"Seven Little" Old People
When people reach a certain age, the physiological function of the body will change, so psychological and emotional abnormalities will occur, which is easy to produce some negative and pessimistic psychology. In addition, if you work hard and relax more, you will inevitably suffer from old age. To this end, older friends should pay more attention.
Less angry
An angry enemy. Neijing says: "Everything is born of qi", "Anger is born of qi" and "Anger hurts the liver". Anger will hinder people's popularity, leading to qi stagnation, which can cause many kinds, especially harmony, so the elderly should abstain from qi.
Less desire
Ancient scholars believed that pure heart and lack of desire, indifference and nothingness, and sufficient righteousness; If you pursue fame and fortune, it will make your qi disorder and easily lead to qi stagnation and blood stasis.
Shaose
Anyone who lives a long life regards "distant wife" as one of his experiences. Because overwork will hurt the kidney, and kidney qi injury will make people aging. Young people get old before they get old. What's more, the elderly are the body of declining yang, so it is more appropriate to use less color or forbidden color to preserve the essence.
Shao Yan
"It hurts to talk too much." Talking too much, uneven breath, easy to hurt lung qi and middle qi. Qi is closely related to essence and spirit. When qi gathers, it is sufficient, and when it is sufficient, it is happy. Therefore, less words can gather energy and produce essence, and essence can concentrate. In addition, the old man talked too much and made mistakes. Instead of pleasing his children and grandchildren, he turned joy into worry.
Eat less.
Spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow and the source of systemic nutrition intake. If you drink too much, it will be difficult to get wet; You can't eat too much, but if you eat too much, you will get stuck. If the long-term diet is thick and delicious, and the intake exceeds the body's needs, it will form food stagnation, qi stagnation, phlegm and blood stasis. Therefore, it advocates "don't eat when you are extremely hungry, but don't be full." Eating less spleen is easy to grind and transport, which can make the rushing qi fill the muscle marrow, which is beneficial to health and longevity.

Sleep is an important factor of health. Old people have a good habit of lying down, but they should also be temperate. It hurts to lie down for a long time. If you stay in bed for a long time, it will damage the yang. When people's yang is not extended, the activity ability of the body will decrease, and the digestive function of the spleen and stomach will also weaken. Therefore, it is better for the elderly to move more and lie less.
Sit down less
Don't sit too much, it will damage your muscles. Some elderly people have nothing to do at home, indulge in TV and playing cards, and go out by car without walking, which will cause blood stasis, ecchymosis and bruising on local skin, and even form. Therefore, the elderly can't sit for a long time, they can often walk, move their limbs and keep their blood vessels open.
Traditional Chinese medicine diet
Old people of different ages have different physical conditions and different needs for nutrients. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the direction and focus of diet according to age, which will be more targeted and effective.
For people aged 45-60, it is mainly based on physical illness and physical health. For example, it is suggested that patients with Alzheimer's disease take vitamin E containing antioxidants and antioxidants, which can slow down the development of symptoms; Eat less salt and more foods rich in potassium, such as dried apricots, beans and dried fruits. At this age, we should increase the proportion of fruit and meat, reduce the intake of meat and reduce the intake of fat. Eat more foods rich in fiber. Middle-aged people are worried about prostate disease and can eat more foods rich in zinc, vitamin E and low saturated animal fat. Sesame, lean meat and liver are rich in zinc. Cod liver oil and sunflower seed oil are rich in vitamin e.
The nutritional needs of the elderly aged 60-65 are similar to those of middle-aged people, but they need less calories and more vitamin D, and the proportion of fat, protein and carbohydrate intake of the elderly is close to that of adults.
The elderly over 65 years old usually lack magnesium and potassium, and some of them also lack vitamin C, iron, vitamin D _ B- carotene and most B vitamins. Therefore, we should eat more foods rich in antioxidants, such as fruit and vegetable oil, cellulose, oily fish and low-fat animal meat.
A reasonable and healthy diet for the elderly is helpful to prevent and treat diseases and keep fit. Older people of different ages should pay more attention to reasonable diet according to their own characteristics.
"Four Threats" of the Elderly in TCM Health Care
With the increasing population of the elderly in China, the problems of the elderly have attracted more and more attention from the society. Many elderly people have different degrees of psychological distress. Most of the causes of psychological problems of the elderly are widowed, children leaving home to work, old and weak, declining social status and thinking that they have become a burden to the family and society.
Widowhood will increase mortality.
The pain of widowhood in old age has become a cruel fact that many people must face directly. According to statistics, the number of elderly people who died due to psychological imbalance caused by the death of their spouses is seven times that of ordinary elderly people. Psychologists' research also proves that the death of a spouse is the most shocking event in life, especially for the elderly.
"Empty nest" has become a common problem for the elderly in cities.
With the deepening of social aging, there are more and more "empty nest" elderly people. In order to have a happy old age, it is particularly important for the elderly to adjust their mentality. First of all, we should learn to care for ourselves and find ways that suit us, such as getting in touch with the outside world and releasing the waste heat of society. In addition, it is also important to learn self-regulation and establish a regular life.
Retirement creates a psychological gap.
Many elderly people have just retired from their jobs and will feel a certain sense of loss. If you can't adjust your mentality at this time, it may lead to a series of psychological problems. From the family point of view, family members can accompany the elderly to participate in cultural and sports activities, distract their attention and enrich their spiritual and cultural life.
From a social point of view, community neighborhood committees strengthen the cultural construction of the elderly in the community and enrich their spiritual and cultural life. Organize some group activities such as fishing, planting flowers and raising birds.
Depression becomes an "alternative killer"
Depression is one of the most common functions of the elderly, and it is very common among the elderly. Suicide of the elderly is usually related to depression. Therefore, if the elderly are found to have some abnormal phenomena, psychological adjustment or treatment should be carried out in time to avoid triggering.
Conclusion: The curative effect of TCM health care will be much better than others, and the elderly are still suitable for TCM health care.
