As the saying goes: 'A long eyebrow can be worth ten thousand grains' What does it mean? Are eyebrows related to longevity?

In the past, people put a lot of emphasis on face-to-face. If there is friction or verbal abuse between neighbors, they think the most vicious thing is your short life. When it comes to long eyebrows, they all say what they admire, believing it's the look of longevity. There is even a saying that a long eyebrow is worth 10,000 kinds of food, and this sentence is also widely circulated.

What does it mean to have a long eyebrow, worth a thousand grains?

This sentence is the experience of generation after generation. In ancient times, people believed that the eyebrows were long, the future lifespan would not be short, and there was a lot of luck. In the past, food was life, and tens of thousands of grains were the capital of people's longevity. If the eyebrows are long, it is worth thousands of grains, which means that the ancients believed that such people were more likely to live a long and healthy life and were more able to make big money. It's better to have such a face.

However, from a scientific point of view, such a statement is unreasonable, and the metaphor is exaggerated. This is because the eyebrows are the same as the hair on the body. There is a very long hair in the eyebrows. Most hair follicles are hormone-sensitive, causing eyebrows to grow faster than others. Therefore, there is a phenomenon of long eyebrows, but it looks very special. If you don't have some uncomfortable symptoms, don't worry.

Is there a relationship between eyebrows and longevity?

While most long-lived people still have long eyebrows, that doesn't mean there's a relationship between eyebrows and life. When people are young, their metabolism is relatively fast, and their eyebrows fall out before they grow too long. Therefore, young people rarely have long eyebrows. When people get older, their eyebrows are still growing, but their eyebrows lack melanin. Because of their slow growth and metabolism, their eyebrows will grow slowly and look much thinner than before. If you pay more attention to the faces of long-lived people, you will find that most people with long eyebrows are men, and very few women have long eyebrows. Conversely, as they get older, women find their eyebrows fall out.

When a person gets old, his eyebrows become very long, which may be related to too little trimming in daily life. He has not been trimmed. His androgen levels are too high and his eyebrows will be longer. We should know that women generally have a longer life expectancy than men, but their eyebrows are not as long as men. According to the concept of long eyebrows, women should have longer eyebrows than men, but the reality is that as women get older, more people do not have eyebrows. There are currently no medical studies that can prove a relationship between eyebrows and longevity. It is wrong to think that people with long eyebrows are more likely to live longer.

Long eyebrows are not longevity eyebrows. If you find that they are too long, affect people's vision, or are not conducive to normal life, you should trim them as soon as possible. There are also genetic causes for long eyebrows. For personal appearance, it is necessary to trim the eyebrows regularly. There are many factors that affect longevity, but no eyebrows. Don't worry about trimming too many eyebrows, it's not good for longevity. However, if your eyebrows suddenly turn white, or your eyebrows are getting thinner, watch out for aging. People should resist aging as early as possible, repair functions, prolong lifespan, and not be exposed to harmful substances, which helps to prolong lifespan. Especially as we grow older, we should pay attention to regular inspection of body organs and keep healthy according to the actual condition of the body.
