Don't be disgusted when you hear about square dancing, because it's good for the body and mind to participate in this kind of activity for the middle-aged and the elderly.
Previously, when I was in college, I was busy with the work of the school committee and the student union, plus I had a part-time job to do, so I rarely went out. But after the change of the college student union in my junior year, I had a lot more time. I went out to stroll around at night when I had nothing to do. I often saw a lot of people dancing in the square over there.
It was still many years ago, our attention to square dancing is not as much as it is now, and they also dance on a fixed site, which does not affect the lives of the people in the district. Looking at the middle-aged and old ladies and uncles dancing in the Cultural Square, I felt that they danced under the night curtain, glowing with youthful vigor.
And those who go to participate in the exercise are very healthy and have a good mindset. Through dancing, their bodies get exercise, but also in the process of practicing dance, met a class of brothers and sisters, usually have nothing to do with nagging, venting their psychological pressure.
So if your city's square dance atmosphere is better, you can also introduce your parents to participate.
The combination of movement and static, labor and leisure, is the best way to spend your spare time. After dancing, you can also let your parents play chess, play recreational mahjong.
As their parents grow older, the possibility of them suffering from brain degeneration is higher and higher, and if they don't need to use their brains every day, the chances of getting diseases like Alzheimer's disease (partly manifested as dementia) will be even higher, so you need to arrange some educational activities for them in normal times, through which you can exercise their brain thinking ability.
Chess is the need to think about the whole plate, the need to judge the two sides of the flag, the layout of the pieces, etc., the general middle-aged and elderly men will be more interested in this hobby, you can introduce some of the more people of the chess hall to their own dad, or let him know some of the chess equivalent of the chess friends ......
Now many communities have specialized chess clubs, which can be used to play chess.
Nowadays, many communities have special activity centers with special entertainment areas, like chess and cards activities are set up in every community activity center, not for the purpose of gambling, but entertaining as well as good, and can also exercise brain power.
If the economic conditions allow, you can also let your parents participate in tourism activities, so that parents in the physical can still support the case, to see the country's great mountains and rivers. When communicating with other people, there will be some more talking points to "show off", and the mindset will be a little better.
