Do people with big ears live longer?

There has been a saying in China since ancient times: people with big ears live longer.

What's the truth behind this statement? The ancients believed that the kidney opens up to the ear, so big ears are a sign of strong kidney qi. Sufficient kidney qi means long life. So if you want to live a long and healthy life, it is very important to protect your kidneys.

Modern medicine also points out that big ears are indeed related to longevity.

A medical research organization once conducted measurements on 256 elderly people aged 60 to 90 and 344 centenarians aged 90 to 104. The results showed that the average ear length of the centenarian group was 7.13 cm for men and 6.894 cm for women; the average ear length of the 60-69 year old group was 6.93 cm for men and 6.50 cm for women.

Modern research suggests that human growth and development stops after adulthood, but the ears continue to grow. They grow larger with age, so older people's ears are much larger than younger people's ears.

Judging from this conclusion, modern medicine believes that people who live long do not live long because of big ears, but rather their ears grow big because they live long. This is completely opposite to the view held by traditional physiognomy that people with big ears live long. As to who is right and who is wrong, further research is needed.

No matter which statement is correct, ears are closely related to human health, so pay attention to protecting your ears in daily life. If you pierce your ears carelessly or listen to music with earplugs for a long time and overuse your ears, it will not only damage your ears, but may also shorten your life.
