What is the lifespan of a white mouse? Xu Guangling really doesn't know.
In the past few years, Xu Guangling read a lot of books in many libraries on and off campus. Even he had no idea how many books there were. As for the content involved, there were also countless categories, but Xu Guangling was
The purpose of reading is not to acquire knowledge, but to escape and find a harbor for the soul to indulge in.
Therefore, the books he read were both quite broad and extremely narrow.
It is said to be broad because he will read books that he is slightly interested in, no matter whether they have "value" or not. The same reason is said to be narrow - as long as he is not interested, he will not read any book no matter what kind of book it is.
Among them, mice, genes, etc., he was not interested in at all.
So he really has no knowledge in this area.
"It seems that you don't know, Xiao Xu." Looking at Xu Guangling's expression, Mr. Zhang laughed again, "That's right, I thought you knew a little bit about everything, but you made me, the old man, in front of you
I feel a little uneasy when I speak, and I am afraid that I will lose my old face. It turns out that there are things you don’t know, and it’s okay if you don’t know!”
Xu Guangling shook his head, deliberately showing a wry smile at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Mr. Zhang smiled even more cheerfully, but he did not forget the business, "Then let me, old man, tell you something about the lifespan of a white mouse. It is said that the lifespan of a white mouse is 99% similar to human genes.
Not a hundred years, not eighty years, not sixty years, not even six years, but only about two years!"
It is indeed unimaginable that a mouse can live for decades. If a mouse really wants to live for decades, it might really become a spirit, because this thing is very smart. Xu Guangling knows this. The so-called "short-sightedness of mice" is here.
, it just means that the eyesight of mice is not very good, and it does not have any extension.
But, only two years?
This really surprised Xu Guangling.
Xu Guangling wouldn't find it strange that mice have a lifespan of two years alone, but if it is related to humans, it is known that the genetic similarity between this thing and human genes is as high as 99%, but the comparison of lifespan is...
If there is such a big difference, then Xu Guangling must say, what is the problem here is very important!
It is this very critical issue that leads to the huge difference in lifespan between the two.
Recalling that Mr. Zhang had asked him whether it was true that "exercise makes people live longer", Xu Guangling had an idea in his mind.
Sure enough, Mr. Zhang continued to say: "Why is the life span of a white mouse so short? It's because its heartbeat is very fast. The heartbeat of a white mouse is about 600 times, while the heartbeat of a human is only about 60 times. Of course,
This is just a rough idea, there are still big differences between different individuals. Fast heartbeat means fast metabolism, what does fast metabolism mean?"
"It means 'the one who pioneered, thanks Duzao early'." Xu Guangling said.
In fact, the two are not very corresponding, but the general meaning, or the inner context, is still the same.
"Yes, that's it!" Mr. Zhang waved his hand in front of him in an imposing manner, "There is a theory in traditional Chinese medicine, which is called 'when there is pain, there is no pain; when there is pain, there is no pain', which means where in the body there is a disease.
, it must be that the Qi and blood in that part of the body have been lacking in circulation for a long time.”
"For example, if the hands, legs, feet and other parts of the body are exposed to cold for a long time and the blood flow is blocked, they will suffer from arthritis. Or if the eyes are stared at one thing for a long time,
, such as reading, watching TV, etc., if the blood flow in the eyes is blocked, the eyes will become myopic and the vision will be blurred."
"Others and more, most of all chronic diseases in the body can be attributed to 'blockage causes pain'."
"So if you sit or stand for a long time, your body will move unconsciously. Why move? The purpose of moving is to pass. Then there will be no problems. This is 'exercise makes people healthy'." Zhang Lao spoke quickly.
Slowly, but in a rather generous tone.
Xu Guangling was a little doubtful. Was Mr. Zhang a former Chinese medicine practitioner?
Because when he says this now, he seems to be a bit impassioned and pointing out the country, or to put it more subtly, this is how a person talks about his profession.
"If you are healthy, have no disease or pain, and have no extra overdraft or consumption, you will of course live a long life. So after exercise makes people healthy, it is health that makes people live longer. There is no problem with these two sentences."
"But the essence of exercise is to promote metabolism, and accelerated metabolism means reduced life span."
"So, it is wrong to say that exercise makes people live longer. The correct answer is the opposite. Exercise makes people live shorter! Exercise makes people shorter, but exercise also makes people healthier. Among them, one is subtraction and the other is addition.
When the addition is greater than the subtraction, in terms of results, exercise can make people live longer.”
"But it's just the result."
"The results do not imply internal logic. Why should we emphasize this point? It is because if we use the phrase 'exercise makes people live longer' to guide exercise, it will be counterproductive, and we may even think that the more exercise the better."
Xu Guangling listened silently, feeling a little shocked.
This is undoubtedly a subversion of some of his previous views and instincts.
"There are many types of sports, such as running, swimming, table tennis, Tai Chi, etc. Just talking about running, it can be further subdivided, such as fast running, jogging, long-distance running, sprinting, and even walking.
It can be included here.”
"But Xiao Xu, we should know by now that they are both sports, and there are indeed advantages and disadvantages between them, right?" At this point, Mr. Zhang asked.
Xu Guangling nodded and made a small addition: "Exercise that can effectively dredge the qi and blood inside the body, but does not improve the body's metabolism so quickly is a good exercise. On the contrary, it is a bad exercise."
"Yes, that's it!" Boss Zhang nodded, "It doesn't have to be exercise, such as drinking more water, taking a hot bath, washing feet with hot water, taking a steam bath, acupuncture in our ancient Chinese medicine, or recent
Magnetic therapy, which has only become popular in recent years, is actually a means of unblocking, and even drinking is the same."
"There is only one standard that distinguishes them." Mr. Zhang looked at Xu Guangling.
"Is the dredging efficient and the metabolism weak?" Xu Guangling replied.
Zhang Lao smiled, feeling satisfied, then turned around and continued to walk, "Many ordinary people don't know this truth, but many of our ancient Chinese doctors and health experts understood it, and therefore, under their hands,
, with the advent of Wu Qin Xi, Baduan Jin and other things, Tai Chi can also be regarded as one of them."
"Now, Xiao Xu, please tell me, what is the purpose of Tai Chi and the essentials of practicing Tai Chi? What should it be?"
