#养老院里的百态人生 #
Middle-aged and elderly people are a fast-growing group, and their health problems have received widespread attention. Although with the advancement of medical technology, people's life expectancy has gradually increased, this does not mean that the quality of life of middle-aged and elderly people has also improved. Many middle-aged and elderly people have problems with their physical health and living habits, such as lack of exercise, unhealthy diet, staying up late, etc., which will seriously affect their physical health and quality of life.
Therefore, we need to explore the living habits of middle-aged and elderly people and propose corresponding improvement measures so that they can live a healthier and more comfortable life.
First, lack of exercise
Long-term inactivity will reduce the body's immunity and disease resistance, increase the risk of infection with diseases and viruses, and also easily cause obesity, metabolic syndrome and other diseases. Therefore, regular exercise is essential for an individual's physical health.
Proper exercise can accelerate metabolism and enhance the regulatory ability of various systems of the body, which can prevent the occurrence of various chronic diseases. In addition, moderate exercise can relieve the body's stress, enhance the adaptability to stress and various physiological environments, improve the body's immunity, and enhance the ability to resist diseases.
Exercise can also help people maintain a healthy digestive system and avoid gastrointestinal diseases, while improving sleep quality and alleviating emotional symptoms such as anxiety and depression.
Second, stay up late
Staying up late is a major threat to the health of the elderly, which disrupts normal sleep patterns and leads to insomnia, fatigue, headache, loss of appetite and other symptoms. Although older adults do not need to increase their sleep time, 7-8 hours of sleep per day is still essential for maintaining good health.
In order to avoid the impact of staying up late on the body, the elderly need to maintain regular living habits and establish a good sleep environment. Older people should follow a fixed sleep schedule and avoid changing sleep time frequently as much as possible to keep the biological clock stable.
Secondly, in order to create a better sleep environment, the elderly need to plan their sleeping space reasonably. Make sure the environment is quiet, warm, comfortable, and avoid distractions such as noise and light.
3. Eat leftovers often
Compared with young people, the elderly prefer to be diligent and thrifty, but in terms of diet, the elderly often have the habit of eating leftovers. However, experts point out: "leftovers, nutrition does not leave much, but the harm increases several times." Leftovers not only hurt the stomach, but can also lead to serious health problems such as food poisoning. "There are also many elderly people we serve who have suffered a range of physical ailments due to leftovers.
In order to protect their health, we recommend that the elderly gradually change the bad habit of eating leftovers. If the appetite of the elderly is relatively small, you can consider reducing the amount of meals appropriately and do not leave too many meals. In addition, the elderly can also add more diverse and fresh choices to the diet, such as a variety of vegetables and fruits, different types of meat, etc., to meet the diversity of taste and healthy nutrition.
Fourth, excessive mobile phone play
Nowadays, whether it is primary school students or the elderly, everyone has a smart phone, chatting on WeChat and scrolling videos has become part of daily life. However, many people lack moderation, indulge in mobile phones, and play for a day. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in the elderly.
I should have gone to bed early and got up early, danced in the square, and chatted with my neighbors, but I became a night owl and spent all my time scrolling through videos. This may be related to the hard work and busyness of work, after retirement, free time makes them lose their regularity, lack the company of their peers, and relieve their inner loneliness by brushing videos and other ways.
Although relaxation is good, it should be moderate. If your health suffers due to excessive addiction to mobile phones, it will be worth the loss.
5. Save plastic bags
Many elderly people are used to collecting plastic bags they get when shopping, including slimy bags for meat, because they are reluctant to throw them away. Eventually, the bags were thrown away.
Sixth, reluctant to eat, reluctant to drink
Many elderly people receive food, such as fruits, vegetables or milk, bought by their children, but keep them because they are reluctant to eat or drink. When these foods are close to expiration, or some of them have gone bad, they pick them out for priority consumption. This vicious cycle keeps the elderly from enjoying fresh fruits and vegetables, and they may also have food safety problems such as viruses and bacteria when eating expired food.
We believe that health and frugality are equally important. The elderly are important members of the family, and only when they are healthy can they enjoy the beauty of life; And frugal living is also good for stabilizing family finances and family environment. However, this does not mean that we can ignore food safety and health.
