What are the gaps between the old-age care in China and the old-age care in the United States?
1. Physical examination every year to prevent diseases.

Everyone can't avoid illness, the difference is only the severity. It is very scientific for doctors to advocate early detection and early treatment. On weekdays, you should know more about the disease self-examination. If you find that you are unwell, you should consult your doctor as soon as possible and try to have a physical examination once a year to prevent any slight delay. There are two suggestions for elderly friends who are diagnosed with various chronic diseases: First, don't take medicine according to advertisements, but take medicine according to doctor's advice; Second, don't blindly take medicine according to hearsay. The clinical verification time of new drugs is short, so it is better to use them less.

2. Choose tonic according to your constitution.

Because of poor health, most of the elderly in our generation have various deficiency diseases. I realized that choosing some tonics according to my physique and taking them all the year round is beneficial to anti-aging and prolonging life. There are many kinds of finished tonics popular in the city, but most of them are expensive. Older friends can consider their own financial resources and choose according to the doctor's advice. Those who lack financial resources can also get results if they insist on taking cheap supplements such as Astragalus, Lycium barbarum, Ganoderma lucidum and Angelica sinensis. Calcium supplementation is something that every elderly friend must pay serious attention to. When people get old, it is inevitable that bone density will decrease. In addition to paying attention to calcium supplementation in diet, calcium supplements should also be added appropriately. This medicine is taken with soybean milk before going to bed and has the best absorption effect.

3. Exercise properly to strengthen your bones and muscles

Exercise plays an important role in anti-aging and anti-aging, but exercise has a lot of knowledge. It's dangerous to stay still. People have run away. I have witnessed cases of sudden death due to excessive exercise. In short, the elderly are not suitable for strenuous exercise. Old people who have no history of running or swimming in the past should not rush to participate because your heart load may be unbearable. In my opinion, qigong is the first sport suitable for the elderly, and walking is the second. If you can practice Qigong for half an hour every day, and then walk for half an hour, it will be beneficial to maintain good physical fitness, posture and body shape. The heart and brain of the elderly are like a bow, you can't stretch the string beyond your physical ability!

4. Eat a balanced diet and be vegetarian

The staple food should be coarse but not fine, and each meal should not be too full, ranging from100g to150g; Non-staple food should eat more vegetables, fruits, fish, eggs and milk in moderation, and it is best to give up drinking. Onions or garlic are essential for every meal. According to my experience, eating more soy products is good for people. I suffered from tuberculosis when I was in college. At that time, there were no anti-tuberculosis drugs in China. I was cured by drinking soybean milk. Middle-aged patients with cerebrovascular disease also rely on soybean milk as an auxiliary recovery, and still insist on drinking soybean milk every day. In addition to soybean milk, it is best to drink 500 ml of yogurt every day. Yogurt can be made by yourself. For the first time, you can buy a small bag of commercially available yogurt as yeast. After fresh milk is boiled and cooled, it can be added to yogurt and drunk at room temperature in the morning and evening. When used, you can leave 100 ml as the second strain.

5. Relax yourself and nourish your blood.

At present, self-relaxation has been unanimously praised as a good fitness technique by health experts at home and abroad. Self-relaxation has the function of harmonizing qi and blood and restoring physical fitness. Persistence can also treat chronic diseases. The method of self-relaxation is simple. First, you should choose the environment with fresh air, the best gardens and green spaces, fresh indoor air, sitting posture and horizontal posture, but you must choose the posture that you feel most comfortable and keep your breathing natural and smooth. The adjustment of breathing is easy to master. When you don't interfere with your breathing, it will be natural, slow and even, making people in a comfortable state and forgetting to breathe in leisure. After breathing nature, you should turn to the guidance of your mind, thinking that your whole body is relaxed and quiet, and that man and nature are integrated, gradually making your mind enter a state of calm and nothingness; If you have a chronic disease, add a meditation idea: "The light of the universe shines on me" (what disease shines on what organs), about 30 minutes a day. If you can let your brain gradually calm down to a state of nothingness, you will really enter the best mental state. This relaxation exercise can obviously feel the effect of qi and blood filling for a long time. When doing this exercise, be sure to choose a quiet place without external noise interference.

6. Be indifferent to life and avoid anger and anger

When people enter old age, they should not be overjoyed, but should thoroughly understand the word "light" in their mentality. Live in the light, enjoy in the light, forget age, forget life and death, forget illness, forget fame and fortune, cultivate one's morality in the light, and life will change in the light. Some elderly people are easily excited and don't know how to keep in good health, so that they die suddenly in ecstasy and rage.

