How to manage the health of the elderly?
After middle age, the body gradually declined from prosperity, and the degradation of various organs gradually appeared. Forty to fifty years old is the prone age of gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory tract, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cancer and other diseases. Therefore, the health care of the elderly is particularly important. Next, I will explain to you how to carry out health care for the elderly from four aspects.

1, diet; With the gradual growth of age, the body function is also slowly declining, and the functions of various systems are also gradually deteriorating. The digestive system is also among them. Many foods can't be digested and absorbed well when people are old, including the emergence of various problems such as loose teeth when people are old, which also affects the digestion and absorption of food. Therefore, the elderly should pay special attention to their own diet, eat more high-quality protein and digestible food, and eat more foods rich in calcium. When people get old, calcium in bones and teeth loses quickly, which is very prone to osteoporosis. In addition, the elderly have a weak gastrointestinal tract and are not suitable for eating raw and undercooked food. Therefore, the food should be cooked as much as possible before use, and then you can choose to eat some health food.

2. Physical exercise; In fact, many elderly people do well in this respect. We can often see some old people exercising in the park, some playing Tai Ji Chuan and some dancing in the square dance. These are all very good exercises that are very suitable for the elderly. However, some elderly people are reluctant to go out, and it is a very wrong choice for the elderly not to exercise. Proper physical exercise can improve the immunity of the elderly and make them less likely to get sick. Moreover, going out in the sun and doing more exercise are also good for the bones of the elderly, and can also reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia.

3. Disease prevention; When people reach a certain age, their physical fitness will gradually decline, and their resistance and immunity cannot be compared with those when they were young. Some minor illnesses may cause serious discomfort, so it is particularly important for the prevention of diseases. When the seasons alternate, the elderly should not casually reduce their clothes. They should keep warm and change clothes according to climate change. Secondly, we should pay attention to hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, high cholesterol, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and so on. These diseases have a high incidence among the elderly, and they will have uncomfortable symptoms in their lives. They should go to the hospital in time and monitor their health problems in their daily life. Many old people have the virtue of diligence. Sometimes you can't bear to go to the hospital if you feel uncomfortable, but in fact this concept is very wrong. When the illness is serious, it will not only consume financial resources, but also cause great harm to the body and worry the children.

4. Spiritual aspect; When people are old, the spiritual aspect is also very important. Not only young people need proper entertainment, but also old people need their own entertainment methods. Only by maintaining a stable mood, less troubles and a broad mind can we better maintain our health. As the saying goes, laughing for less than ten years also proves from the side that being in a good mood is good for your health, and there is an old saying called worrying too much and getting old all night, which also reflects from the side that if you have mental anxiety, it will also have an impact on your health. Old people should enjoy their old age and should not worry too much about the trifles of life.
