First, regular exercise can delay aging.
In daily life, the elderly who exercise regularly are much younger than those who don't exercise, and the organ function of the elderly who love sports is stronger and more perfect than those who don't exercise. Scientific research has proved that exercise can accelerate the blood circulation of the elderly, thus effectively maintaining and maintaining the functions of various organs of the elderly in a relatively good state, and can delay the aging of various organs. Therefore, the elderly need to insist on a certain amount of exercise that suits them every day.
Second, exercise can improve the heart and lung function of the elderly.
Adequate regular exercise can effectively improve the myocardial contraction function of the elderly, thus effectively promoting blood circulation and enhancing the metabolic function of the human body. The incidence of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease in the elderly who exercise regularly is indeed lower than that in the elderly who do not exercise. In addition, exercise can also strengthen the lung function of the elderly and effectively improve the vitality and work efficiency of alveoli.
Many elderly people will choose to spend hours walking and dancing in square dance, but their meals are usually light and vegetarian, and there is not enough nutrition. Moreover, the appetite of the elderly also decreases with age, the absorption function of gastrointestinal tract weakens, and most elderly people sleep less. Therefore, when the elderly get older, their immunity will easily decline, which will lead to illness.
Therefore, for the elderly, please remember that nutrition is often more important than exercise, and middle-aged and elderly people should also pay attention to balanced nutrition, so as to reduce diseases and prolong life. Choosing a reasonable and rich diet for the elderly can supplement the missing qi and blood of the elderly, enhance their physique, make all organs of the body have sufficient blood supply, reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and prolong their life.
Thirdly, exercise can effectively regulate emotions and improve the psychology of the elderly.
After retirement, many old people are depressed because they suddenly become idle, and even have some mental illness problems. Exercise can effectively adjust the mood of the elderly, increase the fun of life and improve the bad psychological factors in the hearts of the elderly. In addition, the elderly can secrete a hormone during exercise, which can make the elderly more relaxed and cheerful. As the saying goes, "smile, ten years younger" is the truth.
Fourthly, exercise can also prevent Alzheimer's disease and osteoporosis.
Exercise can make the old people's thoughts more concentrated and improve their thinking ability. The brain of the elderly is active because of exercise, which can effectively reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. In addition, exercise can also enhance the bone density of the elderly and prevent a series of orthopedic diseases such as osteoporosis caused by bone loss in the elderly.
In a word, exercise plays an irreplaceable role in human body and can make outstanding contributions to human health. Therefore, the elderly must adhere to daily physical exercise, strengthen their physique and improve their immunity. But the elderly should also do what they can, and don't exercise too hard or too much, so as not to bring unnecessary harm to the body.
The elderly should choose to eat some soft and digestible foods according to their physical characteristics. Usually, you can choose to drink some milk every day and eat some high-protein foods in eggs to ensure the intake of pork, beef and other meat, so that the nutrition is relatively complete. Choose some fresh vegetables and try to eat less cold food, because cold food is more likely to hurt the spleen and stomach.

Moderate exercise combined with reasonable and healthy nutrition will make qi and blood more abundant and maintain a good and pleasant body and mind, which is also very necessary for health.
