Sixty-year-old Liu is a retired worker, and after retirement, he used to play chess in the community every day, walk birds, and live a leisurely life. But during this time, several of my peers around me were admitted to the hospital because of various problems, and the hospitalization was not to mention dragging the children who worked outside to come back to take care of themselves.
Seeing this situation, Lao Liu was also worried about his body, so he became fascinated with the so-called health lectures held by the health product company, and he had to listen to it every three to five minutes, and every time he went home, he also brought a pack of expensive health care products. Last year alone, Lao Liu spent 50,000 yuan on health product companies. And Lao Liu not only took irregular health care products himself, but also strongly recommended to the people around him, and his son and daughter were persuaded to no avail.
This is not, recently some headaches of the old Liu in the informal health products company under the recommendation of nearly 1,000 pieces of health care products, but who knows that the afternoon of the old Liu on the vomiting diarrhea admitted to the hospital, to the hospital a check, the old Liu's headache is only because of a cold cold, but because of the careless use of health care products led to gastrointestinal problems, it is really not worth the loss.
There are not a few elderly people in life who are enthusiastic about health care like Lao Liu but are deeply trapped in health misunderstandings, so what health knowledge is wrong? How do we properly maintain health?
What are some common health misunderstandings in life?
In recent years, the phrase "no food for lunch" seems to have become a trend in the health and wellness community. I heard that not eating at night can be healthy and long-lived, and many elderly people do not eat dinner. In fact, this statement is not completely correct, and not eating at noon depends on the individual's living conditions and eating habits.
Take the Western diet, steaks, fries, burgers and other fried foods and desserts and other sugar and oil mixtures are relatively easy to eat, plus these foods themselves are relatively high in calories, so reducing the amount of food is conducive to good health.
But for people with normal food intake, not eating after noon can easily cause physiological mechanism disorders. If you fall asleep after lunch for a long time on an empty stomach, then the stomach acid will be secreted too much and corrode the stomach wall, which will lead to impaired gastrointestinal function and stomach ulcers in the long run.
And for the middle-aged and elderly people over fifty years old, they themselves are in a state of physical decline, protein synthesis ability is weakened, and their muscles are decreasing, so at this time, "noon without eating" will damage their health.
On the one hand, there are various supplements on the market, such as multiple nutrients, etc., but these are often to meet some people who lack this kind of nutrition, and are not suitable for everyone. And many nutrients on the market even exceed the specified safety value, too high a dose is not much good for the human body, and will also increase the burden on the kidneys, increase the risk of disease. In fact, as long as the daily reasonable diet, you can get a variety of nutrients needed by the human body.
In addition, in addition to nutritional supplements, many elderly people are keen to eat ginseng and other supplements, for the elderly with deficiency, appropriate supplementation can improve physiological functions and delay the aging process. But for older adults who do not have such problems, taking supplements may have problems such as excitement, insomnia, and increased blood pressure.
On the other hand, in the selection of health care products, it is necessary to choose formal products that meet national standards. Now many criminals use the name of "free" to deceive the elderly under the guise of health maintenance, and the "health care products" they sell often sell at sky-high prices, and they also claim to cure all diseases. In life, the elderly should pay attention to discernment, so as not to walk into the trap of health care products.
In addition, many middle-aged and elderly people often gather in the park at five o'clock to exercise together, but the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air before six o'clock in the morning is higher than other times. In addition, when you wake up in the morning, the blood is more viscous, the sympathetic nervous system is more excited, and the elderly have a higher incidence of cardiovascular disease.
When exercising in the morning, it is recommended to do it after eating breakfast and replenishing water to prevent hypoglycemia. And try to choose weather with good air quality when practicing in the morning, if you encounter serious pollution and haze weather, it is best not to go out.
The above is the middle-aged and elderly people in the health care is easy to fall into the misunderstanding, so how to avoid these misunderstandings in life, uphold what principles of health?
Middle-aged and elderly people should uphold the correct principle of health
In life, most people tend to pay more attention to physical health and neglect mental health. Influenced by traditional concepts and modern fast-paced life, people are either afraid of medical treatment or busy with work, resulting in a variety of psychological disorders, which also explains why the incidence of psychological disorders in the mainland has continued to rise in recent years, but the impact of bad psychological emotions on health is very large.
