"Ms. Chen, your night sweating may be related to changes in hormone levels in the body, and it is recommended to do more tests."
These are the words of Dr. Zhou to 62-year-old Chen Guiying at the city hospital.
Chen Guiying is a retired primary school teacher who has an orderly life but has recently been plagued by health problems.
A year ago, Chen Guiying decided to do eye exercises every morning because she began to experience eye fatigue and blurred vision, hoping to relieve her eye discomfort.
Although she is skeptical of this traditional eye practice, she insists on getting up early every day in the hope that it will help her eye health.
However, the physical examination six months later brought some unexpected findings.
In addition to the obvious improvement in her eye health, there has also been a significant change in her overall health.
The results of the examination showed that Chen Guiying's blood pressure and cholesterol levels had dropped significantly, which surprised her and her family.
Chen originally thought that eye exercises would only affect eye health, but the doctor explained that regular eye exercises are actually a light form of physical activity that can help improve blood circulation and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
In addition, this activity can also enhance the regulation ability of the nervous system, which can help improve sleep quality.
In the process, Chen Guiying began to gradually realize the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
Not only did she continue to do eye exercises every day, but she also started experimenting with other types of light exercises, such as walking and tai chi.
Her eating habits have also changed, with more vegetables and whole grains and less greasy and high-sugar foods.
Chen's story resonated with her community.
Many other peers were influenced by her and began to pay attention to their lifestyle habits and health.
Chan is keen to share her experience by giving group talks at community centres to teach eye exercises and discuss how to improve health through small daily activities.
In addition, Chen Guiying also found that doing eye exercises regularly not only improved her eyesight, but also reduced her eye fatigue.
This is an added perk for her as she enjoys reading and knitting, activities that are eyesight-intensive.
Over time, her attitude towards eye exercises changed from initial skepticism to a staunch supporter.
She has even begun to research more scientific evidence on eye exercises and other health gymnastics, hoping to gain a deeper understanding of the health benefits of these activities for older adults.
The article ends with no concluding statement, but rather asks a question:
As they age, how should seniors choose the right gymnastics for themselves to maintain and improve their health?
A detailed analysis of this issue shows that the elderly should consider a number of factors when choosing health gymnastics, including their personal health, existing health problems, and fitness level.
The ideal health gymnastics should be able to help improve circulation, build muscle strength, improve flexibility, and contribute to mental health.
When choosing activities, consider a variety of gymnastics, including eye exercises, combined with low-impact exercises such as walking, swimming, or yoga, which are safe and effective to help older adults stay active and improve their overall health.
