Health problems of the elderly

Lead: When people are old, their physical functions are not as good as before, and their metabolism is getting slower and slower. Therefore, many elderly people will have diseases to some extent, but in fact, many diseases can be eliminated if they are actively faced. This requires the elderly to overcome difficulties, not to be afraid of getting sick, and not to be afraid of not being cured after getting sick. On the contrary, keeping a good attitude and overcoming these four difficulties will make your body healthier and healthier.

First, the elderly should actively overcome these four difficulties, and their bodies may be healthier.

1. Overcome exercise difficulties

After people get old, their muscles will gradually shrink and their joints will become hard. In addition, the loss of calcium in the elderly is more serious, and the blood vessels will narrow, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply to the whole body. So many people don't like sports when they get older.

Exercise has many benefits for the elderly. Reasonable exercise can promote blood circulation, accelerate blood flow and improve metabolic function. Moreover, reasonable exercise will also promote the operation of the digestive system. After digestion, the appetite will be better, and muscle atrophy will be slowed down or prevented.

2. Overcome bad psychology

With the growth of age, many diseases will come to us, and some old friends around us have passed away, so many old people are afraid of getting sick and dying. This kind of bad psychology is harmful to the body, and getting sick is actually a normal phenomenon. Don't be afraid or anxious about it. As long as you face the treatment positively, your body will recover slowly.

Overcome loneliness

The social circle of the elderly is generally small, and most of their children cannot accompany them. Only on holidays will the family be happy, so the elderly will feel lonely and lost, and even have bad emotions and thoughts. In this case, in addition to children's concern for the elderly, it is more important for the elderly to participate in some social activities, such as square dancing, fishing and playing chess, and traveling with the elderly. Make life easier and healthier.

Overcome dietary difficulties

The diet of the elderly is actually very unhealthy, because taste buds deteriorate with age, so many elderly people are used to eating heavy-flavored food. But because heavy food is greasy, spicy and high in salt, it is difficult to digest, and it will also cause three high symptoms. Moreover, many elderly people have bad teeth, so it is actually wrong to choose not to eat meat and only eat some chewy food. They should eat more comprehensively. Only when they are fully supplemented with nutrition can they be healthy.

It is suggested that the elderly should develop good living habits, including regular work and rest, reasonable diet, reasonable exercise and optimistic attitude. In addition, regular physical examination is also required every year, which can be used as a health reference.
