Get into the habit of drinking water after getting up in the morning
After washing in the morning, you need to drink about 40% more warm water. This habit is not only for the elderly, but also for the young. Because the human body rested all night. Most of the water in the body is consumed. At this time, the human body is in a state of serious water shortage. At this time, you need a cup of warm water, which can not only supplement the water in the human body, but also promote the digestion of the stomach, thus avoiding constipation. The benefits of drinking a glass of water in the morning go far beyond preventing constipation. It can also reduce blood consistency and promote blood circulation in the body.
Regarding drinking water in the morning, I usually see comments like this: Because there is no time to boil water, can we just drink juice, drinks and coffee instead? Because the main ingredient of these drinks is also water, can they also play a role in replenishing water?
Although these drinks contain a certain amount of water, they can't directly replace water, because they can't provide the water needed by the human body in time, and they contain a certain amount of sugar and electrolyte, which will stimulate the human stomach and make it digest and absorb, which is not conducive to human health in the long run.
Be sure to eat breakfast to ensure nutrition in the morning.
Early morning usually belongs to a fast-paced lifestyle, which leads some office workers to develop the habit of skipping breakfast. It will not bring serious harm to the body in a short time, but as time goes by, if you don't eat breakfast, your stomach will secrete a lot of gastric acid on an empty stomach, which will stimulate the gastric mucosa, thus causing gastritis and even gastric cancer.
Therefore, people who want to live a long and healthy life must form the habit of eating breakfast. However, breakfast is more than just filling your stomach. You must pay attention to the intake of nutrition, try to diversify your breakfast and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, bean products, coarse grains and eggs (high-protein food).
Exercise properly after meals 1 hour.
For office workers, there may not be enough time for exercise in the morning, but for retired people, there is plenty of time in the morning, and proper exercise can be carried out after meals 1 hour. Proper exercise in the morning can promote the blood pressure circulation in the body, improve the blood supply problem of the human body, and thus reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and heart disease; Moreover, proper exercise for the elderly in the morning can also prevent muscle atrophy, promote bone health and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
Therefore, for retired people, health is the primary task now, but to ensure good health, we need to start from the small things around us. After reading what needs to be done, what mistakes can't be made in front of health?
Don't take medicine after you feel unwell.
I believe many people have this habit in their daily life. When they feel unwell, the first thing to do is not to go to the hospital for examination, but to rummage through the medicine cabinet at home to find the medicine suitable for their symptoms. Even some people don't feel unwell, but they still like to grow some health products and Chinese herbal medicines to "keep fit". I don't know that "three-point poison as medicine" can not only achieve the effect of health preservation, but also cause certain damage to the body. For example, Akebia Akebia, Radix Aristolochiae, Radix Stephaniae Tetrandrae and other traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, if used improperly, will cause nephrotoxicity and carcinogenicity, so the National Pharmacopoeia has banned the use of these drugs.
Have the habit of smoking and drinking for a long time
The harm caused by long-term smoking and drinking is obvious to all. Long-term smoking will often cough, which will seriously lead to lung disease. If you still can't quit smoking in time after lung problems, it may cause lung cancer; Alcoholic hepatitis and fatty liver are inevitable for long-term drinkers, and the risk of cardiovascular disease is relatively higher for long-term drinkers than for non-drinkers.
Conclusion: From the above, you should find that it is not difficult for the elderly to have a healthy body. The difficulty is that even some small details are not what most people can do.
