What misunderstandings should middle-aged and elderly people avoid to keep healthy?
Now, most children will take time to visit their parents and patiently guide them on how to eat healthily and how to exercise to strengthen their physique. Moreover, some elderly people will learn some knowledge about health care when watching TV or newspapers, but it is easy to misunderstand health care.

1. Eggs are too high in cholesterol to eat.

Many old people think that eggs contain a lot of cholesterol, so they can't be eaten. In fact, cholesterol in egg yolk contains essential nutrients for the elderly. So eat eggs. It is best to eat an egg every day. If you are an elderly person with high cholesterol, it is best to eat an egg every two days.

2. Diligence and thrift, love to eat overnight dishes

Many old people are used to hard life and like to save money. They are reluctant to throw away the leftovers and will continue to eat them hot the next day. Saving is a good habit, which is worth learning by our younger generation, but this behavior is not desirable, because overnight dishes are easy to breed bacteria, and eating bad stomachs is a trivial matter. Many overnight dishes contain a lot of nitrite, which can cause cancer.

Fruit is a snack, you can eat it or not.

Many old people think that fruit can be eaten, but not eaten. In fact, for the elderly, fruit should be eaten, because there are minerals needed by the body, which can resist aging. Some fruits also contain dietary fiber, which can effectively lower blood cholesterol and prevent diseases.

4. Reduce blood pressure and blood lipids, and don't eat oil and salt.

As we all know, eating too much oil and salt will increase blood pressure and blood lipids, so many elderly people have developed the habit of not eating oil and salt. However, limiting the intake of oil and salt can also lead to insufficient sodium ion intake, unbalanced osmotic pressure, easy entry of water into cells, edema, accelerated heart rate and nausea and vomiting. The best way is for the elderly to control 6 grams of salt and 25 grams of oil every day.

Eat a lot of supplements

Now people's conditions are getting better and better, and they have better conditions to buy some supplements, and even spend a lot of money to buy some precious medicinal materials. Ginseng, Cordyceps sinensis and so on are all on people's purchase list, but everything is counterproductive, and so is nourishing the body. If it is not controlled, it is easy to make up for more and more deficiencies, but it is not good for your health. We should avoid this misunderstanding of keeping in good health.

Make tea in a thermos cup

Soaking Lycium barbarum in a thermos cup is a very common way of keeping in good health, but if you make tea in a thermos cup, it is a very common health misunderstanding. When making tea, there will be certain requirements for the water temperature, and it is best to keep it at 80℃. However, if tea is kept at a relatively high temperature for a long time, it is easy to destroy the vitamins in tea, and it will also lead to the leakage of theophylline tannins, which will have a toxic reaction to the body for a long time. Therefore, we must pay attention to this health misunderstanding.

7. Drink plenty of water

Although drinking more water is good for your health, you need to keep it within a certain range. The more you drink, the better. After all, the water your body needs is within a certain range. If you take too much water, it will not only not promote blood circulation, but also increase the burden on your body, which will easily lead to electrolyte imbalance and damage your health. This is also a common health misunderstanding.

Stay away from the misunderstanding of health preservation and choose these three correct health preservation methods;

1. Early to bed and early to rise. Early to bed and early to rise is the most effective way to keep healthy. Ensuring adequate and regular sleep can supplement yang and ensure the normal operation of various organs of the body.

2. It is moderate exercise. If you want to stay healthy, you can't do it without exercise. But there is also a misunderstanding in sports, that is, the more exercise, the better. It is important to exercise properly and not feel tired.

3. Be in a good mood. Being in a good mood has a good effect on ensuring the metabolism of the body. Otherwise, it is easy to damage organs, especially the heart. However, there is still a health misunderstanding, that is, don't be too happy, otherwise it will hurt your health.
