Sun Simiao pointed out in "Wings of a Thousand Daughters" that "after 50 years old, a person's yang is failing, which is not conducive to the sky, his heart gradually retreats, he forgets the past, loses the future, is lazy in planning and awarding prizes, is dissatisfied, is unstable in seeing and hearing ... he cares nothing, is bored in his heart, forgetful and irritable, has a changeable temperament, eats and drinks tasteless, and is restless. "Due to the changes in physiological functions, the psychology and emotions of the elderly are abnormal, and it is easy to produce some negative and pessimistic psychology. In addition, if you work hard and relax more, you will inevitably suffer from common diseases of the elderly. To this end, some health preservation methods are proposed for elderly friends.

The healthy way of the elderly-less anger

Anger is the enemy of the health of the elderly. Neijing says that "all diseases are born of qi", "anger is born of qi" and "anger is harmful to the liver". Anger will hinder people's popularity, lead to qi stagnation, and thus lead to various diseases, especially cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so the elderly should abstain from qi.

-Decreased desire

Ancient health experts believed that abstinence from desire, indifference and nothingness are all healthy qi and physical and mental health. If you want to cultivate your mind and pursue fame and fortune, you will disorder your qi and easily lead to diseases of qi stagnation and blood stasis.

-There's less color

Anyone who lives a long life regards "distant wife" as one of his experiences. Because overwork will hurt the kidney, and kidney qi injury will make people aging. Young people get old before they get old. What's more, the elderly are the body of declining yang, so it is more appropriate to use less color or forbidden color to preserve the essence.

-Speak less.

"It hurts to talk too much." Talking too much, uneven breath, easy to hurt lung qi and middle qi. Qi is closely related to essence and spirit. When qi gathers, it is sufficient, and when it is sufficient, it is happy. Therefore, less words can gather energy and produce essence, and essence can concentrate. In addition, the old man talked too much and made mistakes. Instead of pleasing his children and grandchildren, he turned joy into worry.

-Eat less.

Spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow and the source of systemic nutrition intake. Don't drink too much, too much will make it difficult for you to eat. If the long-term diet is thick and delicious, and the intake exceeds the body's needs, it will form food stagnation, qi stagnation, phlegm and blood stasis. Therefore, Chinese medicine advocates "not to eat with hunger, but not to be satisfied." Eating less spleen is easy to grind and transport, which can make the rushing qi fill the muscle marrow, which is beneficial to health and longevity.

-Stay down.

Sleep is an important factor of health. Old people have a good habit of lying down, but they should also be temperate. It hurts to lie down for a long time. If you stay in bed for a long time, it will damage the yang. When people's yang is not extended, the activity ability of the body will decrease, and the digestive function of the spleen and stomach will also weaken. Therefore, it is better for the elderly to move more and lie less.

-Sit down.

Don't sit too much, it will damage your muscles. Some elderly people have nothing to do at home, indulge in TV and playing cards, and go out by car without walking, which will cause blood stasis, ecchymosis, bruising and even venous thrombosis. Therefore, the elderly can't sit for a long time, they can often walk, move their limbs and keep their blood vessels open.
