On May 27 this year, Henry Kissinger, the former Secretary of State and famous diplomat of the United States, celebrated his 100th birthday.On July 18th, Kissinger visited Beijing, and at such an advanced age, he was still able to take over 10 hours of cross ocean flights to China for high-intensity activities.

From the news video, it can be seen that this centenarian is still agile and has completely normal thinking and cognition, which makes people curious. What is the secret to Kissinger's healthy and long life?

However, the answer is surprising! Kissinger's lifestyle habits are completely unhealthy lifestyles that we do not advocate:Regularly staying up late, loving high-quality pork chops, not interested in exercise, drinking alcohol!

And it's amazing that Kissinger has also undergone multiple heart surgeries, suffered from stroke, osteoporosis, and other diseases. Looking around the world, there are really few people who can still travel freely and travel like Kissinger at the age of 100. What is his secret?

Why can unhealthy lifestyle habits lead to healthy longevity?

Health and wellness have always been the focus of people's attention, and we often hear cases of people with unhealthy habits such as smoking, drinking, and not exercising being able to live a long and healthy life, which seems to go against the healthy lifestyle we understand.

However, the relationship between longevity and genes may be the key to explaining this phenomenon.

Firstly, we need to understand the impact of genes on human health. Genes are the Genetic material in our bodies, which carry the genetic information we inherit from our parents. Genes determine our physical characteristics, physiological functions, and susceptibility to diseases. Some people are born with a strong genetic advantage, which means that their negative impact on certain unhealthy lifestyle habits may be weakened.

Unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as smoking and drinking, are two common unhealthy habits that are widely associated with various health issues. Smoking increases the risk of lung cancer, heart disease and Respiratory disease, while excessive drinking may lead to liver disease and cardiovascular problems.

However, some people may have weaker responses to these hazards due to the role of genes. For example, they may have stronger detoxification abilities, which can more effectively remove harmful substances from the body, thereby reducing the harm of smoking and drinking to the body.

In addition, genes can also affect our metabolism and immune system. Metabolism refers to the way the body processes food and energy, which directly affects our weight and energy levels. Some people are born with a higher metabolic rate, which allows them to consume calories more effectively and reduce the risk of fat accumulation. This means that even if they consume more high calorie foods, they are less likely to gain weight. In addition, some people's immune systems may be stronger and more effective in resisting diseases and infections.

In addition to genes, environmental factors may also play a role in this phenomenon. Some people live in relatively healthy environments and may have better dietary habits, less stress, and better social support. These factors can compensate for the negative effects of bad lifestyle habits, thereby promoting health and longevity.

Returning to Kissinger, based on various sources of information, we believe that there are three main secrets to Kissinger's longevity: firstly, with excellent longevity genes, both his father and mother passed away in their 90s. Secondly, he loves work, which allows him to maintain a fulfilling mindset and have sufficient connections with the outside world. Thirdly, good medical security. As a renowned politician and successful individual, his medical security is clearly unmatched by ordinary people.

What should ordinary people do to maintain health and longevity?

As ordinary people, most of our genes are also ordinary, which means that we cannot imitate people with absolutely excellent longevity genes, imitate their bad lifestyle habits, and the consequences can be fatal!

We cannot ignore the harm of bad lifestyle habits just because of some cases. A large amount of scientific research has proven that unhealthy eating, smoking, drinking alcohol, and lack of exercise have significant negative effects on health. These unhealthy lifestyle habits can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, and other chronic diseases. Therefore, we still strongly recommend that people follow a healthy lifestyle, including quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, and actively participating in sports.

For most people, we need to realize that genes are not the only factor that determines our destiny. Although some people may have strong genetic advantages, the key to healthy and long life still lies in a comprehensive lifestyle. A balanced diet, moderate exercise, good psychological state, and positive social relationships are all important factors for healthy longevity. Therefore, we should strive to improve our lifestyle in order to improve our health and quality of life.

In short, although Kissinger has unhealthy lifestyle habits, he can live a long and healthy life, but this does not mean that these unhealthy lifestyle habits are advisable. Genes may to some extent alleviate the negative effects of these habits on the body, but the key to healthy and long life still lies in a comprehensive lifestyle. We should adhere to healthy lifestyle habits to improve our health level and quality of life# Kissinger # # High reception during Kissinger's visit to China makes the White House "unhappy"#
