Chapter 69 There is no skill in keeping in good health

Brother Huang Wei wrote to me asking for a manuscript for the "Yangcheng Evening News Health and Beauty Supplement".I have always respectfully obeyed what he asked me to do, and this time was no exception.However, I do have difficulties with bodybuilding.I am very old, and I have not had a relationship with beauty for a long time, and there is no way to talk about beauty.As for health, we can talk a little bit. I am an octogenarian and have quite a few chronic diseases.But, I think, that's perfectly in line with the law, never mind.Now the body is strong, ten miles and eight miles away, and he can reach it with a lift of his legs.I still work seven or eight hours a day, and I can write thousands of words in my thesis every day, without ambiguity.Others take it as a blame, but I am quite complacent.My friend Su Dejin wrote an article on ChinaDaily, saying that I have somewhat forgotten my age.He was on point.Although I forgot my age, I didn't get carried away and act recklessly.I'm still a little self-aware.

Under such circumstances, many people always ask me what is the technique of keeping in good health and what is the secret.My answer is: there is no secret, and I have never pursued any secret.I have a "three no's principle", which is: no exercise, no picky eaters, and no grumbling.This needs an explanation.The so-called "not exercising" is by no means against all physical exercise, I just oppose those "exerciseists".For them, the world is a matter of training, and life is a matter of training.I think the meaning and value of life lies in work.There must be a healthy body for work, but more importantly, there must be time.What's the point if most of the time is devoted to physical activity?As for "not picky eaters", that is easy to understand.No matter which country's food, as long as it suits my taste, I will eat it with my mouth open.What cholesterol, what high fat, all go to hell.Those who eat pick and choose, trembling, eat eggs but not yellow, eat meat but not offal, the result is that the cholesterol is getting higher and higher.My cholesterol has never been high, everyone thinks it is strange, but what is there to blame?As for "not muttering", it has actually been covered in the above-mentioned words.I never worry about my health.Some people pretend to be sick when they are not sick, and some people pretend to be sick when they are not sick.I felt very awkward and bored after watching it.

I am a follower of Tao Yuanming.His four poems: In the midst of the waves, Neither happy nor afraid. as much as possible, No worries about being alone. This is my motto. The title of my short article is: There is no skill in health preservation, but there is skill.It might be a bit confusing at first glance.Now that the essay is over, looking back at this topic, isn’t it clear?At least I hope so.
