It is most important for people to stay healthy when they are old. What should they do?
With the gradual increase of the number of elderly people, the metabolic rate and resistance of the body are rapidly declining after the elderly enter their old age, and people also attach importance to the health and preservation of the elderly. The elderly should be careful not to do strenuous exercise, have regular physical examinations, have a light and digestible diet and pay attention to safety.

First, pay attention to safety and avoid falling. Once a person is aging, the internal organs in the human body will degenerate, the digestive ability of the stomach will be weakened, and the absorption of nutrients in food will be reduced accordingly. In addition, when they get old, the loss of calcium in bones is very serious, so many elderly people are very prone to osteoporosis. If you exercise violently or fall down carelessly, your bones are fragile and can't bear the external pressure, which is especially easy to cause fractures. Moreover, the elderly themselves have poor absorption ability and poor metabolic ability, and the recovery period will be particularly long. If they are not properly treated or maintained, they may be paralyzed. Therefore, the exercise of the elderly is mainly carried out in a relaxed and slow way. Be careful when you walk, and don't worry when you move slowly, so as not to do harm to your body.

Second, the nutrition should be balanced. Because the digestive function of the elderly is relatively low, they should eat some digestible food. Coupled with the loss of calcium, you can drink more milk or appropriate calcium tablets to supplement calcium. Old people's body function metabolism is slow, so they can supplement protein. Eggs are very good food. protein is very high and has no calories. Eating one a day will not increase the risk of cholesterol increase. Fish can be used instead of meat because fish oil is not high and there are many trace elements. The diet of the elderly should not eat high-oil and high-calorie foods frequently, which will cause three high diseases.

Third, regular physical examination is necessary. Because the physical condition of the elderly is relatively weak, even if they pay attention to health care, there will still be physical discomfort. In order to prevent various diseases, the elderly should go to the hospital regularly every year to experience. If there is a disease, it can be found and treated as soon as possible. Many diseases are found too late, resulting in an irreversible situation. At the same time, the elderly should pay attention to rest and keep a happy mood.

Health care for the elderly is very important. We should not only pay attention to physical health, but also observe the mental health of the elderly. As long as you pay attention to proper exercise, balanced nutrition, regular experience and keep an optimistic and relaxed mood, you can become a healthy centenarian.
