What do you mean "old"? What are the symbols of "old"? It can be summarized as the following aspects: hair turning white, teeth shaking and falling off, eyes and ears are not flexible, memory deterioration, boring diet, loss of appetite, indigestion, backache, poor foot and knee movement, weakness of limbs or insomnia and lethargy.
However, the process of "getting old" is not consistent, some are old and lasting, and some are premature. One of the problems of maintaining the body is the so-called way of keeping in good health. Good maintenance can delay the arrival of aging, delay the process of aging and prolong life. China's social system requires the elderly to have a sense of security, good health and a happy life. China has a preferential treatment system of respecting the elderly, all of which hope that the elderly can live a long life.
Some people think that keeping healthy means working less, having more rest, eating well and sleeping more, which is not comprehensive. Some people think that old people really have a lot of experience to learn from people who have lived in the old age, such as eating porridge, being alone, stamping their feet, eating more vegetarian dishes, doing more activities, doing outdoor physical exercise in the morning, taking 300 steps after meals, taking 10000 steps every day and so on. Some people ask the true Zen master of the Jade Buddha Temple for advice on health preservation, which can be summarized as frugality, beware of colds, get up early and go to bed early, exercise, and always be optimistic and open-minded. (1) Pay attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation.
① clothes
The purpose of clothes is to cover the body, keep warm and look beautiful. But the clothes of the elderly should be loose and soft, which can make the blood flow smoothly. Winter clothes should be light, warm and easy to move. Close-fitting clothes should be cotton, because chemical fiber clothes sulk, which will cause skin allergies in some elderly people.
The color of clothes, the elderly do not have to wear blue, black and other dark colors, with the change of seasons, you can also use beautiful colors, wearing light-colored clothes can appear more energetic, and the color in summer should be light.
② diet
Diet is an important way for people to maintain nutrition. The elderly should pay attention to the following aspects in their diet:
A. the food is not too thin. Eat both thick and thin, but not too thin. If you don't eat crude fiber food, over time, the gastrointestinal function will decline, and constipation will increase your troubles. Of course, elderly people with indigestion or people who often go to loose stool will also be treated according to their illness.
B.the food is not too difficult. The gastric mucosa of the elderly is thin, and the trend of atrophy is gradually enhanced with the increase of age, so the digestive ability is poor and the acid secretion function is also reduced. The teeth of the elderly gradually fall off and are damaged, and the lack of chewing increases the burden on the gastric mucosa. Therefore, hard food should be eaten less or not, such as fried and undercooked food.
C. eat lightly. Too much fat in greasy things (thick and thick) will promote the early hardening of blood vessels and precipitate on the blood vessel wall. High cholesterol is easy to suffer from coronary heart disease. Eating less high-calorie foods, such as chocolate, can increase calories for people with high physical exertion, but eating more for the elderly will affect the intake of normal diet.
Old people who are prone to fullness after meals should eat less milk and soy milk, which is more prone to flatulence after eating. All kinds of beans can hold their breath and should not eat more.
D. no partial eclipse. We should "eat everything" and "eat less everything" to make the absorption of nutrients more common and easier to digest. Without the guidance of a doctor, don't listen to hearsay and avoid overeating. You can't eat this and that, it will hinder the absorption of nutrients. You can't eat too much of your favorite food, nor can you eat too much. If the elderly are in good health, they can eat bread and water.
E. be careful of alcohol and tobacco. Smoking less is better than not smoking, especially for the elderly with bronchitis and chronic bronchitis. Old people should not drink sorghum wine. A small amount of yellow rice wine can dispel cold and dampness, promote blood circulation and stimulate appetite, but it is not suitable for excessive drinking. Wine is uncle's pleasure and uncle's worry. It's no use drinking to drown your sorrows. Alcoholism is harmful because it harms the liver and nervous system.
F. Don't abuse tonics. We should make up for the shortcomings, and we should make up for them according to everyone's shortcomings. If you are sick, you must treat it. Not all of them can be summarized by the word "deficiency". It is not uncommon to take tonics too much in clinic, suffer from it and make up the disease by mistake. Supplementing energy can cure diseases, but it can also cause diseases. Use it properly, not falsely. You should seek guidance from a doctor.
③ Life
Living conditions cannot be the same, but it is best for the elderly to live in a house facing south, facing the sun and ventilated and dry. Some people advocate that old people should live alone. This does not mean that they want to live alone in a house, but that they can sleep alone at night, but it also includes that the elderly should be sober and have little desire.
Living with children, the elderly can enjoy family happiness, which has its advantages, because the elderly are most afraid of loneliness. However, children and grandchildren are around their knees and have a large population, which is more complicated and inappropriate.
