First, slow temper
Many people are impatient when they are young and impatient when they are old, but we old people should not be so anxious, but should slow down our temper. Many elderly people suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases to varying degrees. Besides, their bodies are aging, which makes them more vulnerable. Getting angry in a hurry can easily lead to high blood pressure and rapid heartbeat, and it is also easy to cause sudden and serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
So try to avoid getting angry in a hurry. Don't worry about things, think slowly and deal with them slowly. Slow is not necessarily inefficient, but a safer choice and can solve things. If we are too anxious, we are prone to make mistakes. Therefore, when we encounter something, we should slow down and think carefully before dealing with it.
Second, walk slowly.
With the growth of age, the loss of bone mass in our bones will become more and more serious, especially in the elderly. Many people have different degrees of osteoporosis, which leads to brittle bones. If there is nothing left, it is easy to get hurt. Therefore, the elderly should pay attention to the word "slow" when walking. The slower it is, the safer it is. Older people are not easy to fall and prone to fracture. It is better to walk slowly when going out. Facing the problem of bone loss, the old people should take more calcium supplements, eat some calcium tablets and bask in the sun often, or eat more calcium-containing foods such as milk and lean meat. These are good choices for the old people.
Third, get up slowly.
The cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases of the elderly are relatively fragile. When we get up, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases may suddenly occur because of sudden posture changes, and even life-threatening. Therefore, the elderly must get up slowly. It is generally recommended that the elderly learn from the young people, stay in bed and sleep late, and don't get up immediately even if they wake up. They can take a rest in bed first, adapt to the body that has not fully recovered when they first get up, and then get up slowly after getting used to it, so as to reduce the probability of sudden illness and ensure their own safety.
Fourth, eat slowly.
The stomach of the elderly is also weak, so it is not advisable to eat too fast. They should follow the way of chewing slowly. Eating too fast will increase our heart burden and may cause heart discomfort. And eating too fast leads to insufficient chewing of food, which goes straight to the stomach, easily causing stomach discomfort and even leading to some gastrointestinal diseases. Therefore, the elderly should chew slowly, chew slowly, and chew more can reduce the burden on the stomach and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal diseases.
Fifth, the action is slow
Needless to say, exercise is good for our health. The elderly should exercise more, but they should also choose slow exercise. Some strenuous exercises are not suitable for the elderly. For example, some large-scale ball games, long-distance running, or heavy training are dangerous for the elderly, so you can choose some slow sports. Such as walking, jogging, playing table tennis, these sports can also play a physical exercise effect, and it is not easy to cause damage and risk to the body, so it is more suitable for the elderly.
The human body is like a machine. Running at a high speed all the time must be increasing our physical load. Long-term preservation is not good for health, and so is the elderly. When you are young, you should relax appropriately and slow down the pace of life. There is no need to put too much pressure on yourself.
Although we advocate that the elderly must slow down, sometimes there are some things that the elderly must get up quickly. Getting up quickly is the right choice.
Go to the physical examination quickly.
For the physical examination, many elderly people are somewhat resistant, feeling that there is nothing wrong with their health, and the physical examination is just a waste of money. In fact, this idea is wrong. Physical examination can help us better understand our physical condition, and can also help us find diseases and receive treatment in time. It is indispensable, especially for the elderly.
Go to see a doctor at once
When you are young, your body can resist some minor illnesses and disasters, but when you get old, your physical quality and resistance will naturally decline. Don't choose this way again at this time. As long as you feel unwell, you should go to the hospital for treatment. Early detection, early treatment, don't drag a minor illness into a serious illness, even if it is too late to regret it.
Many times, the elderly sometimes may not be aware of their physical changes, so as a family, we should carefully observe and pay attention to the physical condition of the elderly. If something goes wrong, you should take the old man to treatment, and you can't wait for the old man to say it himself. Many times it's too late.
Pay attention to accompany the elderly. What the elderly need most when they retire at home is the company of their families. The loneliness of being alone at home is maddening. Therefore, as children, we should spend more time with the elderly and chat with them, which will also help them maintain their mental health.
Although modern life is a fast-paced life, the lifestyle of the elderly should be slowed down so that they can pay more attention to their physical condition. Slow life is more suitable for the elderly, and it is necessary to maintain such a stable slow-paced life for a long time.
