What can the elderly do for health care?
Health care for the elderly can be achieved in many ways. As long as the method is appropriate and suitable for your specific situation, you can generally achieve the expected goal. In daily life, the elderly don't have to work hard, as long as they insist on it often, the effect is still good. So, what can the elderly do for health care?

(5) Turn your eyes more: the elderly have been using their eyes for a long time, so pay attention to turning their eyes, and then close their eyes and sit still for a few minutes. When they open their eyes again, they will feel their eyes shine. Rotating the eyeball often can exercise the eye muscles and protect the eyes.
