Here's a look at the benefits of defying old age.
The Yale University School of Public **** Health in the United States has conducted an 11-year tracking survey of more than 700 elderly people over the age of 70, and found that those with a positive attitude are more likely to recover from illness. Among them, those who were cheerful and optimistic and defied old age were 44 percent more likely to recover fully from serious illness.
Becca Levy, an associate professor of epidemiology and psychology at Yale University's School of Public **** Health, believes that defying old age allows them to think outside the box, face difficulties, and be more cheerful and optimistic, all factors that may prolong life.
Mingle with the young. The first thing you need to do is to think of yourself as a "young person". Understanding of young people's buzzwords, appropriate use of young people's language to communicate with them, so that not only can make the communication smoother, but also let the elderly unconsciously "be aged", the mentality of the younger. But with young people contact, do not rely on the old, good teacher.
There is nothing to do. The state of "nothing to do all day" for a long time, will inevitably produce "their useless", "old" such a feeling. Therefore, many young at heart, the elderly often say: "Retired, life has just begun." "Retirement is also an important manifestation of defying old age. Participating in meaningful social activities with a sense of fulfillment, satisfaction and honor will make the elderly feel that they are still an indispensable member of society. After retirement, the elderly can also be integrated into new circles, chess, fish, flowers, photography, dancing are good choices, do not feel that these are young people's business. Invite three or five friends to express their feelings in the magnificent mountains and rivers, back to nature, can more y appreciate the power of life.
Elderly people should also try to give up a cup of tea and a newspaper for the day. Sign up for a microblog, where there are lots of new ideas and attitudes, play the games of the young, and, most importantly, where age is negligible.
Of course, the better the body is also less likely to serve the old, but does not serve the old does not mean bravado, some matters should also pay attention to: want to go out and travel to consider their own health conditions, the intensity of the movement do not exceed the tolerance range, can not "hard"; mentality does not serve the old, but the body should not resist "! Old", go out to prepare a good common medicine; do not ignore some of the subtle changes in the body, regular physical examination.
Summary, do not serve the old is a state of life, is their own performance on the reality of the unconvincing. Old people older, but does not mean that the mentality is also old, maintain an optimistic mindset, so that they live more and more young.
