But the sisters around her always advised her not to make herself too tired: "Too much exercise will hurt your health!" " "
Although her exercise is ok, but the intensity is not big, will it also hurt her health? With questions, Aunt Xu consulted the doctor.
Exercise can improve human immunity and promote metabolism, which is of great significance to maintaining good health. For middle-aged and elderly people, it is particularly important to keep proper exercise.
Exercise helps to improve bone health. The loss of bone calcium in middle-aged and elderly people is serious, and the amount absorbed by drugs and food supplements is limited. Outdoor exercise can supplement vitamin D in the sun and promote the increase of bone density.
The immunity of middle-aged and elderly people will decline in different degrees because of their age. Exercise can improve the decreased immunity and better maintain the degraded organ function. We often see old people in their sixties and seventies. They never lose sight of young people in climbing mountains, riding bicycles and playing ball games, thanks to long-term exercise.
The "three highs" population accounts for a high proportion of middle-aged and elderly people, and there are also many corresponding cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The main cause of this disease is the metabolic problem of the body. Taking medicine all the year round should be controllable and the possibility of cure is relatively low. But if you add exercise, you can artificially strengthen the body's metabolic function and effectively control the development of diseases.
As the saying goes: "Money is hard to buy old people to be thin". Being thin can reduce the burden of various organs of middle-aged and elderly people and prolong life. Exercise can help middle-aged and elderly people maintain their weight and control their physical condition at a healthy level. It is a good way to keep fit.
The benefits of exercise are numerous, but excessive exercise is counterproductive.
Excessive exercise can hurt your knees, such as running. Middle-aged and elderly people can exercise by jogging or walking. However, it is not recommended to run for a long time, because the weight has a great influence on the knees and the bones are easily injured.
Excessive exercise can lead to excessive sweating. Proper detoxification is a good thing, but excessive sweating is easy to hurt body fluids, which will lead to an increase in blood pressure after a long time. Moreover, fatigue caused by excessive exercise will reduce the body's immunity and lead to other diseases.
It is safe for middle-aged and elderly people to do aerobic exercise 1~2 hours a day, which can be persisted for a long time. Excessive exercise is not advisable.
It is said that the most important thing for middle-aged and elderly people in the family is all kinds of drugs. For colds, vitamins, antihypertensive drugs, quick-acting drugs, and drugs that can be thought of to prevent various diseases.
Seriously, all drugs should be taken under the guidance of a doctor, but some elderly people find it troublesome to see a doctor all the time, so they will prescribe according to their own experience and guidance. Aside from the side effects of drugs, when several drugs are put together, it is easy to have adverse reactions, which non-professionals can't see from the instructions.
Some middle-aged and elderly people regard health care products as a panacea. No matter where you feel uncomfortable, as long as you eat health care products, everything will be fine. I don't know that many serious illnesses were discovered in this state of "everything is fine". The problem of health care products has also aroused heated discussion in society. Most of them are over-publicized by businesses for the benefit, so they must make a good choice.
Drugs are used to treat diseases. If any part of your body is sick, you should take medicine to treat it accordingly. But this does not mean that the symptoms of headache and brain fever can be solved by drugs.
For example, some middle-aged and elderly people have poor sleep, insomnia at night and headache and dizziness the next day. At this time, what the body needs is rest. If you take some medicine to relieve symptoms, it will cover up your physical problems and easily lead to major diseases.
Middle-aged and elderly people have a lot of low back pain, which is caused by bone aging and organ degradation. We should find the cause and prescribe the right medicine. But many middle-aged and elderly people don't care about drugs such as calcium supplementation and kidney supplementation. They just want to take painkillers. You may feel better after taking medicine, but the harm of medicine to your body is intangible.
But painkillers can stimulate the stomach and hurt the liver, and long-term use will produce serious adverse reactions. When the pain is unbearable, take one tablet to relieve the pain, and don't eat more. Although painkillers have great side effects, they account for a considerable proportion in the medicine boxes of middle-aged and elderly people.
In short, you only take medicine when you are sick, but it is usually based on conditioning, and try to avoid excessive harm to the body. Although drugs can relieve symptoms, they are not omnipotent. Only by long-term exercise, scientific diet and regular life can we maintain a healthy body.
With the continuous improvement of social living standards, many families have lived a well-off life and have more detailed requirements for diet. In order to pursue a healthy lifestyle, many middle-aged and elderly people have entered a strange circle of "lightness". They don't eat meat or oil. They only eat vegetarian food and eat very little.
There is a 73-year-old lady. Her hair is white, there is no black hair, her face is yellow and white, and she looks very depressed. Through the examination, the doctor found that there were no major problems in her organs and blood, and she could not find the cause of her fatigue for the time being.
After further understanding, I found that she has been a vegetarian for 6 years, and she has controlled the amount of food she eats every meal. She hasn't eaten dinner at all for two years! A typical deficiency of qi and blood caused by malnutrition needs to be adjusted to return to normal.
At the doctor's suggestion, she began to eat high-quality protein such as meat and shrimp, and recuperated for more than three months. The old lady is full of energy. I thought I was sick, but I didn't take medicine, so I ate my energy back by eating.
Examples like this are not difficult to see among middle-aged and elderly people. Because hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia are common in this part of the population, many people are required to have a light diet. This does not mean that you can't eat "good things" in the future, but that you should pay attention to controlling the amount when eating, and don't eat too much, so as not to bring greater burden to the kidneys.
In addition, three meals a day is a living habit left by our ancestors, and China people's bodies have adapted to this eating rhythm. As middle-aged and elderly people who need to maintain blood sugar balance, it is most important to maintain blood sugar stability. Therefore, both breakfast and dinner are equally important to the human body. Excessive dieting can cause malnutrition and even serious consequences.
1. A balanced diet is the primary demand of health care for middle-aged and elderly people.
"Food is the most important thing for the people". For middle-aged and elderly people, the scientific diet directly affects their health. A balanced diet requires a variety of diets: the types of food should be rich, and the varieties of each type of food should be different.
In other words, the diet of middle-aged and elderly people needs to eat as many kinds of food as possible on the basis of controlling the total amount. Food should contain various nutrients, such as carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. It is possible to eat enough 20 kinds of food every day as long as you master the method.
2. Maintain a healthy and stable lifestyle.
The life of middle-aged and elderly people must be regular, such as regular rest, regular eating, regular exercise and so on. These healthy living rules will keep the body in a stable state, so that the internal environment will not be disordered due to excessive tension and environmental changes. This is an important factor to ensure the health of middle-aged and elderly people.
3. Find something that interests you.
Middle-aged and elderly people should pay special attention to mental health, because it is closely related to physical health. Only when middle-aged and elderly people have their own interests can they focus on the right place, instead of staring at physical discomfort and being nervous every day.
When energy is immersed in time, time will be more pleasant and meaningful, and the body will naturally maintain a healthier state.
In order to keep healthy, in addition to moderate maintenance, we should also pay attention to balanced diet, life rules, interest cultivation and other beneficial methods for middle-aged and elderly people. These can help middle-aged and elderly people improve their quality of life in their later years and keep healthy.
