Humans have evolved from reptiles to animals that walk upright on their legs, but many old people live in groups? Tortoise and snake crawling? It seems to be back to the stage of crawling on all fours. In fact, this is not an atavistic phenomenon, but a way for the elderly to exercise. There is a 9 1 year-old man in Guangzhou who leads a group of old people to imitate turtles and snakes crawling in the park every day. The old man said that he liked sports very much since he was a child, and turtles and snakes crawled around to keep fit.

This sport has also been recognized by professional doctors. The doctor said that this way can exercise the muscles and bones of the whole body. However, this method is not suitable for everyone, such as people with poor heart, lung and blood vessels, or people with chest tightness or dizziness, and it is not suitable for turtles and snakes to crawl.

0 1, a fitness method suitable for the elderly. Although tortoise and snake crawling helps to exercise, it is not suitable for all elderly people. Old people who want to exercise can try these ways. One is tai chi. Tai Chi is suitable for all old people. Because Tai Chi is slow and gentle. The second is swimming. Swimming for the elderly can increase vital capacity, strengthen heart function, and exercise the muscles of the whole body, and swimming will not hurt the knee joints of the elderly. The third kind is simple gymnastics, which is specially aimed at the elderly. This kind of gymnastics can also exercise and is suitable for the physical condition of the elderly.

02, the elderly should pay attention to diet in addition to exercise, the elderly should pay more attention to diet than young people. Diet should be light, such as barbecue, fried things, pickled things, things with too high sugar, and eat less of these things. Otherwise, it is easy to cause three highs. Because the elderly have low glucose tolerance, they should eat less foods with high sugar content. Eat less salt to avoid high blood pressure. Generally speaking, it is good to eat lightly.

03, the elderly should pay attention to mental health in addition to physical health, the elderly should also pay attention to their own mental health. Of course, this should not only be concerned by the elderly, but also by young people. There are many elderly people, all left behind, who are healthy, but lonely, and their children are not around, and some have not returned home for several years. Therefore, mental health still needs the company and care of young people.
