[xtypo_dropcap]F[/xtypo_dropcap]amous Zen master Shi Xiqian, of the Tang Dynasty, had a peculiar recipe for the secrets of good health and longevity: “One part is the stomach; another is a kind and merciful heart. A few grams of tenderness. Three pieces of wisdom. Sincerity and honesty are important. One hundred percent filial piety and honesty and proper use of all the virtues.”

Recently a Brazilian doctor named Martins, after 10 years of studies, found that most long-lived people were good and respectable.

Good people are kind to others, often visit other people, and rarely fight with others for fame and fortune. They respect the elderly and protect children. They are naturally respected by the people around them. Their minds are calm. They have good relationships and are happy.

In this atmosphere, the neuroendocrine system is quiet and orderly. The physiology functions so that the body performs well; immunity and good bodily health occur naturally.

In his research, Martins discovered the relationship of certain acts with the proper functioning of the body. Selfish people always think about their own good, are extremely jealous, compete to profit more, and often live on the alert.

These intangible factors psychologically push the boundaries of the cerebral cortex to a high state of tension, resulting in organ and immune system dysfunction and leading to various diseases. A selfish mentality does not lead to a long life.
