Nowadays, many elderly people look forward to living for a few more years, all kinds of health care, and all kinds of health care products.
An old man I know is like this, since a fall a few years ago caused a fracture, the doctor told her that she had osteoporosis, and then began to take all kinds of supplements, calcium tablets, ammonia sugar, and various vitamins, and even took a lot of Chinese medicine. Once, the old man heard about an imported health care product out of nowhere, and he was stunned to find someone to buy and eat it from his children. Anyway, her own pension is very much, tens of thousands of yuan a month, and the children are living very well, so she doesn't need to worry about the old couple, fortunately, she can use it all to buy these health products and supplements, so that she can live a few more years.
In fact, the children are either afraid that the elderly will spend money, or they think that she eats so many health products, and she is afraid that she will eat her body badly.
However, the old man himself did not believe it! She felt that the more she ate, the better it was for her body. As a result, last year, the old man fell again, and this time the fall was even more serious, because he was too old and the doctor did not recommend surgery, but the old man himself had to insist on surgery. In the end, the operation was done, but the old man also collapsed in bed, and lay like this for more than half a year, and just passed away not long ago.
A good person died because of a fall, and no matter how much he has in his pension, he can't spend his life.
Some people may have heard the saying that the elderly are most afraid of the "last fall". This sentence means that the elderly are most afraid of wrestling, and they are likely to lose their lives directly because of this fall. What's even more terrible is that he couldn't die at that time, but he fell and was paralyzed, and then he could only lie on the bed, eating and drinking Lazar was all taken care of by others, not to mention dragging down his children, and he was still very guilty.
So let's just say, for the elderly who can't take care of themselves, living may be more painful than dying! Compared with longevity, being able to live with high quality is the greatest blessing for the elderly.
First, when you are old, it is a blessing to live like this!
1. No serious illness and can take care of themselves
People are old, this physical state is definitely not as good as young people, organs aging, function decline, can not be said to be 100% guaranteed health and disease-free, but at least don't get seriously ill, even if there is a chronic disease, can be well controlled, as for the dazzling deafness, arm and leg pain, in fact, it is also the norm of the elderly, as long as it is not too serious, it does not affect the normal life, it is no problem. In short, it is the blessing of the elderly to be able to take care of themselves, not to drag down their children, and not to let their children worry.
2. Eat and sleep well
It is also a blessing to be able to eat, sleep and play well when you are old. Bad teeth, poor digestion will definitely affect the normal eating of the elderly, as for sleep, when you are old, you can sleep until what time you want, but you can't sleep, these will bring a lot of trouble to the elderly. In fact, if you want me to say, everything goes with the flow, do your best to obey the destiny of God, just like this sleep, there is no need to pursue 8 hours a day, many elderly people sleep for 6 hours and their mental state is very good, so there is no need to be anxious about this. There is also diet, as long as you can eat food, eat more, and don't pursue too much.
3. Good mentality, easy to satisfy
When you are old, you must want to open something, you have lived so much, many things should be seen clearly, too entangled will only make you physically and mentally exhausted, less nosy and less serious, see everything, be optimistic, and face all kinds of life with a peaceful mind. There is also the pursuit of not too much, the requirements are not too high, don't compare with others, do your best, the elderly who are easy to satisfy, the sense of happiness will be stronger. This is probably the ideal living condition for the elderly!
Second, if you want to live healthily, so that health preservation is reliable!
The ideal is the ideal after all, in fact, many old people just want to live, but ignore the quality of life, so just like the old people above, they only know to eat health products to maintain health, but they don't know that the real health care still has to start from life.
1. Eat a rich diet and eat less health supplements
No matter how good health care products are, they are not a panacea, especially when they are not needed, they are abused and consumed excessively, which is not only beneficial but also harmful. In fact, if you want to supplement various vitamins and nutrients, the healthiest way is to eat supplements, as long as you can ensure a balanced diet every day, vegetables, fruits, meat, staple foods, whole grains, etc., you can generally meet the needs of the body. If you really need to add more, you may not necessarily follow the doctor's advice, and do not use a large amount of it at will, especially some three-no health care products, as well as health care products that are claimed by merchants to treat various diseases, don't believe it.
2. Moderate exercise and more recreational activities
When you are old, you must move, don't stay at home, exercise more, have more entertainment activities, and make more friends, which is good for your health and helps with emotional management. However, the exercise of the elderly should be done according to their ability, not excessively, according to their own physical condition, choose low- and medium-intensity aerobic exercise, the most suitable, such as walking, jogging, cycling, tai chi, square dancing, etc., can be freely chosen.
3. Stay away from tobacco and alcohol, and cultivate a few more valuable hobbies
Many elderly people have no other hobbies in their lives, so they just smoke two puffs of cigarettes and drink two sips of wine, but smoking and drinking are recognized as "health killers", and the harm to the elderly is more serious. Therefore, for the sake of personal health, you must stay away from tobacco and alcohol as soon as possible, and you may wish to cultivate a few more valuable hobbies, such as chess, cards, calligraphy, etc., which can help delay brain aging, square dance, tai chi, etc., which can help strengthen the body.
4. Have a regular schedule and maintain a calm mind
The elderly have less sleep, but the quality must be guaranteed, go to bed early and get up early, take a moderate lunch break, and the mental state will be better. And if you sleep better, your mood will be better, and your body will naturally be healthier. Of course, if you want to sleep well, your mentality is also very important, don't panic, don't be arrogant, don't take it seriously, don't drill the horns, don't care about idle things, think less, and sleep will be smoother.
5. Have regular check-ups and listen to your doctor
Don't be afraid to see a doctor, no matter where you feel uncomfortable, you must find a doctor first, avoid medical treatment, use drugs without authorization, and even use various home remedies and secret recipes, which is absolutely undesirable. In fact, there is really no need to be afraid, it is normal for the elderly to find out what is wrong, early detection and early treatment is a wise move to save money and trouble, and wait until it is serious to go to the hospital, not only to lose money and money, but also to suffer a lot. Therefore, if you are sick, find a doctor, listen to the doctor, take medicine, and don't be careless.
