To care about parents, children should not just give money. What kind of health knowledge should the elderly know as soon as possible?
Control your diet and cultivate a good stomach
As you age, the stretch reflex of your intestines and stomach weakens, which will affect your digestion. Therefore, many elderly people cannot eat hard food and always feel bloated in their abdominal cavity. The gastrointestinal function is disrupted. In severe cases, food residues cannot be digested and absorbed, causing constipation in the elderly. We often say that "medicine is three parts poison". We often use digestive medicine to help the gastrointestinal recovery, but it is better to ask parents to pay attention to their diet. Usually, let the elders eat more foods that are easy to digest and easy to digest. For example, skim milk with oligopeptides, small molecules of water can be better digested and absorbed, and the protein content is also very high, which can provide power for people's daily life.
Use more calcium supplementation for the elderly
As parents are older, the body’s calcium leaks out too quickly, which makes them prone to osteoporosis, which can lead to bone cracks, back pain, and limb pain. Numb these diseases. In order to keep their parents healthy, their children often suggest that it is very necessary for them to supplement calcium and zinc.

Exercise moderately to maintain a happy mood
Many parents worry about their children’s affairs. When their children are in urgent need, their parents will feel lonelier than them. Therefore, children should not bring their negative emotions to their parents. This will not only affect their emotions, but also cause their elders to think wildly, which can easily increase blood pressure and cause serious consequences. After eating, parents can be urged to exercise, square dance, or boxing, which is of great benefit to their bodies. Such activities not only allow them to meet some elderly friends and make their lives more diverse, but also enhance their physical fitness and extend their lives.
Drink more water to avoid thick blood
Nowadays, the chances of the elderly suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are increasing year by year, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have become the number one killer that threatens the physical and mental health of the elderly. We usually remind parents to cultivate the good habit of drinking water. A glass of warm water every morning can not only improve the body's metabolic capacity, but also dilute the blood concentration to prevent accidents caused by excessive blood thickness and blocked capillaries. For diseases, treatment is better than prevention. Only by having good behavioral habits can the body become healthier.
