Reminder: If people over 70 want to be healthy, they still need to avoid these four "health misunderstandings".
1, vegetarian, not meat
Most elderly people suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and chronic metabolic diseases. In order to keep healthy, they choose to eat only vegetables instead of meat.
Although it is better for the elderly to lose weight, such a lifestyle is unhealthy, and thinness can also lead to other diseases. The pursuit of thinness is good health and well-proportioned, rather than just eating vegetarian food without meat.
If you only eat vegetarian food, it will be harmful to your health. As we all know, there are many vegetarians in the United States, especially those who have no distractions in middle age, but it won't be long before your body will have some diseases, especially anemia and low blood pressure.
Most old people only eat vegetables, not meat. After a few years, there will be some malnutrition, loose facial skin, dry hair and hair loss.
Vegetables are rich in vitamins and plant fiber, and the gastrointestinal function of the elderly is relatively fragile. Long-term vegetarianism will make them more likely to get gastrointestinal diseases.
Therefore, it is suggested that after the age of 70, we should adhere to a reasonable diet, mix meat and vegetables, and replenish nutrition for the body in time, so that the body can be healthier and live longer.
2, the morning exercise time is too early
Most elderly people get up early in the morning, and morning exercise has become a new trend of healthy life. Although doing morning exercises is good for your health, it is a wrong choice to do it on the road.
Health experts suggest that the elderly are more likely to induce other diseases when doing morning exercises on the road, mainly because of the large traffic volume on the road, poor air quality, and the existence of automobile exhaust, sulfur dioxide and PM2.5 content.
Therefore, the elderly who do morning exercises on the road are more likely to absorb pollutants in the air. It is best to choose a place with fresh air for exercise. Lawn with more trees has more oxygen and less air pollution, which is beneficial to health and can also relieve visual fatigue.
3. Take health care products for a long time
According to the latest survey data, with the improvement of living standards, most elderly people begin to take health care products to bring health care to their bodies, but there are also many drugs with mixed quality in the hot health care products market.
In order to improve their personal interests, some black-hearted businesses will add some unknown substances such as hormones to health care products. Some health care products are strictly investigated by the state, and some even contain illegal drugs.
As we all know, health care products can't replace drugs. After listening to the salesman's advertisement, the elderly will choose to buy in large quantities, or even sell all their houses, and choose to stock up.
Old people should improve their ability to distinguish right from wrong according to the eyes of young people, and don't easily listen to the efficacy of online health care products. Long-term use may increase the burden on the body.
4. Long-term use of Chinese herbal medicines
Most elderly people have a soft spot for Chinese herbal medicine, and Chinese medicine has a long history and good curative effect in China. But for your own health, you must choose to eat some suitable Chinese herbal medicines. Don't believe that all Chinese herbal medicines are good for your health.
For some diseases in the body, it is not recommended to blindly rely on traditional Chinese medicine, especially chronic metabolic diseases and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Choosing western medicine treatment is more effective.
When there are some deviation problems in the body, we should go to the hospital in time to find out the reasons, and take medication according to the physical condition and the cause of the disease, which can relieve the symptoms in a short time so as not to aggravate the development of the disease.
To sum up, if the elderly want to live a long and healthy life, they must adhere to scientific living habits, avoid "shocking people" in health care, and prevent physical damage, which is more conducive to health care and longevity.

What behaviors can't I do when I am old?
1, vicious staying up late
With the increase of age, the cellular function of the elderly will gradually decline when they reach a certain age, so the body's resistance and immunity will gradually decline, and it is easier to proliferate other diseases.
Staying up late has become a social norm. With the popularity of electronic products, the elderly are also accustomed to playing mobile phones and watching computers before going to bed. It's easy to miss the best sleep time when playing. Staying up late for a long time will not only lead to the decline of sleep quality, but also make the physical quality of the elderly worse.
Slow metabolism, slow blood circulation and unstable qi and blood have adverse effects on health.
2, overeating
According to medical data, more than 70% of the elderly have weak gastrointestinal function. If they overeat as they did when they were young, it will not only increase the burden of gastrointestinal digestion, but also cause insufficient nutrient absorption.
The accumulation of fatty substances in the body increases the burden on the body and makes the chronic three high diseases more and more serious. Therefore, I suggest you keep a light diet, chew slowly for three meals a day and avoid overeating.
3, sedentary and not exercising
Relatively speaking, the elderly are old, their legs and feet are clumsy, they don't like to move, and they like to lie at home. Lying down for a long time will make their bodies lack exercise and easy to be in a sub-health state.
Most elderly people lie down when they are old, which makes it easier to reduce trouble. Actually, it's not. Old people with poor legs and feet should choose appropriate exercise methods according to their physical condition.
Maintaining aerobic exercise is more conducive to improving metabolism and blood circulation speed, discharging toxins and metabolites for the body in time and reducing the burden.
Moreover, it can enhance the cardiopulmonary function of the elderly during exercise, improve the pumping ability and endurance of the heart, enhance vital capacity, and help exhale garbage toxins from the respiratory system and lungs.
4. Smoking and drinking
Alcohol and tobacco have become social necessities. In fact, for male friends, business cooperation and friends gathering are both indispensable. Cigarettes and alcohol have become golden partners in social conversation.
The smoke emitted by cigarette burning at high temperature will follow the respiratory system into the blood circulation, which will not only damage the respiratory system and lungs, but also affect the liver.
As a result, blood concentration becomes more viscous, blood lipids and blood pressure are difficult to control, and long-term drinking will cause damage to gastrointestinal mucosa. More than 90% of alcoholic substances need to be decomposed by the liver. Long-term drinking is more likely to cause fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis and even liver cancer, which will adversely affect the life span of the elderly.
Therefore, in order to be healthy, we must first give up smoking and drinking and get rid of bad habits in life, which will help to prolong life.
