Uncle Li has always maintained the Xi of exercise, but as he gets older, he feels that his body is gradually not as good as before. However, he still looks young compared to his peers. He believed that this was the result of his long-term adherence to exercise, so he never considered abandoning the Xi. However, recently he came across an article online claiming that seniors over the age of 60 should choose resting instead of exercising, as it is more conducive to longevity. This view baffled him because it contradicted his own long-standing view. He began to wonder if he should really stop exercising after the age of 60. Is exercise still good for his health? He decided to consult a doctor for professional advice. Doctors told him that while aging can lead to a decline in physical functioning, exercise is still good for the health of the elderly. Moderate exercise can help older adults build muscles, maintain flexibility, and improve cardiorespiratory fitness. In addition, exercise helps maintain mental health and reduce anxiety and depression. Therefore, Uncle Li was very happy when he learned the news. He decided to continue his exercise Xi while paying more attention to a reasonable diet and rest. He realized that a healthy body and a good mind could only be maintained through comprehensive health measures.
After the age of 60, many elderly people will obviously feel that their body is aging, is this their delusion or normal physiological manifestation? According to a study published by Harvard University in the journal Nature Medicine, protein levels in the human body fluctuate throughout life, but at the age of 34, 60, and 78, there are particularly noticeable changes.
34 years old: The aging of the kidneys begins around the age of 30, and the most obvious changes in aging after the age of 50 are manifested as decreased kidney function, inflammation and increased fibrosis. In addition to the kidneys, the aging of ** is also obvious after the age of 30, which is manifested by increased wrinkles and decreased metabolic repair ability.
60 years old: People in this age group will experience a full aging of organ function and exercise ability, and a study in Neurology pointed out that after the age of 65, brain volume decreases at a rate of 7 cubic centimeters per year. At this time, the risk of cardiovascular disease increases significantly, and the risk of coronary artery disease in men over the age of 60 is as high as 75%.
78 years old: Aging at this time is mainly reflected in the occurrence of diseases, including myocardial infarction, heart failure, Alzheimer's disease and other age-related diseases, and the incidence will increase significantly after the age of 70. At the same time, the various functions of the body will gradually decline.
Longevity criterion 1Regulate your emotions and don't get angry!
Maintain liver and stabilize blood pressure].
The Yellow Emperor's Neijing mentions: "People have five internal organs, and they turn into five qi, and they are born with joy, anger, sorrow, and fear." "Joy belongs to the heart in the five organs, anger belongs to the liver in the five organs, sorrow and sorrow belong to the lungs in the five organs, thoughts belong to the spleen in the five organs, and fear and surprise belong to the kidneys in the five organs.
Therefore, in traditional Chinese medicine, there are sayings such as "great joy and sadness", "more sorrow and more sadness of the lungs", "anger hurts the liver", "too much thinking hurts the spleen" and "more fear of hurting the kidneys".
Although people who are often angry vent their emotions and release stress at the moment of anger, the body is like a notepad of the mind, and every injury invisibly affects our health.
When mood swings are great, the body secretes a substance called "catecholamines", which will increase blood sugar and increase toxins in blood and liver cells, which in turn affects the liver's detoxification function.
Therefore, those who are in a bad mood generally have weaker liver function, and their worries and sorrows about diseases also cause damage to the spleen and lungs.
Under such a vicious circle, three of the five internal organs will be damaged, and over time, people's complexion will become dull, and there will be no more youthful vitality.
In order to maintain health and longevity, we should be calm about the trivial things in life, get less angry and smile more. No matter what happens, we should take it calmly and face it calmly.
If there is a problem, solve it, and if it can't be solved, let it go. In this way, we can lay a good foundation for the health of the body, and we can live as we like in the future, live up to ourselves and our children.
Longevity criterion twoEat modestly, don't eat too much!
Maintain the stomach and intestines and prevent obesity].
There is a popular saying: "The people take food as the sky." "Eating is something that each of us does every day. In the face of food, some people taste it lightly, and some people have to eat until they can't straighten their waists, which is called not wasting food, but this kind of diet Xi habitual and will have great potential harm to our body.
There is such a sentence in the Yellow Emperor's Neijing: "Eating and drinking is self-doubling, and the stomach is hurting." "Long-term overeating will lead to overnutrition and obesity; In severe cases, there will be a burden on the liver and stomach, leading to diseases and even cancer.
Therefore, Buddhism has a saying: "When you receive all kinds of food and drink, you should take medicine as if you were taking medicine, so that the good is better than the evil, and do not increase or decrease." That is, take the diet as a medicine, not a picky eater, in order to cure the idea of greedy for good food, you can also think about the amount of seven or eight points full in advance, and never eat more after eating.
Timing and quantification, the spleen is the main letter, the believer is credit, punctuality, and punctuality is faith. "The ancients advocated moderation in diet, which is in line with the middle way, which is not only beneficial to personal health, but also brings good atmosphere to society.
Modern life is stressful, especially when people reach middle age, there are old mothers to be honored, children to be fed, it is inevitable to drink for entertainment, and the usual diet is greasy and messy.
For the sake of our health, we can set aside two days a week for fasting to give the body a certain hunger feeling, so that the cells can remain active and make us live longer.
Longevity criterion threeThere is a lot of daily life, and Mo electronic products do not leave your hands!
Avoid staying up late and stay asleep].
Mu Xin once described: "In the past, the sun became slower, and the carriages, horses, and mail were slow. However, with the rapid progress of science and technology, electronic products are pouring into thousands of households like a tide, and fast-paced lifestyles such as short ** and live broadcast have made countless information fill our lives every minute. It was as if we were caught up in a huge whirlpool, and the more we struggled, the deeper we sank into it. Especially as we get older, we are more and more reluctant to be disconnected from the world, so we can only constantly swipe the page on our mobile phones to filter out information that is closely related to life.
The more I looked, the more I felt the novelty and complexity of the world. As a result, no matter whether adults or children, no matter when and where, everyone is staring at the mobile phone screen, with anxious eyes and heavy thoughts.
Our nights are getting longer, our eyes are blurry, and our spirits are getting sluggish. This kind of life is eroding our bodies bit by bit.
When people reach middle age, their bodies are no longer as strong as they were when they were young, every time they stay up late becomes a provocation to their bodies, and every time they can't put down their mobile phones is a perfunctory to life.
You must know that all the gifts given by fate have already been secretly marked**. We seem to have bought time and entertained ourselves, but in fact we have lost our health and precious time with our families.
In order to maintain a healthy body, we should keep our mobile phones away from the bedside when we sleep at night, or turn them off. Learn to say "no" to electronic products, and take a break when it's time to rest, and having a regular routine is the best way to help us live a long and healthy life.
As *** said: "The body is the capital of the revolution!" "Health is the premise of all good life, at all times.
Only when you are healthy can you enjoy the time you spend with your family, can you not drag down your children, and can you have a fulfilling and beautiful future.
Let's follow the path of health, keep our bodies healthy, enrich our souls, enrich our future lives, and live to be 100 years old without worries!
