A big brother complained to Huazi that after he turned 50, he felt that he was old and could not do many things. Huazi told him that life, old age, illness and death are natural laws, and we should understand and accept them, but although aging cannot be reversed, it can be delayed.
Human aging is mainly easy to occur in 5 aspects, as long as we do targeted conditioning, we can maintain a longer youthful state. Although it is impossible to "rejuvenate and rejuvenate", you can make yourself "old and strong" and improve your quality of life.
First, to prevent "legs before aging"
As the saying goes, "The old roots of the tree wither first, and the old legs of the people first grow old." After the human body enters old age, the lower limbs are prone to problems, affecting the body's ability to move. The lack of exercise will lead to problems in the body's cardiovascular system, digestive system, nervous system, etc., affecting the quality of life.
The main reason for the "leg aging first" situation is degenerative osteoarthritis. It mainly occurs in the knee joint, hip joint, cervical spine, lumbar spine, etc. that need to bear weight and have a large amount of movement. Because of long-term wear and tear, the degree of wear of joint cartilage is greater than its own repair ability.
Therefore, after the age of 50, you should pay attention to controlling your weight and not overexerting to avoid damage to bones and joints. Eat more calcium-containing foods on your diet to avoid bone loss. Pay attention to protein supplementation, and exercise the leg muscles, so that the muscles provide more support, and avoid sprains or falls due to the decline in athletic ability, weakening the balance.
Second, protect the teeth and prevent aging
After people are old, they are prone to oral problems, gums shrink and infect, and teeth appear loose and fall out, affecting eating. Therefore, people who are over 50 years old must pay attention to dental health. Brush your teeth every morning and evening, rinse your mouth after meals, and use floss to clean up food scraps between your teeth.
However, it should be noted that toothbrushes and flosses can only clean the surface of the teeth, but cannot clean up the plaque that enters the gums. Therefore, it is also necessary to do a dental examination every year, if the dental calculus is serious, it is necessary to clean the teeth and remove it, which can avoid further aggravation of oral problems.
Third, the blood vessels are really old
"The life of blood vessels is the life of people", many people reach old age, the function of body organs is normal, but the blood vessels have atherosclerosis, narrowing, or blockage, resulting in blood supply disorders in important organs such as the brain, heart and brain, kidneys, which is a threat to life.
Atherosclerosis, essentially blood vessel aging, smoking, and hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and other "three highs", will accelerate the process of vascular aging. As long as you quit smoking and use drugs to control the "three highs", you can delay the speed of atherosclerosis of blood vessels and keep blood vessels in a young state.
Fourth, more moisturizing can prevent skin aging
After the age of 50, the collagen content in the skin gradually decreases, and the skin begins to become loose and wrinkles appear. Moreover, the decline in hormone levels will reduce the secretion of skin oil and weaken the skin barrier. It is easy to have dry skin, eczema, itching and other problems. Wrinkles are related to aging, medicine can only cure the disease, can not cure the elderly, but skin diseases can be prevented.
Eczema is a common skin problem in the elderly and is called "eczema" because of symptoms of exudation, rather than the onset of "wetness". In fact, eczema is because the skin is too dry, the skin barrier appears tiny cracks, pathogens invade the inside of the skin, resulting in allergies, infections, the symptoms appear.
After the age of 50, pay attention to skin moisturizing, use more non-irritating moisturizers, and apply thickly and frequently, which can avoid dry skin, itching, and even cure mild eczema.
Fifth, the digestive system can not eat "soft rice"
As the human body ages, digestive function declines. Many people think that drinking more porridge and eating noodles can nourish the stomach, which is a wrong perception. After a long time of boiling, the food that becomes soft and rotten, although it is easy to digest, but the human organs will "use it in and out", and too soft and rotten food will make the function of the digestive tract itself worse.
When gastrointestinal diseases occur, you can eat "soft rice" to maintain gastrointestinal function in a short period of time, but more often, you need to consume a normal diet with enough dietary fiber to maintain normal digestive function and prevent constipation.
To sum up, whether male or female, 50 years old is a "watershed" for entering the old age stage. Protection and conditioning for the 5 aspects of easy aging can delay aging, prevent the emergence of serious diseases, and ensure the quality of life after old age.