If you want to understand the word "light", you must first follow the principle of being above things. You should always think that fame and fortune are things outside your body. If you can't take them, you can't take them. Why fight? We should always think about getting along with others, harmony is the most important and patience is the highest. In this regard, I have set myself two mottos: submit to humiliation and take half a step back. But its connotation is by no means to ask friends to passively submit to humiliation. In that case, if you keep it all in your stomach, you will get sick. Here we mean positive tolerance. We should avoid trivial matters, let nature take its course, and try our best to accumulate virtue and do good deeds and help others.

7. Get up in the morning and have a massage before going to bed

If this kind of full-body massage can persist, it will have excellent effects on dredging meridians, harmonizing qi and blood, promoting metabolism and keeping fit.

Massage method:

① Massage before going to bed at night: after washing feet.

A. Massage the Yongquan point (foot center) of both feet, massage the foot center of the left foot for 90 times with the right hand, and then massage the foot center of the right foot for 90 times with the left hand, depending on the fever of both feet;

B. Massage the leg, buckle the left leg with both hands, push it up from the ankle to the root of the leg, and then push it down to the ankle once, for a total of 36 times. This kind of massage should dredge the foot three yang, foot three yin and six meridians, first press the left leg and then press the right leg;

C. Massage the lower back, rubbing the lower back with both hands for 60-90 times, with fever as the degree;

D. Massage your arm, first massage your left arm with your right hand, then massage it from the back of your hand to your shoulder, and then massage it from your palm to your armpit, 36 times each. This massage should dredge the Sanyang Meridian of the hand and the Sanyin Meridian of the hand. After the left arm is massaged, the right arm is massaged in the same way.

E. Massage the chest, lie on your back, rub your chest horizontally for 36 times, and then rub your chest vertically for 36 times;

F. Abdominal rubbing: the right hand rubs the abdomen 60-90 times clockwise and the left hand rubs the abdomen 60-90 times counterclockwise.

B) Point four points, press Jingming point for 36 times with double heart points, rub temples with double heart points for 36 times, and rub Fengfu point and Fengchi point from both sides with food, middle finger and ring finger for 36 times;

F. Knead the back waist according to the above method ③;

G. Massage your legs according to the second method mentioned above;

H. Massage the fountain according to the first method mentioned above. Get up after massage. If you can massage yourself, this method is the best. If the physical strength is poor, you can reduce the number of times and massage by others.

8. The schedule is scientific.

After the old friends leave their jobs, they no longer have the discipline to go to work. Many people relax themselves. Some watch TV and play mahjong until midnight at night, some fall in love with bed in the morning and get up very late in the morning. This abnormal and unscientific lifestyle will inevitably affect the diet, so it has changed from normal three meals a day to two meals. Because of irregular sleep, it is bound to form listlessness, which will definitely accelerate the aging process. Therefore, after retirement, the elderly should still follow the way of life when they are working, and arrange their own way of life according to the law of biological clock, so that every day's activities are under the control of biological clock to ensure the normal operation of biological clock. Generally speaking, it is better to get up at 5 o'clock in the morning, do outdoor activities for one hour after getting up, have breakfast at 8 o'clock in the morning, have lunch at 12 o'clock, take a nap for half an hour at 13 o'clock, have dinner at 18 o'clock and go to bed at 2 1 0 o'clock.

Health motto: crutches can only support the body, and strong will can support the soul.

My favorite sentence: eat well, sleep well, exercise your legs and feet, think hard, and live a long and healthy life.

Five taboos of health care for the elderly

Avoid sedentary, sedentary people hurt meat. Sitting is a necessary rest to eliminate fatigue, but sedentary is easy to make muscles decline and shrink. Therefore, the elderly should participate in outdoor activities suitable for them, strengthen muscle exercise and enhance their physical fitness.

Second, avoid standing for a long time. People who stand for a long time will hurt their muscles and bones. The movement of qi and blood in the elderly depends on the combination of static and dynamic to adjust the balance. If they stay still, it will affect the circulation of qi and blood, make some tissues and cells of human body malnourished, cause qi stagnation and blood stasis, and lead to diseases.

Three bogeys: long-term vision, long-term vision hurts blood. People are old, and if they look at it for a long time, they will hurt blood and consume gas, and they will have symptoms such as dizziness. Therefore, reading newspapers or watching TV movies for the elderly should be controlled within one to two hours, and it is not appropriate to watch them continuously.

Fourth, don't lie down for a long time and get angry. Moderate sleep is good for the health of the elderly, and long sleep makes them weak. To conform to the four seasons, lie down and get up early in spring and summer, lie down and get up early in autumn, and lie down and get up late in winter.

Five bogeys: keeping quiet for a long time is harmful to the spirit. Too quiet, lonely, bored and lonely will make the elderly become depressed and withdrawn, lose confidence in life, and lead to a decline in health. Besides, beautiful music makes people relaxed and refreshed. Therefore, the elderly should have appropriate benign sound stimulation to improve their physical and mental health.

The above is a good summary of domestic elderly care. As for the care of the elderly abroad, I don't have relevant information at hand.
