Ms. Wu, 45, has been a nanny for six years and has cared for three elderly people. She found a strange phenomenon, that is, the old people who hired nannies were older and had a better mentality. The oldest person she has cared for is 98 years old, and 98 years old is already the highest life for a person.
Why do old people who hire nannies live so long? Ms. Wu is a woman who loves to use her brain, she analyzed it and summarized five reasons.
First, the living habits of these elderly people are more regular,
Ms. Wu has cared for three elderly people, the oldest is 98 years old, and the youngest is also 82 years old. She found that these three old people have a common feature, that is, life is regular. What time to sleep, what time to get up, what time to go outdoors, there are more regular times to arrange.
Like ms. Wu's care of the 98-year-old man, is a grandfather, although he is 98 years old, but sleep better, after getting up, the first thing is not to sit indoors and wait for breakfast, but to ask Ms. Wu to push him to the balcony, let him breathe fresh air, he usually gets up at 8 o'clock.
On the balcony, there were potted plants he planted, and he would water them and then watch them for a while, or through the balcony, watching the flow of people coming and going on the road. The activity lasts about half an hour, and then goes back to the house for breakfast, almost every day.
Second, these old people have a better mentality and are relatively peaceful
Ms. Wu found that the three elderly people she took care of were all in a better state of mind and were very peaceful.
Like the 98-year-old man ms. Wu took care of, Ms. Wu said that the old man's mentality was really quite peaceful, and in the two years she took care of the old man, she never found that the old man was angry. Two years is not short, Ms. Wu said.
Ms. Wu said that the only time she saw the old man unhappy was when she helped the old man clean up the bonsai on the balcony, and accidentally broke a pot of junzi orchids of the old man, and the old man was very distressed, saying that it was given to him by an old friend of his. Although there is dissatisfaction between the words, it is more of a pity and heartache! There was no intention of blaming Ms. Wu.
When Ms. Wu cleaned up the broken bonsai, the old man smiled again.
Third, they are light in their diet and are not picky eaters
Ms. Wu said that the three long-lived elderly people she took care of were all light in their diet, preferring to eat grains and grains, and were not very interested in big fish and meat.
She took the 98-year-old man she cared for as an example, she said that this 98-year-old man is so old, he especially likes to eat porridge boiled with grains, red bean porridge, mung bean porridge, pumpkin soup, sweet potato rice, all of which he especially likes to eat, only occasionally eat a little rib soup, chicken soup, for big fish and meat is rarely eaten.
Ms. Wu also once asked the old man, why don't you like to eat meat? The old man told her that he was used to eating grains and felt that grains were helpful for digestion.
Fourth, the elderly do not have bad habits, such as alcoholism and smoking
Ms. Wu said that the three elderly people she took care of had good living habits, did not smoke or drink. Their diet is generally to eat fewer and more meals.
Ms. Wu said that like the 98-year-old she cared for, instead of three meals a day, he would ask her to make him a glass of milk when he was about to go to sleep. And this old man does not have any special bad habits, such as smoking and drinking, he will not.
Fifth, these elderly people will carry out appropriate exercise
Ms. Wu said that these long-lived elderly people will exercise appropriately, just like the 98-year-old man, who will go to the balcony every day to water the flowers and see the pedestrians on the road.
The old man told Ms. Wu that although he could not go out, he could also come into contact with nature.
Most of the elderly who hire nannies for the elderly live long because these elderly people have good living habits, so that in their old age, they can maintain a peaceful mind and can calm down the things around them, thus forming a virtuous circle, which leads to their longevity, which is not a special secret.
