There are "four appropriate" health care for the elderly.
First, be content mentally and psychologically.

As the old saying goes, "I don't know my old age but forget my worries", which means that the elderly should have fun, have fun without fun, and be happy before they can live a long and healthy life. Old people should learn to enjoy life and forget their troubles. You can adjust your mood according to your personal hobbies, or read and draw, or raise fish and birds, or raise flowers and hide stones, or practice boxing and sword.

Second, the diet should adhere to the five principles of miscellaneous, light, little, slow and warm, and the nutrition should adhere to the principle of "three more and three less".

"Miscellaneous" means that food should be diversified; "Light" means that the diet should be light; "Less" refers to eating less, eating moderately, and eating more in small quantities; "Slow" means not to eat too fast, chew slowly; "Wen" means eating more soft food instead of raw, cold, hard and indigestible food. "Three more and three less" means more protein, more vitamins, more cellulose, less sugar, less salt and less fat.

Old people should go to bed early and get up early, keep warm and have a proper rest. For example, soaking feet with hot water before going to bed at night can promote the operation of qi and blood, dredge meridians and get a good sleep; If you add ginger slices, pepper and other accessories to soak your feet with hot water, the effect of dispelling wind and dispelling cold will be better.

Exercise for 60 minutes every day or every other day 1 time, not less than 3 times a week. Proper exercise is of great benefit to the elderly physically and mentally.
