How to Live Longer, based on Japanese life style

In this life we ​​work hard, update our skills, learn new things. We know how to avoid mistakes and when we come to know at that time that we are about to die, then what will happen? The talent that we have taken, the gifts that are within us and which we could have given to the society, could have created a new life for ourselves, we will be deprived of it and for this it is not only necessary to live long but it is the responsibility of all of us and the Japanese have proved the point.

If you go to Japan, there you can see 100-year-old men doing cycling, or 95-year- olds doing gardening, or two-three 110-year-olds laughing together can be found. This is the power of Japan, which has taught the world that our longevity, the secret of staying young, the secret of keeping our teeth safe is not in our genes but in our lifestyle and by making some small changes, we can live comfortably for 115 to 120 years. Apart from this, you can stay healthy and keep yourself energetic completely.

The first ritual that they follow is, "Hara Hajj Bun Mein". Which is our stomach, is the gastro intestinal system. It is a nervous system in itself. That's why it is called second brain, when you feel hungry, a hormone is formed inside it, "Ghrelin". When you take food inside, the stretch receptors are stretched from here and the message goes to your brain stream through the vagus nerve, in the "afferent pathway" the same message comes back from the vagus nerve in the "efferent pathway" that release leptin. What is "Leptin" which gives you a feeling of satisfaction and there in our nervous system misnarsplactors and vacxplactors release leptin in the gut and this gives us satisfaction and we stop eating.

But this work takes 20 minutes and a normal person overeats a lot in this time and you know that eating too much causes metabolic syndrome, we get obesity, our ability to reduce decreases. Yes, genes signal in a negative way, our age goes down, old age comes quickly. That's why the Japanese have found a solution to this, they stop eating only as soon as they are 80% satisfied. Due to this they eat less and stay healthy, another version of this, which is practiced in Congo, where people eat food as slowly as possible. So that the signal goes to the brain and it tells you to stop and friends, it has also been said in our Vedic system that eat food after chewing it 32 times and then chew the food so much that it becomes like water. Drink food and eat water, all this has only one purpose that you eat slowly, eat less and when you eat less then, your intestine gets rest. Your body gets more nutrition, gut will not have to work hard and your life will automatically get longer.

The second one that the Japanese follow is, "They consider food as meditation ritual ". Let us look at our lifestyle, how we eat food today. TV is on, looking at mobile phone, no one cares about anyone on the table and stuffs food in a hurry. But for the Japanese, it is a sacred ritual of theirs, as if it is their worship, a yagya or a meditation. Where they sit, they first eat the food together. They eat sitting on the ground, because whenever you sit on the ground, you balance your back and in this balance our cerebellum, which is a small brain, becomes active. Due to its activity, our whole mind becomes calm, apart from that, the Japanese do not get distracted at that time.

Food is taken in a small plate, so that less food is available and little food is taken, chewing it well and eating it with complete awareness. What happens when you eat with awareness and eat slowly? Our digestion happens on three levels. first from our mouths. Tylin is released from the salivary gland, where starch is digested. Then our stomach, the food that comes here, is digested by gastric lipase and pepsin enzyme and finally when it reaches the small intestine. So there, pancreatic Enzymes, pancreatic Lipase, Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, they digest the food completely. In this way, they have three levels of digestion, but if you believe that you will eat food quickly without awareness, then this upper and stomach one, this digestion will not happen and because of this people get IBS, Food is not digested, it becomes gas and after some time it starts showing on your health, wrinkles appear on the face, food is not digested and due to this your age increases, age becomes younger.

The third point is "They find there ikigai" Friends, if I ask you why "Bhagat Singh" was so fearless? The one who climbed the gallows without any fear or "Albert Einstein" used to work on his project for hours and hours. He did not feel hungry or thirsty, the reason for this is simple. These people found their purpose and started living on their purpose. A data says that 85% people do not like their job because, they are going where they do not want to go, meeting people they do not want to meet and doing less that they do not enjoy and why do they do this?

