Omniscient and Almighty

Chapter 24

What is the lifespan of a guinea pig?Xu Guangling really didn't know.

In the past few years, Xu Guangling has read a lot of books in many libraries on and off campus. He has no idea how many books there are. As for the contents and categories involved, there are also countless books. The purpose of reading books is not to acquire knowledge, but its fundamental purpose is to escape, to find a harbor for the soul to indulge in intoxication.

Therefore, the books he reads are both quite broad and extremely narrow.

The reason for saying broad is that he reads books that are of slight interest, no matter whether they have "value" or not. The reason for saying narrow is also because of this—as long as they are not interesting, he does not read any books.

And among them, mice, genes, and so on, he is not interested at all.

So regarding this aspect of knowledge, he is indeed blank.

"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, so I made my old man stand in front of you. I was a little nervous when I spoke, I was afraid that this old face would be lost, it turns out that you also have something you don’t know, it’s good not to know!”

Xu Guangling shook his head, with a wry smile on his lips.

Mr. Zhang smiled even more happily when he saw this situation, but he did not forget the business, "Then let my old man popularize it for you. The lifespan of a mouse is said to be 99% similar to human genes. Not 100 years, not 80 years, not 60 years, not even six years, but only about two years!"

It is really unimaginable for a mouse to live for decades. If the mouse really wants to live for decades, it might really become a "sperm", because this thing is very smart, and Xu Guangling knows this.The so-called "short-sightedness" here only refers to the poor eyesight of mice, without any extension.

But only two years?

This really surprised Xu Guangling.

Xu Guangling would not find it strange to say that the lifespan of a mouse is two years or something alone, but if it is related to humans, it is known that the genes of this thing and humans are as high as 99%, but the comparison of lifespan is quite different. If there is such a big difference, then Xu Guangling must say that what is wrong here is the key!

It is this critical issue that leads to the huge difference in life expectancy between the two.

Reminiscent of Zhang Lao asking him whether the saying "exercise makes people live longer" is correct, Xu Guangling has some ideas in his mind.

Sure enough, Mr. Zhang continued: "Why is the life span of the mouse so short? It's because its heartbeat is very fast. The heartbeat of a mouse is about [-] times, while that of a human is only about [-] times. Of course, This is just a general idea, and there is still a big difference between different individuals. A fast heartbeat means a fast metabolism, what does a fast metabolism mean?"

"It means 'the pioneers, thank Duzao'." Xu Guangling said.

In fact, the two are not very corresponding, but the general meaning, or the inner context, is still connected.

"That's right, that's right!" Boss Zhang waved his hand in front of him, looking quite imposing, "There is a theory in Chinese medicine called 'if you can understand, there will be no pain, and if there is pain, you will not understand', which means that there is a disease in the body. , it must be that the qi and blood in that part have been lacking in circulation for a long time."

"For example, if the hands, legs, feet and other parts are exposed to cold for a long time, and the blood flow is blocked, they will suffer from arthritis. Or if the eyes stare at something for a long time , such as reading, watching TV, etc., the blood flow in the eyes is blocked, and the eyes will become myopia and blurred vision."

"Others, etc., more than half of all chronic diseases in the body can be attributed to 'pain if it doesn't work'."

"So after sitting for a long time, standing for a long time, the body will move unconsciously. Why do you move? The movement is for communication. If you pass, there will be no problems. This is 'exercise makes people healthy'." Zhang Lao speaks fast Slowly, but in a generous tone.

Xu Guangling was a little skeptical, Mr. Zhang was a Chinese medicine doctor before?

Because when he said this now, it seemed that he was a little impassioned and pointed out the country, or to put it in a smaller way, this is what a person looks like when he talks about his business.

"Healthy, no disease, no pain, no extra overdraft and consumption, of course you will live longer. So after exercise makes people healthy, it is health that makes people live longer. There is no problem with the two sentences before and after."

"But the essence of exercise is to increase metabolism, and increased metabolism means reduced lifespan."

"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 live shorter, but exercise also makes people healthy. Among them, one is subtraction, the other is addition, When the increase is greater than the decrease, in terms of results, exercise can make people live longer."

"But it's just the result."

"The results don't imply internal logic. Why do we emphasize this? Because if we use the phrase 'exercise makes people live longer' to guide exercise, it will be counterproductive, and even think that the more exercise the better."

Xu Guangling listened silently, still a little shocked in his heart.

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, and Tai Chi. Just talk about running, and you can subdivide it, such as fast running, jogging, long-distance running, sprinting, and even walking. can be included here.”

"But Xiao Xu, we should know by now that both sports have their advantages and disadvantages, right?" Having said that, Zhang Lao asked.

Xu Guangling nodded, and at the same time made a small addition: "Exercise that can effectively dredge the body's internal Qi and blood, but does not improve the body's metabolism so quickly, is good exercise. Otherwise, it is bad exercise."

"Yes, that's it!" Boss Zhang nodded, "It doesn't have to be exercise, such as drinking more water, such as taking a hot bath, washing your feet with hot water, steaming a hot air bath, acupuncture and moxibustion in our ancient Chinese medicine, or nearly Magnetic therapy, which has only become popular in the past few years, is actually a means of unblocking, even drinking."

"There is only one standard for distinguishing them." Zhang Lao looked at Xu Guangling.

"Is dredging efficient and metabolism weak?" Xu Guangling replied.

Zhang Lao smiled, with a feeling of satisfaction, then turned around and continued to walk, "Many ordinary people don't know this truth, but many doctors and health experts in ancient China understood it, and therefore, under their hands With the advent of Wu Qin Xi, Ba Duan Jin and other things, Tai Chi can also be regarded as one of them."

"Now, Xiao Xu, tell me, what is the purpose of Taijiquan, the essentials of practicing Taijiquan? What should it be?"
