In everyone's idea, walking after meals can live for 99 years. However, this is actually very delicate. You can do proper exercise after meals, and the way you walk is also very important. When the elderly are over 50 years old, the function of their knees will deteriorate. It is not a good thing for the elderly if they insist on walking every day with worn knees. Besides walking, it will be better if the elderly can do the following three things.
One: Drink plenty of water. Drinking water has a great influence on the human body. Studies show that as an adult, you should drink at least eight glasses of water every day, or at least 2L. Only in this way can we meet the basic needs of the human body. Old people actually need to drink more water. This can speed up the body's metabolism and stimulate vitality. Older people who definitely drink water tend to look healthier than those who can drink eight glasses of water a day and those who don't drink much.
Drinking a glass of water when getting up every morning can speed up the peristalsis of the stomach. And after a night's sleep, some garbage in the body will be excreted with drinking water. Especially the stomach of the elderly, drink warm water when drinking water. This is also a kind of protection for the stomach of the elderly.
There are actually many tricks for drinking water. Old people can drink some herbal or scented tea water. For the elderly with different constitutions, you can drink different kinds of water. Therefore, this is a very important point for the elderly. Drinking more water is the premise of ensuring good health.
Two: good eating habits In addition to drinking more water, the elderly also need to maintain good eating habits. Because the spleen and stomach of the elderly are actually particularly fragile, special attention should be paid to diet. Because of digestive problems, the elderly should pay attention to eat more digestible food when eating, not indigestible food. Like millet porridge and pasta, these foods are easy to digest and more suitable for the elderly.
Old people also need to pay special attention not to overeat. In daily diet, eat less and eat more meals. This is because the digestive system of the elderly is not as good as that of ordinary people. Therefore, when eating, you can't eat too much at once. If you eat too much at once, it is likely to increase the burden on the stomach and lead to indigestion. It is precisely because of this that we should pay special attention to this in our daily eating habits.
One more thing, the elderly should eat less spicy and greasy things. Because of spicy and greasy food, it is particularly irritating to the stomach. Therefore, eating spicy and greasy food often will increase the gastrointestinal burden of the elderly. Old people should eat something light in their diet.
Three: Soaking feet is a very healthy lifestyle. Old people often soak their feet, which can help sweat and accelerate metabolism. There are many benefits of soaking feet, such as dredging meridians, expelling cold and promoting blood circulation in legs. Soaking feet is also a very particular thing. First of all, the water temperature of soaking feet should not be too high. If it is too high, it will be very irritating to the skin. Secondly, you should pay attention to controlling the time when soaking your feet. The foot bath time should not be too long, and the best foot bath time is generally around 15-20 minutes. This time, just a little sweaty.
When soaking feet, you need to add some corresponding herbs, which makes it easier to dredge the meridians. Adding some medicinal materials for promoting blood circulation in foot bath water will easily promote blood circulation. But people with weak spleen and stomach are not suitable for soaking feet. Therefore, before choosing foot bath as a health care method, you should clearly understand your physical condition. Avoid blindly soaking feet and causing physical injury.
To sum up, I think the elderly need to drink more water, soak their feet and pay attention to good eating habits besides walking. Only by maintaining good living and working habits can the elderly maintain longevity and health. The lifestyle of the elderly is closely related to daily life. Only by paying more attention in daily life can we have a better lifestyle. Of course, everything should be measured, and only moderate exercise and diet can keep you healthy.