So that pulses and bread can run, why do they do it? Because they are afraid that they cannot do anything else. But the Japanese or those who have found their purpose are courageous, they know for what purpose I am made. I have to find this work and do the same work, whether it is successful or not. But finding purpose in your life is very important. Because when you find your purpose, don't you walk in your purpose, then life does miracles for you at every step.

I will give the example of "Nikola Tesla", he wanted to go in the field of science. His father used to say, you become a priest, as soon as his father gave permission to enter the field of science, the TB he had started getting cured automatically. This is power, every moment a miracle starts happening in your life and all the powers of the universe support you. Because then you are not doing your work, then you are doing the work of the universe. This is the power to find your purpose, the first step to find the purpose should be to ask yourself the question – which one? Is it less? Whatever I enjoy, I can do it for free and secondly ask for what work or how I can use my gift, my talent inside me properly? By doing this I can make this earth a better place to live. Answer these two questions, you will start getting your purpose.

The fourth point that the Japanese follow is - walk-walk-walk. I met a Chinese teacher once and asked - you talk about energy, what is this energy and why should we exercise? He told that as long as you are walking, there is a power inside you, which gives you, life and energy and that is "CHI" or "CHI" whatever you call it. "CHI I" and as long as you keep moving, this energy also moves in your whole body and as soon as you sit down, you become stagnant. It starts making you old, heart stops working, intestine doesn't work, lungs don't work, diseases start coming. The meaning of saying is that you start increasing your old age and start running fast near death.

This is the power of the movement and perhaps they know this thing, do you know? The sale of cycles in India has increased to 30% today. Because Indians do not want to work hard, whereas in Japan the sale of cycles has increased three times in the last 3 years. All the children there go to their school by cycle and all the adults there also use cycle from their home to reach the metro station or the bus point. This not only reduces pollution. Rather, they have strength, if you want to stay young then you have to exercise, movement has to be installed in your life and when you move your body, feel good chemical, endorphin is released in your brain and endorphin research says that telomerase enzymes are present in the genes of your brain and not in all the cells. Telomerase increases the length of Telomere and we do not get old. Because telomere only defines when we will die and how much our aging will be, if telomere becomes short then understand that we have become old and death is about to come.

But telomerase makes telomeres and the way to make telomerase is to be happy and the way is to exercise. Stretching and strength are two important components. Which should remain in our body, when we stretch the body, no matter how many negative emotions are there. It starts swallowing in our joints, some in the hip joint, some in the elbow joint, and when our bones and muscles get strength, it gives us strength, courage, and the body feels good, energy is felt and this is the reason for the Japanese because of which they remain young, their teeth do not break and they always keep smiling.

You will hardly find someone in Japan who is very fat. They regulate their weight in the same way. That's why you should include movement, or exercise, in your lifestyle or you can roam in the park, you can walk while talking on the phone, you can do some stretching, whatever you do. But when you do this, your old tissues break down and get replaced by new tissues and when you have new tissues, you will look younger, look better, look handsome and the last point is last but not the least "Love and Care" My friend had a brain stroke, his age was not much 36-37 at that time. So, his wife decided that I will not remarry again. He had a son and his father had become very old, was on his bed, he was just preparing to die. But when his son died, he looked at the child and saw that his wife, she has decided that she will remain in his house, so she started going to the gym every day, taking nutritious food, exercising and such practices. Started looking 20 years younger than his age. This is the power of love because they realized that who will take care of this child after I am gone? It needs support and for this I have to reduce my age.

Research has been done on many such people who had love in their life, had a purpose whether they were living for their grandchildren, for their younger children, for their brother, for their wife. Those people started looking younger. But there is a shocking data in India. He is saying, the way our country is growing, in the same way old age homes are also increasing in our country. Because of this there is a lack of love and people start dying early. But there is no old age home in Japan, people in Japan keep old people in their homes because they know that they have experience. Small children play with the elders and the elders keep learning something from the little children, take care of them, this instills love in them and love is "Oxytocin Chemical".  Its research says that only if the level of Oxytocin increases by 30% in your brain and body. You will never be able to get angry, will never be frustrated, your anxiety, depression will disappear, you will not be worried about anything. But the need is to fill your brain and body with love.
