Myth 1: Don't eat meat, just eat vegetables.
Many elderly people are prone to three highs and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so in order to be healthy, many elderly people only eat vegetables instead of meat. Although it is good to lose weight, such a lifestyle is unhealthy, and thinness can also cause various diseases. What we pursue is good health and a "symmetrical" figure.
But if you don't eat meat to lose weight, this lifestyle will hurt you. As we all know, there are many vegetarians in America, especially middle-aged people, who are vegetarians without distractions. But before long, they will have some diseases, such as low blood pressure and anemia.
Many old people only eat vegetables, not meat. After a few years, they will be malnourished, their hair will be dry, and vegetables will contain certain plant fibers. The elderly have weak intestinal function and may have gastrointestinal diseases. Only by adhering to a healthy and balanced diet can we be healthier and live longer.
Myth 2: Excessive morning exercise
Many old people get up early, and morning exercise has become a new trend of healthy life. Although morning exercise is very good, I chose the wrong place for morning exercise on the road. Many articles show that the elderly who do morning exercises on the road are more likely to cause various diseases.
Because of the poor air quality on the road, there are a lot of automobile exhaust, sulfur dioxide and particulate matter in the air, and the elderly who do morning exercises on the road are more likely to inhale these polluted gases. Therefore, it is necessary to choose some places with fresh air for exercise, which will not only help your health, but also relieve your visual fatigue.
Myth 3: Excessive consumption of health care products
In recent years, with the improvement of living standards, more and more elderly people began to take health care products. However, the hot health care products market has also produced many health care products with mixed quality. Some health care products have been strictly investigated by the state, and some health care products have even added illegal drugs.
You know, health care products can't replace drugs. Many elderly people listened to the salesman's promotion, bought a lot of health care products, and what's more, sold all their houses. Therefore, the elderly should improve their ability to distinguish right from wrong, and don't blindly listen to others' recommendations.
Myth 4: Insist on taking Chinese medicine.
Many elderly people have a soft spot for Chinese medicine, which is really effective in the long run, but for their own bodies, they must choose something that suits them, not because they firmly believe that it can be good for their bodies.
For some diseases, we can't blindly believe in Chinese medicine, such as three highs, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Choosing western medicine is more effective. Therefore, if you have physical problems, you must go to the hospital in time and choose the way that suits you.
Conclusion: To sum up, if the elderly want to live longer, they must adhere to scientific living habits and avoid the pit of health preservation, so that they can be healthier and live longer.
