The health of middle-aged and elderly people can also be maintained through exercise, but compared with young people, the exercise of middle-aged and elderly people is relatively mild and not irritating. Here's a brief introduction to exercise methods suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. The old man is not confused at the age of 40, and he begins to get old at the age of 50, feeling a little overwhelmed. In fact, a person is not very old at the age of 50, but it can be seen that his physical fitness has obviously declined. People who enter old age generally have more free time because they don't have to work. If they don't pay attention to exercise, many diseases of old age will follow. How should the elderly exercise when they are still active? With the growth of age, many people's exercise decreases, and gerontologists believe that it is very important for the elderly to keep healthy and live independently. Experts believe that the effect of exercise in treating diseases is almost equivalent to oral medicine. Of course, the natural aging process of the human body will challenge sports, so Dr. Wisrick put forward sports methods suitable for the elderly of different ages. After entering the age of 50, people's muscle and joint pain will become more and more obvious. At this time, it is necessary to carry out some aerobic exercises that can improve the heart rate, and at the same time, the impact on the joints should not be too great. Swimming and cycling can be used instead of running. If you love running so much that you can't give up, you need to choose a pair of high-quality sports shoes to reduce the impact on your knees. If you are a person who has never exercised much, you must consult a specialist before doing aerobic exercise and fully realize all possible risk factors. Back pain is also a common symptom that plagues people over 50 years old. Wesley believes that the best way to protect the back is to build a strong core muscle group. After entering the age of 60, the elderly should strengthen balance and leg strength exercise, which can enhance the flexibility of the body and avoid accidental falls. Walking, yoga and other sports can improve the balance ability of the elderly and enhance leg strength. Carrying out weight-bearing exercise at this stage can also keep the bones of the elderly healthy and prevent osteoporosis. Many 60-year-olds have symptoms of arthritis, which makes it difficult for them to exercise. Dr. Wesley believes that exercise can help relieve the symptoms of arthritis patients as long as it is done properly. Walking, which can improve the heart rate, is a good way to exercise, which is more suitable for patients with arthritis and fibromyalgia to exercise in water (such as swimming). For the elderly in their seventies and eighties, Alzheimer's disease is the biggest hidden danger, which can be prevented by gymnastics, walking, Tai Ji Chuan and gardening. Wesley believes that if physical exercise is combined with correct eating habits, the quality of life of the elderly will be improved. Maybe you think that the elderly should enjoy family happiness at home when they are old, but I think that only when they are in good health can they be truly happy, so middle-aged and elderly people should always take proper exercise.
