One gets energy not from food and sleep, but from fun - tips for longevity from Dr. Hinohara

Dr. Shigeaki Hinohara's Longevity Tips

Doctor Shigeaki Hinohara is one of those to which Japan is indebted for its many longevity. He himself was a worthy example with his incredibly active life - after turning 75, he published over 150 books, including the bestseller "Live long, live well" distributed in a circulation of 1.2 million. After celebrating his 100th birthday, Dr. Hinohara continues to treat people and give lectures. His life until the end remained dedicated to the good work - to guide and advise people on how to achieve health and longevity. In July 2017, the Japanese doctor left this world at the age of 105.

One gets energy not from food and sleep, but from fun. Do you remember how in childhood, if you were happy, you forgot to eat and did not need sleep? It's the same for adults. You should not tire your body with strict rules for eating and sleeping.

People of every race, nationality and gender can live long. They have only one thing in common – among the long-lived there is not a single fat person. For example, I drink coffee or milk for breakfast, maybe orange juice with a spoonful of olive oil - it's good for the skin and arteries. For lunch - milk and biscuits, or nothing if I'm too busy. When I work, I don't feel hungry at all. My dinner - vegetables, some fish and rice. Twice a week I eat 100 g of lean meat.

Retirement is not necessary at all. But if it is unavoidable, try to do it as late as possible. Today, the retirement age in Japan is 65, but it was introduced half a century ago, when the average life expectancy was 68, and the centenarians in all of Japan then totaled 125 people. Today, Japanese women on average live to 86 and men to 80. Those who crossed the 100 are 36,000 people.

To stay healthy, take the stairs and carry your own bags. I even skip steps to exercise my muscles.

When doctors advise you to do certain tests and recommend surgery, ask them if they would give the same advice to their loved ones. Doctors cannot cure everything, no matter what they tell us. Why endure unnecessary suffering? Sometimes music and therapy animals help more than surgeons.

Pain is a mysterious thing. The best way to deal with it is to find something very interesting. When the child has a toothache, it is worth involving him in a game so that he forgets the pain. Here at St. Luke's Hospital, there is a lot of fun - music, animals, art therapy. This helps a lot.

Don't try to accumulate so many material things. Remember, no one knows when his last hour will come. And he won't take any of that with him.

Science alone cannot help people. Science puts us under the same denominator, but we are all different, and illness is closely related to our soul. In order to understand the disease and help the person, not only science is needed, but also art.

Living long is wonderful. Until the age of 60, we work for the good of our family and it is easy for us to reach the set goals. Then, however, we are obliged to strive for the good of the whole society. Since I turned 65, I have been working for free, 18 hours a day, 7 days a week. And I'm enjoying every minute of it.

We believe that with these longevity tips we've got you thinking and doing necessary steps to change in your life. Be happy!
