First, eat well and beware of overeating.
It is essential to have a big meal with parents on Thanksgiving Day, but the elderly should eat less, because their gastrointestinal function is weak and their digestive ability is not strong. Eating too much is easy to increase the burden on the stomach and cause gastrointestinal diseases such as indigestion. At the same time, eating more soy products when eating meat can prevent cholesterol from rising. At the same time, it is not advisable to eat too salty, which will increase the metabolic burden of the kidneys.
Send parents a physical examination.
Nothing can reassure children more than the health and longevity of parents. Regular physical examination can effectively prevent the occurrence of diseases and achieve the purpose of early detection, early diagnosis and early intervention. Especially for the elderly, with the growth of age, various functions of the body deteriorate, leaving hidden dangers for the occurrence of many diseases. Regular physical examination can discover potential health hazards in time, so that many diseases can be controlled and cured at an early stage.
People tend to doubt their own value when they are old, so we need to understand our parents' words and deeds correctly.
To understand parents, we must first understand aging.
Some old people will be particularly depressed after retirement; Some old people, because of physical aging or health reasons, can no longer contribute to their families and can't help but doubt their own value. In order to prove their worth, many old people will attract their children's attention and gain family status by complaining, spoiling their grandchildren and even causing trouble.
If the elderly can affirm their own value, or if their children give them care and confidence, they will not get into trouble in twists and turns. Understanding this is the key to helping parents.
I remember when my grandmother was in her later years, every day when the big family got together, she would occasionally deliberately create a little unhappiness. But everyone won't mind, and they will make her happy tacitly. At that time, I didn't understand. I only heard my mother and uncles whisper, "Mom has become an old child."
