First, keep enough sleep.
A study by American medical college shows that lack of sleep and insomnia will increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease. In addition, poor sleep in clinic can lead to anxiety and depression in many cases. Therefore, a good sleep is helpful for the elderly to quickly recover their energy, enhance their immunity and improve their memory.
Second, proper aerobic exercise.
Proper aerobic exercise for the elderly can effectively improve cardiopulmonary function, consume body fat and improve body resistance. However, it should be noted that the elderly should do aerobic exercise in moderation and not over-stimulate. For example, dancing, aerobics and Tai Ji Chuan are all suitable. In addition, warm-up exercises should be done before exercise to avoid injuries during exercise.
Third, regular health checks.
Regular examination is helpful for the elderly to understand the risk factors of health, and it is helpful for early intervention, early prevention and early treatment. People aged 50 to 60 are examined once a year, and the elderly over 60 are examined once every six months.
Fourth, the emergency card does not leave.
Nowadays, many elderly people suffer from chronic diseases. For them, they are most afraid of getting sick suddenly when they go out, so it is really important to carry an emergency card with them. Especially for patients with coronary heart disease, diabetes and asthma. This not only enables rescuers to quickly understand the patient's medical history, but also enables rescuers to accurately use drugs and enable patients to receive treatment in time. Cardboard should be used when making first aid cards. The paper must include the name, age, contact number, address and other information of relevant family members, and the information of the paper should be clear.
Five, a happy heart
It is very beneficial for the elderly to keep a comfortable and happy heart. But many old people are always depressed and lose their value after retirement, so they can only stay at home and don't know how to vent their inner emotions. There is no harm in choosing this time to travel. Travel can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, but also make like-minded friends during the trip, which makes the mood between conversations more comfortable and beneficial to physical and mental health. However, it is suggested that the elderly should comprehensively evaluate their physical condition before going out and choose when they are healthy.
Three misunderstandings should be avoided;
1, eating healthy food can prolong life.
Many unscrupulous businessmen take advantage of the characteristics that the elderly attach importance to health and wellness, make inferior products, recharge them, and deceive middle-aged and elderly people. In the hospital, some patients even asked me what kind of panacea this product was. The ingredients of this thing are mostly protein. Eating it will not lead to health and longevity, so middle-aged and elderly friends should stop believing in this health care product. Scientific health preservation is right.
2, reduce the side effects of drugs and prolong the life of the meeting.
Many middle-aged and elderly people have some chronic diseases, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia. These diseases need to be controlled by taking medicine for a long time, and patients think that taking this medicine for a long time has great side effects and can shorten their life, so it is very dangerous to choose to eat less or not. In fact, this is very dangerous. At the level of modern medicine, drugs are the least harmful to human body, and not taking drugs is the most dangerous.
Vegetarian food is good for your health.
Doctors advise middle-aged and elderly people not to eat too much. Obesity is due to the stress of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Many people think that long-term vegetarianism is good for health, and there is no excess fat in the body, which can reduce the probability of getting sick. This statement is wrong. People over 60 should eat reasonably. Not eating meat can lead to cholesterol and other nutritional deficiencies such as protein.
