Вся человеческая история подсказывает, что «здоровый образ жизни» – это опасная и искусственная ересь, не имеющая никаких аналогов в прошлом. Предки жили недолго, но счастливо, и понятия не имели об уровне холестерина и вредных свойствах красного мяса. Славяне, как нынешние африканцы, ели все, что удавалось добыть. Рыбу, говядину, медвежатину и мед.
Потом на Русь пришли викинги, которые тоже в еде были не особо привередливы и быстро поладили с местным славянским населением. И те и другие исповедовали крайне нездоровое питание. Ели кашу из ячменя с жиром на ночь и даже запивали ее пивом. Хотя газированные напитки – это для организма чистый яд. Скандинавской ходьбой в то время не занимались, если только в пешем строю со щитами и боевыми топорами.
Спустя тысячу лет тоже мало что изменилось. Гоголь в своем итальянском далёко ностальгически вспоминал ватрушки и бараний бок с гречневой кашей; Пушкин запивал жареные котлеты холодным шампанским и был удивительно равнодушен к вегетарианству. Действительно, Александр Сергеевич умер в 37 лет (мальчик по нынешним временам). Но совсем не от гастропареза желудка или острого холецистита. Он умер от заражения крови после ранения 20-граммовой пулей Дантеса. Как говорится, дай бог каждому.
Здоровый образ жизни стал побочным эффектом растущего уровня благосостояния граждан и увеличением у них количества свободного времени, которые они раньше просто заедали майонезом и запивали алкогольными напитками, а теперь зачем-то решили жить как можно дольше.
Если бы не случилось Октябрьской революции и других социальных катаклизмов, граждане в своей подавляющей массе продолжали бы работать по 10–11 часов в сутки, для размножения и духовного развития имели бы один выходной в неделю, и на глупости у них просто не оставалось бы ни времени, ни денег.
В наследие от проклятого тоталитаризма нам остались 100 нерабочих дней в году, а капитализм обеспечил дешевой трансгенной едой и пальмовым маслом. Казалось бы, живи и радуйся. То, о чем мечтали французские энциклопедисты, стало реальностью. Минимальной зарплаты с лихвой хватает для пропитания, а тонну свободного времени можно потратить на умные книги и самосовершенствование. Однако человек не хочет внутреннего самосовершенствования. Он, напротив, хочет все время жрать, совокупляться и при этом не болеть. Вместо гамбургеров и салата оливье он жрет диетические хлебцы и конфеты с заменителем сахара, но рот у него по-прежнему все время занят.
Нерешенной остается только проблема огромного количества свободного времени. Древние не зря полагали праздность источником всех пороков. Никакого морализаторства тут нет. Это всего лишь констатация личного многолетнего наблюдения за собой и окружающими. Человек не знает, чем заполнить свою пустую, бессмысленную и бесконечно длинную по меркам даже прошлого века жизнь.
Его жизнь, как правило, лишена Бога, что делает ее довольно страшной. Вообще для нерелигиозного сознания страх смерти – главный мотор, который заставляет его жить, несмотря ни на что. Человек, для которого за тем пределом ничего нет, направляет все силы на то, чтобы отодвинуть неизбежный конец. И старость для него – это знак приближения смерти, чьи следы неумолимо проступают на лицах, как и приходящие с годами болезни.
Навязываемый маркетологами образ молодого общества – совершенно фальшивый. Он не актуален ни для России, ни для Европы. Это в Нигерии и Тунисе средний возраст – 20 лет. А в России – 40, в Германии – 46, в Японии – 50. Эта фальшивая молодость – лишь недостижимый идеал, к которому в безумном упорстве начинают стремиться граждане, перевалив рубеж в 40 лет.
Женщины оставляют состояния у косметологов, пытаясь скрыть морщины. При этом они борются не за свою фертильность. Напротив, рождение детей рассматривается как неизбежное зло, которое крадет у женщины красоту и здоровье. Бывшие красавицы подбадривают друг друга, говоря комплименты по поводу качества подтяжки скул или век.
Мужчины средних лет начинают тратить часы своей утекающей, как песок сквозь пальцы, жизни на ежедневный ф
All human history suggests that a “healthy lifestyle” is a dangerous and artificial heresy that has no analogues in the past. The ancestors did not live long, but happily, and had no idea about the level of cholesterol and the harmful properties of red meat. The Slavs, like today's Africans, ate everything that they managed to get. Fish, beef, bear meat and honey.
Then the Vikings came to Russia, who were also not particularly picky in food and quickly got along with the local Slavic population. Both of them professed extremely unhealthy diets. They ate porridge from barley with fat for the night and even washed it down with beer. Although carbonated drinks are pure poison for the body. At that time they didn’t do Nordic walking, if only on foot with shields and battle axes.
After a thousand years, little has changed either. Gogol in his Italian far nostalgically recalled cheesecakes and mutton side with buckwheat porridge; Pushkin washed down fried meatballs with cold champagne and was surprisingly indifferent to vegetarianism. Indeed, Alexander Sergeyevich died at age 37 (a boy in modern times). But not at all from gastroparesis of the stomach or acute cholecystitis. He died of blood poisoning after being wounded by a 20 gram Dantes bullet. As they say, God forbid everyone.
A healthy lifestyle was a side effect of the growing level of citizens' well-being and an increase in their amount of free time, which they used to just jam with mayonnaise and drink alcoholic drinks, and now for some reason decided to live as long as possible.
If the October Revolution and other social disasters did not happen, the overwhelming majority of citizens would continue to work 10-11 hours a day, for reproduction and spiritual development they would have one day off per week, and they simply would not have time for stupidity no money.
We inherited from the damned totalitarianism 100 days off a year, and capitalism provided cheap transgenic food and palm oil. It would seem, live and rejoice. What the French encyclopedists dreamed of has become a reality. The minimum wage is more than enough for food, and a ton of free time can be spent on smart books and self-improvement. However, a person does not want internal self-improvement. On the contrary, he wants to eat, copulate all the time and not be sick. Instead of hamburgers and Olivier salad, he eats diet bread and sweets with a sugar substitute, but his mouth is still busy all the time.
Unresolved is only the problem of a huge amount of free time. It was not for nothing that the ancients considered idleness to be the source of all vices. There is no moralizing here. This is just a statement of personal long-term observation of oneself and others. Man does not know how to fill his empty, meaningless and infinitely long life by the standards of even the last century.
His life, as a rule, is devoid of God, which makes it rather scary. In general, for non-religious consciousness, the fear of death is the main motor that makes it live, no matter what. A person for whom there is nothing beyond that limit, directs all forces to pushing the inevitable end. And old age for him is a sign of the approach of death, whose traces inexorably appear on their faces, like those who come over the years of illness.
The image of a young society imposed by marketers is completely fake. It is not relevant either to Russia or to Europe. This is in Nigeria and Tunisia the average age is 20 years. And in Russia - 40, in Germany - 46, in Japan - 50. This false youth is just an unattainable ideal, to which citizens begin to strive in insane stubbornness, having crossed the milestone of 40 years.
Women leave conditions with beauticians, trying to hide wrinkles. However, they are not fighting for their fertility. On the contrary, the birth of children is seen as an inevitable evil that steals a woman's beauty and health. Former beauties cheer each other, complimenting on the quality of cheekbones or eyelids lift.
Middle-aged men begin to spend hours running their lives, like sand through their fingers, on their daily lives.
