Developing good living habits, regular life, reasonable diet, no partial eclipse, no smoking, less drinking, frequent drinking of tea, and paying attention to hygiene and safety are also indispensable factors for health and longevity. The World Health Organization pointed out: "Personal lifestyle, including diet, consumption of tobacco, alcohol and drugs, and exercise, is the main factor that determines personal health". 1986, the health department put forward eight requirements for establishing good health habits: first, open-minded and optimistic; Second, combine work and rest and insist on exercise; Third, the law of life, good at leisure; Fourth, proper nutrition to prevent obesity; Fifth, don't smoke or drink; Sixth, family harmony and adaptation to the environment; Seventh, be kind to others and respect yourself; Eighth, love hygiene and pay attention to safety. If the majority of the elderly can meet these eight requirements, it is very meaningful to promote physical and mental health and improve the quality of life. According to modern scientific research, it is proved that all physiological activities of the human body have certain periodic time laws, which further proves that there is indeed a "biological clock" that automatically controls these physiological activities in the human body. If our life and rest system can be as consistent as possible with the command of the "biological clock" in the body, our body can stay healthy; At the same time, the regular life and rest system can also establish various conditioned reflexes in the brain nerve center, forming a fixed "dynamic stereotype", which can make the human body appear a series of continuous physiological activities and command the human body's activity arrangement, which is of great benefit to health. Reasonable diet, health and longevity The longevity of centenarians seems to be related to protein in diet. In Dagerstam of the former Soviet Union, there were many people over 100 years old who ate a lot of protein. Sun Simiao, a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, was the birthday girl in ancient China, who lived10/year. According to records, his eating habit is to seek fresh and light food. Green tea, light rice and an egg. In daily life, the elderly should choose to eat some high-quality protein, such as cereals, beans, lean meat, eggs and fish. Vegetable oil can lower cholesterol and prevent and treat senile diseases such as arteriosclerosis, hypertension and coronary heart disease. Avoid or eat less animal oil such as lard, butter and sheep oil. Vitamins have life-sustaining and anti-aging effects. Vegetables contain vitamin C, which can slow down arteriosclerosis and inhibit cancer. The diet of the elderly should master the following principles: 1. Moderate diet. Three meals a day "breakfast should be full, lunch should be good, and dinner should be less." The metabolic function of the elderly is low, and the total calorie of the total meal should not be too high. Eat regularly and quantitatively. Eat 70% to 80% of every meal, and eat less for dinner. Second: eat more vegetarian food, with dizzy elements, and the diet structure should be scientific and reasonable. "Three more and three less", that is, more protein, vitamins and cellulose; Less fat, sugar and salt. Third: easy to digest. Because of poor digestive ability and weak physiological function, the elderly especially need a balanced diet with delicious taste, easy digestion and rich nutrition. In addition, smoking is an important cause of hypertension and coronary heart disease. As the saying goes: "three points of medicine, seven points of support, very defensive." This shows the importance of health preservation. In many people's minds, only the elderly need health care, but it is not. Health care is a long road.
