赵金香宗师之中华医疗养生问答 Q & A on Healthy Living by Grandmaster Zhao Jin-Xiang (No. 20)

20．中外公认延年益寿方法是什么？

答：中外公认延年益寿方法是“低热量膳食”，说详细了就是吃饭七八分饱。据美国科学家实验：100只猴子随便它吃饱，另外100只猴子吃七八分饱，定量定食。结果10年观查，敞开随便吃的100只猴子胖猴多，脂肪肝多，冠心病多，高血压多，100只猴子死了50只。另外100只猴子吃七八分饱，苗条、健康、精神，状态好，很少得病，100只猴子10年只死了12只，现在一直还养着，观察到最后，所有长寿的猴子，都是每天定食定量吃七八分饱的猴子。我们的传统中医有一句老话：“若要身体安，三分饥和寒”。美国一位著名的专家，在中国讲课，结束时说，我送给大家两句话：“一是吃饭七八分饱，二是上楼走路慢跑”。这样可以预防糖尿病、冠心病、高压。

What is the universally accepted method for longevity?

The universally accepted method for longevity is “low calorie diet”. This in actual fact means eat till you are about 70 to 80% full. There was an experiment made by American scientists: 100 monkeys were allowed to eat freely. The other 100 monkeys were allowed to eat till 70 to 80% full with predefined quantity and time. 10 years later, half of the 100 monkeys that were allowed to eat freely died. The remaining fifty were unhealthy. They suffered from high fat content, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure. For the other group of 100 monkeys that were allowed to eat till you are about 70 to 80% full, only 12 died. The remainders are in good shape, healthy, alert and active and seldom fell sick. They are still around for further observation. There is a traditional saying in Chinese medical theory: “If you want your body well, go for 30% hunger and cold.” A famous American health specialist who gave lecture in China said in his concluding remarks: “First, eat till you are 70 to 80% full. Second, walk slowly when you go upstairs”. This way, diabetes, coronary heart disease and high blood pressure can be prevented.
