Excuse me. Chazov was betrayed by colleagues and students. He never took revenge. He forgave and moved on. That ability to let go of the negative was key to his well-being.
Live with purpose. It’s not about having great achievements, but about having a reason to get up every morning. According to Chazov, a goal, no matter how small, sustains the body and soul.
Don’t overload yourself emotionally. Silent stress, which is not expressed or recognized, is the most lethal. Recognizing and releasing it is vital.
Eat in moderation, but without guilt. Chazov did not follow strict diets. He drank tea with sugar, ate bread and sausages, and avoided only lard, fat, and smoked foods. The most important thing, he said, is not to abuse.
Stay away from negativity. Not just the TV. Also about people, routines, and environments that drain your energy. Peace of mind is a medicine that is not sold, but it is chosen.
Take care of your nervous system. According to him, nearly half of people live with intermittent depression. The key to avoiding heart disease is to cultivate optimism and strengthen the mind.
Tips and recommendations for a longer, healthier life
I reduced the consumption of television to a minimum, especially sensationalist programs or programs loaded with bad news.
Make time for activities that bring you joy, such as walking, talking, reading, or simply resting in silence.
Create a serene environment in your home, with fewer screens and more space for dialogue or rest.
