Many people pass the age of sixty, and the focus of life shifts to health and life.
This is also human nature and can be understood.
It's just that the best way to live is not necessarily to maintain health and save life. I think forcing yourself to do 3 things is the smartest way to live.
01 Push yourself to quit bad habits
In reality, some people have very bad habits. For example, a lot of tobacco and alcohol, playing cards for a long time.
These things, of course, can bring temporary happiness. But after exceeding a certain amount, the physical damage to the elderly is very large.
At that time, no matter how much health food you eat, it will be difficult to make up for this damage.
I have an old neighbor in my family who has been addicted to playing cards since he retired.
Often spend five or six hours a day sitting in that smoky environment, sitting for a long time.
Whether smoking or sedentary, it is recognized as a health killer.
Later, sure enough, it caused a cerebral hemorrhage and fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
Although cerebral hemorrhage is related to his own blood pressure and lipids.
But without the sedentary smoking mentioned above, his health would not be so bad.
When people reach sixty, they often retire, have a lot of free time, and naturally want to find something to have fun.
At this time, what to find for entertainment, you have to choose carefully.
Tai chi, writing, painting, can cultivate the body, is a suitable choice for the elderly.
02 Reduce relationships
After 60, most people began to get bored, so they talked to their neighbors.
However, some chats are purely contested.
I watched my father and my mother talk to other people. Some of them had broken mouths and said very angry words.
This kind of chat, it's better not to chat.
Take an example.
For example, some uncles, chatting together, have to compete for a high and low.
After a long time, it is easy to sulk, and it will be emotional and have high blood pressure.
And then there are aunts who like to chew their tongues and spread other people's gossip behind their backs.
It's also infuriating.
Therefore, interpersonal relationships should be screened, not all accepted.
In reality, there are a few reliable friends who can just talk with them. Other people, there is no need to socialize.
Friends are not expensive.
03 Keep boundaries with your children's lives
In reality, there are too many elderly people who are used to taking care of their children.
Or forced by a realistic pressure to take care of the child.
In the end, he tied his later life to the lives of his children.
In fact, this loss is very large.
I know an aunt. Before, it can be said that he was full of spirit, and his spirit was very strong.
But since she forced her son to give birth to a second child and began to take care of the second child, her spirit has worn out.
The whole person looked very haggard. It's tired with children.
To be honest, the elderly still interfere less in the affairs of children, otherwise they really find themselves burdened.
Some old people will say, they don't want to, isn't that helpless?
This does make sense. Children have to go to work, but the elderly take children.
It's just that the old man should not coddle the child, and everything should be handled for the child.
Otherwise, some children will have to step in, and in the end it will all depend on the old man. Let the old man be tired and half dead.
