Ways to enrich the life of the elderly
Reading. Reading is really the best treasure to overcome loneliness and isolation, often read books can not only improve their own quality, vision, values, but also let themselves know more places and customs, some of the elderly are not very good health, can not go too far away from the place, you can learn about the world through books.
Reading newspapers. The family subscribes to a few newspapers, local newspapers or news papers, people's newspapers, and so on, according to their own preferences, and love to read the entertainment newspaper. Every day look at the newspaper, you can be interested in the news, or meaningful, cut out to make a paste newspaper.
Exercise. The elderly age, the body will appear a variety of problems, so more should be more exercise. Wake up early morning exercise, walk a few laps or jogging, playing tai chi and so on can, evening dinner downstairs for a walk, both relaxation, but also exercise the body.
Participate in senior university. Now every city has the kind of senior university, can let the old people back to the classroom, learn some painting, calligraphy, flower arrangement, cooking and other interest classes. I know a grandmother who is 68 years old and has been learning painting for two years, and her painting of a peony is especially beautiful, and she is famous in the local calligraphy and painting circles, which not only gives the old people something to do, but also gives them a sense of fulfillment.
Actively participate in community activities. There are many communities that hold regular events, such as tea parties, family tips and tricks competitions, dumpling contests, recitation contests, and so on, and there are also parties held during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the National Day, and the Chinese New Year, which are major festivals. The elderly should be actively involved in the preparation and rehearsal with everyone.
Square dancing. Now the whole world knows the Chinese square dancers, so you can see how big the charm of square dancing is. Square dancing not only exercise the body, in memorizing those movements also exercise the head thinking ability, but also will make a lot of friends, so that they are no longer lonely.
Grocery shopping and supermarket shopping. There are a lot of supermarkets on Saturday and Sunday will engage in some activities, such as eggs cheaper than the market for 7 or 8 cents, promotion of a certain commodity 60% off, etc., a lot of elderly people get up very early to go to the queue. In fact, it does not necessarily mean that they are in order to save that few dollars, just get up very early and nothing to do, go to the shopping line can also get a bargain, a few neighbors to go together, but also to talk and laugh, back on the road to test their own harvest, very happy it.
Travel. Many older people to join the ranks of donkeys, if the body is still good, you can go around the country to play, the conditions can also go abroad to play, if the body is not very good older people, take the bus to play in the local attractions is also a beautiful thing.
Join a choir. Music can heal wounds, give people motivation, and regulate our mood. Uncles and aunts who love to sing join a senior choir as a group activity and are sometimes invited to participate in TV programs, community performances, etc. It's a great entertainment program.
Internet. Nowadays, the Internet is so developed that even small children at home can chat and watch videos on the Internet. Therefore, if the elderly learn to surf the Internet, they will be able to perceive the whole world from the Internet, watch the news and TV dramas, and if their children work outside the country, they can also chat with their parents through video, which is very good.
To utilize the old people's professional spare time. There are many older people who have been working in professional positions for many years and have a lot of experience, so it would be a waste of resources if they were never used again. Therefore, do not want to idle the elderly, you can play the residual heat, such as engineers can be rehired back to the company as a consultant, the work does not have to be too busy, but let the elderly feel that they still have a place to use.
