With the growth of age, the coordination ability of the body will become worse and worse; Vision and balance will deteriorate; Muscles and bones are getting weaker and weaker, and the body may also become weak. However, regular exercise and good eating habits can slow down this decline. Physical therapist Nita said: "It is very important to do some exercises that can improve balance, posture, physical strength and flexibility."
A publication of the US Department of Health and Human Services pointed out: "It is very beneficial for the elderly to exercise regularly, regardless of their health and physical strength. Even if you can't move or stand for a long time, doing a little exercise is good for you. Actually, I don't do any exercise. It will make health worse. " Also, doing exercise can prevent depression, heart disease, joint pain and osteoporosis; Improve blood circulation, digestive ability and sleep quality, but also increase self-confidence and improve the flexibility of the body.
If you seldom exercise, you should consult your doctor before deciding to start exercising. If you feel dizzy or chest pain during exercise, you should ask a doctor. In this case, the wisest thing to do is to call an ambulance. Never ignore these dangerous signals! In addition, it is suggested that you'd better go to an ophthalmologist for an eye examination once a year.
In terms of diet, although some foods may be prepared quickly and easily, they lack vitamins and minerals, so don't eat such foods. The elderly especially need to eat foods rich in vitamin D and calcium, which can maintain bone density or reduce bone loss. So try to eat whole grains, low-fat dairy products and fresh fruits and vegetables. If you want to make a big change in your eating habits, you should also consult a doctor first. When you have certain diseases, the doctor may suggest what you can eat and what foods to eat less.
Old people should drink more water. Many elderly people are more prone to dehydration, especially those who live alone or in nursing homes. Dehydration will make the elderly more prone to fall, constipation, unconsciousness, lack of elasticity of the panel, infection and even death.
Measures to make the family safer
Most old people fall down at home. However, as long as some preventive measures are taken, the danger can be greatly reduced. Take a look at the following suggestions and think about where your home needs improvement:

● It is best to have handrails in the bathroom, so that you can hold the handrails when entering and leaving the bathtub, and you can sit down or stand up when going to the toilet; Handrails should also be installed firmly; The toilet should not be too low, and it is not too hard to sit down or get up.
● Turn on the night light or use a flashlight at night.
Stairs:
● There should be no sundries on the stairs; Stairs should be strong and have enough light.
● If possible, there should be solid handrails on both sides of the stairs, anti-slip strips on the stairs, and light switches on and off the stairs.
● Going up and down stairs frequently can help the elderly to exercise their leg strength. If the elderly have balance problems, try not to go up and down the stairs alone.
Room:
● There should be enough space between the bed and the furniture so as not to bump when walking.
● Put a chair so that you can sit when changing clothes.
● There should be a lamp or flashlight beside the bed, which can be opened or taken by reaching out.
Kitchen:
● Don't put too many things on the kitchen counter. You can put them on it when you come back from shopping.
● The floor should be non-slip and non-reflective.
● Don't put things in the cupboard too high or too low, but put them where you can get them without others' help. Try not to climb the ladder, step on the stool, never? Step on the chair!

● In order to prevent falling, damaged carpets, raised plastic floors and broken tiles should be repaired, replaced or discarded. The wires should be close to the foot of the wall and not scattered on the ground.
● Where there is a carpet, there is no need to use a rug, because it is easy for people to slip. If the carpet is placed on a smooth floor, such as tiles and wooden floors, the back should be fixed on the ground with a non-slip pad.
