Unique Health Systems: Anti-Aging Gymnastics by Nikolai Amosov

Man of Experiment

The entire Soviet Union was aware of the gymnastics developed by famous cardiologist Nikolai Amosov, but fewpeople knew that Nicolay Mikhailovich never purposefully did physical exercises when he was young. His set ofexercises was created for a very prosaic reason: in 1952 raging pain in spine made him unable to performoperations.

In time the famous doctor invented his own way to overcome ageing by means of significant increase of physicalactivity. Within 3 months he gradually increased physical load on himself thrice. It was an obvious success, butlater ill health overset Amosovs plans.Ha said: I managed to avoid heart attack, but I didnt avoid innumerous heart diseases. In 1986 NicolaiMikhailovich was implanted a cardiac stimulator, in 1998 a prosthetic valve. He was shunted twice in 1998.

Amosov successfully underwent the operations and started doing exercises again. Now his set of exercisescontained 2500-3000 moves, half of them was performed with 5-kilos dumbbells. Amosov did gymnastics severaltimes a day. Of course, the famous surgeon jogged not 5 kilometers as he did at the beginning of his experiment,but about 1,5 kilometers . I do jog, but no one can stop aging. As one of the outstanding persons said: Aging isnot good, but it is the only way to live a bit longer Nicolai Amosov says. Anyone can envy him for his optimism.

Health can be measured

People think little about what health is. Health is the adequate performance of body organs, functions of whichcan be measured. But it can happen so that all indices if measurements are normal, but if a man starts traininghimself and worrying, he may suddenly find himself in hospital. Thats why a mans wellness should be measuredaccording to the reserve capacities of the organism.

For example, the heart of an ordinary man at rest pumps over 5 liters of blood, when a sportsman is training theamount of blood pumped over can run up to 20 liters of blood, while a detrained mans heart can pump over only6 liters of blood.

Some people intrinsically have robust health. But not all of them manage to keep fit. This happens because healthis also influenced by the genes and the way of living in former times when a man had to move a lot. Now peoplehave to perform 50 times less physical job in comparison with that 100 years ago! An of course, the health isinfluenced by ecology, though for an initially healthy man its influence is evidently exaggerated.

Why do p eople so of ten turn s ick?

To my mind, if all people kept healthy life-style, 90% of them would be healthy. But unfortunately, only will-powerhelps us to maintain healthy life-style. Few people possess will-power

What does constitute the way of life I propagate? Unlike people adherent to diets and special exercises, I proposenothing specific. On the contrary, I consider all these up-to-date methods to be fiddlesticks. All you need isminimum physical exercises. The organism of a man of any age requires 20 minutes gymnastics a day plus

walking. To keep fit out organism requires an hour of physical activity a day, especially for people over 40 yearsold.

The process of aging may start at any age (sooner or later), but all people need half an hour of active walking aday, as well as jogging and half an hour of gymnastics with dumbbells a day. Moreover the dumbbells areobligatory: 2-3-kilo dumbbells would be good, because just waiving hands is not enough: muscles don t work. Ithas been programmed by nature that muscle mass gradually decreases with age. And the muscles turn into fat.So, you have to exercise again and again. Dont make allowances for aging.

Whats more, dont allow any body weight gain, which is a sure sign of eutrophy. A man should have low andstable weight. A man with quite developed muscular system can calculate the appropriate weight for him bysubtracting 100 from his height. If muscle system is not developed subtract 110 from height.

They say rural food is the best. Healthy and simple

Theoretically you can eat everything you want. But for all that your ration should contain not less then 300 gramsof raw and vegetable food. And the question about the importance of animal food is not the most important one.

Of course, meat contains amino acids, which are absent in other types of food and its hard for our organism toextract them. But theoretically out organism can do without meat.

Meditation for Falling Asleep

Do you think that 20-40 year ago o ur nat ion w as stronger and heal thier then today?