④ Line
Old people can often take a walk, taking 100 steps after meals, but taking 10000 steps a day depends on the specific situation. Life lies in exercise, but the elderly should look at their own physical strength and enough is enough. Regular activities, steady steps, frequent thinking and slow mental decline. If the elderly are inactive, their tissues and organs will decline, their working ability will be low and their resistance will be poor. However, exercise should not be excessive. It is recorded in Neijing that "long-term vision hurts blood, long-term lying hurts gas, long-term sitting hurts meat, long-term walking hurts tendons and long-term standing hurts bones". Outdoor activities in winter should not be too early to avoid cold, so you can only go out after sunrise.
Clothing, food, shelter and transportation are the four most important things in our life. If the elderly pay attention to it in their daily lives and handle it properly, it will be very helpful to prolong life. But in addition to the laws of daily life, we should pay attention to the emotions of the elderly, because recuperation is also an important aspect of health care. Mental anger and fear can cause changes in autonomic nervous system function, vasoconstriction, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol and decreased immune function. In the past, a medical scientist once said: "All stubbornness, heaviness, anxiety and uneasiness have opened the door to various diseases." The ancients also said: "smile, one less", which shows that one of the main factors affecting people's life span is bad mood. (2) Five "essentials" should be achieved in health preservation.
(1) feel comfortable.
Advocate three pleasures, that is, contentment, helping others and having fun for yourself. A foreign medical scientist once said, "Good health and poor memory will make us live a happier life." My understanding is that bad memories are forget the sorrow and pain. "When you spray happiness perfume on others, there are always a few drops splashing on yourself." This shows that you will be happy if you give people happiness. A research report from the University of Michigan in the United States believes that "loneliness will damage health." In real life, old people are most afraid of loneliness.
Happiness lies in contentment, not in being satisfied with the status quo, but in acknowledging the reality in order to eliminate unnecessary worries. Some people say that contentment is stagnation, and this understanding is one-sided. In my opinion, progress and complaining are the embodiment of two world views, and optimism is the key to fitness.
In the contradiction between the old and the young, the old should clearly admit that the gap between the two generations is objective. If your child doesn't respect you, blame yourself for being spoiled since childhood. The contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law depends on her son's face. Don't force her son to attack from both sides and hinder his career. The average mother-in-law always thinks that her daughter is better than her daughter-in-law, but she doesn't want to think that her daughter is a daughter-in-law and her daughter-in-law is someone else's daughter. It's hard to be confused, not stupid, not deaf and not old.
Help others, have the strength to help others, and you will feel happy. Give people happiness and you will feel happy. If the doctor cures the disease, the patient will be happy and the doctor will be happier.
Seek happiness by yourself, seek happiness by yourself, not yourself. Do what you feel good about, enjoy it, or "enjoy it". Everyone has different interests and doesn't have to learn from others.
2 broad-minded.
Be generous and worry less. Open your mind but don't close it, and ignore non-principled issues. Adults don't care about villains, don't care about temporary gains and losses. Learn from mistakes and learn from them. When you have time to travel, broaden your horizons, and go to nature to broaden your mind, look at the sky, the sea, the mountains and the running water, which will make people open their minds.
③ Have confidence.
Not self-abased, not arrogant, there is a strength and a light. Don't cling to old experience, don't be an old lady, but absorb new things, have confidence in yourself and believe that you can do it well. There must be a golden age in a person's life. He will not regret losing the golden age, but will strive for a second youth and have the confidence to enrich his present situation.
(4) Understanding from diseases.
Lin Zexu has a bad temper. He hung the word "control anger" on the wall to restrain himself. Many people write down their shortcomings in their notebooks and put the methods to overcome them on their desks as their motto.
If you are sick, you should also pay attention to yourself. For example, many elderly people suffer from coronary heart disease. You don't have to worry about getting sick, but you should actively treat them, eat properly, exercise properly, combine work and rest, and get enough sleep. If you know that you have ulceration, you must eat more, eat more, keep warm, save effort and be comfortable.
We should treat fame and fortune correctly.
The motivation of hard work is not fame and fortune. To be famous, you must be modest. If you don't work hard, you will envy the fame and benefits of others. You can encourage yourself to work hard. Don't be jealous because of jealousy, and don't be greedy by any means. "Fame and fortune are empty" is a Buddhist thought, but it is unrealistic. You won't get emptiness and sadness if you fight for fame and gain by hook or by crook, but you will be humiliated if you get it.
(3) the elderly should do five "no"
(1) Don't be overjoyed-be happy and sad.
Don't be angry-anger hurts the liver.
(3) Don't be unhappy-sad spleen.
4 don't be negative and pessimistic-heartbreaking.
Don't try to be brave, you should do your best.
Due to the development of society and the improvement of people's health knowledge and living standards, people's average life expectancy has also increased accordingly, and there are more and more elderly people. According to the statistics of Shanghai 1990, the number of elderly people over 60 has accounted for 14%, with 550,000 elderly people over 70 and 99 elderly people over 100. There are also six centenarians in Changning District. Shanghai has become an aging city, the so-called people. If everyone can pay attention to the way of keeping in good health, then I hope everyone can move towards 100.
