However, after the age of 55, the most important thing is to pay attention to your body, because with the growth of age, people's physical function begins to decline. If you don't take good care of it, your body will have various problems, such as insomnia, constipation, and four highs (high uric acid, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, and hypertension). So, after 55, you should worry less and spend more time taking care of your health, you know.
However, many people want to take "shortcuts" or look for "remedies", hoping to achieve the goal of health and longevity, but there is no shortcut to do anything. As long as they develop good living and eating habits, they can help them live a long and healthy life.
Do these five things well in life and add points for health and longevity:
First, keep a good attitude.
A good attitude is more important than anything else. Over 55 years old, you should learn to "put yourself down", take your time, don't worry, don't get angry, learn to control your emotions and try to keep yourself calm.
Because you are in a good mood, your body will secrete a substance called dopamine, which can protect the endocrine system, enhance immunity and make your body healthier.
Second, proper exercise.
Exercise has always been a guarantee of good health. After middle age, people should not sit still and wait for death, but must exercise properly. Because exercise can improve metabolism, promote blood circulation in the body, enhance resistance, improve physical fitness, less illness, the body will naturally be healthier, and it will be farther away from longevity. You can do physical exercise according to your physical condition. Good sports include mountaineering, breathing, practicing Tai Chi, swimming, table tennis, badminton and kicking shuttlecock for more than 30 minutes every day.
If you have the conditions, I also suggest that you can travel more. Tourism is also a good condition for good health, which can relax body and mind, broaden horizons and relieve stress.
Third, breathing and exhaling
Breathing and exhaling is a traditional Taoist health-preserving method, and breathing and exhaling is a method to achieve health care through abdominal breathing. The specific methods are: exhale through the mouth while the stomach is inward; Inhale through the nose and bulge out through the abdomen. Take a deep breath first, then inhale and hold your breath for 20 seconds, then exhale. Repeat 100 times.
Abdominal breathing is equivalent to giving a deep massage to the abdomen, which can promote intestinal peristalsis, promote food digestion and absorption, and improve constipation and thin abdomen.
In addition, breathing and breathing every day can improve the three highs, maintain the cardiovascular system and make the body healthier and healthier.
Fourth, have a good sleep.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that you can sleep, eat and live a long life. Sleep is very important for everyone.
Good sleep quality is the cornerstone of health and longevity. For the elderly, it is even more important to have a good sleep. They can conform to the laws of nature and arrange their schedules reasonably. Go to bed early and get up early, and go to sleep before 1 1 every night.
Every noon, you can also take a nap. For middle-aged and elderly people, it can supplement sleep and is good for the body.
Fifth, soak your feet more.
Since ancient times, there have been methods of soaking feet to keep fit. Many people have developed the habit of soaking their feet every night, which really has a very good effect on improving one's physique. Soaking feet before going to bed can improve the quality of sleep; If you catch a cold and soak your feet, you will sweat all over. Is it cold or not? Cold hands and feet can accelerate blood circulation, enhance yang and warm the body; People with heavy moisture soak their feet, which helps to dispel cold and dehumidification. It can be seen that soaking feet has many benefits. I hope you can also get into the good habit of soaking your feet every day.
Everyone has the right to pursue longevity. As long as you can make more efforts in your life, I believe your health will give you the best return.
