Former South African President Mandela is 91 years old this year, and he was still active on the world political stage a few years ago. Someone once said Mandela: “What power makes you full of vitality?” Mandela replied: The spirit of fraternity plus a strong body.
In fact, Mandela can live long and healthy, besides his fraternity and tolerance, it is very important that he insists on physical exercises all the time.
Mandela himself said that his magic weapon for health can be summarized in two words: activities. Activities are his biggest hobby. Mandela developed the habit of exercising in his early years, and even in his 27-year prison career, he did not give up this habit. Mandela is 1.83 meters tall, but the cell in which Mandela is held is less than 4.5 square meters. In such a small environment, Mandela still insists on physical exercise. Every Monday to Thursday morning, he runs in the cell for 45 minutes and does 100 push-ups, 200 sit-ups, 50 squats and other fitness exercises. In addition, he also uses half an hour of air every day in the yard. Run. Among all ball games, Mandela prefers tennis. In a game, he struggled to save the ball, and his right knee was smashed on the concrete floor, causing a comminuted fracture and sequelae. He is still a little lame in walking. Despite his advanced age, Mandela’s “active” temperament has not changed, but the degree of activity has decreased. Now his daily “compulsory course” is walking. Sometimes, he would walk out of the house and walk along the street. When he saw pedestrians, he would take the initiative to greet them, just like meeting old friends.
It is the nature of many African nations to love dancing and singing, and Mandela is no exception. When attending a celebration rally or encountering something happy, Mandela likes to dance. There was such an incident. Next to Mandela’s house, there was a “Kayson Art Academy” run by a Chinese in South Africa. One day in September 1999, Mandela heard the singing from the school while walking, and walked in. The school gate. When I heard that the students were rehearsing the program for the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of New China, Mandela said: “I know that the National Day of New China is October 1.” He asked, “Will you sing the “Long March Song” ?” Then sang loudly with everyone. Mandela was still in the mood and danced with everyone happily. The brisk dance and flexible body are really invisible. This is an eighty-year-old old man suffering from leg problems. Mandela is such a person who likes to exercise in happiness and obtain happiness in sports, and he also won health and longevity.
Facts have proved that singing and dancing are healthy activities that are very beneficial to the body and mind. When accompanied by rhythmic music, twisting to your heart’s content can effectively move your muscles and bones, strengthen blood circulation throughout the body, and promote the metabolism of muscles and tissues. At the same time, dancing can help relax the nervous nerves, bring endless joy to the heart, and it is also very effective in eliminating depression and transferring bad emotions.