Decline in health is observed because the nation experiences psychological stress. I wouldnt call what ishappening now a real stress, but anyway its not normal. Frightening figures show that indices of age-specificmortality among able-bodied male in our country aged 20-60 are twice or even thrice higher then in civilizedcountries. Female live from 8 to 10 years longer then male, though the difference in their lifetime should make upabout 2-5 years.

Stress-preventive measures are very important today. One needs at least to have sufficient sleep for relaxation.Every man has his own sleep requirements, but on the average 8 hours are enough. Recently I am trying tobecome familiar wit the meditation technique: 20 minutes I sit relaxed. At the same time it is important toconcentrate on breathing. Meditating helps me to fall asleep.

As far as alcohol is concerned, a small dose of it is even health-giving. But tobacco is harmful by all means.

In your opin ion, what is reason fo r cancer development?

The number of cancer carriers in the world remains the same (except for the carriers of cancer of lungs).Moreover, the number of stomach cancer carriers even reduced. Cancer used to be one of the main causes ofdeath (the 2nd -3rd place) and this statistics remains. But few people take into account that within the last 50years lifetime has become longer, while cancer carriers are mainly elderly population.

False Pills Work Wonders

Taking into considerat ion out po or econom ic status, what type of medicine wi l l be in demand in the

society?

The way medicine will be developed is difficult to forecast. On the one hand, we have no money; on the otherhand, there are a lot of types of drugs. Here a very unpleasant nuance arises. Physicians are inclined toexpensive medicine. A patient can be treated either by domestically produces, cheap, approved drugs or by

foreign pills, which are just a little more effective, but 3 or 4 times more expensive. That is why the main task ofthe national medicine is to find inexpensive methods of treatment.

As far as folk and official medicine is concerned, they shouldnt be set off against each other. You can use folkmedicine if the symptoms are not dangerous. But in case the illness makes a lot of troubles the man immediatelygoes to consult a real doctor.

An important part of treatment is psychotherapy. Psychological effect of a pill constitutes from 40 to 80 percentdepending on the illness and the doctor, who prescribes the pill. This was found out by prescribing false medicine.Unfortunately all doctors concentrate their attention on illnesses. That is why its not easy to find a real expert inquestions of health among medical men. But things change.

The Other World

Has anything changed in y our att i tude to rel igion?

No. I used to be an atheist, I am an atheist now. But lately I abandon myself to the idea that the so called otherphysics, the other life, which is parallel to ours, does exist and sometimes penetrates into out common life. It canhappen so that this other life secures and maybe even determines our real life.

Not long ago I familiarized with the experiments of a well-known neurophysiologist academician Bekhtereva. Thismade me feel doubtful about my materialistic outlook. You certainly know that a man can see without eyes.Bekhtereva decided to find out how brain reacts to this phenomenon. She came to the conclusion that informationis received not only with the help of receptors but it also passes over them. It may not even produce electricreactions in the occipital lobe of brain, which fixes visual patterns That is the effect of what I call the otherphysics.

Did you ever come across the phenomena of the other wor ld.

Many people died in out hospital and almost every weak patients resuscitated from apparent death. Mycolleagues often asked the patients if they saw anything. But they saw nothing Research workers of the

cybernetics department I used to run were always interested in anomalous effects. An we used to invite variousextrasensory individuals, but none on the experiments they performed at our presence didnt prove anything.

As a famous physician Vadim Eugenievich Loshkarev explained any physiological action requires minimumnecessary conditions with the help of which the action can happen. So skeptical perception of the outer world isthe condition that impedes the action.

From you r mater ial ist ic point of view what transm igrat ion of souls means?

I repeatedly heard from different people that they talk to the dead people in the other world and even describewhat they eat. But all these details about the souls eating apples and gamboling on the lawn are not interestingfor me.

The people used to live with myths. I dont believe in the existence ofsouls, but at the same time and what ismore with the amendment: if the other physics exists, there is still a possibility that something remains inspace
