“The grandfather wrapped the grandmother in a rag,
I poured water on her,
To make young.
He unfolded it and sniffed it:
– Oh! You sound like an old woman!?
Folklore
How I loved the production of Karel Čapek's “The Makropulos Affair,” starring Nellie Kornienko. I watched it on television, spellbound, many times. It never got boring. And the show's greatest secret—as a young girl then, I longed to know the recipe for this wonderful remedy that allows the main character to stay forever young. Over the years, I've come to understand what makes a person look younger, what gives them the strength to remain young at heart. People with an active lifestyle and a good mood, who look for the positive in everything, have a lot of rejuvenating hormones, the hormones of happiness. Scientists have found that these hormones alone can extend life by 20-30 percent.
Doctors say the “Makropulos Remedy”—the secret to youth—is a healthy spine and slender legs. I agree with this statement. A hunched back instantly makes a person look ten years older. Spinal health is overall health. The spine is the foundation of life. Massage, acupuncture, and spinal exercises are best done preventatively, without waiting for the first signs of ill health.
What other components contribute to a youthful body and soul? Beautiful skin and hair. What can help us achieve this? A steam room, of course! In a steam room, the pores open, and sweating and cleansing occurs. This doesn't happen in a warm bath, because the water itself interferes with sweating.
People who regularly go to the banya look younger. This is because their bodies are regularly cleansed through the skin, actively removing toxins. Their circulation improves, fat is burned in problem areas, and their metabolism increases. And the gentle steam on the skin eliminates dryness and sagging. So, be sure to go to the banya! I love it so much! It's a real ritual for us. It's a chance to meet up with your favorite friends, get a delicious chocolate wrap, just chat, and drink delicious tea. Don't deprive yourself of this pleasure—it's all in one—benefit, health, and socializing.
Proper nutrition. Who would argue! Fasting and dietary restrictions also yield excellent results in terms of rejuvenation. Throughout history, people have sought the elixir of longevity. To prolong life, the ancient Egyptians consumed large quantities of garlic. V.I. Dontsov writes: “Thinkers and physicians of various eras devoted considerable attention to the treatment of diseases in the elderly and summarized their experience in prolonging life. Avicenna (980-1037) summarized the medical achievements of previous generations in this area. We find descriptions of remedies for rejuvenation and immortality in the manuscripts of medieval alchemists. But neither the elixirs of life nor the philosopher's stone allowed the eminent alchemists themselves to live beyond 100 years.”
I really like Alexey Faleev's methods. This rejuvenation recipe is exactly his.
How to get rid of wrinkles at any age.
The recipe is unusual, but very effective – after a few months, it smooths out wrinkles even in 60-year-olds.
After every meal (15-30 minutes), place a small amount (up to 1 gram) of salt on your tongue, dissolve it, and swallow. Initially, to speed up the effect, you can do this 10 times a day, for example, every hour. But it's essential to do this after every meal. This is because dissolving and swallowing salt causes a release of insulin, which is what helps smooth out wrinkles. What could be simpler? The main thing is to remember to do it! We're getting younger, so multiple sclerosis isn't a threat to us.
Aksakals live long lives—everyone knows that. But few know that it's all about the 12 commandments. Back in 1912, the Turkestan newspaper “Kara-Kut” published them in Russian. Now all that's left is to follow these simple rules and wait for your centenary. Try it…
1. Spend more time outdoors.
2. Go to bed and get up early.
3. Get at least six and no more than seven and a half hours of sleep.
4. Drink tea and coffee occasionally, but give up alcohol and tobacco completely.
5. Eat meat no more than once a day.
6. Take a hot bath every morning.
7. Burn silk and wear clothes made of coarse material.
8. Take a rest once a week, without bothering yourself with reading and writing on this day.
9. Avoid too much worry and excessive mental work.
10. If you are single, take a wife; if you are a widower, find a girlfriend.
11. Avoid too hot rooms.
12. Restore organs worn out and depleted by age by eating the corresponding organs of animals.
Live long and happily! Happiness also prolongs life!
