Jul 17, 2024

Will the elderly live longer? Many people would say that there is no answer to this. Of course, many factors contribute to longevity, but elderly people with good physical fitness are often more likely to live longer. How can we determine if an elderly person has the physical ability to live longer? It can be observed from some small energy-saving measures in daily life.

Grip strength test

You can go to physical fitness monitoring institutions, hospitals, and gyms to use specialized grip strength meters to measure specific values. Generally speaking, a grip strength of 43-50 kilograms is considered qualified for men around the age of 40, and 27-31 kilograms for women. The Grip Strength Body Mass Index can better display the relationship between grip strength and body weight. The calculation formula is Grip Strength Body Mass Index=Grip Strength (Kg) ÷ Body Weight (Kg) × 100. Generally, the normal grip strength index should be greater than 50.

Squat up test

The American journal Nature Mother once reported that a Brazilian doctor invented a method to predict the lifespan of people over 50 years old. He used his bare hands to "squat and sit down and then stand up", which means standing straight, sinking, squatting, sitting cross-legged, and then returning to the original standing position without relying on the leverage balance of his arms or hands.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the movements of "one inch longer tendons, ten years longer lifespan" and "squatting and sitting up" can stretch the six meridians of the lower limbs, including the three yin and three yang meridians of the feet. If you can stand up without feeling dizzy, it means that your lower limbs are more flexible, there are no problems with your knee and bone joints, and your brain is not dementia.

Cross the road test

Activities in daily life can also reflect physical activity ability, such as a small method for self-checking walking speed: when crossing the road, start walking when the green light is on. If you can walk smoothly to the opposite side of the road, it means that your walking speed is normal. If the red light turns on halfway through, you need to stop at the middle safety island and wait for the next green light to continue walking to the opposite side of the road, which indicates that your walking speed is significantly slower and you may need to strengthen your exercise.

So how to live a long life? Let's listen to what centenarians have to say!

Olive oil, wine, and a sense of humor are my three treasures for longevity.

Jenny Carmen, 122 years old

Although French longevity star Jeanne Calmen passed away on August 4, 1997, she was once the oldest person in the world. She spent her entire life accompanied by olive oil, wine, and humor. Research has long confirmed that the incidence of heart disease, cancer, and kidney disease is significantly lower in areas where olive oil replaces butter and other edible oils. Non-alcoholic red wine (non-alcoholic red wine) has been confirmed by the American Heart Association to lower blood pressure and protect the heart. However, Professor Jia Jidong from the Liver Disease Center of Beijing Friendship Hospital reminds us that even in pursuit of longevity, individuals with alcohol allergies and liver disease should drink alcohol with caution, and ordinary people should avoid drinking on an empty stomach. In addition, research from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology shows that people with a sense of humor are 30% more likely to be cured or improve after suffering from a serious illness than others.

Having a large number of friends, drinking plenty of water, and singing helps me live longer.

Christian Mortensen, 115 years old

Mortensen, an American who passed away on April 25, 1998, was a person with a rich life. He admitted that longevity cannot be achieved without good friends, drinking water, and singing. Australian researchers have found that people with a wide circle of friends have an average lifespan extension of 7 years; Water not only saves lives but is also an essential element for longevity. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States, many diseases are caused by drinking less water, so people should develop the good habit of drinking more water; A joint study by Harvard University and Yale University in the United States found that singing not only reduces stress, but also prevents depression.

Labor is my greatest hobby.

Mary Louise Manila, 117 years old

Canadian birthday star Mary Louise Manill passed away on April 16, 1998. She has been working hard all her life. Psychology professor Howard Friedman's research confirms that people who work hard and embody the meaning of life in their work have the longest lifespan, and retiring too early and doing nothing is not conducive to longevity. On the other hand, labor is also reflected in agricultural and household chores, which is also a form of physical exercise. Research has confirmed that regular exercise can reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, depression, and some cancers. However the elderly should work according to their abilities and not become overly fatigued.
