Rest can help the elderly to maintain mental relaxation and physical rest, and avoid physical fatigue and discomfort caused by excessive activity. Old people can choose reading, listening to music, playing cards, knitting sweaters and other low-intensity activities to relax.
On the other hand, proper exercise can help the elderly keep healthy. Exercise can enhance cardiopulmonary function, increase metabolic rate, strengthen musculoskeletal system and improve mental health. Old people can choose walking, jogging, Tai Ji Chuan, yoga, swimming and other appropriate sports.
Whether resting or exercising, the elderly need to choose the way that suits them according to their physical condition and the doctor's advice. At the same time, the elderly also need to pay attention to a healthy diet and maintain a good social life and mental health.
