「生」與「死」並非宿敵，分子消亡是必然的演化，你需要努力的不是抗拒死，而是知道「怎麼生」；人活著的每一天，體內都有新分子誕生，善用大自然創造的條件，重新主宰自己的命運――【通往人瑞之路第一步：調整心態】如何才能活到一百歲？首先，不要刻意地想達成這個目標。這不等於我們可以放縱自己，但大自然的運作有一定的準則，保持規律平衡的生活即可延年益壽，不必依賴人為藥物的輔助。此外，年紀大並不意味著衰老，年輕也不等於身體健康，本書要傳授給讀者的即為使青春永駐的自然療法。【通往人瑞之路第二步：意念之力】莎士比亞曾說：「自我懷疑是個叛徒，它讓我們畏縮恐懼，放棄了那些原本屬於我們自己的東西。」心理影響生理、病由心生，這是很多人都明白的道理，卻很難真正維持正向情緒，總是害怕失去一些物質條件。有些人提出質疑：「不是我不想快樂，是我天性愛胡思亂想！」其實，所謂的猜疑和不安，幾乎是後天不良的心理暗示所致，生命本是一個不斷運動的過程，而意志力能煥發體內無限能量。【通往人瑞之路第三步：好好呼吸】一般人常說「病從口入」，因此格外注重飲食，卻忽略了我們一刻都離不開氧氣，呼吸對人體的影響更加全面。➞1.呼吸暢通可以為血液提供必需的氧氣； ➞2.呼吸暢通能加快腸胃蠕動，促進消化液對食物的吸收；➞3.體內累積過多毒素會使機體衰竭，而透過呼吸可以將其排出。從選擇合適地點、鍛鍊肺活量到各種呼吸方法，本書將詳盡解說！【通往人瑞之路第四步：保持鍛鍊】如果想整天不動就獲得長壽，那是絕對不可能的事，沒有在作用的器官會逐漸老化、產生疾病甚至喪失原有功能。但是所謂的鍛鍊，也不是要把自己練成肌肉猛男――掌握「平衡」的原則，不要過度著重外部而使內在弱不禁風。那該準備什麼工具呢？啞鈴？槓鈴？都不是！三種增高練習＋腸胃蠕動鍛鍊，用最自然的方法帶你強身健體！【通往人瑞之路第五步：睡眠品質】在經過一天的勞累之後，擁有充足的睡眠是很重要的，但要記得：休息是為了修復身體的疲勞，恢復活力才是目的。換言之，睡眠越長不等於對人體越有益，必須重視「睡眠品質」。當我們躺在床上時，大腦卻還在思索白天的工作，情緒緊張、肌肉沒有得到放鬆，這就不是良好的睡眠狀態，即便睡足八小時甚至更久，醒來後精神依然委靡不振……除了教你睡，本書還加碼節省體能的訣竅，讓自己隨時活力充沛！►有些飾品看起來很精緻，實則阻礙人體正常的新陳代謝？►洗頭過於頻繁，可能將保護膜一起洗掉？
