There is an 80-year-old man in our community named Uncle Wang.
After retirement, he did not stop his hobby, but loved life even more;
He began to take art classes such as painting and calligraphy, and also participated in community volunteer organizations to help his neighbors solve various problems.
Although he is old, he is very young in mind, always full of curiosity and desire to learn.
People often ask him in the community,
In his own words:
I think Uncle Wang has a very good mentality, but now, some young people are gradually "aging", and some elderly people are becoming more and more "younger".
So how do you measure whether a person is old or not?
I don't think age should be used as an indicator, especially after the age of 70, but today we're going to talk about it.
First, what characteristics should be seen for old or not?
1, 70 years old, still in good spirits
"Look at that person, he's so old, but he's really mental!"
If you hear that, it's a sign that you're not old!
Mental complexion is one of the important indicators to measure a person's health.
Some people are still refreshed and refreshed despite their age, while others are the opposite.
This is because they pay attention to taking care of their bodies, maintaining a positive mindset and a healthy lifestyle, so that they can have such a good state.
Good mental appearance is not only a matter of appearance, but also a reflection of inner health and happiness.
2. 70 years old, language communication skills are still very good
But in reality, it's just a misconception.
In fact, people's cognitive ability and verbal communication skills may decline as they age, but this does not mean that everyone will develop Alzheimer's disease.
I know an old man who is now in her 90s: she is very reflexes and communicators, and she is even smarter than me.
Everyone's physical fitness and lifestyle habits are different, so the risk of Alzheimer's disease is also different.
If we can take care to maintain good living habits;
For example, exercising more, reading more, and thinking more can delay the aging process of the brain and reduce the risk of disease.
3, 70 years old, good athleticism
After the age of 70, if you can still keep exercising, that's a really good thing!
This shows that you are in very good physical and mental condition, and that you will also appear younger at your age.
If you can keep exercising, you can not only maintain your health, but also make your mood happier and more energetic.
But if your body has become very weak and you need to rely on others for help with your daily activities, you need to pay attention.
This is when you need more human care and support, as well as actively seeking medical help.
4, 70 years old, still in a good mentality
Some people say that when you are old, you can't do what you like;
The idea of staying at home watching TV and sleeping is so negative.
In fact, age is just a number, and mentality is the most important thing.
He likes to draw, write, read, and sometimes travel to enjoy life.
Age is just the passage of time, and the mindset is our own choice.
At the age of 5, 70 years old, the quality of sleep is still very good
Some people can still sleep soundly at the age of 70, which is really enviable!
The quality of their sleep is very good, even better than some young people.
Sleep quality is very important for good health, if you can maintain good sleep habits;
It can better protect the body, enhance immunity, and reduce the occurrence of diseases.
2. How to prevent aging?
1. Maintain healthy sleep habits
The first thing to do is to maintain a regular sleep schedule.
You should go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends;
This helps to adjust the body clock and allow the body to adjust to a stable rhythm of work and rest.
2. Sleeping environment
The bedroom should be quiet, warm, clean and comfortable, and the temperature should not be too high or too low.
Bedding such as mattresses and pillows should also be chosen to suit you and ensure that they do not cause pressure on your neck or back.
It's best to have a dim environment when sleeping, and if the room is too bright, you can use curtains or blindfolds to block out the light.
Noise can also interfere with sleep, so if it's noisy outside, consider using earplugs or turning on a white noise machine to help block out outside sounds.
3. Diet
Older adults should be careful not to consume too much caffeine and alcohol before bedtime.
Coffee, tea, chocolate, and caffeinated beverages should all be consumed in moderation, especially in the late afternoon.
As for alcohol, it may cause you to wake up during the night, affecting the depth and quality of your sleep.
4. Exercise appropriately
Pay attention to the timing of exercise.
It is a good idea to take a moderate walk or yoga during the day;
However, strenuous exercise should be avoided in the evening or evening, as it can make it too exciting to fall asleep.
5. Mental health
Older people can relax and reduce anxiety and stress by reading, meditating, or taking deep breaths.
Before going to bed, it is not advisable to engage in stimulating work or intense thinking, such as dealing with work problems or watching thriller movies.
