1, Precautions for spine maintenance
Don't keep your clothes too warm. When dressing, the most important thing is not how thick you wear, but to pay attention to the insulation of important parts of your body. The upper body should pay attention to the warmth of the back, and the lower body should pay attention to the warmth of the abdomen, waist and thighs. A cotton vest and an "old man's hat" are of great help in preventing colds. Of course, you can't overdo it. Wearing too thin is easy to catch a cold.
It's a cliche to have enough to eat, but there are still many old people who overeat or eat less in the morning and more at night. The metabolic level of the elderly decreased, and the calorie intake decreased accordingly. Being full will not only increase the burden on the stomach, but also cause excess energy in the body, gain weight and increase the risk of hypertension and coronary heart disease. The quantity should be controlled, and the quality should not be single. Pay attention to eating coarse grains at least three times a week. It is also necessary to mix meat and vegetables. Should not be too greasy or advocate vegetarianism.
Can't live a luxurious life. Hundreds of big houses with light clouds and light winds are full of luxuries, which cannot guarantee the comfort of the elderly's daily life and is not conducive to the cultivation of their minds in their later years. From a health point of view, housing for the elderly can meet the following simple indicators. It is best not to live in a commercial center or a place with dirty air, but in a relatively quiet and fresh air community; The bedroom is sunny, the layout is refreshing, not messy, and the decoration should not be too much; The color had better be simple and natural.
Okay, but rich. If health permits, try to walk a few steps and don't drive a car. If you go out, you must take the bus. After a long time, your legs and feet are easy to be awkward. Studies have found that walking for 30 minutes after meals every day or walking for 4 hours every week can reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer by half. In addition, sweating after exercise can cause carcinogens such as lead and strontium in the body to be excreted with sweat, thus playing a role in preventing cancer.
You can't work too hard. Old people should not be too tired to exercise, sweating or panting is not suitable for the elderly. The simplest method is to measure the number of heartbeats per minute. In addition, people with a history of heart disease and hypertension are not suitable for jogging, so consult a doctor before exercise.
Running away is not safe. There is a huge gap between being busy with work before retirement and having more leisure after retirement. Without corresponding hobbies and specific arrangements, most elderly people will find life very difficult. According to your hobbies, you can choose to practice calligraphy, join a chess club and learn gardening pot cultivation. In this process, you can not only meet your inner needs, but also make friends and enrich your life.
I was overjoyed. "Too happy and too sad", the elderly suffer from chronic diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis. A sudden increase in blood pressure caused by laughter and joy can induce an acute attack of chronic diseases. Therefore, old friends should learn to control their emotions and laugh moderately.
Don't be angry. Neijing says that "all diseases are born of qi" and "anger hurts the liver". Anger can lead to qi stagnation and lead to many diseases, especially cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so the elderly should give up qi. After entering old age, we should pay attention to the adjustment of mentality The so-called 60 is obedient, and there is nothing to care about after 60. If you don't get angry and hurt by meaningless things, you can enjoy family happiness.

As we get older, our spine will inevitably be damaged. At this time, as long as you pay attention to maintenance at ordinary times, there will be no serious health hazards in the spine.
2. Self-test the health status of the spine

2. Check: Whether the wear degree of the soles worn at ordinary times is basically the same;
3. Touch: Whether the height of the left and right sides of the pelvis is equal.
If one of the above is inconsistent, or the head is always unconsciously biased to one side, or one leg always wants to take the other leg, it is necessary to consider the health crisis of the spine; If you are a child, you often bend your head and twist your body to do your homework, or twist your body or sleep on your stomach, or walk sideways, or have a hunchback tendency, indicating that your child's spine may be crooked and unhealthy. Parents should take their children to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.
3, neck exercise
Pinch 9: Pinch the muscles at the back of the neck with your fingers and lift them up. You can relax the muscles of the neck by pinching it and pinching it with your left and right hands.
Moxibustion nine times: push the muscles near the back of the neck horizontally with your palms and fingers, and then pull them over. Moxibustion with both hands will warm the cervical spine and promote blood circulation around the cervical spine.
