Li Ching-Yuen: The man with 256 years of existence, but how?

-






Have you ever heard of Li Ching-Yuen? The 256 year-old Herbalist who lived on a diet of Herbs. Is this a Myth or real? Here’s what we know.


According to the world record, Mbah Gotho, 145 years old has the record of longest human existence. But that doesn’t mean that somebody hasn’t lived longer. Li Ching-Yuen from China supposedly lived for 256 years. It is quite questionable, after all its only very rarely that people cross the 100 year mark, 256 seems highly unlikely.





Li Ching-Yuen started working as a herbalist from the tender age of 10, he gathered herbs such as lingzhi, goji berry, wild ginseng, he shoo wu and gotu kola among others from the mountain ranges of China. (a)


He had also traveled to Kansu, Sansi, Tibet, Annam Siam and Manchuria for the express purpose of gathering herbs. He learned about the various properties of the herbs and how they can increase one’s longevity.





For almost 40 years, his diet only consisted of many different kinds of herbs and rice wine. He was a herbalist, martial artist and a military adviser. (a)
He joined the Chinese army as a martial arts teacher. After an illustrious career in the military, he retired and continued to gather herbs of various kinds. He even started selling herbs gathered by others.


Li summed up his secret to a long life in one simple statement, “Keep a quiet heart, sit like a tortoise, walk sprightly like a pigeon and sleep like a dog.” He added that one’s state of mind plays a large role in their longevity.




The average lifespan of a human being in the developed countries is somewhere between 65 to 75 years. Despite advances in medicine, that hasn’t changed in sometime. The changes in weather, unhealthy food habits and pollution are some of the factors that are causing premature d3ath. (a)


And since very few people cross the threshold of 100 years, it is quite understandable why most people can’t be easily convince about anyone claiming to be 256 years old.



But just because it doesn’t happen often doesn’t mean it can never happen at all. A healthy diet and active lifestyle does help increase human lifespan, science has already proven that.(a)
So, it is quite possible that Li Ching-Yuen did live 256 years because of his stress free lifestyle and good eating habits. It is quite possible that most everyone can reach the age of 100 if they treated their bodies right.



Live peacefully. Love everything around you and Laugh a lot. Maybe, you can also reach at least 100 years of human existence.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. A jealous wife in China chopped off her cheating husband’s penis as he slept, then snuck into his hospital room after he had it sewn back on — and hacked it off again and tossed it out the window. Fan Lung, a dad of five, sealed his fate when he decided to use his wife’s cellphone to send his secret lover a hot and heavy email, Central European News reports. The 32-year-old forgot to log out of his account after the message was sent, which is how his 21-year-old wife, Feng — who is now under arrest for grievous bodily harm — came across the saucy exchange and snapped. The jilted wife went berserk, grabbed a pair of scissors, stormed into their bedroom and cut off his penis while he was sleeping. Lung was rushed to the hospital, where doctors were able to save the appendage and sew it back on. But Feng was able to sneak into the recovery room, where she chopped his penis off a second time ...
