Why are there two extremes in the health of the elderly? This has a lot to do with personal living habits. Not only do you smoke and drink all the year round, like high-calorie food, stay up late to sleep and other bad habits will make you old, but your health indicators have been far abandoned.
All ages can form these good habits every day, which can effectively help you stay away from minor health diseases, keep your body and mind healthy and make you live longer.
Have the habit of exercising every day.
For a person, exercise is inseparable for life, especially in old age. People who don't exercise for a long time lose physical strength. With the growth of age, my metabolic ability decreased, my muscle content decreased, my body became fatter and fatter, and my body resistance decreased, which was followed by the invasion of viruses. Therefore, it is good to keep exercising when you are young, but you should keep exercising for an hour every day when you are old. For example, walking slowly, walking fast, playing table tennis and dancing in square dance can promote your metabolism, make you sweat and exercise your body and mind.
Keep the habit of drinking 2L water every day.
Drinking water can effectively promote body metabolism. We all know that the water content of the body in infancy is above 90%. With the growth of age, water loss in the body will accelerate, metabolism will also decline, and the speed of body aging and skin aging will naturally accelerate. If you can replenish enough water every day, it will naturally improve the body's metabolic ability, moisturize the skin and moisturize the body.
Correct diet
Middle-aged and elderly people usually have a bad stomach and their teeth will age with age. Therefore, in order to better absorb and digest, the breakfast of middle-aged and elderly people should be light, and do not produce irritating and difficult-to-swallow food. Patients with hypertension or diabetes should pay attention to reasonable collocation in diet. Drinking a little high-calcium milk powder and eating bread or fried dough sticks for breakfast are not only nutritious, but also can supplement calcium and prevent osteoporosis in the elderly. For lunch, it is best to strengthen nutrition, eat foods high in protein and avoid foods high in fat and calories. Eat as little as possible for dinner, and don't eat too much. Otherwise, it will bring a burden to the stomach.
Cultivate interest
Perhaps most middle-aged and elderly people are at home after retirement and are not interested. The whole person is depressed and depressed, which will easily affect physical and mental health for a long time. So when nothing happens, middle-aged and elderly people can find hobbies such as painting and dancing. Most importantly, cultivating middle-aged and elderly people's hobbies can prevent Alzheimer's disease to some extent. Moreover, middle-aged and elderly people have their own hobbies, which are not only physically and mentally pleasant, but also promote metabolism in the body.
stop smoking and refrain from drinking
Quitting smoking and drinking is the key to improve the resistance of the elderly. At present, many people smoke for a long time, drink too much and smoke harmful substances, which are easy to accelerate vascular diseases, decrease organ function and have weak resistance. Therefore, in order to maintain a strong state of resistance, it is necessary to adjust the body in this respect.
Get enough sleep
To effectively improve resistance, we should ensure adequate sleep at ordinary times. Many people's lack of sleep leads to the decline of organ function, and the decline of immune function after endocrine disorders. If you can get enough sleep and have regular rest, it will help to improve your resistance. Only in this way can the immune function be prevented from declining.
