In the past, people often said: It is rare for people to live to be 70 years old, but now, there are many people who live to be 90 years old and 100 years old. Anyone who can live to the age of 70, the elderly over 80 years old, basically from the age of 50, these four things must be able to do without doing, do you know what four things are?
01 Don't overdo it.
Although it is said that in order to maintain good health, exercise is beneficial, especially for the elderly, there is a big difference between exercising regularly and not exercising.
Let's just say my neighbor Lao Guo, she is 70 years old this year, but she looks like a person in her 50s, because since she was 45 years old, she insists on kicking shuttlecock in the morning and square dancing in the evening every day.
Exercise suitable for the elderly is beneficial, but don't overdo it, such as feeling that your body is okay, just like young people to force themselves to run, running until sweating, panting can stop, this is absolutely undesirable, our body function deteriorates a little bit, once injured it is difficult to recover well.
Therefore, in everything, stop in moderation, don't overdo it, don't do it frequently, and arrange appropriate activities according to your physical condition.
For example, Tai Chi, Baduanjin, these slow-motion exercises, although they are quiet and full, but they are also very beneficial to the body and mind.
02 Minor illnesses should be treated in a timely manner, and don't be forced to carry them.
Many elderly people are afraid of troublesome children, or are reluctant to go to the hospital to face the examination, and they have been carrying a minor illness and treating it at home with various medical knowledge they have learned, but many major illnesses are delayed by minor illnesses.
Upstairs neighbor Lao Zhao, 71 years old this year, he has been feeling weak in the body many years ago, heavy, chest tightness, he was afraid of going to the hospital to check the trouble, hard to drag it out, just use some medicine at home, the result dragged on for 2 months, until one day I really can't get out of bed to go, only to find that the heart is blocked by several important blood vessels, and major thoracotomy surgery is needed to treat.
Therefore, we must find out in time, intervene in time, and don't drag it out. If you become seriously ill, it will increase the burden on your children, and it will be very harmful to your health.
Usually when it's okay, we also have to learn to be familiar with the process of hospital examination, now the hospital registration, take the film, are all intelligent procedures, we have to learn more, so that we don't have to worry about going to the hospital, there is a small problem, you don't need children to come, you can also go.
03 If we are not self-disciplined in life, life will punish us doubly.
Some elderly people around me are very self-disciplined, go to bed early and get up early, and do fixed things at a fixed time every day.
However, some elderly people are very lazy, stay up late to brush their mobile phones, sleep lazily in the morning, eat breakfast if they want to, don't eat if they don't eat, eat irregularly, and have no normal meals.
We will find that all the self-disciplined old people around us are tall and energetic, while the old people who are not self-disciplined are lazy and lazy everywhere, and they are okay for a short time, but after a long time, they often stay up late, their hair will become less and less, their brains will be confused and unable to remember things, their teeth will become more and more loose, and their bodies will become more and more heavy and weak.
04 Eating unconsciously can also add a burden to the body.
Since the age of 50, we have tried to eat lightly, eating more vegetarian food, vegetables and fruits. Some people say that eating a vegetarian diet alone has no strength, but it is actually wrong, and there are many nutritious vegetarian foods, such as soy products, such as mushrooms, which can be combined with three meals a day.
If it's too greasy and spicy, eat less, go to restaurants outside, and try to cook at home, which is affordable and healthy.
Seeing the above 4 items, is there any one among you?
Life is only 30,000 days, and there is nothing else that can accompany us to old age except our own body, so we must treat it well and live in peace with it.
No matter how old we are, we insist on self-discipline, start with the little things every day, and develop good living habits.
Finally, I wish you all good health, peace and joy!
