The Secret to Longevity | 养生之道

English Original

A 76-year-old man visited a doctor for a general health check-up.

The doctor examined him thoroughly and said, "Everything is fine." As the man paid his fee, the doctor asked, "Have you followed any regimen to stay physically fit?"

"Well," the old man replied, "when I got married fifty years ago, my wife and I made an agreement: when I lost my temper, she would remain silent; when she lost hers, I would leave the house. So, for over fifty years, I've enjoyed a fine outdoor life. That is undoubtedly the reason I've stayed healthy."

一位76岁的老人去看医生,做了一次常规健康检查。

医生给他做了全面检查后说:“一切都很好。”老人付费时,医生问道:“您有什么养生之道来保持身体健康吗?”

“嗯,”老人回答道,“五十年前我结婚时,和妻子约定:当我发脾气时,她保持沉默;当她发脾气时,我就离开家。所以,五十多年来,我一直享受着美好的户外生活。这无疑就是我保持健康的原因。”
