Brother Chen came home from the weekend vacation and was about to cook for his father, but when he opened the refrigerator and saw a dazzling array of leftovers stuffed into the refrigerator, he suddenly felt overwhelmed and surprised.
If you look closely, some of them are not even sealed, and they are directly stuffed in, which makes me feel very angry and distressed.
This is because Brother Chen was already angry at his father last time he came home, and angrily told him not to eat leftovers anymore.
In order to support his family, Brother Chen can only go home once a week, and there is no way to look at his father all the time.
Seeing his father like this, he remembered that he had seen 7 bad habits that the old Chinese people couldn't get rid of, and his father seemed to have several, and his heart was full of helplessness and worry.
This time, Brother Chen did not open his mouth to scold his father, but silently poured out the leftovers, remade fresh dishes, and patiently popularized science for the elderly.
1. 7 bad habits of the elderly in China
1. Heavy taste in the diet
The food culture is getting higher and higher, but it can't change the bad habits of some old people, and they still like heavy flavors in the food they cook.
Especially stir-fried vegetables with heavy salt, I like to put salt when boiling soup.
As a result, the elderly are in unhealthy eating habits for a long time, and the elderly also like to eat heavy pickled products, such as tofu, sausage, salted fish, etc.
They think that these dishes are simple and delicious, do not need to be cooked, and can be eaten simply to eat several bowls of rice.
Long-term bad habits of eating can easily induce the risk of high blood pressure and increase the burden on their stomach.
2. Do not pay attention to food hygiene
Viruses are always everywhere, and we need to be more hygienic so that we can live in a healthy and clean environment.
Every detail of life needs to be hygienic because it has the potential to contain bacterial infections.
But in the consciousness of some old people, they feel that they are not sick if they eat it cleanly.
Some foods that have expired and spoiled will feel that it doesn't matter, and it doesn't matter if you eat a little.
And in terms of daily cleaning, disinfectants are never used, simple water wipes can be done, clothes are worn for many days without changing, and hands are not washed before meals.
In the eyes of the elderly, this kind of hygiene problem has developed a bad habit, allowing bacteria to continue to multiply and breed.
3. Love to worry and work hard
The elderly always have a heart that can not be finished for a lifetime, and they work hard to worry about their children, and their children have grown up from children to adults, and they will not be at ease about the trivial matters of children's lives.
Even if the child works hard outside the home and has his own independent thinking, he is reluctant to let them create his own life.
This is also a bad habit of the elderly, and you should try to let go properly and give the children a space.
Let them learn to be independent, even if they fall, it is also an experience in life.
The elderly also give themselves a relaxed state, always working hard, and their physical and mental health will be seriously damaged.
4. Don't like to exercise, easy to age
The elderly, who are getting older, feel that their joint bones are not as good as before, so they will choose not to exercise.
Doing nothing every day, finishing household chores, is resting at home and not moving.
Even if you are full, you don't exercise and digest, and gradually lose your enthusiasm for exercise.
This bad habit of life is not conducive to maintaining good health and balance, and the metabolism of the elderly becomes slow.
Long-term sedentary life is more likely to cause the body to age, leading to muscle deterioration.
Older people need exercise more, can better prevent various chronic diseases, and can look more energetic and energetic.
5. Tobacco and alcohol are often accompanied, which is harmful to health
It is not difficult for us to find that our grandparents' generation already had the habit of smoking and drinking.
After doing farm work, I will smoke leisurely with a pipe in the yard, and I will drink a few glasses directly when I eat.
It's just that the previous dishes were not so rich, they were all peanuts, steamed buns, etc.
Now life has become better, there are more and more varieties of tobacco and alcohol, rich and diverse dishes, so that the elderly can indulge themselves more, sometimes they may smoke a few packs of cigarettes a day, which causes great damage to the cardiopulmonary function.
Regular drinking of alcohol will increase the burden on the anal organs, so that the body functions cannot be transported normally, and the metabolism will be disordered. The long-term stimulation of tobacco and alcohol will increase the risk of various diseases.
6. Reluctance to see a doctor
Every organ of the body needs to be cared for, and the older you get, the more likely you are to face various physical diseases.
When the elderly find that they are unwell, they will find some medicine to eat at home, or use the home remedies left over from their youth, and they are reluctant to go to the doctor.
They think that going to the hospital will cost more money, do all kinds of tests, and they feel very anxious about finding out a serious illness, and they can't face the fact that they can't face the blow.
This concept leads to more and more elderly people who are reluctant to see a doctor, and the formation of bad habits will easily delay the best treatment time for the disease.
