1, reduce blood pressure and lipid, and do not eat oil and salt.
Many people know that eating too much oil and salt will increase the risk of hyperlipidemia and hypertension. Therefore, many elderly people choose not to eat oil and salt, or not to eat at all. If you don't eat cooking oil at all, it will also lead to nutritional deficiency. And not eating salt at all will lead to insufficient sodium intake. Therefore, the minimum daily edible oil is controlled at about 25g, and the salt content is less than 6g.
The earlier you do morning exercises, the better.
Old people should not do morning exercises before 6 o'clock in summer, even later in winter. They can only do morning exercises when the sun comes out. Because many elderly people don't sleep well, most of them get up early and even do morning exercises before 6 o'clock, thinking that the earlier they exercise, the better.
Because a large amount of carbon dioxide has accumulated in the air before 6 o'clock in the morning, plants have not fully photosynthesized, and there is less fresh oxygen in the air. It is easy to cause joint diseases, colds and sudden cardiovascular diseases.
3. People are old and dissatisfied with old age.
Many old people feel that they are old, strong and have worked hard, and they are sick because of their high work. Some old people think they are in good health, so they do high-intensity running, playing ball, swimming, climbing mountains and other sports, resulting in fractures and muscle injuries. With the growth of age, the body will get worse day by day, and the function of bones and muscles will also weaken. To do what you can, you can choose walking and Tai Ji Chuan to exercise yourself.
The more calcium supplements, the better.
With the increase of age, the body's calcium will also be lacking. Therefore, many elderly people think that calcium supplementation can make bones strong, so they supplement calcium in large quantities, thinking that the more they supplement, the more they absorb. The daily calcium intake of the elderly over 60 years old should not exceed 1000 mg. If calcium exceeds the body's needs, it will have an impact on health and cause various diseases. The best way is to exercise moderately, reduce bone loss, eat more dairy products and quit smoking.
5. Excessive frugality
Old people all advocate frugality and think that leftovers can continue to be eaten as long as they don't go moldy and spoiled. Some old people will also remove some moldy parts and leave the moldy parts to eat. It is best to eat leftovers in six hours and in one day.
Because leftovers are easy to breed bacteria, leading to gastroenteritis. Repeatedly heated overnight meals contain more nitrite, which can cause cancer. Moldy food is even more inedible, and aflatoxin produced in it can cause acute poisoning and even death.
6. Regularly "flush blood vessels" to prevent stroke.
In order to prevent brain death, many elderly people choose infusion in early spring and autumn, which are two seasons with high incidence of brain death, thinking that infusion can prevent thrombosis and wash away blood lipids in blood vessels. To prevent brain death, we should adhere to the combination of work and rest, intervene according to the cause, and don't be superstitious about health products.
7. Filling teeth when you are old is a waste.
It is normal to lose teeth when you are old, so most people will not waste money on filling or planting teeth. If the teeth are missing, it will lead to the decline of chewing function and increase the burden on the stomach. If teeth are missing, they should be repaired in time.
8, taking tonic can live longer.
With the growth of age, many elderly people will take a lot of tonics. If you take tonics indiscriminately regardless of your constitution and symptoms, it may cause some diseases. It is recommended to have a balanced diet without extra supplements.
