In ancient times, corvees were mainly men aged 20-60, and the treatment of single-family and multi-family was completely different. Over the age of 60, you can officially get rid of "Ding" and enjoy your old age. When we get to this point, it is natural to celebrate. Thousands of years of customs have been handed down, and now we are concerned about the sixtieth birthday.
Birthday celebrations for the elderly (over 50 years old) are called birthdays every ten days, such as "50th birthday", "60th birthday" and "70th birthday".
But this kind of birthday is not really every ten years, but refers to 49, 59, 69 and so on. Because nine is the largest number among ten numbers, people have formed this custom of celebrating "nine does not celebrate ten" in order to get lucky.
Send invitations to your close relatives and friends before your birthday, usually three days before your birthday, otherwise it is impolite. As the saying goes, "three days is an invitation, two days is a call, and the same day is a belt." After receiving the invitation, relatives and friends will prepare birthday gifts, commonly known as "birthday greetings". The host will also hold a big birthday party, the guests will drink heavily, and some will invite the church to add to the festive atmosphere.
60 years old is a critical period for people, because 60 years old is close to the end of life, and it is time to know the fate and enter the twilight years. Basically, at this age, most people's physical condition will decline rapidly, and their bodies will quickly enter the aging stage. Then, the relative immunity and resistance will decline, and the possibility of suffering from some chronic diseases will gradually increase.
Therefore, many elderly people began to move towards the concept of "healthy life"; This also benefits from the current living conditions and medical standards.
In order to keep healthy, many elderly people will cultivate some good living habits to enhance their health. But some old people are not very familiar with this aspect and don't know what to do. Here are some health care methods that people should follow after they are 60 years old, hoping to help everyone.
People over 60 years old, adhere to these three good habits, longevity may not be "mistreated" you.
First: keep a regular routine.
Staying up late is a standard for modern people and a bad habit that harms people's health.
For the elderly, staying up late is also very not recommended. Because of the low physical fitness of the elderly, with the growth of age, organs have degenerated. If you are often tired, stay up late, and have irregular work and rest, lack of sleep will easily lead to decreased immunity, and the probability of chronic diseases will gradually increase, leading to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Therefore, it is suggested that the elderly should arrange their sleep time reasonably and go to bed early and get up early.
Generally, the elderly sleep for 6-8 hours every day. After lunch at noon every day, they can rest for about half an hour. Don't rest too long, so as not to affect their sleep at night and cause insomnia.
Second: Good eating habits.
With the increase of age and the decline of physical function, the digestive function of the elderly will also deteriorate. Therefore, when you are old, you need to pay attention to your diet, not to say that you can eat whatever you want. Dietary advice:
(1) The diet is light. When you get older, your taste will fade, and you like to eat some heavy and greasy food. Then, this kind of food is very unhealthy, which is not only bad for digestion, but also increases the burden on organs.
Therefore, in the diet, we should try to choose light and digestible foods, and the staple food can choose coarse grains (corn, oats, sweet potatoes, black rice).
2 avoid three high foods. Eat less foods high in oil, sugar and fat, and eat more fruits and vegetables. Foods rich in fiber can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation.
③ Eat more high-protein food. Foods rich in protein and important nutrients such as fish, meat, eggs, milk and bean products should not be reduced in the diet of the elderly.
Third: exercise more.
It is very necessary to keep proper exercise. You can go and have a look. Most long-lived elderly people have one thing in common, that is, they like sports.
A well-known example is Zhong Lao, who once said that "running water does not rot, and family members do not bite", which means that things that are often exercised will not be easily eroded.
And he himself likes sports very much. When he was young, he liked to take part in some competitive sports. Although he doesn't have much time to exercise because of work now, he always finds some time to exercise, run and do pull-ups. One should keep some exercise all one's life. "
So, as you can see, although Zhong Lao looked nearly eighty years old last year, he was in a good mental state.
I suggest that everyone can try it after the age of 60, such as brisk walking, square dance, badminton, Tai Chi, Baduanjin and so on. Exercise time is more than 30 minutes.
It is not recommended to do strenuous exercise and run for a long time, lest the body can't bear it.
In addition, after the age of 60, we must maintain a good attitude, that is, as the saying goes, "Laugh for ten years and worry for a while." For some things in life, we don't have to care too much, just let nature take its course and know how to live our own life.
