There is a saying circulating on the Internet:
"One idol a year, Andy Lau for a hundred years."
Every Spring Festival, Andy Lau's "Wishing you prosperity" can always be spread all over the streets, and in the festive blessings, the taste of the year is getting stronger and stronger.
And Andy Lau himself, after decades have passed, is still an excellent model in the hearts of countless people.
In addition to his talent, hard work and character, his unwavering living habits over the years have helped him shape an excellent physical and mental state, which is also the envy of many people.
Some people say:
"After so many years of time, it is difficult to see the traces of time from his appearance, and I really admire his strict management of himself."
And the gap between people often stems from these four words - self-management.
When a person reaches middle age, the highest way to live is actually self-examination, self-discipline, and self-healing.
01
As the old saying goes:
"Eat modestly, live regularly."
The so-called "moderation of diet" mainly refers to a reasonable diet.
Eat three meals a day, do a good job of nutrition, try to achieve regular and quantitative measures, and avoid overindulgence.
"Routine" means that work and rest should be regular and life should have a reasonable and stable rhythm.
Andy Lau has developed a reasonable and healthy diet many years ago.
In an interview, he once shared his "secret" of taking care of his body, and talked about the pattern of three meals a day:
Every morning, for the sake of convenience and without losing time at work, he chooses yogurt and cereal, which he has been doing for decades.
For lunch, he is used to eating some nutritious cereals.
Pair it with plain cheese, boiled chicken, vegetables, and more to replenish all the nutrients your body needs.
In the evening, cereals are still the main food.
Brown rice and whole grains are usually chosen, paired with vegetables and protein, to ensure a balanced nutrition while controlling calorie intake as much as possible.
His meals basically adhere to the principle of less oil and less salt, and he will not overeat, nor will he covet a momentary appetite.

In the long run, not only can you provide a stable supply of energy to your body, but you can also maintain a good figure.
Avoid health risks caused by weight spikes or high indicators.
Good habits make a person's life, and bad habits ruin a person's life.
After middle age, cultivate habits that are beneficial to the body and mind.
Only by having a regular rhythm of life and knowing how to reflect on yourself from time to time can you live more and more freely.
In a speech, Yu Minhong also talked about a personal experience:
One year, when he went on vacation, he saw many people sleeping until the afternoon before going out to the beach to bask in the sun.
In the middle of the night, everyone gathers at the bar and plays until midnight.
He felt that most people were like that, and he wanted to try this model as well.
But when he was in a bar late at night, wrapped in noise for a long time, he only felt physically and mentally unwell.
It didn't take long before he left in a hurry.
When he returned to his room, he calmed down, tidied himself up, picked up the book and read it carefully for a while before going to sleep.
The next morning, he got up, turned on the computer, and started working, using the most waking hours of the morning to enrich himself.
Talking about the past, Yu Minhong said frankly:
"These habits have become part of my genes, and it is thanks to good habits that I have a better life."
When people are young, they indulge themselves in the swamp of desire, and they will faint all day long, overeat, smoke and drink for a long time, etc., which will only leave a deep pit that they cannot step over in middle age.
And the good habits that you have developed when you are young for decades, insisting on eating well, going to bed early and waking up early, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, etc., will help you become a better version of yourself on the road of life.
Chen Daoming said a very reasonable sentence:
"Temperance is the greatest enjoyment of life, the release of material and spiritual is easy, but the difficult thing is temperance."
To live to the extreme is to know how to be restrained in life and restrained in desire.
In the second half of life, don't overdraw your life and take good care of your body, which is the premise of happiness.

An article in the World Journal stated:
The study found that "people who exercise regularly have 52% more happiness than those who do not exercise regularly".
The process of exercise can not only rejuvenate a person's body and keep it young, but also dispel a person's troubles and relieve inner pressure.
Consistent exercise is beneficial to physical and mental health, and is also conducive to the improvement of quality of life.
Andy Lau has been in the entertainment industry for 40 years, and has always had a strong management ability for his figure.
In the eyes of many people, his figure doesn't seem to have changed much over the years.
As he grew older, he never gave up exercising to build a healthy body.
In addition to work, he sets aside a period of free time every day to go to the gym, exercising for more than half an hour to maintain his best condition.

