As i read the headlines on yahoo news, i came across the article on about 5 WAYS TO CHEAT DEATH. Is it for real? I thought its only exam that one can be prompted to cheat or a hopeless relationship that is boring can lead to one's cheating and betrayal. Funny, but the writer might have some point though. Let's see. Let me dissect the article to understand the ideas that it conveys. Accordingly, to cheat death one should be:
1. LIVE HIGHER UP
It means that someone should live in higher altitude so as to avoid coronary heart disease. The more exposure to UV rays the more the Vitamin D will be synthesize in our body. Lack of Vitamin D leads to bone disorder and heart disease. I noticed that some foreigners (those who are not filipino) love sun-bathing. But too much exposure to sun can damage your skin and can lead to other disorders. UV rays have damaging effects. That is why Sunblock products that range from spf 10-80 being advertised anywhere in this world so as not to damage our skin. Our ozone layer is already thin unless there will be 100 volcanic eruptions so that the ash will cover up the thinning layer. So sun exposure is not really advisable.
2. Make Relationships Last"Social support is linked to better immune functioning," says study author Julianne Holt- Lunstad, Ph.D., an associate professor of psychology at Brigham Young. I do agree with her. Personal relationship invokes your disposition in life. If you have bad relationship consequently it colors your perception about your life. The clouded and crowded your perceptions are, the more stress you will become.
And remember, stress is one of the contributing factors of different diseases.
3. Brush Your Teeth
I really don't know why brushing teeth is a way to cheat death. Quite confusing. Well anyway, simple rationale. Our mouth is one of the the outlets and inlets of good and bad bacteria. If we seldom brush our teeth, there will be bacteria build-ups that can affect our tonsils. Out throat is near to our esophagus and heart. The bacteria can damage the next prospect organs. And once the heart will be damaged, then eventually it can lead to our death. If you experienced tonsillitis 3x a year, the doctor will advise you to have it remove through surgery so as to protect the heart which will be the next target of bacteria build up.
4. Breathe Clean Air
Oh, i wish my nose has the ability to filter clean and unclean air. With the pollution all over the world, there is only a slim chance to breath fresh clean air.
5. Accept Your Age
Lol! Growing old is just a state of mind. The more you think that you are still you, the less disappointed you are.
I guess, the reasons here are not to cheat death but to accept it. The more we accept it, the more we are prepared. Preparation means that
we are ready to think about death. There shouldn't be sense of denial. The more we are open about death, the more we are going to enjoy life.
