What are the things to do in old age?

1, living with children. The elderly are in good health, and their children need to live with them. Old people can help their children take care of their grandchildren, do some housework, and prepare dinner for their children, so that they can enjoy dinner at home when they get home from work. In order to reduce the workload of children at home, it is excellent for healthy old people to help children share some light housework. It is important that the elderly can enjoy the warmth of the extended family with their children and grandchildren at home. However, if you choose this way of providing for the elderly, the elderly must be smarter and try to handle the relationship with their children and daughters-in-law.

2. Living alone. Old people choose to live alone mainly because of their relative freedom. When to get up, when to go to bed, what to wear, what to eat and what to do are all up to you. But if conditions permit, it is best for the elderly to live with their children or live closer to them. So old people and children can take care of each other.

3. Living in a nursing home. Many elderly people also choose to live in nursing homes, and there are specialized nursing staff to take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Nursing homes are all elderly people of the same age who have the same topic, and they will not be lonely when they live together.

In fact, all these methods are inseparable from two main foundations: material foundation and spiritual foundation.

Materially speaking, it is best for the elderly to have their own pension and medical insurance. Whether you live with your children, live alone, or go to a nursing home, you must have some savings.

Spiritually, the family happiness of the elderly is very important. Besides, the elderly should also have their own spiritual life and cultivate some hobbies, such as watering, gardening, writing, painting, making friends and chatting. In short, the elderly must have spiritual support.

The most important thing for the elderly to spend their old age happily is to have a healthy body. Old people should have a good attitude and don't think that they are useless when they are old. In fact, you can continue to study when you are old. You can choose your favorite subjects or some interesting technical knowledge, such as reading, writing, painting or learning to use computers.

Some old people are used to a hard lifestyle, and once they have leisure, they feel idle. Such old people can also be elderly volunteers, helping others while making themselves happy. Why not?
