Zhang zhang ping, a north song man, retired and lived in nanjing。
He wrote to his friends saying that he only ate two meals a day, and that he ate only 78 cents a day。
The letter reads: “i have recently asked for nothing more than to eat and sleep well in every meal.”
An old friend of his replied:
"when you were young, you could eat three bowls of rice, and now you're only 7 or 8? Can't you go on?"
Zhang squared back to the phrase, "when you're young, you eat quantified, and now you eat quantified."
In one sentence, the wisdom to eat when you're old。
I. Young people eat "measure" and old people eat "meat"
When i was a kid, my old man used to say, "it's good to eat."
In times of material deprivation, it is indeed a blessing to eat much。
But times have changed and people have grown old。
The digestive system is not as powerful as it was when you were young。
The creeping of the stomach slows down, the digestive enzyme is reduced, and the food that is eaten is slowly disintegrated and drained。
At a young age, a meal can carry five or six hours and the same amount in the stomach later on will have to be processed more slowly。
That is why many elderly people, after eating, feel “cooled” and “difficult”。
It's not too much. It's slow。
Zhang ping said "eat," not "eat" but "eat"。
When you were young, you had to eat with heavy oil and salt, and your tongue was spoiled by “smelt”, and you could not taste the raw food。
When you get old, your taste gets colder, you'll be able to taste rice, vegetables and fresh soup。
It's not a deterioration of taste, it's the “freedom” of the tongue。
When you were young, you ate a “mass” picture。
When you're old, you eat "smell" and you ask for "comfort"。
You don't have to eat "all" but "yes"
Many people have a obsession that every meal must be “meat, food, soup” and so on。
After retirement, they spend a lot of time thinking。
Buying food, preparing food, cooking, working for half a day, making a big table, and then eating it out, and getting tired。
In lu's spring and autumn, there is a saying: “the way to eat, there is no hunger, there is no need to eat.”
Don't eat too much, don't starve, it's good to be dirty。
When young, the body needs a great deal of energy to sustain growth and labour, and it needs “all”。
Older children are slow to thank, less consumed, and every one of them is counted。
One nutritionist said, "eat right, it's 10,000 times more important than all."
Eat right, eat right at the right time。
You don't have to have "four dishes and a soup" every meal, and you don't have to have "the smell of mountains."。
Seven cents, hot meals, fresh food, better than anything。
I can't eat my whole body, i can't take it。
You don't have to eat fast, but eat slow
There's an old saying: "eat is easy."
The translation is: eat slowly。
Why? Because the stomach reports to the brain "i'm full," it takes about 20 minutes。
You eat too fast, your brain doesn't get a signal, you've eaten too much。
And when it comes back, you're holding on。
In his late 80s he was asked how to raise a child。
He said, "i don't have a secret. I eat slowly."
When he was a young man, he was in a hurry to eat and suffered from stomach disease。
I changed my life. He eats half an hour after he finishes a meal in 10 minutes。
They asked him how he did it, and he said, "twenty times a meal. Don't swallow, don't bite."
In the monograph, confucius says, "leave."
You don't talk, you don't talk, you don't talk, you don't eat。
Eat slowly and the stomach can keep up. The stomach's on it. Seven cents of it。
The table slows down and the day slows down。
It's not hard to eat a “seven-point meal”, but it's hard to eat slowly, enjoyably and enjoy it。
The speed of eating is the rhythm of your life。
As for those who swallow, the days panic, and as for those who chew slowly, the days are steady。
A neighbor said:
"i changed the habit of eating, and the biggest change in the family was not the body, but the atmosphere on the table。
The family used to eat in 10 minutes and go back to the house。
Now it's slow, and the atmosphere in the family has changed
Good eating habits, stomach, heart, home warm。
Seven cents to feed, three cents slow to feed. It's easy to eat。
For the rest of your life, did you find that "just right" feeling? Talk to the comment section。
Light 'em up. May we all eat every meal。