7. Eat leftovers
In the era of the old people, they all worked hard, and they lived in poverty, and every penny was not easy to come by, and they also needed to go to the fields to do farm work, and the consciousness that every grain was hard.
It seems to have been ingrained in their hearts, resulting in the old people now liking to eat leftovers.
Every day, if they can't finish eating leftovers, they will put them in the refrigerator and continue to eat them after reheating, and they think that throwing them away is a luxury and waste.
However, leftovers have not only lost their nutrients, but are also prone to bacterial growth.
The longer it is left unit, the table salt in the meal breaks down and produces nitrite, which is a serious carcinogen.
Second, good habits are shared, and the old people learn
We should cultivate good living habits for the elderly, so that they can grow up healthily in a happy environment, and the happiness and health of the elderly is the most precious wealth of their children.
Everyone should have their own hobbies.
The old people used to live in poor conditions, for the sake of their children, delayed the study of their hobbies, felt old, did not dare to invest, but live to be old, learn old, this good habit should be cultivated.
You can try to sign up for a favorite hobby, don't be shy and afraid, when you succeed in learning, you will feel a special sense of accomplishment.
At that time, I will be in a good mood, and I will have my own interests and hobbies, and my time will be much more fulfilling.
In addition, when the elderly encounter things, they will be easy to panic, and their cranky thoughts will easily affect their physical and mental health.
Emotions can make a person nervous, long-term excitement and anger, which can easily lead to an increase in blood pressure and blood sugar, and it is easy to suddenly develop various diseases.
No matter what happens in life, especially the trivial things in life, you must be calm and calm, and you are not in a hurry. Face it with optimism.
In order to make the elderly pay more attention to their bodies, it is important for them to develop a good habit of regular physical examinations.
Nowadays, many diseases do not have many symptoms at first, and the condition is already very serious when it is detected.
Not only does it make treatment more difficult, but it also has the potential to be a huge safety hazard.
In particular, malignant tumors are already at an advanced stage when they are detected due to the delay in time.
The cure rate of early cancer is particularly high, so it is necessary to develop a good habit of regular medical checkups and learn to love yourself.
In the community park, we can also find some elderly people sitting idle for most of the day, and do not stand up to move.
The reason why these old people don't like to exercise is that they don't know what to do because they are old and lazy.
You can try to move with other elderly people of the same age, run for a run, and practice Tai Chi to stimulate their interest in exercise and accompany them to develop a good habit of exercising every day.
You can also tell them that you can take a walk in the community and park after dinner, and you can see many people dancing in the square, and you can also move with them.
3. How to make the elderly change better
It is especially difficult for children to break bad habits if they tell the elderly directly, because their bad habits are not formed overnight.
We should think from their perspective and persuade in new ways to bring about better change.
You can encourage the elderly to participate in social activities and form their own circle of friends.
When children grow up, they will work outside the home and rarely accompany the elderly, they will feel very lonely, and they will be prone to cranky thoughts.
At this time, you can sign up for some social activities for the elderly, so that they can meet new friends, so that they can have entertainment and expand their life circle.
With some like-minded friends, play chess and sing songs, communicate with each other, and exchange experiences with each other.
It is worth mentioning that children should also take the elderly out for a walk.
Even if they are busy at work, their children should take the time to go home and accompany their parents to go outside during holidays to see the world of nature.
As parents get older, they will feel very lonely, and it is easy to ignore the details of life and let bad habits develop.
When you go out to play, you can open your heart and talk about your heart, listen to the inner world of the elderly, and share your thoughts with each other.
At this time, encourage them to break their bad habits, and speak up in the natural environment, they will feel more comfortable, understand each other more easily, and better understand this new world, and it will be easier to get rid of bad habits.
In addition, sometimes you can send some educational videos to the elderly, or watch a movie with them.
These videos and movies can contain the influence of some bad habits, the importance of good habits, so that they can see the harm of bad habits invisibly. It will be more effective and helpful than direct chatter.
Because the concept of bad habits of the elderly has been formed, it is not easy to take the first step to change.
Let them watch meaningful knowledge movies and videos, it will be more dynamic and authentic, and the true energy of science will be transmitted, and it will be easier for them to listen.
Epilogue:
Many old people's bad habits are formed over time, and it will be difficult for them to change them as soon as possible.
As their relatives and friends, we should first learn to understand them, let them understand the harm of bad habits to the body, and then slowly try to make them change.
Starting from some details of life, take more time and patience, so that the elderly can get out of the circle of bad habits and move towards a happier and healthier life.
