Ancient medical conditions were so poor, why did Wu Zetian live to be eighty years old?

The medical level in ancient times was actually very low, and the living conditions were not very good, so many ancient people lived very short lives. If they can live to be over 70, it will be considered as a relatively long life. However, Wu Zetian, the female emperor in history, lived to be over 80 years old, which shows that she has innate advantages. She grew up in a very wealthy family, with a royal mother and a businessman father. At the very least, she didn't say how well she lived and didn't worry about food and clothing.

It was also because of the influence of family environment that she was different from other women, which made Tang Taizong take a look and was later taken into the palace to become a gifted scholar. At that time, Wu Zetian was a charming young and beautiful person. She has lived comfortably since she was a child, so it is better to live in a palace. But she has always been very strict with herself, especially in maintenance. Eat more when you are good for your health, stick to it when you are good for your health, and let the doctor recuperate your body every day. In this case, it is difficult to live long.

However, a few years later, Emperor Taizong died, and Wu Zetian was sent to the temple to practice. She persisted in this life for five years. Although she was bored, in quiet meditation, she slowly learned the essence of self-cultivation, which greatly changed her personality. She no longer cares so much about many things, becomes broad-minded and doesn't lose her temper easily. This should also be one of the secrets of her longevity.

Wu Zetian liked calligraphy very much at that time. She often practices calligraphy in her spare time, and writing is good for her health. She can exercise her body muscles and cultivate her sentiment. The secret of longevity has always been to avoid anger. Seeing Wu Zetian's self-cultivation, it must be difficult to live a long life.
