The elderly should stay away from four kinds of bad mentality and promote mental health.

As the saying goes, keeping in good health focuses on nourishing the heart. With the growth of age, the aging of the elderly is an irresistible natural law, but a good attitude and a happy mood can be achieved through self-regulation and cultivation. Good psychological mood is an important measure for the elderly to slow down physical aging and prevent diseases. In order to promote mental health, the elderly should pay attention to prevent the emergence of four kinds of bad mentality in their daily life.

The elderly should stay away from the negative mentality of promoting mental health and being useless when they are old.

Most old people no longer work after retirement and have a lot of free time. Many people suddenly get rid of the busy state before, and if they lack hobbies, they will inevitably feel empty. Usually, out of concern for the elderly, family members are reluctant to let the elderly do housework, which will make the elderly feel that they have no effect. After a long time, it will produce negative psychology, which will not only lead to mental emptiness of the elderly, but also accelerate the aging of the body.

An angry attitude that dislikes everything.

Some old people who worked in administrative posts when they were young will be angry with everything around them because they lost their previous power and treatment after retirement, and often get angry because of a trivial matter. Anger will seriously affect the health of human nervous system and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems. Chinese medicine also believes that "great anger hurts the liver", which is not conducive to health. Some elderly people who have a sudden stroke and myocardial infarction are ill because of temporary anger.

The lonely mentality of being alone.

Usually introverted old people, some think that others are inferior to themselves, some have no habit of interacting with outsiders, and most of them are unwilling to deal with outsiders after retirement. After a long time, it will produce an autistic and lonely mentality. If it is not adjusted in time, it will easily develop into depression, and the elderly who have too little contact with the outside world are also most likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease.

A greedy mentality that is hard to give up.

Some old people are old, but it is still difficult to let go of their obsession with foreign things. If they want to have everything they can get around them, they often consume their minds because they can't get it. This greedy mentality caused by extreme possessiveness is the most likely to cause emotional fluctuations of the elderly, which is also the most important reason why the elderly are prone to illness.
