In fact, aging is not sudden, and the aging age of various organs in our body is different, but after a certain age, it will gradually stand out, so we will feel as if aging is coming after 50 years old.
In fact, no matter who is very afraid of death and wants to prolong his life, everyone should pay attention to maintenance in peacetime, so that even if he can't prolong his life, he can reduce the probability of illness and reduce the pain of the disease.
There are two ways to maintain health: diet therapy and exercise, so many elderly people will study food and exercise at the same time to achieve the effect of maintaining health, especially when we go to the square or park at night or in the morning, we often see some elderly people walking, playing Tai Ji Chuan or dancing square dance.
Because with the growth of age, the body is not as good as before, so elderly friends can't choose some strenuous exercise, so walking has become their most common choice. Can walking really prolong life?
Walking can indeed achieve the effect of delaying aging, but it is not suitable for everyone. If you walk in the wrong posture or way, it will hurt your health.
Especially now, there is a saying that people walk 65438+100000 steps a day. Many elderly friends will force themselves to walk more than 65438+100000 steps every day regardless of their physical condition. If they exercise too much, they will cause some damage to their knees and may also cause muscle strain.
Older friends can usually exercise by walking, but they must master the method. First, they must choose a pair of running shoes with better quality, and the best place to choose is the plastic track or playground, which can also cushion their knees and reduce the damage to them.
In fact, after the age of 50, in order to achieve the effect of health preservation, the following four things may be more important than exercise.
Insist on soaking feet
There are many acupoints on the soles of our feet, which are connected with various organs of the body. Then you can soak your feet properly before going to bed at night, which can dredge meridians, stimulate acupoints and promote blood circulation.
When soaking feet, it can drive away the damp and cold gas in the body, help to discharge toxins and garbage in the blood, and improve the body's resistance and immunity. And you can also add some Chinese herbal medicines when soaking your feet, and the effect will be better.
However, when soaking feet, you should master the method, the water temperature should be kept at about 40, the soaking time should be kept at about 20 minutes, and a thick coat should be added to soak feet in cold weather to prevent sweating and catching a cold.
Learn to relax.
Many diseases are caused by anger, so in order to achieve the effect of health preservation, elderly friends should first correct their mentality, adopt a more optimistic attitude and let go of everything.
According to statistics, those old people who live long are often in a good mood, and they smile at life every day. Old friends should enjoy their old age in peace. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so they don't have to work too hard for their children. If they have the conditions, they can travel more. At the same time, it can cultivate one of their hobbies, improve their brain vitality and enrich their later life.
In order to ensure adequate sleep
Although the elderly friends have lower requirements for sleep, this is because melatonin secretion is reduced, so the elderly friends have shorter sleep time every day, but in any case, at least 6 hours of sleep time should be guaranteed every day. If you often play mobile phone before going to bed, it will lead to serious lack of sleep, increase the burden of various organs, and is not conducive to organ repair and adjustment.
However, in addition to ensuring sleep, some elderly friends are easy to take a nap as soon as they sit down because they have nothing to do. Such elderly friends should also be careful not to sleep too much, which will reduce brain activity and easily increase the probability of developing Alzheimer's disease.
Timely replenishment of water
There are many old people in life. They don't usually drink much water. Only when they are thirsty can they remember that they are already in a state of obvious water shortage.
70% of our body is water, which plays a vital role in our body, helping us to metabolize, detoxify and digest. Only by ensuring adequate water intake can we promote blood circulation and accelerate metabolism, which is more conducive to good health.
Conclusion: Of course, walking is also a very good way to keep fit, but everyone should choose according to their own physique. In addition, to do the above four things well and improve your disease resistance, your body will be healthier.
