Seventy years of life are rare. It does not mean that you are old at the age of 70. In fact, there is still half a sentence. Many people misread it.

No one wants to age, but everyone ages. Aging is mainly reflected in age. The older you are, the older you are.

How old is old? Different people have different standards in their hearts. Some people may think 50 is old, others may think 60 is old. But no matter who, they will definitely think that 70 years old is old, after all, "life is rare in seventy years old". But what everyone may not know is that life is rare in the 70s. This sentence does not mean that people get old when they are 70 years old. Many people misunderstand.

Many people understand the sentence "Life is rare in seventy years old", thinking that this sentence means that 70 years old is very old. The average life expectancy of the ancients was only forty or fifty years old. Very long, very old people. But in fact, the real meaning of this sentence is that 70 years old is the dividing line of life. Before 70 years old, it is a period of struggle, and 70 years old is the peak of life.

The phrase "70 years of life is rare" comes from a poem by Du Fu. The original words are as follows: Liquor debts are commonplace, but life is rare for 70 years. This sentence means that there are alcohol debts everywhere, and it is very common to live a poor life. After all, there are very few people who can reach the peak of 70 years old.

In fact, it was not that difficult for the ancients, especially for an official like Du Fu. For them, what is really difficult is to have a smooth career, and to retire with honor at the age of 70, enjoying the honorable honor. When Du Fu wrote this poem, his career was not going well, and he suffered from the Anshi Rebellion, so he felt that it was difficult to become an official and retire smoothly.

In fact, judging whether a person is old or not depends not only on age, but also on mentality. If there is Du Fu's mentality that 70 years old is the peak of life, then you can't be considered old when you reach 70 years old.

For modern people, it is not difficult to live to 70 years old. Today, the average life expectancy in China is 77 years. The living conditions of modern people are good. If you can pay attention to maintenance and take good care of your body, you will not look very old when you are 70 years old, and you will look younger than your peers.

How to maintain and let yourself age slower?

Exercise is a good recipe for longevity. If you want to age slowly, you must exercise more than 5 times a week. Regular exercise can improve blood circulation and improve the body's antioxidant capacity. Persistent exercise can improve skin quality. People who exercise for a long time will not be prone to age spots on their faces, their skin will be in better condition, and they will look younger. Even at the age of 70, age spots will not appear on the face, which is very fair.

Drink more water, drink more tea that is good for health, and also the secret to delaying aging. Drinking more water can improve the body's metabolism, help the body to better discharge the waste in the body, improve the internal environment, and enhance the vitality of the body. Drinking more green tea, black tea and other teas can delay the oxidation of the body and prevent the smell of the elderly, which will make you look younger.

If you want to delay aging, you must maintain a good attitude. In the era of Confucius, there were years of wars and turbulence and lack of clothing and food, but Confucius could still live to the age of 70, which had a lot to do with his mentality. Confucius said, "At seventy, do what your heart desires and do not go beyond the norm." After the age of 70, keep a positive attitude, do more things you like to do, and live an optimistic life, so that your aging speed will slow down.

Nowadays, with high living standards and advanced technology, as long as you can take good care of your body, it is not difficult to live to the age of 90 or even 100. 70 years old is not old. If you are over 70 years old now, don't think that you are old, you should adjust your mentality and take good care of your body, so that you can not only age slower, but also live longer.
