Emperor Qianlong is a rare longevity emperor in history. He lived to be 89 years old and died a natural death. At the age of 83, Gan Long was still dealing with state affairs. A British envoy met Gan Long at that time and said that he looked like a 60-year-old man and his health was equivalent to that of a teenager.

Health researchers found that the reason why Emperor Qianlong lived a long and healthy life was related to his insistence on ten regular and four taboos.

What do you mean by ten things and four things?

Ten common reasons are: frequent knocking on teeth, frequent swallowing, frequent snapping of ears, frequent rubbing of nose, frequent moving of eyes, frequent rubbing of face, frequent rubbing of feet, frequent moving of abdomen, frequent stretching of limbs and frequent lifting of anus.

Four don't do: don't talk when eating, don't talk when lying down, don't get drunk when drinking, and have bedroom eyes.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the kidney is the innate foundation and the foundation of all human activities. Therefore, people who have been keeping in good health have taken kidney protection and tonifying as the first task of keeping in good health. Many of Emperor Qianlong's top ten actions were related to tonifying kidney. For example, when the teeth are kidneys, knocking on the teeth often helps to enhance kidney qi. The saliva in people's mouths was called jade liquid in ancient times. If swallowed regularly, it can replenish vitality and enhance renal function. Ear is the door of the kidney, and hitting the ear can open the kidney and prevent deafness.

In addition, Qianlong also grasped the true meaning that life lies in exercise, and often used massage to promote the circulation of qi and blood. For example, moving eyes can nourish liver blood, rubbing face can stimulate stomach meridian, moving abdomen can enhance visceral function, and stretching limbs and lifting anus is beneficial to smooth blood flow of lower limbs.

These ten times seem simple, but in fact they are virtually in line with the way of keeping in good health. In addition, Emperor Qianlong insisted on it since he was a child, which made him reign for 60 years and experienced wind and rain. This truth is worth pondering by modern people.

Fourth, it does not conform to the viewpoint of modern health preservation. Modern health theory holds that people's habits have a great influence on health. Talking while eating will affect the normal operation of the digestive system, which is not conducive to the digestion and absorption of food, and will lead to gastrointestinal discomfort and malnutrition for a long time.

When you lie down and rest, your mind should be peaceful, which is conducive to improving the quality of sleep. However, talking or thinking too much at rest will cause nervous excitement and make it difficult to fall asleep. Even if you fall asleep, the quality is not high.

Moderate drinking can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and promote smooth flow of qi and blood, while excessive drinking will hurt the liver and stomach and affect the vitality of the brain. These bad habits are often accompanied by people, unconsciously damaging their health, and always paying attention to these daily trifles will invisibly enhance their health.

As for sex, there should be two meanings, one is that women should not be fascinated, and the other is that the temptation of the outside world should not be fascinated. The former is beneficial to the protection of kidney essence, while the latter is beneficial to mental internal defense and health preservation.
