The advanced health regimen for the elderly, away from disputes over right and wrong
In the later years of our lives, we finally understand that high-end health care is not only about eating some health products and walking in the park, but more importantly, about inner tranquility. A good attitude is the foundation of health and longevity.
Uncle Zhang is 78 years old this year and was a factory floor director before his retirement. In the years of retirement, he has lived a leisurely life, eating and drinking well and exercising every day. But just a few years ago, Uncle Zhang suddenly began to lose his temper with his family often, and smashed the TV with the remote control at every turn. It turned out that it was because when he watched the news, he was always dissatisfied with this and that unpleasant, and he was easy to get angry when he watched everything.
Mrs. Zhang was very helpless, she persuaded Uncle Zhang: "Look at it, people of our age, what are you doing when you are so angry?" Anger is not good for the body. Uncle Zhang also woke up a little when he heard this, but he couldn't change his temper for a while.
Until one day, Uncle Zhang suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and was taken to the hospital by his family. The doctor said it was too much mood swing that triggered a heart attack. During those days in the hospital, Uncle Zhang reflected on his life and realized that his temper was indeed too great. Since then, he has been determined to get rid of it.
Uncle Zhang learned not to quarrel in case of trouble. Whether it's watching the news or communicating with his family, he tries to keep a calm mind. If you have anything to say, you can communicate well instead of getting angry at every turn. He found that his temper was improving little by little, and his body became healthier.
Uncle Zhang learned to reflect on himself. Each of us is not perfect, and we all have some shortcomings and shortcomings. Uncle Zhang began to reflect on his words and deeds often to see what he was not doing well, instead of resting on his laurels and being complacent. In this way, his way of doing things has become more tactful and sophisticated.
Accept your true self and savor life quietly
In addition to learning to reflect on himself and maintain a peaceful mind, Uncle Zhang also learned to accept his true self. Many elderly people are unwilling to accept the reality of their aging and always do things that go against the laws of nature, such as taking various health supplements and pursuing the lifestyle of young people all day long. Uncle Zhang realized that this would not only not be good for his physical and mental health, but would increase the burden on his body.
He began to learn to embrace his old age and live the lifestyle he liked. In the morning, he will soak a pot of fragrant Tieguanyin and taste it slowly. The sun was shining warmly in the courtyard, a few sparrows were chirping on the branches, and Uncle Zhang was sitting on a wicker chair, closing his eyes and taking a nap or flipping through the books in his hands. This quiet time made his mind relax like never before.
In the afternoon, Uncle Zhang sometimes went for a walk in the park or played a few games of chess with his wife. In the evening, the whole family would sit around and have a reunion dinner, talking and laughing. The days are free, although there is no youthful sharpness, but the heart is unprecedentedly calm and calm.
Uncle Zhang said with deep feelings: "Living to old age, learning to be pampered and not frightened, and to live without worry, this is the highest way of health preservation." When I was young, I always competed for fame and fortune and was ambitious, but in my later years, I found that living a simple life is the happiest thing. ＂
Yes, the elderly must learn to let go of all the obsessions in their hearts. Don't always pursue things that are beyond your ability, and don't have too many expectations and requirements for life. Only when you learn to be indifferent to fame and fortune and not be shocked by humiliation can you truly be relieved.
Less desire is less worry, contentment and happiness is the real health
In addition to learning to be pampered and not frightened, indifferent to fame and fortune, the most important thing for the elderly is to have less desire and less worry. Uncle Zhang said with deep understanding: "When people are old, they must learn to reduce their desires and not want everything." Only by being content and enjoying the present moment can the heart be pure and at ease. ＂
When we are young, we are always greedy for fame, money, and status, and we always feel that we are not satisfied. But when we are old, we realize that those things that seem glamorous do not actually bring true happiness. On the contrary, the more you desire, the greater you are, and you will fall into endless troubles.
An old partner of Uncle Zhang is a typical "insatiable desire". After the old man retired, he relied on his salary savings for many years, and his life was relatively surplus. But he always felt that it was not enough, and always wanted to make a windfall and live a more prosperous life. He became addicted to opportunistic behaviors such as buying lottery tickets and speculating in stocks. As you can imagine, not only did he not make money, but he also lost his pension.
This old man can only send people under the fence and rely on his children to help him live. His life was very painful, and he was always sad and depressed. Looking at his appearance, Uncle Zhang was deeply touched: "If he could be like me, contented and happy and live in the moment, he would not end up like this." ＂
Yes, the most important thing that the elderly should learn is to be content. Don't always covet what you can't get, but cherish what you have. Only if you don't have too many desires in your heart can you live a truly comfortable life.
