With the continuous growth of age, longevity has become the goal pursued by most elderly people in their later years. However, because everyone's lifestyle is different and their attention to health care is different, not many people can really live a long life.
If you want to live a long life, the key is to keep healthy. The better the physical condition, the higher the probability of longevity.
So, what should be done to prolong life as much as possible? What's the secret?
1, resolutely do not touch "overnight dishes"
In our daily life, we often encounter situations where we can't finish cooking. Some people think it doesn't matter, so they should throw out the leftovers. Some people think it's a pity to throw out the leftovers, so they can still eat the next hot meal and put it in the refrigerator. This seems to be a sign of thrift, but if it is not handled properly, it will have an impact on health.
Leftovers are the most taboo for staying overnight. Even in the refrigerator, it will be contaminated by microorganisms. If you eat contaminated "overnight dishes", bacteria will enter the stomach, which will naturally affect the health of the stomach, reduce the digestion and absorption capacity, and be harmful to the body.
Therefore, it is recommended that you control the amount of ingredients when cooking. If you cook too much, you should dispose of it before dinner as much as possible and avoid eating overnight meals to maintain good gastrointestinal health.
2. The diet is mainly light.
After entering old age, all aspects of human functions will decline, especially digestion and metabolism. If you usually eat too greasy, or high in salt and sugar, the burden of metabolic function will increase, which will inevitably be detrimental to health in the long run.
It is suggested that elderly friends should give priority to a light diet and avoid foods with high salt, high sugar, high fat and strong irritation as much as possible to ensure the normal operation of the stomach and reduce the burden on organs, so as to better maintain health and maintain posture.
Step 3 go to bed early
It is not difficult to find that most elderly people get up early in the morning, usually at four or five o'clock. This is because, with the aging of people, the time of deep sleep will gradually decrease, and the sleep cycle of the elderly will be shortened, so they will show a state of early awakening, but as long as they sleep for 7 to 8 hours every day, their health will not be affected.
As we all know, sleep is closely related to human health. Poor sleep quality and frequent lack will affect the normal operation of the function. Therefore, considering that the elderly get up early in the morning, in order to ensure adequate sleep for 7 to 8 hours, the elderly must fall asleep before 9 pm, so as to ensure adequate sleep and better maintain their health.
Step 4 keep exercising
Many elderly people have the habit of doing morning exercises, which is actually a great practice. Keeping the habit of exercise for a long time can not only activate the motor function of human body, strengthen muscles and bones, but also keep the circulatory function at a good level. The better the overall mental state of the elderly, the greater the probability of longevity.
It is suggested that all elderly friends choose suitable exercises according to their physical conditions, such as jogging, aerobics and other moderate-intensity exercises, which are very suitable for the elderly.
5. Keep a good attitude.
If you want to live a long and healthy life, your mentality is also very important. The pace of life in contemporary society is fast, everyone will have a certain degree of pressure, and it is natural for emotions to fluctuate. But if you don't know how to deal with this situation and can't find an outlet to vent, emotional problems will affect your health.
It is suggested that old friends should be less exposed to information about natural and man-made disasters, watch more TV programs that make people feel happy, or take part in activities that interest them, solve unsatisfactory things in time, keep emotional stability at all times, and face life with an optimistic attitude, which is more conducive to good health.
It can be seen that staying healthy is the key to longevity. There are many ways to keep healthy. How many did you make?
