01
Regular work and rest
Staying up late at night can be damaging to the body, and it can lead to abnormal blood pressure and cholesterol, increasing the risk of heart disease. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people should ensure adequate sleep and go to bed no later than 23 o'clock.
02
Slow down the pace
As we age, our body functions decline. It is recommended that elderly friends pay attention to slowing down movements in daily life, such as getting up, eating, talking and walking, to reduce the occurrence of accidents.
03
Eat in moderation
Eating in moderation is good for health, while overeating can lead to indigestion. It is recommended that middle-aged and elderly people follow the principle of "seven points full" to avoid discomfort.
04
Eat a varied diet
In order to ensure balanced nutrition, the diet of middle-aged and elderly people should be diversified, with a reasonable combination of meat and vegetables, while taking into account the intake of coarse and fine grains.
05
Dinner time
Dinner should not be too late, studies have shown a higher risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases within two hours after dinner. It is recommended that dinner be arranged in the early evening.
05
Food temperature
Foods that are too cold or too hot can irritate the digestive system. Middle-aged and elderly people should eat food at a moderate temperature to protect the digestive tract and maintain appetite.
06
Drink healthy water
Drinking the right amount of water every day is essential for good health. It is recommended that the elderly maintain good drinking habits and avoid blood viscosity and dyslipidemia caused by lack of water.
07
Reduce salt intake
Epidemiological studies have shown a positive correlation between reduced salt intake and reduced incidence of hypertension. In other words, the higher the salt intake, the higher the prevalence of hypertension. High blood pressure is not only a high-risk factor for critical organ diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease.
08
Increase physical activity
Increasing physical activity is essential for health, as it can give people a healthy body and a positive mindset to keep their minds and bodies young. Sitting still for long periods of time can lead to muscle degeneration and atrophy, so older people should avoid sitting for long periods of time and instead walk and be active more often as the key to a healthy path.
09
Let go of stubbornness and treat others with a generous attitude
In life, you don't have to seek to understand everything thoroughly. Arguing about the facts can lose the emotion, and ultimately hurt yourself. Let go of stubbornness, treat others with a generous attitude, and increase peace and warmth, so that life will be full of sunshine.
10
Cherish your partner
You don't have to be romantic, but your wife is your partner, and you can grow old like a tourist who has traveled a long distance and slowly climbed to the top of a mountain. Therefore, cherish your partner and don't neglect the person you have spent your life with because of your children or grandchildren. Create romantic moments with your partner, such as exchanging gifts for anniversaries or enjoying a monthly candlelit dinner.
11
Have an indifferent heart
For people over 60 years old, fame and fortune are things outside the body, and they must learn to look down on them. It is better to pursue real happiness and peace of mind than to pursue vanity and fortune. Having an indifferent heart allows people to live a long life, and peace of mind contributes to good health. Indifference to fame and fortune is to stick to one's own gains, cherish one's happiness, do not fight with others, and live simply and happily.
12
Be a contented person
Those who are content, even if they lie in the dust, can find their inner paradise, while those who are not content, even if they are in the Qionglou Yuyu, feel like falling into purgatory. The most precious thing in life is the wealth of the soul, and being content and able to give freely is the true wealth and relief.
13
Age is not capital
Age is not capital, many things in this world can be priced, but age is not. There is no need to be filled with too many "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts" in your mind.
14
Don't meddle in things that don't matter
Don't meddle in inconsequential matters, especially the trivial things at home. The education of your grandchildren is your child's responsibility, not your responsibility. Now is the generation of "Ultraman" and "Big Big Wolf", and they are still telling the story of "there is a temple on the mountain", which may mislead future generations.
16
Stay optimistic
In the face of life, maintain an optimistic attitude, have an open mind, look down on everything, and sorrow will naturally dissipate. In the face of urgent matters, we need to stay calm, in the face of difficult things, we need to stay sober, and in the face of angry things, we need to learn to let go, not to get angry, not to accumulate resentment, not to get angry, not to be impatient.
17
Socialize with friends in moderation
Socialize with friends in moderation, cherish the time with old classmates and friends, and grasp the opportunity to make friends with new friends, because friendship is the most reliable mascot in life.
18
Smile, ten years less
As the saying goes, smile, ten years younger. Smile is the best skincare product and the most affordable anti-aging secret. Whether it is smiling or laughing, a wonderful life always has its unique charm, and the person who laughs last can laugh the sweetest.
19
Have a wide range of hobbies
Having a wide range of hobbies allows you to find pleasure in your ordinary life. Whether it is calligraphy and painting, piano and chess, tai chi, square dance, you can find happiness in it, find your own paradise, and cultivate a unique scenery.
20
Pay proper attention to dressing
Proper attention to dressing up can bring vitality and self-confidence to the lives of middle-aged and elderly people: I am not old, I am still young. Such a mindset is beneficial for both health and longevity.
21
See more of the world
Tourism is also a way for the elderly to actively care for the elderly, visit the beautiful scenery, relax the mood, add fun to life, and inject youthful vitality into themselves. Compared to being at home, travel can make people feel relaxed and peaceful, which is good for both physical and mental health.
22
Look down on the past and enjoy the present
Chic is a kind of transcendent atmosphere, looking down on the past, enjoying the present, and quietly appreciating the changes of nature. Chic is to do what you like, walk the way you like, be your true self, and let your mind fly freely and unrestrained.
After the age of 60, we should be more free and easy, look at the world, not be shocked by honor and disgrace, not be happy with things, not sad with ourselves, chic and free, not burdened by trivial things, and cherish every day of life.
