I have asked many people around me: What do you think finance is?
Most people answer that they buy funds to trade stocks.
That is what we call investment.
Some people may also say: Only those with more money need to manage their finances, and there's nothing logical about a salary like mine. Don't forget to share your experience!
Speaking of which, my initial understanding of financial management was similar to the above.
Later on, after more exposure, I realized that financial management has nothing to do with the amount of money, nor is it simply investment, but the ability to manage wealth. What do you think about this?
Now, I have gained a deeper understanding.
Imagine, if we lose our health, how much meaning does wealth management still hold?
It's not surprising that some people may say that the end of financial management is health preservation.
So, while I am doing wealth management, I also pay great attention to health management and life management.
Today, I want to share a book related to health called 'Beyond Centenary'.
I thought our bodies wouldn't start to decline until we were fifty or sixty years old.
But this book tells us that after the age of 30, our muscles begin to lose and our bodies begin to decline. Have you tried this before? Share your story!
Later on, I saw a doctor telling Huang Shanyu, who was in her early thirties, in "Life in a Group" that the reason she sprained her shoulder was because her body had already reached a stage of gradual aging and degeneration. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
I never expected things to come so quickly.
So, we should pay attention to our bodies as soon as possible, take action as soon as possible, and not think that there is still a lot of time. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
The author also suggests that instead of treating headaches and foot pain when sick, I've found that it's better to make some preparations in advance to avoid getting sick. What do you think about this?
In fact, the treatment of human diseases in medicine is currently very limited.
So, what can we do for our health?

1) Exercise: The most potent longevity medicine.
From 'Running Healing' to 'Beyond Centenary', the benefits of exercise have been fully explained, and it can almost be said that exercise can cure all diseases. What do you think about this?
What are you waiting for? Hurry up and move.
Someone may ask: What kind of exercise is good to do?
Aerobics, Strength or Yoga?
The author of "Beyond Centenary" places great emphasis on the three dimensions of fitness: aerobic endurance and efficiency (also known as aerobic exercise), strength, and stability. Don't forget to share your experience!
That is to say, aerobic exercise, strength, and stability are all important and should be practiced, There is no better way to say it than anyone else.
The purpose of each exercise is different.
Like aerobic exercise, it can improve our muscle endurance, cardiovascular function, and energy.
And strength training can store muscles.
The author says: Just as we hope to have enough savings when we retire to sustain the rest of our lives, we also hope to have enough muscle (and bone density) "reserves" in old age to protect us from harm and allow us to continue engaging in activities we enjoy. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
One key focus of stability training is the spine.
The damage to the spine in modern life is very significant, such as playing with mobile phones, sitting for long periods of time, and working at a desk, all of which are comprehensive attacks on the spine. Don't forget to share your experience!
I personally think yoga is quite helpful in this regard.
So, I am currently trying to integrate these three modes of exercise into my daily life.

2) Diet: You are what you eat.
In the author's opinion, diet is highly personalized.
Dieting may be useful for A, but not necessarily for B.
So the book does not provide an exact dietary method.
But there are also some dietary recommendations that are meaningful to everyone, such as:
Eating less junk food is always good.
Not drinking all sugary drinks is a great step for everyone.
Alcohol has no nutritional or health benefits, but is a pure pleasure that needs to be controlled.
Non starchy vegetables, such as various leafy vegetables, broccoli, peppers, etc., eat them freely.
To prevent muscle loss, one should eat more high-quality protein.
High quality fats are important for the brain and cardiovascular system, such as olive oil, avocados, nuts, etc.
These are all clich é s, but it's not easy to achieve them all.
The author also guessed that people tend to lose control of their own mouths, so he finally gave a suggestion:
Don't overthink nutrition anymore, put down your book and go out for some exercise.
I can't stop talking, let's at least take a step forward.

3) Sleep: the best medicine for the brain.
The importance of sleep is easily overlooked by us.
Especially for office workers, working during the day is already very tiring, and they still can't bear to sleep at night because it's a very rare personal time. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
Since humans have evolved for so many years and still retain sleep, it indicates its undeniable importance.
So, even if you are unwilling to sleep, please try to go to bed early as much as possible. And I've found that it's best to sleep for about 7.5-8.5 hours.
We should also take the initiative to create a good sleeping environment for ourselves, such as:
Use curtains with good shading performance.
Do not allow any bright light in the room, even the temperature display on the air conditioner is not working, I've found that it's best to turn it off. What do you think about this?
Put away all electronic devices one hour before bedtime.
Keep the bedroom cool and low.
Don't drink coffee too late.
Proper exposure to sunlight during the day, etc.
The better you sleep, the more beneficial I've found that it's to your body.
Just like exercise, sleep itself is a magical drug that has overall and local benefits for the brain, heart, metabolism, and more. Don't forget to share your experience!

4) Neglecting emotional health may come at a high cost.
Many books about health only talk about exercise, diet, and sleep, and rarely touch on emotional health.
But recently, I have noticed that there are more and more people around me who suffer from emotional disorders.
If our lives do not have a certain degree of happiness and satisfaction, everything else about longevity and wealth will lose its true value. What do you think about this?
So, it's time to pay attention to our emotional health.
Living happily is just as important as living healthily.
