How do the elderly maintain their health?
1, eat more brown rice and miscellaneous grains.
Carbohydrate contained in staple food is very important to human body, so coarse grains should be eaten together with flour and rice. At present, people's intake of staple food is gradually decreasing, but the intake of oil is increasing, and the intake of dietary fiber is even less. It is this unhealthy diet structure that will increase the risk of colorectal cancer, diabetes and obesity, so as long as we ensure the daily intake of staple food, we should pay attention to the diversification of diet. A healthy diet should be based on cereals. The daily intake of cereals and potatoes is 250-400g, including 50- 100g of potatoes and 50- 150g of miscellaneous grains and beans. However, the diet is not static, so it needs to be used flexibly. Don't be too entangled in the accurate standard of diet diversity in a day.
2. Keep moderate exercise
Nowadays, many old people are very cautious about sports. They don't like the poor air quality in morning exercise, and they are afraid of pulling the muscle activity area when doing strength training, so they will give up exercise. In fact, as long as you master the correct posture, you can minimize sports injuries. For example, warm up 10~ 15 minutes before exercise, and arrange exercise and rest reasonably to ensure that the body can bear it, and can't do strenuous exercise. Especially for the elderly with chronic diseases, they should not climb stairs or mountains, otherwise they will increase the wear and tear of their knees. Old people need to carry a pedometer with them when they exercise, and they need to sit still and rest after exercise. As long as you feel uncomfortable during exercise, you need to stop immediately. Don't try to be brave.
3. Keep a good attitude
4. Pay attention to disease prevention.
The more you know about health, the less happy you are. Prevention is more important than cure. If you pay too much attention, it will increase your psychological burden. If some elderly people have high blood pressure, they will try to reduce it, resulting in high blood pressure. For the elderly, blood pressure should be kept between 90/ 140mmhg, and blood pressure should be measured once every morning and evening. Find problems from the perspective of life, such as poor sleep, alcoholism, emotional depression and so on. After discovering high blood pressure. If the blood pressure is still high after monitoring, you need to seek the help of a doctor.

It is better for the elderly to keep the environment clean and casual. Environmental factors can affect people's behavior and improve people's efficiency in a clean environment, but messy environment can stimulate creativity. Old people don't need to pursue exquisiteness in everything in life, nor do they need to do everything themselves. Life is interesting only if you worry and save effort.
