Four main points of health and longevity

People are used to calling people over 60 "flowers" and people over 60 "flowers". The word "flower" comes from the ancient calendar of China, which takes 60 years as a cycle, and each cycle is called a flower.

A person's life always goes through many different stages, no matter what kind of experience is a rare style of life. At the age of 60, he is generally called the old man in his life. At this time, he must learn to accept the social role of the elderly calmly.

For the elderly, their energy and physical strength are not as good as those of young people. As an elderly person, they should have a clear understanding and orientation of their role.

The change of life role is an irreversible process, and no one can change it, but we can actively adapt. Only by adjusting our mentality can we make our life full of fun and more colorful.

The "four elements" of longevity in the elderly: "drinking water" is the first element of longevity; "Sleep" is the first supplement to longevity; Walking is the best exercise; "Singing" is the best entertainment for pleasure.

1, never idle

The emergence of hyperglycemia, hypertension and hyperlipidemia has a great relationship with unhealthy living habits and eating habits. For example, hyperlipidemia is a chronic disease that is eaten, which has a lot to do with improper diet. At the same time, many chronic diseases are caused by idleness.

For the 60-year-old, he has basically retired at home, doing nothing every day, sedentary and lacking in exercise. Their body resistance and immunity will definitely decline, and the loss of calcium in the body will accelerate, accelerating bone diseases such as obesity and osteoporosis, and increasing the risk of various chronic diseases.

For the elderly, if you want to live a long life, don't stay at home. You must be an idle person, gradually increase your exercise, keep fit and stay away from chronic diseases.

Step 2 have a good attitude

A 60-year-old always smiles whenever and wherever he meets. No matter what happens, they can face life well, like chatting and greeting others, and have an optimistic attitude. They often go to the park and go out for a walk with their friends and wives, and keep a positive and optimistic attitude.

Optimism can stimulate the secretion of hormones in the body In the state of endocrine balance, it will not increase the burden and pressure of the internal organs of the body. Therefore, smiling more is the embodiment of longevity. If you always have big mood swings and can't control your mood well, you may get angry and affect the whole person's mental state.

Laughter is also a kind of exercise, which can stimulate the activities of abdominal and facial muscles, promote the discharge of garbage toxins, make the body inhale more oxygen, promote the body to detoxify better, and naturally enhance physical fitness.

Laughing more can also regulate the function of the spleen and stomach, work better and promote metabolism, which is one of the reasons why depressed people have a worse appetite than those who love to laugh.

3, regular work and rest

When you get older, you get less sleep, but when you watch TV and chat with him during the day, you will feel sleepy unconsciously. It is difficult to work and rest regularly, especially after getting old, the quality of sleep declines, the central nervous system of the brain is affected, the quality of sleep declines, insomnia and dreaminess appear, and even the sleep time at night is greatly reduced to 3~4 hours.

Healthy adults need to get enough sleep for 7-8 hours every day, but some elderly people are obviously lower than this level, especially in hot summer. They go to bed at 1 am and get up at 4 or 5 am to go out to visit the park. Long-term lack of sleep leads to poor spirit, energy and physical strength during the day, accelerates aging and increases the risk of various chronic diseases.

However, elderly people who are older and have a slow pace of life generally have regular work and rest. They go to sleep before 1 1 at night, get up around 6:00~8:00 in the morning, and never miss breakfast.

4. Not picky about food

As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people, and three meals a day is very important to keep healthy. Eating seems simple, but eating well is also very important. Eating three meals a day on time and balancing meat and vegetables is the premise of maintaining good health.

People over 60 years old have decreased gastrointestinal function and loss of appetite. Judging from the amount of food they eat, they will eat less and less food. In the long run, it may lead to malnutrition, decreased body resistance and immunity. Therefore, among the elderly, the physical fitness of the elderly with good appetite is much better than that of their peers, indicating that they have the potential to live longer.

1, drink plenty of water

Many people wait until they are thirsty to remember to drink water. At this time, it has been suggested that the water shortage in the body is more serious, and it is too late to make up.

According to the investigation and study, people who have drinking habits are significantly less likely to suffer from constipation and urinary calculi than those who don't drink water regularly, and drinking water on time has a good preventive effect on myocardial infarction and stroke.

Elderly patients such as atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, blood viscosity, coronary heart disease and stroke, as well as pregnant women, teenagers and infants who need plenty of water, should develop the habit of drinking water regularly.

2, often eat celery

The alkaloids contained in celery are beneficial to protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. When eating celery, you must eat the leaves, because the leaves are the essence of the whole celery, not only with high vitamin content, but also with very high plant nutrients. In addition, it is rich in cellulose, which helps to reduce the risk of heart disease.

3. Think more.

Old people should not do nothing at home every day, but go out to exercise more and participate in mental activities such as computer, chess and foreign languages.

Old people participating in such activities can not only enrich their monotonous and simple old age, but also exercise their brains. Long-term persistence can effectively prevent premature deterioration of brain function and delay or contain the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease.

Good health is also normal:

Live regularly, go to bed early and get up early;

Exercise strengthens bones and muscles, exhales and nourishes the heart;

Full, light and comfortable diet;

Three simple meals, moderate amount of alcohol to quit smoking;

Patience, save your strength and prevent injury;

Be friends with your heart, be kind, be healthy and live long;

Sorrow makes people old, optimism makes people live long;

Seek medical treatment early if you are sick, and prevent all diseases;

Persistence is very important, and health care should be frequent.

Health care for middle-aged and elderly people is very important. I hope you must develop a good routine and eating habits, so as to add points to your health and avoid getting sick.
