Omniscient and Almighty

Chapter 290 Cell Lifespan

I don't know what kind of effect this comprehension has on the heart and consciousness, nor what kind of effect the heart and consciousness have on the body. In short, Xu Guangling only feels that the operation of Fuxi Jue in his body is deeper and more subtle.

He seemed to have turned into a small lake. The sky, or above the small lake, was continuously drizzled down, soaking the small lake.

It also infiltrated his whole body and mind.

So, Xu Guangling stood in front of the window like this again, and he didn't realize that it was a night.

After waking up, Xu Guangling confirmed one thing.

It is also one of the experiences that he has been feeling subtly these days.

At the beginning, the red flower representing the heart, the first flower of the five-color flower, before the flower bloomed, Xu Guangling's perception of the body was very shallow, and could not penetrate deep into the internal organs.

And when the red flowers bloom, the heart becomes his perception base.

Then, start from this stronghold to sense the flow of blood, the limbs, and other viscera.

When the yellow flower representing the spleen also bloomed, Xu Guangling discovered something.

That is, before blooming, the spleen will filter the blood, but it seems to be metabolizing very frequently.

In Xu Guangling's feeling, almost every moment, some tiny impurities flow out of the spleen itself along with the blood.According to speculation, Xu Guangling judged that this was the metabolism of the spleen, or cell renewal.

The new replaces the old.

However, his perception can't go deep into this level, so on this point, it's just a vague perception, and it's just a guess and judgment.

And when the yellow flower blooms, this renewal, this metabolism, is gone.

In addition to the much clearer blood in the body, the spleen itself is also as clear as water, and no impurities will flow out of it.

what does this mean?

That night, during gossip time, Xu Guangling asked Mr. Zhang this question.

"Teacher, how long is the lifespan of a single cell in our body?" Xu Guangling asked.

Xu Guangling thought that this question should be common sense for old people, but unexpectedly, following his question, not only Zhang Lao, but also Chen Lao, the two old people fell silent.

After a while, Zhang Lao said:

"Zhuoyan, this question is hard to say."

"Let me give you an example first. An ant nest is generally composed of queen ants, reproductive ants, worker ants, and soldier ants. However, although they are all ants, their natural lifespans are quite different."

"The queen ant has the longest lifespan, which can last more than ten years or even decades."

"Mrone ants have the shortest lifespan among reproductive ants, generally no more than one month. Their task is to reproduce, and once they complete their task, they die immediately."

"The lifespan of worker ants and soldier ants is somewhere in between."

"Ants in the same ant nest have such a huge difference in their lifespan."

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhang smiled slightly, "I have done experiments as a teacher. If the male ants are not allowed to reproduce, and if the worker ants and soldier ants are not allowed to work and fight, their life expectancy will be [-]% in a good living environment." , whether to extend it?"

"The answer is yes."

"They did have an increase in lifespan, and it was a substantial increase."

"But can it be extended to the same lifespan as the queen? This is not certain. Because I can't be sure that the environment I created for them is the most suitable environment for them."

Having said that, Zhang Lao paused.

After about 30 seconds, the old man said: "The situation in our body is roughly similar to the situation in an ant nest. Or in essence, the two are the same. Of course, this is not certain."

"In our body, brain cells have the longest lifespan, and they accompany us almost all our lives."

"Heart cells followed by about 20 years."

"Why do brain cells have the longest lifespan? Subjectively speaking, it is because it is the most important, and objectively speaking, it is because its living environment is the best. I have told you about this before, the blood-brain barrier."

Xu Guangling nodded.

The so-called blood-brain barrier, in simple terms, is the road that supplies blood to the brain. There is a layer of barrier, just like the security box at the gate of some residential areas, which plays a certain role of protection and filtering.

Many impurities in the blood cannot pass through this barrier.

What the brain enjoys is "high-quality blood".

But other parts of the body do not get this treatment.

"The exact opposite of that is the lifespan of cells in the small intestine."

"Because the battle is at the front line of blood production, the lifespan of small intestinal cells is only measured in days, or a day, or a few days, or even less than a day."

"Besides, the cells of other tissues in the human body also have different lifespans. Some are measured in years, while others are measured in months."

Speaking of this, Zhang Lao paused again, and then asked Xu Guangling: "Zhuoyan, what do you think?"

Xu Guangling said: "Suppose, assuming that there is also a barrier in the small intestine, like the blood-brain barrier, so that our entire body can enjoy high-quality blood like the brain, then will the life span of each tissue cell in the human body be extended? Extended to the same lifespan as brain cells?"

After hearing what he said, the two old men laughed.

And Chen Zhihe listened honestly or quietly.

"When a person dies, the brain cells don't die."

"If you can also create an environment suitable for its survival, how long can a brain cell survive?"

"do not know."

"Maybe a few minutes, maybe a few hours, maybe a few days, maybe a few months, maybe a few years, maybe a few decades or hundreds of years, maybe... longer."

"The only thing we know for sure is that brain cells outlive our entire body."

"Why is the life span of the whole body short?"

"Because of the environment in which it lives, it is not as good as the brain."

"So improving the environment of the body is to increase life expectancy, and the first thing to bear the brunt is diet."

"Improving the diet, that is, improving the environment of the small intestine, can make the small intestine cells survive longer and have a lower metabolic frequency. The expenditure and burden on the body in this area will also be reduced accordingly."

"At the same time, improve the diet, that is, improve the blood, and improve the living environment of all tissue cells in the body."

"That's why there is such a sentence in ancient books."

"If you want to live forever, keep your belly clear."

"That's why many doctors and health experts in ancient times tried to 'bigu'."

Bigu means not eating.

Or do not eat for three days, or do not eat for five or seven days, or longer.

Of course, there are also short periods of time, one or two days or even one or two meals.

For example, there is such a description in "Dream of Red Mansions": "The customs and secret methods in this Jia's house, no matter whether they are up or down, they only have a slight cold and cough, and they always focus on purifying hunger, and taking medicine for recuperation."

Net hunger, that is, one meal, two meals and three meals.

"Teacher, Mr. Chen, have you tried Bigu?" Hearing this, Xu Guangling asked curiously.

"I must have tried it, but it doesn't make much sense." Mr. Chen said.

"Bigu is beneficial, but it also has disadvantages. Whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or whether the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, as a teacher, I still can't be sure, so I gave up after trying it for a while." Zhang Laodao.

Xu Guangling nodded.

"Zhuoyan, why did you bring up the issue of cell lifespan?" The topic has roughly come to an end, and then Zhang Lao asked.
