Ted英语演讲：挑战病魔：辛西娅·肯尼娅:昭示长寿的实验

美国加州大学河滨分校教授霍华德&middot弗里德曼和莱斯利&middot马丁在《长寿计划》一书中，报告了对一批人从10岁长期追踪到死亡的研究结果。他们肯定了工作压力过大、老板凶恶的坏处，那会使员工们容易用酗酒、吸毒等不良方式应对，从而损害了健康，增加了死亡的风险。研究还发现，关注生命健康的人的确更长寿，因为他们定期检查身体，听从医生的建议，遵守医嘱吃药，做足佩戴安全带等安全措施。这项研究最有意思的发现，是做事坚持不懈者面对挑战会积极地迎难而上，会更加健康长寿。人们通常认为，工作压力会缩短寿命，于是希望摆脱辛劳，获得&ldquo财务自由&rdquo之后移民到热带乐土过着快乐的退休生活。实际上，

一个人来到这个世界之上，从小到老，风风雨雨几十年，不可能一切都尽如人意，若把诸多不如意都憋在肚子里，时间一长，恐怕就会生出病来。巴西老年病专家戈麦斯经过长期的观察指出：&ldquo长期处于忧郁状态，会引起过多的肾上腺素和皮质类胆固醇的产生，它除了降低机体的抵抗力外，还会加速产生单胺氧化酶，加快人体衰老进程，造成麻木、沮丧、疲倦。&rdquo这就进一步说明忧郁无异于一个隐形杀手。而消除这一隐形杀手的最好方式就是将长期积郁在胸的忧愤释放出来。首先要忘记过去。人到了老年要学会自我解脱，对过去的事情做到不耿耿于怀，不纠缠不休。只有达到了忘我境地，才能达到心净，而心净则是养生长寿的重要诀窍之一。其次要知
