With the continuous growth of age, physical function will also decline. I believe that many middle-aged and elderly people will show signs of physical deterioration, just as they used to be able to go up four floors in one breath, but when they are old, they will feel out of breath when they go up the stairs. Therefore, for middle-aged and elderly people, there are three things that cannot be done too hard if they want to be healthy. So what are the three things?
As the saying goes, "Life lies in exercise". Although exercise can strengthen the body, excessive exercise can also hurt the body. People are more prone to calcium deficiency when they are old, and the function of the body will decline when they are old, leading to the continuous loss of calcium. Therefore, it will indirectly affect the brittleness of bones and accelerate osteoporosis in middle-aged and elderly people.
Therefore, many people will think of supplementing calcium through exercise, and some middle-aged and elderly people will often go outdoors to bask in the sun. Although both exercise and sunbathing can improve the calcium absorption function, frequent exercise and sunbathing will not only lead to higher calcium absorption, but also lead to other health problems.
In addition, some middle-aged and elderly people also like walking, a relatively relaxed sport. Walking can really help middle-aged and elderly people improve their physical fitness and exercise their cardiopulmonary function better. But it is not recommended that middle-aged and elderly people walk too long every day. For example, some middle-aged and elderly people like to walk 10 thousand steps every day. For middle-aged and elderly people, the more steps, the better. Walking too much is not only useless to the elderly, but also causes damage to the knees.
For the elderly, doctors suggest jogging as a form of exercise instead of walking. Jogging is good exercise for middle-aged and elderly people, but if you have asthma or bronchi, you need moderate exercise. In addition, middle-aged and elderly people with hypertension need to avoid strenuous exercise if their blood pressure is unstable. Moderate leisure exercise is more suitable for middle-aged and elderly people than vigorous confrontation exercise.
Although exercise is a very healthy living habit, middle-aged and elderly people must exercise within the range that the body can bear, and the frequency and time of exercise should not be too diligent. In addition, if middle-aged and elderly people find themselves suffering from degenerative joint diseases, they need to pay special attention not to exercise excessively, so as not to aggravate the condition.
In life, some elderly people often eat nourishing food for their health. Although those medicated diets that nourish the body can help middle-aged and elderly people get better nutrition and increase their resistance. However, we must pay attention to proper nutritional supplements and never over-nourish. Regular nutrition supplementation may not affect the body in a short time, but long-term frequent nourishment will affect the body.
With the development of society, a variety of health products have gradually appeared in the market. Many elderly people have a misconception that health care products are nutritious and can improve various functions of the body. But they don't know that some health products can only bring benefits to the body if they are used correctly. If they are abused, they will not only be harmful to health, but even endanger health.
In addition to nourishing health products and medicated diets, some elderly people still have wrong eating habits. Most middle-aged and elderly people think that meat is the best dietotherapy method to supplement nutrition, but they don't know that excessive intake of big fish and meat can not only help the body supplement the needed nutrition, but may even cause obesity. In addition, meat also contains food additives. Once it is better than the maximum intake, there is a high risk of poisoning.
In addition, if middle-aged and elderly people can develop good living and eating habits at ordinary times, then there is no need to supplement the required nutrition through exercise and health care products. Health products are only suitable for sub-healthy people or people with specific diseases. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people should not follow the trend to buy health care products, and should not be too diligent to supplement nutrition.
With the growth of age, many elderly people will smell some peculiar smells. Actually, it's not an odor, it's the smell of old people. The smell of the elderly is caused by many reasons, such as slow metabolism and increased oil in middle-aged and elderly people. When middle-aged and elderly people find that they have the smell of the elderly, they usually choose to take a bath. Although bathing helps to remove the odor of the elderly, bathing should not be too frequent.
Excessive bathing frequency will damage the stratum corneum, and the skin of middle-aged and elderly people is very fragile. Therefore, it is suggested that this group of people should not take a bath too often, and it is more appropriate to take a bath once a week. In addition, if middle-aged and elderly people want to reduce body odor and protect their skin, they can choose to apply some products such as body lotion on their bodies after taking a shower. This can not only help the skin to moisturize, but also keep the fragrance.
In addition to taking a bath, middle-aged and elderly people should also do housework and not be too diligent. Doing housework often will bring some injuries to the muscles and joints of middle-aged and elderly people, such as mopping the floor for a long time and bending over. Bending and mopping the floor for a long time will be very unfavorable to middle-aged and elderly people with lumbar disc herniation. In addition, middle-aged and elderly people often squat to wipe the floor, which also has a certain impact on the knee joint.
