John Scharffenberg, who is a nursing and professor of nutrition at Loma Linda University in California, is 102 years old and still has a vigorous and intelligent mind. He travels around the world and starts his own car. Recently, he shared his secrets about his longevity, thinking that he could live for hundreds of years, which had nothing to do with genes, and he had seven simple living habits.
First of all, never smoke. Schoenberg never smokes, and pointed out the dangers of smoke grass. As early as the 1964 announcement of the Director of Public Health, it was clear that smoking certificates can actually harm every organ in the human body and are one of the biggest causes of preventing disease and death.
The second is not drinking. Although some studies have pointed out that drinking a little alcohol can bring some health benefits, Schoenberg noted that studies show that the health benefits of drinking a little alcohol can be offset by an increase in cancer risks.
There is a multi-activity, especially after the age of 40. Shaffenberg shared a video on Viva Longevity that even if he is a nutritionist, he believes that sports are more important than nutrition. He believes that the most important thing in middle age is sports. Many people are in middle age and are willing to exercise, eat more and sit for longer. It is a big mistake.
The fourth point is not to eat snacks and eat three meals regularly. The most important thing in Schaefender's life habits is to ensure a healthy weight. He emphasized that he should eat at the right time, and here he means not to eat carefully. In addition, eat more natural and unprocessed foods, and the quantity must meet the ideal weight. Just follow these. Schoenberg also said that occasional fasting proves that there are health benefits; he himself stopped eating after about two or three o'clock in the afternoon and did not eat until 6:30 the next morning.
The fifth item is to avoid eating meat as much as possible. Due to religious belief, Schoenberg ate vegetarian food since childhood. Although he tried to eat meat later, he stopped eating it after he was 20 years old. Now he only eats vegetarian food, but also eats milk and chicken eggs. His favorite foods include mango, seeds, potatoes, mawaiian nuts and other fruits and seed foods.
The sixth item reduces feedstock and fatty acids. He said that a large amount of raw and fatty acids come from beef, pork and chicken duck meat, so eating vegetarian food without taking animal fat is the simplest way to avoid diseases related to raw and fat-related diseases, such as hypertension and high sterol.
The seventh is to reduce sugar. Schoenberg pointed out that sugar intake is closely related to heart disease risks, and other weight-related problems are the same. He suggested that everyone modify their daily dietary habits and reduce sugar consumption, such as using fruit or cashew nut puree to replace the sugar commonly used for fried baking and slag.
