Dieting for the first time.
With the growth of age, the gastrointestinal function of the elderly is declining, so the diet should be light, not big fish and big meat, especially spicy food, and eat less. It is enough to have a full meal, because the elderly exercise less and consume less energy. Overeating every meal will burden the stomach, and excess energy will be converted into fat, which will lead to obesity in the elderly. Therefore, obesity in the elderly is the first killer of diseases in the elderly, so this phenomenon should be avoided. In addition, we should also pay attention to increasing the intake of high-calcium foods. Because with the growth of age, the elderly have serious calcium loss and are prone to osteoporosis.
The second is exercise.
Life lies in exercise, which can slow down aging and effectively prevent some chronic diseases, especially cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Then the elderly should pay attention to safety in sports and should engage in some light and gentle sports. For example, ballroom dancing, square dancing, Tai Chi, walking and jogging. Moderate exercise every week can increase the speed of blood circulation and reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as muscle atrophy. However, it is very important to prevent the elderly from falling, because when they reach a certain age, they will suffer from osteoporosis, and it is easy to cause fractures after falling.
The third is psychology.
In fact, what the elderly fear most is loneliness. With the accelerated pace of social life, older children generally work hard outside and spend less and less time with their parents. Many diseases of the elderly are caused by missing, loneliness and depression. In fact, many old people, like children, need more relatives to accompany them. Therefore, in the rest of our lives, we need to visit them at home as much as possible or bring them to us. Or adopt a pet for the elderly. Especially lonely old people, you must find a partner.
The fourth is sleep.
Sleep is very important to our human body. It can relieve our brain fatigue and give our brain a good rest after a day's work. However, often the elderly will sleep less and less, and the quality will get worse and worse. This is because the function of the body is declining when people get old. Old people should keep a happy mood and fall asleep quickly. If you sleep for a short time, increase the number of times you sleep.
