In modern society, with the continuous enhancement of health awareness, in order to effectively prolong life, many elderly people will spend a lot of time and energy on physical health.
So for elderly friends, what should be done if you want to really have a strong physique and try to stay away from physical diseases?
In fact, it is very important to master the "slow" word skill, that is, for the elderly, health maintenance is to remember the "urgent" can not be.
1. Get up slowly
Whether it is getting up after waking up or squatting for a long time, elderly friends must try to slow down the speed of getting up, so as not to cause insufficient blood supply to the brain due to getting up too fast and too strongly, which will be very unfavorable for brain protection.
If the symptoms are mild, it may cause dizziness and headache, while if the symptoms are more severe, it may cause syncope or fall.
Therefore, for the sake of physical health, elderly friends must pay attention to reasonable control of the speed of getting up when getting up, otherwise once the above dangers are triggered, it is easy to lead to serious adverse consequences.
2. Drink water slowly
As we all know, in the process of body health, it is very necessary to actively develop a good drinking habit.
Especially for older friends, due to the decrease in vascular elasticity, the blood flow rate is likely to have slowed down significantly.
Therefore, if you do not develop a good habit of actively drinking water in time, it is easy to induce blood vessel blockage and annoyance due to excessive blood viscosity, and even lead to myocardial infarction or cerebral infarction in severe cases.
Therefore, for the importance of drinking water health, elderly friends must pay sufficient attention.
And in the process of drinking water, we must pay attention to slow down the speed of drinking water, and we must not drink too much and too fast at one time in order to save time, this wrong practice is also very unfavorable to physical health.
Under normal circumstances, it is recommended that the total daily water intake is best controlled between 1500 and 1800ml for elderly friends, and it is best not to exceed 500ml per water intake.
3. Walk slowly
With the increase of age, the body's physical strength and endurance levels will decline significantly, and due to the increasing loss of calcium, the incidence of leg and foot diseases will often increase significantly.
Therefore, for friends who have entered the stage of old age, if you want to enhance your physique and prevent diseases through active exercise, walking exercise is a very ideal exercise choice.
And in the process of walking, it is best to choose slow walking rather than fast walking, because the legs and feet of the elderly are generally poor, and the balance of the body is often low;
Therefore, if you frequently carry out brisk walking training, it is possible that excessive fatigue will be caused by excessive exercise intensity, or it will cause falling injuries due to unstable walking.
4. Eat slowly
For the vast majority of the elderly, as they age, the incidence of dental disease will increase significantly, especially with loose, defective or fallen teeth.
Under the influence of these adverse factors, the chewing ability of teeth will often be greatly reduced, so the elderly must pay attention to slowing down the chewing speed during the eating process, and try to chew slowly and swallow as much as possible.
So as not to induce indigestion due to eating too fast and incomplete chewing of food, which has been very unfavorable for gastrointestinal maintenance.
The above are the introduction of the four key matters that the elderly need to actively pay attention to in the process of physical health, namely slow getting up, slow drinking water, slow walking and slow eating.
For elderly friends, if you can actively develop these four good habits and adhere to them for a long time, it will not be too difficult to effectively have health and longevity.
On the contrary, if all four good habits have not been formed, it is necessary to pay attention to it and actively strengthen physical maintenance.