Running, lifting dumbbells, aerobic exercise, etc., in the days of sweating and rain, he found the best appearance of life.
In his opinion, if people want to maintain a healthy body and a perfect body, they must exercise consistently.
Zhou Ling has a point of view that is very profound:
"People who exercise a lot have an ecosystem like a clear spring;
For sedentary people, the internal ecology is more like a pool of stagnant water. ”
On the way to getting old, force yourself to become a self-disciplined person and live a self-disciplined life.
Strengthen the body through exercise, insist on exercising to strengthen physical fitness, the more self-disciplined people are, the younger they will live.
At the "Temple of Heaven Award" award ceremony, "National Grandma" Wu Yanshu won the title of actress.
Looking at her elegant and calm posture, many people shouted "admiration".
Wu Yanshu said that although she is older, she still likes to play basketball like a young person and make herself active.
When she's not working, she does planks and exercises a variety of fitness movements.
Due to the good physical fitness gained from long-term exercise, she can sometimes go out to see the world alone and enjoy a wonderful life.
As Wu Yanshu said:
"People are like machines, if you leave them alone and don't move them, they will grow old and rust.
Be curious, self-motivated, and you will always be young. ”
Instead of wasting time, continue to be lazy, give up the management of the body, and do not pay attention to the maintenance of health.
It's better to start exercising, find a way to exercise that suits you, and be worthy of every inch of time in your limited life.
People who are self-disciplined and those who are not self-disciplined live diametrically opposed lives.
Please believe that time is the best criterion for testing results, and it must be a highly self-disciplined person who goes to the end.

During the live broadcast, Dong Yuhui told a story that happened around him:
One year, before the harvest season, a sudden hailstorm smashed the fruit on the tree.
Seeing the fruit trees that had been cultivated so hard to become like this, everyone felt bad in their hearts, and it was difficult to accept this result.
Although grandma was distressed, she didn't complain.
Instead, he silently picked up the fallen fruit, wiped it clean, put it in a bag, and brought it home.
Due to the hailstorm that had just fallen, the way back was muddy and every step was difficult.
He looked down and saw that his grandmother's knees were covered in mud, but she kept walking forward without saying a word.
In the face of unpredictable accidents and irreparable losses, most people will be immersed in depressed emotions and tie a knot in their hearts.
But Dong Yuhui's grandmother accepted all the changes, she gave the green apples that she couldn't eat at all to the neighbors, and asked them to feed the cattle and sheep.
The rest of the fruit is then collected and put into jars to make fruit vinegar.
Grandma has endured a lot of hardships in her life, and she has experienced constant ups and downs.
But she still came out of the abyss of fate with a smile, and she could harvest a little sweet and sour apple cider vinegar.
When you think about it, that's the power of mindset.
Allow everything to happen, accept the impermanence of life, face up to all encounters, and stop mental exhaustion.
Before Andy Lau became famous, he also stumbled all the way, and there were many ups and downs.
Some media reported that Andy Lau was the "actor who suffered the most bad reviews" that year.
In the face of accusations that others have commented that he is a "vase", he does not explain;
He never took the cynicism of others to heart.
Someone asked him:
"What do you think of these doubts?"
He smiled and said:
"Don't refute every word, but reflect on every word."
Talking about the ups and downs in the past, he didn't care:
"This is life, if you want to be the protagonist of your life, you have to accept all the things that are against your heart and what is going well."
The environment is created by the heart, and things change with the heart.
Really powerful people know how to accept the gains and losses of life, learn to heal themselves, and reserve rich spiritual energy.
As Jia Pingwa wrote in the book:
“人的一生，苦也罷，樂也罷，得也罷，失也罷。
The important thing is that there can be no moonlight in a clear spring in the heart. ”
In the second half of your life, please be your own doctor and heal your heart.
In the second half of life, a sound mindset is the best way to reduce the burden on life and empower life.
