There are many popular sayings among the people, such as: "The dragon gives birth to a baby, and the mouse's son gives birth to a hole", "The weasel pays a New Year call to the chicken, but it is not kind". There seems to be no proverb in it, but it is of great significance to understand it carefully. I wonder if you have heard the proverb "One long eyebrow is worth millions of tons of grain"? What does it mean for the elderly eyebrows to become longer? Is there something wrong with your body? Let's have a look.

What does the phrase "long eyebrows are worth a million grains" mean?
Literally, "a long eyebrow is better than a million grains". If there is a particularly long eyebrow, or it is more valuable than a million grains, the older generation thinks that a long eyebrow is a representative of happiness and longevity, indicating that this person will never worry about food and clothing.
People who often watch film and television works will find that the image of the God of Wealth or the Princess of the Birthday is that she has long eyebrows, laughs loudly, is rich and kind.
The ancients always thought that eyebrows were a symbol of longevity. When your eyebrows are particularly long, it is best not to pull them out easily, otherwise it will affect your health.
The ancients thought that long eyebrows were the representative of longevity because the medical level at that time was very backward. The average life expectancy of the ancients was only about 50 years old. People with long eyebrows can successfully break through 50 years old and live to more than 60 years old, which naturally represents longevity.
Many elderly people are very happy to see a particularly long hair in their eyebrows, which is a good thing.
An old newspaper in Hangzhou made an in-depth investigation into this matter:
Before the start of the experiment, 300 long-lived elderly people were randomly selected, and it was found that more than 665,438+0% of the elderly people had signs of longer eyebrows. It can be seen that the longer the eyebrows, it is really a representative of longevity, which is a beautiful implication that even millions of tons of grain can not be exchanged.

Eyebrows get longer after 50. What does this mean?
1, excessive hormone secretion in the body.
Eyebrows belong to a kind of body hair, and the vigorous growth of human body hair is mainly influenced by androgen. People with strong androgen secretion in their bodies will grow faster than their peers.
Male androgens are secreted by testis and adrenaline, while female androgens are determined by ovary. Androgen secretion in the body is strong, and eyebrows will naturally grow longer and longer.
2. Bad eating habits
Bad eating habits are the main cause of disease outbreaks. With the improvement of people's living standards, people's eating habits have changed greatly compared with before. Eating too much meat or food with more hormone additives will lead to a large number of hormone substances entering the body, which will affect health over time. It is the disorder of hormone levels in the body that leads to the reverse growth of eyebrows.
3. Genetic factors
After the age of 50, people's eyebrows have become longer due to genetic factors. Parents have long eyebrows, and children inherit their parents, and the chances of eyebrows becoming longer will be greater.
4. Abnormal growth of eyebrows
Abnormal eyebrow development can lead to longer eyebrows. Under normal circumstances, the functions of various organs and tissues of the body will gradually decline with age, organs will enter a state of slow aging, and eyebrows will slowly fall off.
Eyebrows grow fast, the hair follicles at the eyebrows are nutritious, and the eyebrows will grow longer and longer.
People are getting old.
50 years old is a hurdle for people. People who reach the age of 50 can be called middle-aged and elderly people. If you look closely, you will find that many elderly people's eyebrows are always very long. It is a normal physiological reaction for people to get longer when they are old. The reason for the slow basal metabolic rate is that the longer the eyebrows can't fall off in time, the longer the metabolic time will be.
The reason why young people don't have long eyebrows is because their metabolism level is very strong, and their eyebrows will soon fall off by themselves, so naturally there will be no more eyebrows.

What does it mean for the elderly eyebrows to turn white?
The color of human hair is mainly influenced by melanin under the skin. People with more melanin under the skin have black hair. On the contrary, people with less melanin under the skin will naturally turn white.
With the increase of age, the melanin content in the body gradually decreases. If the elderly do not pay attention to adjust their diet, work and rest regularly, and maintain a good attitude, endocrine disorders will occur, the metabolic level will be seriously reduced, and the melanin content will be less and less, thus turning their eyebrows white.
The whitening of eyebrows caused by the decrease of melanin content is a physiological change. As long as you actively adjust your diet, pay attention to rest and eat more black food, this problem can be alleviated by yourself.
Another reason is that the elderly lack qi and blood, kidney qi and spleen and stomach imbalance, which leads to poor qi and blood circulation in the body, blood can not be supplied to the brain in time, and symptoms of cerebral ischemia and hypoxia appear, leading to whitening of eyebrows.
Deficiency of both qi and blood is a pathological change, so it is necessary to seek medical examination in time to find out the cause and treatment, so as not to delay the best event of the disease.
If you want to nourish qi and blood, you can eat more iron-containing food at ordinary times, so that qi and blood can slowly adjust their level and your body will gradually return to health.

Extension-What are the characteristics of long-lived elderly people worth learning?
(1) Good mentality
The first way to live a long and healthy life is to reasonably vent depressed emotions and ensure an optimistic attitude.

It is found that these long-lived old people are optimistic and cheerful, get along well with their children and grandchildren, and know how to be content.
Older people who can reasonably vent their depressed emotions will have a greater probability of health and longevity.
(2) Eat well and sleep well
Eating is bliss. If you want to live a long and healthy life, you must eat a reasonable diet, balance nutrition, eat less greasy and spicy food, quit smoking and limit alcohol, and try to match meat and vegetables in a ratio of 3:7, which may be helpful to your health.
About13 of a person's life is spent in sleep. The elderly should get at least 6-7 hours' sleep every day, and if possible, take a 30-minute lunch break at noon to relax their bodies and relieve their nervous mood.
(3) uniform weight
Overweight or thin elderly people will affect their health and induce a variety of chronic diseases. There is an old saying that "a thousand dollars can't buy an old man", but excessive emaciation will also accelerate the speed of bone decline.
The elderly should learn to control their diet reasonably, regulate their bodies, and maintain a good body shape and living conditions.
