Characteristics of "Ayu" (Life):

In ancient times, "Vaidyas" or Ayurvedic Doctors used to conduct a test before doing any type of "Shalyakriya" or Operation, that was to see how fit is he/she to be treated.There are three types of people as told in Ayurveda:-

1)Dirghayu - Longest Life Expectancy

2)Madhyamayu - Medium Life Expectancy

3)Alpayu or Jaghanya Ayu - Short to Shortest Life Expectancy

Explained:

1)Dirghayu - Longest Life Expectancy
Signs Of People with "Dirghayu"(Long Life Expectancy):
People with following signs are Dirghayu:

                                              Definition One:
Largely built hands and legs, large back, large chest, large face, broad shoulders, large forehead,long fingers, long and deep breaths, big eyes, long arms, heavy voice, head a little extended at the back of the skull, respectively large gap between two chests/breasts,large arm-pits, short thighs, short neck,medium sized genitals, buttocks a little lifted up,flesh filled ears(upper part only).


                                         Definition Two:
Those people whose ligaments,muscle joints are heavy and not easily noticable, and those with solid
muscles, those with high concentrating/focusing power(won't think about other matters while attending one), all body parts like hands,legs,fingers, head etc.built in a perfect proportion, those who are healthy by birth and those in which Body, Mind, Social Values(Personality, Reasoning etc.)
tend to increase gradually with time.
                                         
                                      Now those with all or some(but not opposite) characteristics of Def. 1 or Def. 2 are supposed to live more than 75 years, sometimes 100+ years.

Please note that these characteristics although a gift of genetics cannot alone make you live for 100 years,unless otherwise you live a healthy lifestyle. Your body is a gift from mother nature ,now its upto you how you maintain it.

2)Madhyamayu - Medium Life Expectancy Those with mixed characteristics of 1)Dirghayu and 3)Alpayu are said to be Madhyamayu. Some additionally mentioned characteristics are:
                               
                                                Those who have two or more than two long lines visible just under their eyes, legs and ears filled with flesh ,front part of nose lifted upwards.
                                   
Those with these characteristics usually don't live more than 70-75 years. But if they have taken care of their body and ate according to what Ayurveda says(for e.g., "Viruddha Aahar"(wrong combination of certain foods), eating at right time(late night food should be avoided),eating healthy, etc.) and have lived life with honesty, truth, not hurting others, lived happily ,no hatred, plus
exercised daily to correct any Dosha developed by tension,stress etc. can live longer than expected.

3)Alpayu or Jaghanya Ayu - Short to Shortest Life Expectancy
                                                     
Those with opposite characteristics of  Dirghayu are said to be Alpayu.Some additionally mentioned
characteristics are:
                               Small fingers(small gaps b/w the lines on back side of fingers,that we usually use to do countings),apparently large genitals, arm-pits sucked/pressed inside, small back, ears at a higher point, those whose gums are visible when they laugh, those who can't focus on one work and are quickly diverted to something else(lack of concentration).                   
                                         
People with above features are said to be living anywhere between 25-40 years, sometimes 40+ years when followed  Ayurveda regularly.

No need to worry if you are Madhyamayu or Alpayu!!