Therefore, health care should pay attention to the co-cultivation of the gods, positive and healthy psychology can make people feel happy, and excessive negative emotions are harmful to human health and not beneficial. Optimism, peace of mind, and not too much worry can make the body healthy. In life, you can carry out some interesting activities to cultivate emotions, such as fishing, calligraphy, planting flowers and plants, etc., and the elderly can also carry out some gentler sports, such as tai chi.
In the process of health maintenance, everyone should not arbitrarily move other people's practices. Some health care masters often have their own health habits, and write books and sayings, many people have followed suit. However, each person has a different physique and different living habits, and whether the health care method is suitable or not must be experienced by yourself.
For example, in terms of eating habits, the 107-year-old elderly shaw emphasized that there are no taboos" in diet, and does not deliberately avoid high-oil and high-fat foods, and will eat them appropriately. But such an approach does not seem to apply to everyone. For example, some people with gastrointestinal problems also pursue a light eating of coarse grains, which greatly reduces the intake of oil and fat, but the fibrous group of coarse grains is not easy to digest, which will cause adverse reactions such as nausea acid.
Therefore, in the principle of beneficial to the body, it is good to do what you like in terms of diet, and you do not have to deliberately follow the trend.
In addition to the above need to uphold the correct health principles, mastering some health knowledge is beneficial to health, the following are a few correct health knowledge.
What are some recommended health tips in life?
According to the health rules of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, the focus of the maintenance of the body at different times is also different. For example, at 23:00-1: the human body's bile meridian is the most active, which is suitable for lying still and sleeping; Sleep well at 1-3 o'clock to nourish the liver and blood; 3-5 points of deep sleep are conducive to lung qi regulation and blood transfusion; 5-7 points of the large intestine is vigorous, wake up should defecate, prevent constipation; 7-9 o'clock is suitable for a nutritious breakfast; Eating lunch at 9-11 o'clock is conducive to the transport of the spleen; 11-13 o'clock nap to refresh the mind.
13-15 is the best time to digest lunch, so it is best to eat lunch before this; 15-17 points the bladder is vigorous, drink more water to promote metabolism; 17-19 points of kidney meridian is strong and suitable for rest and recuperation; Resting for half an hour after a meal from 19-21:00 helps to refresh the mind; From 21 to 23 o'clock, it is advisable to rest and recuperate and prepare for falling asleep.
The above are all based on the principle of health maintenance in accordance with the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic", which has certain scientific and reference significance, but for individuals, it is still necessary to focus on their own situation, adjust the implementation according to personal conditions, and avoid blindly being rigid.
Secondly, proper massage of some acupuncture points of the body has certain benefits, such as massage of foot three miles can activate blood circulation; Massage the Fountain Acupoint to adjust the qi and blood; Massage the Yangchi acupoint to unclog the blood. In addition, proper abdominal rubbing can enhance the tension of the inner wall of the stomach and intestines, making food easier to absorb, digest and excrete. Rub your abdomen with your hands on top of each other, go around the umbilicus, and preferably in one direction, morning and evening.
In addition, you can also use the ten-finger combing method, every morning and evening, the fingers are open, and the fingers are combed from the forehead to the back of the head, and long-term adherence can promote blood circulation in the head, increase the hair of dense hair, and assist in lowering blood pressure and relieve fatigue.
It should be noted that the purpose of health maintenance is not to treat diseases, but to reduce the risk of disease to a certain extent, even if the body is not obviously uncomfortable and does not prove that the body is healthy, the body is often difficult to detect abnormalities in the internal organs in time. This is why many people who originally thought they were healthy suddenly suffered from serious diseases, and early prevention and early treatment were reasonable health attitudes.
summary
Modern society people are increasingly aware of the importance of health care, but the untruthful health knowledge spread on the Internet makes people often fall into a variety of health misunderstandings, not only waste money, but more importantly mislead the public, but also increase the risk of disease. Therefore, it is necessary to uphold the correct principle of health maintenance, so as not to blindly follow, dialectical view, and distinguish between true and false.
