The decade of 60 and 70 years old can be said to be a more critical period of longevity.
During this period, aging intensifies, and the health of the human body enters a "turbulent period", and if you don't pay attention to it, it is easy to have big problems!
Take care of the "important juncture" of aging
The Yellow Emperor's Neijing, Suwen, and Ancient Innocence Treatise wrote, "Seven or eight liver qi fails, and the tendons can't move." ”
That is, when the human body is around the age of 60, there will be problems of true qi failure, deterioration of muscles and bones, and the human body's functions will change greatly, and it will not gradually stabilize until after the age of 70.
This is also proven by modern medical research.
A study published in the journal Nature Medicine found that aging does not occur at a uniform rate, and there may be a sudden physiological turning point of "quantitative to qualitative change".
The age of 60 is one of the important turning points, and at this age, a lot of changes can occur in the body.
If you want to live a long and healthy life, it is very important to grasp this stage.
When you're over 60, remember 5 tips for a long and healthy life

The body type is "plump" point
"Plump" does not mean to be obese, but not to be too thin.
We all know that obesity is a risk factor for many chronic noncommunicable diseases, but being too thin in older people can also lead to reduced immunity and an increased risk of death.
The appropriate body mass index (BMI) for older adults is 200～26.9。
Exercise a little more outdoors
Outdoor exercise in the sun is beneficial to the synthesis of vitamin D in the human body, delaying the occurrence and development of osteoporosis and muscle attenuation.
When the weather is warm and sunny, the elderly can go outdoors to walk, brisk walk, do exercises, square dance, play tai chi, play tai chi sword and other activities.

However, when people get older, as soon as they get emotional, their heartbeat will accelerate, their blood pressure will also rise, and their organs cannot keep up, which may cause myocardial ischemia and even induce coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction.
Therefore, the elderly should learn not to be in a hurry, calm and calm, and try their best to cultivate the demeanor of "Mount Tai collapses in front of the same color", not in a hurry, not careful, calm and less sick.
If you are sick, see early
Many elderly people often make do with their physical discomfort after they have uncomfortable symptoms, and they delay again and again, and they will go to the hospital only when they can't stand it.
In this way, it is very likely to drag a minor illness into a major illness, and a treatable disease into an incurable disease, which will not only make you miserable, but also increase your financial burden.
