Today, I will write on a new series on 'chi'.
Much of Chinese Studies on life and longevity have been destroyed during the Cultural Revolution in China in 1950s and 1960s.
Instead of measuring lifespan in terms of heartbeats, Chinese tradition measures lives by counting breaths. When a person's alotted number of breaths expires, his life ends.
Chinese regards a human's normal lifespan to be 100 years. It should not be 70 or 80years. Compare maturity-to-lifespan ratio with other primates like cats, dogs, monkeys. A dog for example reaches maturity within 1 to 2 years. It's normal lifespan is 12 to 14 years. The ratio is 2/14 or 1/7. Human reaches maturity around 15 years, if the ratio is also 1/7, then the normal lifespan should be 105 !
But the toll of stressful living, pollution and pressure has shortened the 'normal' lifespan of human considerably.
There are 2 broad approaches to increase 'chi' and increase longevity. External Elixir and Internal Elixir
External Elixir refers to 1) diet 2) Physical Exercise 3) life-prolonging herbal supplements. I will only touch on diet in this blog entry.
By far the best life-prolonging diet available is freshly extracted juices of fresh raw fruits and raw vegetables. These are chock full of living enzymes, the only nutritional element capable of carrying the vital spark of life ('chi') into the human system.
Raw fruits and vegetables are 'live' food with 'chi'. Cooked food is 'dead' food with very little 'chi'.
Besides providing 'chi' raw fruit and vegetable juices are the best source of organic vitamins and minerals, as well as amino acids which the body requires to replenish dead and damaged cells. These minerals do not require long hours of digestion and the body could absorb them in a very short time.
Now you know why Japanese have longer lifespan! They eat lots of raw fish and vegetables, filled with 'chi'.
