65-year-old people have retired and started a colorful old-age life. At the age of 65, they are also very healthy. Some old people are over 65 years old, but they are not satisfied with their old age and think that they are still strong and cannot be regarded as old people. Can you still call an old man after 65?

First, the "age division standard" for the elderly has been announced: beyond this age, it is the elderly!
According to authoritative sources, the criteria for the classification of the elderly are as follows:
1, 18~42 years old, this age group is young people.
2, 43-59 years old, this age group is middle-aged.
3, between the ages of 60 and 72, this age group is the elderly.
4, between the ages of 73 and 92, this age group is the elderly.
People over 5.93 years old are defined as long-lived elderly people.
This age table is easy to understand. As you can see, as long as a person is over 60, he can be called an old man. You can compare and see which age you are.
However, this age division does not apply to everyone. Although some people meet the standards of the elderly, they are still in good health, even better than some young people. If the old man can do the following things after he reaches the age of 65, it means that he is still in good health.

Both men and women, over 65 years old, if they can achieve the following five points, or their physical fitness is not bad.
1, have a high quality sleep.
Sleeping is what people do every day. Sleep takes up 1/3 of their lives. In order to have a healthy body, it is very necessary to ensure adequate sleep. Making full use of sleep time can make the brain and body fully rest and adjust.
It can be found that after the age of 60, many elderly people have a serious decline in sleep quality, shallow sleep and shortened deep sleep time. They wake up many times a night, often from 3 am to 5 am. Lack of quality sleep has a great impact on their health, which will gradually reduce the memory of the elderly and increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease. If the elderly over 65 want to know whether their bodies are healthy, they might as well use their sleep quality.
In real life, sleep quality can be measured by the following standards:
(1) fall asleep quickly, 10 minutes or so.
(2) deep sleep, long breathing, not easy to wake up.
(3) I don't wake up at night or rarely wake up, and I don't dream. I soon forget my dreams after waking up.
(4) Get up quickly, and get up in the morning with good spirits.
(5) clear thinking during the day, high work efficiency, not sleepy.
2. Normal defecation function
Young people are busy with work, sedentary, and like to eat greasy, spicy and irritating food, which is deeply troubled by constipation, while the elderly are also a high-risk group of constipation. Therefore, there are always drugs that are conducive to laxative, such as kaisailu and probiotics. This is because they are troubled by constipation all the year round.
Constipation is not a serious illness, but it is a very painful thing with a strong sense of defecation. However, no matter how long it takes, it is impossible to excrete feces smoothly, even if you go to the toilet several times a day, you can't defecate smoothly. If you are over 65, your digestive system is still relatively healthy. If you are often troubled by constipation after the age of 65, you should adjust your eating habits, quit smoking and drinking, and adjust your diet structure.
3. Flexible legs and feet
Elderly and postmenopausal women are most prone to bone and joint diseases, such as osteoporosis. Postmenopausal women's estrogen level drops rapidly, which leads to accelerated calcium loss and decreased bone mineral density, while osteoporosis in the elderly is caused by decreased metabolism. In this state, bone health problems such as arthritis and osteoporosis are prone to occur.
Old people with osteoporosis are prone to fracture if they accidentally fall or are impacted by the outside world. If their feet are still flexible and they can keep proper exercise every day, it shows that their physical fitness is not bad. If they can keep it for a long time, they may have the potential to live longer.
Step 4 eat a reasonable diet
Food is the most important thing for the people, and a healthy and reasonable diet is an important prerequisite for maintaining good health. As the saying goes, many diseases are caused by uncontrollable and unhealthy eating habits, such as common chronic metabolic diseases such as hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia.
If the elderly want to keep healthy, they must eat lightly, eat less oil and salt, and stay away from high-oil and high-sugar foods, which can reduce the pressure and burden on blood vessels and heart. After the age of 65, the elderly have a reasonable diet and a strong appetite, which shows that their physical fitness is not bad.
5. Keep exercising.
At six or seven o'clock in the morning and eight or nine o'clock in the evening, many middle-aged and elderly people can be seen dancing in the square dance while walking in the park or downstairs of the community, and some are doing flogging and playing Tai Chi.
Most 60-year-olds have retired and have plenty of entertainment time. Instead of sitting at home and having nothing to do every day, it is better to go outside to exercise, breathe fresh air, participate in group activities and communicate with people. Whether you can exercise every day after the age of 65 is also a weight standard to measure a person's physical quality.
