7-10 days four times a year. Over the years, when I follow this schedule and keep myself in great shape, I live like a “living dynamo”. 

My day is busier than another person’s year. I have unlimited energy, I never get tired, I never feel sleepy. 

I am constantly active both mentally and physically. I have enough time and energy for everything, ”Breg writes in his book.

Oxygen starvation

The complete lack of oxygen in the body leads to its inevitable death, but short-term hypoxia is a kind of therapy. 

A slight lack of oxygen causes the heart to beat faster and harder, pumping more blood to vital organs.

As a result of significant hypoxia, blood vessels dilate, the mass of lung tissue increases, new capillaries are formed, the number of red blood cells increases, hormone production increases, and the general energy level increases. 

Hypoxia can be achieved in many ways: by practicing breathing exercises or, for example, going out more often in the mountains.

Information hunger

We will not advise you to give up gadgets, TV and books, because nature has provided for everything, giving you the opportunity once a day to take a break from the endless flow of information from the outside. 

You can’t see, you can’t hear, you can’t smell, your taste and touch receptors are resting because you are sleeping.

A dark room with good ventilation, soundproofing, a comfortable temperature and a comfortable bed are the keys to healthy sleep, excellent self-esteem and a good mood.

A person is an irritant to another person, and therefore a way to limit the flow of outside information is to allow yourself to be alone from time to time. 

Loneliness is a kind of information hunger, and not being able to be alone at least occasionally can lead to serious mental disorders.

Muscle training

Do you want to keep your muscles healthy and strong into old age? 

Be so good as to do all these regularly. 

Walk, swim, run, dance, go to the gym or do yoga – do whatever, just move. 

Movement is life, it is the basis of stability not only of the musculoskeletal system, but also of the organism as a whole.

Intellectual training

The billions of cells in your brain that constantly process and carefully store the most valuable information must be charged with regular intellectual work. 

Who needs an 80-year-old man with dementia?

The long-lived is an eternal student, otherwise, because without constant mental development, longevity loses all meaning. 

The best thing you can do is learn everything you can and never stop.

Mental training

Is it possible to live a long and happy life without a stable and trained psyche? 

You can be long-lived in a world of stress and upheaval only by mastering yourself to perfection, and properly selected psychotraining will help you in this.

In our opinion, the Kue method is very simple and effective: before going to bed and after waking up, mentally repeat the self-hypnosis phrase, for example: 

“I am long-lived, I am young, cheerful and energetic” or “I am happy and healthy.” 

It is at this time that the power of self-hypnosis has the greatest influence and the body readily obeys the set goals.

Thermoregulatory training

It is possible and necessary to train the mechanisms of heat production and heat transfer, it is only necessary to artificially change the temperature of the environment from time to time. 

So, for cold stimulation it is recommended to wear light clothes and take air baths even in the cool season, wash your face and feet with cool water, walk barefoot, periodically attend cryotherapy sessions, as well as practice swimming in cold leads.

For thermal stimulation, a bath or sauna, a hot shower, warm blankets and digging in hot sand are ideal.

Massage

It is difficult to overestimate the benefits of massage – it is rest and recovery, a harmless effect on the most vulnerable points of the body, it is often much more effective than traditional medicine. 

You have probably already read our useful article on the zu-san-li point or see:  the point of a hundred diseases , regular massage of which helps to heal and rejuvenate the whole body. And if you haven’t read it, start!

Bloodletting

Bloodletting is one of the most effective longevity techniques. 

This method is both ingenious and banal: you brazenly take away from the body part of its most valuable resource – blood, and it, in turn, immediately restores the losses.

At the same time, the systems of hematopoiesis and nutrition, thermoregulation and water-salt metabolism are excellently stimulated, the endocrine and immune systems work, the mechanisms for restoring reserves are activated. 

Bloodletting is especially useful for women who have entered menopause, as well as for men after 25 years.

Your eternal enemies – cold, hunger, fatigue, blood loss – in the system of training prescribed above become your best friends. 

Remember that all loads must be adequate and moderate: nervousness, unpleasant fatigue, apathy, sleep and appetite disorders indicate that you have slightly overdone your attempts to master the secrets of longevity. 

But pleasant fatigue, positive mood and excellent health are signs that the reserve training system has benefited you.

Active, fulfilled and full of life is the best antidote to aging and premature death!
