In the quiet city of Qingdao, Mr. Wang, a retired real estate agent, is busy cleaning his home.
Despite his age, he still maintains a positive attitude towards life.
However, while cleaning today, he accidentally slipped and fell, but fortunately there was no major problem.
This little accident made him think about his health, especially after entering his sixties, how to live a healthy old age.
To this end, Mr. Wang decided to go to a well-known local tertiary hospital for a comprehensive health consultation.
Go to the hospital for a check-up
At the hospital, Mr. Wang met his old friend, Dr. Liu, who was also his family doctor.
After a series of examinations, the two began an in-depth health conversation.
Mr. Wong mentioned to Dr. Lau some of his recent doubts, especially about healthy lifestyle choices.
Dr. Lau earnestly disseminated to Mr. Wong the important knowledge about healthy living after the age of 60.
Dr. Lau first pointed out that after the age of 60, physical functions begin to decline gradually, so it is important to make appropriate life adjustments.
The principle of "one go, three don't do".
He proposed that some places not to go and some things not to do are essential to maintaining health in old age.
First of all, "not going" refers to avoiding going to places other than the hospital for self-diagnosis or buying unverified health supplements.
Dr. Lau explained that as you get older, your body functions are not as good as before, so you should avoid believing in roadside home remedies or advertised health products, and should go to the hospital regularly for health check-ups and consult professional doctors.
Then, the "three don'ts" refer to:
1. Don't do strenuous exercise
Dr. Lau recommends walking, tai chi or yoga and avoiding high-intensity, high-risk exercise to prevent accidents.
2. Do not do extreme diets
Maintain a balanced diet that does not over-diet or overeat.
3. Don't be overly anxious
Dr Lau emphasises the importance of mindset and advises to maintain a peaceful mindset, enjoy life, and avoid excessive anxiety and stress.
In the following sections, Dr. Lau explains in detail why these principles are essential for a healthy later life and offers some specific life advice.
He emphasized the risk of heart attack, especially when going out, and should avoid overexertion and nervousness, which can induce a heart attack and lead to disability.
epilogue
Dr. Lau concludes that after the age of 60, the quality of life and health can be significantly improved by implementing the principle of "don't go, don't do three".
He encouraged everyone, especially the elderly, to stay mindful of their health, adopt an active lifestyle, and seek medical attention promptly if they feel unwell.
With these prudent measures, everyone is able to enjoy a healthy and harmonious old age.
