If 50 years old is a watershed in life, then 60 years old means that a person officially enters the old age stage. Most countries in the world stipulate that people over 60 are the elderly.
When I was young, I was strong and comfortable in my work and life. Once you get into old age, you feel that you can't do anything. If you don't pay attention to the maintenance of your body when you are young, you may be found by various chronic diseases when you are old, such as three highs.
If the elderly want to live a long and healthy life, they need to pay attention to physical maintenance when they are young. Don't wait until they are old and sick.
Contemporary people have gradually realized the importance of health preservation. At the age of 30, they began to learn various health preserving methods, such as soaking Lycium barbarum in a thermos cup or going to the gym to exercise. Every correct health care behavior they insisted on when they were young has arrived, and they will give back to themselves when they are old, so it will not be useless.
If you cross the 60-year-old life barrier and have no physical problems, it means that your physical fitness is not bad. If you have the following performance after the age of 60, it may indicate that you belong to a potential longevity constitution. Take a test yourself.
-Have a good sleep, have a good sleep.
After entering the age of 60, the physical function gradually degenerates, and the brain and nerves are no exception. You can find that the older you get, the more sleepy you get. You can fall asleep even if you sit and watch TV and chat with others during the day, regardless of time and place. Getting enough high-quality sleep when you get old is a sign of good health.
In fact, most elderly people in life, if carefully observed, go to bed around seven or eight o'clock and wake up earlier the next morning, forming a regular morning and evening routine. Some old people take a nap after lunch 15~20 minutes.
When the daily routine is regular, the internal organs of the body will adjust and recover themselves, relieve the fatigue in the morning or one day, improve the vitality of the body, and then lay the foundation for health and longevity. Going to bed early and getting up early for a nap is a very good behavior for the elderly to keep healthy. When you have a relatively regular routine, you will find that your body is getting healthier and healthier.
Healthy adults, ensuring 7-8 hours of adequate sleep every day and taking a lunch break 15-20 minutes when conditions permit, can help the internal organs of the body to repair themselves and detoxify themselves, persevere, or represent your potential for longevity.
-Optimistic and cheerful
Some old people after 60 like to smile, say hello and chat when they meet family members or strangers outside. When others are in trouble, they like to lend a helping hand. They often go out to play chess, dance square dance and visit parks with old friends. They are optimistic, cheerful and healthy.
Laughing often can stimulate hormones in the body, and it will not increase the burden of liver operation when the endocrine level is relatively balanced, so liking to laugh is a sign of longevity. If your mood fluctuates greatly and is relatively unstable, you may get angry. If the body is full of heat, it will affect the emotional state of the whole person.
Sometimes, due to the influence of some basic diseases, the old man's temper becomes irritable. At this time, family members must give the elderly enough care and understanding to help them maintain a positive and optimistic attitude and live a long and healthy life.
-Likes to move and sit still
Some 60-year-old people rarely sit and lie at home during the day, often go out for a walk, play chess and chat with others, or go to their own vegetable gardens to weed and water, and sometimes they want to go to a senior college or find another job. This is not because they are short of money, but because they can't sit still at home and always want to go out and have a look, which means they are in good health.
It is precisely because these old people are restless that they don't sit and rest at home every day. Instead, I often go out to exercise and work in the fields in summer and spring, which indirectly plays a role in exercising, not simply because I can't sit outside, but because I am strong and energetic.
Under the condition of ensuring good health, the elderly over 60 can choose to do some soothing exercise, but don't do strenuous and high-intensity exercise as they did when they were young. These exercises increase the burden of physical operation, and make the bones with bone loss and decreased bone density bear greater physical pressure and external pressure, thus inducing the side effects of bone diseases and basic diseases such as osteoporosis.
Eat well and have a good appetite.
Food is the most important thing for people. If they want to have a healthy and long-lived constitution, they must eat three meals a day, and they should also eat on time. They should pay attention to reasonable collocation and balanced nutrition. After the age of 60, the gastrointestinal digestive function of the elderly decreased significantly, their appetite decreased, and their food intake decreased by more than half compared with that of the young people.
If you don't get enough nutrients for a long time, it will easily lead to the lack of some nutrients in your body, resulting in malnutrition, destruction of immunity and resistance, and being taken advantage of by various diseases.
Old people who live a long life generally have a good appetite. They eat delicious food, never picky about food or anorexia, and eat whatever they have. Old people with good mouths can also eat coarse grains and nuts every day, which can ensure that all aspects of the body get nutrition to maintain the basic operation of the body. It is an important material basis for health and longevity.
Check yourself. How many projects have you encountered?
Under the condition of stable health, elderly patients with chronic diseases with good drug control can also be vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine. For example, patients with hypertension can keep their blood pressure stable if they insist on taking medicine for a long time, so they can consider vaccination. However, if they are in the period of chronic diseases, malignant tumor chemotherapy or acute diseases, COVID-19 vaccine needs to be postponed.
Some areas will carry out health screening for the elderly over 60 years old and screening for hypertension and diabetes in combination with basic public health services. You can go to the community health service center in your area to find out.
Of course, whether elderly patients with chronic diseases can be vaccinated requires a more comprehensive judgment. Before vaccination, doctors must be informed of their own physical condition, such as medical history, medication history, medication service, etc. Help doctors to better judge whether they meet the vaccination conditions.
It is suggested that the elderly aged 60 and above should be vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine in time, and those who have completed the whole vaccination should be vaccinated with booster shots as soon as possible, with an interval of six months.
