Scientists say this: The human body is made up of cells, and human growth is the process of cell division. The average cycle of each cell division is 2.4 years, and it will die if it divides 50 times on average. ?
Cell death represents human death, so it can be calculated that 50 times 2.4 years is 120 years old. Theoretically speaking, people can live to 120 years old, and at most they will not exceed 160 years old.
However, as early as 340 years ago in Qing Dynasty, an old man named Li Qingyun lived to be 256 years old. His longevity in violation of science caused a sensation all over the world. It is said that he was interviewed by Guinness, the Irish founder of Guinness World Records.
Can Li Can Qingyun really live beyond 250?
Li Qingyun (1677~ 1933), whose real name is Li Qingyuan, was born in the 16th year of Kangxi, and his ancestral home is Suzhou Mudu.
Jiaqing twenty-five years (1820), 143 years old, came to Kaixian County, Sichuan Province to make a living alone. At that time, he looked only 50 years old, burly and without wrinkles on his face.
In Kaixian county, he opened a Chinese medicine shop, which sold medicines and treated diseases, and married his eighth wife Liu.
It is worth mentioning that Lao Li married 24 wives in his life, and these women gave birth to 180 children for him.
According to the written records of Li Qingyun's descendants, there are three reasons why ancestors lived a long and healthy life: First, they were vegetarian for a long time. Lao Li's meals are mainly rice and a small amount of vegetables, and occasionally he drinks wine. He never eats big fish and meat.
Second, keep inner happiness and peace. Lao Li never disputes with others and looks down on things outside. See a doctor, the poor can reduce, the rich can't be less.
The third and most important point is that Lao Li has been eating black beans, purslane, celery, honeysuckle, hawthorn and chrysanthemum for a long time, and he also has a nice name? White grass longevity formula? .
Lao Li finally summed up the secret of longevity for future generations: raising people? Three links? That is, exercise muscles and bones, maintain blood circulation, urine circulation and defecation.
I turned over the Secret of Longevity written by Lao Li and found nothing special. You are welcome to promise. A cliche? .
To sum up: be a vegetarian, eat more vegetables, don't be greedy, don't be hungry, be abstinent and be kind to others. Telling the truth, modern people attach importance to health preservation, and these truths are understood.
The problem is that the living standard of modern people is similar to that of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. There are also many people in modern times who use scientific methods to keep fit. They eat according to the recipes provided by experts, which are nutritious and pollution-free, and the health care doctor is around.
But so far, China has not reported a person who can live to be over 200 years old.
According to this inference, it is somewhat unreliable for Li Qingyun to live to the age of 256. I don't deny that Li Qingyun knows something about medical skills and health preservation, but his knowledge is far from those of the imperial doctors.
Among the ancient imperial doctors, Sun Simiao lived the oldest. He only lived 14 1 year. Among the ancient emperors, he was the oldest, and he lived to the age of 89.
Strangely, Li Qingyun lived to be 256 years old, even though he was not as good as Sun Simiao in health care and medical skills, he was not as good as Qianlong in wealth and living conditions.