For the elderly, it is usually enough to clean the housework once or twice a week. If middle-aged and elderly people do housework too diligently, it will easily lead to muscle strain, backache and backache. You can choose to walk more when you have time, which is not only good for your health, but also helps to promote metabolism.
1, drink plenty of water
Water is the source of life. Drinking water every day is really good for your health. But it doesn't mean that drinking more water is better for your health. Everyone has different needs every day. If you consume too much water every day, it is likely to increase the burden on your kidneys and eventually damage your health. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people should drink water according to their physical condition every day, and try to stick to the daily intake of 1500-2000ml.
2. Eat only coarse grains
Because coarse grains contain some trace elements and dietary fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis, many middle-aged and elderly people have begun to develop the habit of eating coarse grains. Even some middle-aged and elderly people have developed the habit of eating only coarse grains instead of rice. In fact, the concept of eating only coarse grains is wrong. Eating coarse grains for a long time will not achieve the effect of health preservation, but will hurt the gastrointestinal tract and affect the absorption of local nutrients.
3. Natural things must be good.
Health care generally involves food supplement, so many people often drink some pure natural things to keep healthy. Some middle-aged and elderly people think that pure natural things must be better than those on the market. But in fact, many pure natural things are also toxic, and they must be processed before they can be used, otherwise poisoning is likely to occur.
Sweat as much as possible.
Sweating can help our body excrete some metabolites and toxins, so proper sweating is also a way of keeping in good health. However, many people think that the more you sweat, the better, but in fact sweat is also a part of human body fluids. Excessive sweating is likely to cause problems such as insufficient body fluid and kidney yin deficiency.
Step 5 soak your feet for a long time
There will be hidden dangers if you don't keep in good health, especially those who soak your feet for a long time. Although soaking feet is a way to promote health, we should also control the time of soaking feet. If you soak your feet for more than half an hour, you may increase the burden on important organs of the human body because of the rapid blood circulation. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people must develop the correct habit of soaking their feet, not soaking their feet for a long time.
6, often go to cupping and dampness.
In life, if there is too much moisture in the body, many people will think of cupping to remove the moisture in the body. Cupping is beneficial to the elimination of moisture, but it is not suitable for cupping frequently. If middle-aged and elderly people frequently hold cups in a short period of time, or some parts repeatedly hold cups, it will bring potential safety hazards to the body and even cause serious damage to the skin. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people must avoid these misunderstandings in the process of health preservation, so as not to cause harm to the body.
1, control emotions
Emotion is very important to a person. In daily life, people will always encounter things that are not satisfactory or don't know how to relieve their emotions. As we all know, bad mood will not only have a certain impact on our mood, but also impose a burden on the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems of the human body.
In addition, if a person is in a bad mood for a long time, it is easy to lead to depression. Therefore, if you want to have a healthy body, you must first control your emotions.
2. Eat supplements in moderation.
In life, we often see some children choose to buy various supplements for the health of their parents. Although the nutritional value of supplements is high, the metabolism of middle-aged and elderly people is very slow.
Therefore, a large number of supplements will not only increase the burden on the body organs of middle-aged and elderly people, but also affect their health. It can be seen that proper supplements can increase the nutrition of the body, but it is definitely not that the more supplements you eat, the better.
3. Reasonable diet structure
As the saying goes, "illness comes from the mouth", and many diseases in the body are caused by people's unhealthy diet. In life, many people like to eat fried food with heavy seasoning. Although those foods are delicious to eat, they will cause various diseases of the body after a long time, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, if you want to stay healthy, you should develop good eating habits in your daily life.
In life, both middle-aged and young people are likely to be affected by diseases. However, once a person is over 50 years old, it means that the speed of physical decline will accelerate.
Hard work is a good way of life, but for middle-aged and elderly people, some things should not be too hard. For example, if middle-aged and elderly people are too diligent, the three lifestyles mentioned above will not only be harmful to their health, but also affect their health. Therefore, as middle-aged and elderly people, we should know the correct health care methods.
In fact, it is not difficult for middle-aged and elderly people to be healthy. As long as you choose the right way of keeping in good health, you should get rid of some habits from the details of life. Only a proper lifestyle can bring health.
In addition, for middle-aged and elderly people, you can set aside half an hour for some aerobic exercise every day. This can help the body to enhance the frequency of metabolism and promote the smooth blood circulation, but choose the aerobic exercise that suits you according to your physical condition. Finally, I hope this article can help middle-aged and elderly people.
