The "singing rector" Mykhailo Poplavsky, who is preparing for his 75th birthday, revealed the secret of his good shape in a detailed interview with Fakty newspaper and told where he gets his vital energy in such a difficult time, UNN reports.
"The way I look is a lifestyle that I've been living for many years. I try to get a good night's sleep at a temperature of 16-17 degrees, wash my face with cold water, and in the morning I drink a glass of 50-60 degrees hot water according to the Chinese method, which comes exclusively from a well in my home village. Three boiled eggs for breakfast without yolk. I eat only organic products from my dairy farm - bull's eggs, bone marrow from a young veal, drink whey or kefir at night." I regularly undergo rheopheresis, a blood purification method used to improve microcirculation and metabolism in tissues, reduce total cholesterol levels, etc. and plasmapheresis. This is a modern way of cleansing the blood from pathogenic toxic substances, the blood is divided into plasma and blood cells. I also walk a lot and do not recommend running like a fool at a respectable age - it is a great burden on the cardiovascular system of the body, and of course I maintain sexual energy. I also take a philosophical approach to everything: I don't take anything stupid in my head or heavy in my hands," Poplavsky said.
According to him, he now lives for the present.
"The past is beyond our control, we don't know what will happen tomorrow. This came with the beginning of the great war. Now it's like this: I woke up and stood on two legs, which means I'm alive, and thank God! And then it's back to work," he says.
Poplavsky adds that he is a happy person, and this is also a part of his appearance.
"In fact, it turned out that you don't need much to be happy. My formula for happiness is already patented. Emotional intelligence with a creative and applied character starts and wins! It is an unquenchable fervor, strength of spirit and action in achieving a goal, which has become a lifelong Ukrainian path. This is exactly what we teach our students - the philosophy of leaders, the philosophy of winners, faith in themselves and love for their profession. Faith is magic. I believed and I am proud today of the most successful project of my life, the University of Culture," said the "singing rector.

"I'm not interested in who thinks and says what about me. The main thing is that I accept people as they are. I have always been myself, I have not tried to change myself. You need to know yourself and find your own unique Ukrainian way. This is what success is all about! Believe in yourself. Dream big. Go confidently towards your goal. Luck loves the persistent! My dream now is to create as many national projects as possible in my lifetime and leave a good mark on the earth!" says Poplavsky.
