It is normal for the body to have these few changes
You're just old, not sick!After the age of 55, it is normal for the body to have these changes.
1. Blood sugar is not within the standard range, and the metabolic function of aging people decreases, and the ability of pancreatic islets will also be disordered, so it is impossible to store glycogen in time, which makes the blood sugar concentration slightly higher.
In this case, there is no need to panic, a little more understandable, if the usual maintenance is very good, only occasionally will exceed the standard range, don't worry.
Eat a healthy diet and eat less foods that are high in oil, sweetness and salt. Exercise a lot, there is no need to take medicine. If it exceeds the standard for a long time and fluctuates greatly, you need to see a doctor in this case.
2. When blood pressure is high, the blood vessels develop in a smooth and elastic state. With the passage of age, the blood vessels will also be narrowed, which indirectly leads to the obstruction of the lack of circulation, resulting in ischemia and hypoxia on the surface of the blood vessel wall.
If the blood vessel wall is in a hardened state, it will cause the surface of the blood vessel to shrink abnormally, increase the resistance of blood oxygen, and induce hypertension symptoms. If you don't have dizziness or headache, you can relax.
Transient elevation of systolic blood pressure in the elderly is a normal physiological phenomenon, and indirectly regulating the individual's diet and insisting on appropriate aerobic exercise will avoid the inducement of hypertension symptoms.
3. Joint sorenessMany elderly people suffer from knee osteoarthritis, which is a degenerative disease of synovial joints, and joint pain is its typical symptom. At the same time, it is accompanied by joint hypertrophy and deformation, cartilage wear and degeneration, and joint synovial inflammation, which can cause joint stiffness and dysfunction in severe cases, but it can be relieved as long as you pay more attention to rest.
4. Bone hyperplasia, bone lossMany menopausal people will have this kind of pain, that kind of pain, body aches, waist and knee pain, simply climbing stairs and running, and dare not take a big step.
It is joint hyperplasia or osteoporosis caused by aging, bone loss, and unprotected muscles, and more calcium supplements are necessary to improve joint problems.
5. Frequent constipation with the increase of age, the amount of food and physical activity of the elderly is significantly reduced, the secretion of digestive juices from the gastrointestinal tract is reduced, the tension and peristalsis of the intestinal tract are weakened, the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles are weak, the internal and external sphincter is weakened, the gastrocolic reflex is weakened, and the rectal sensitivity is reduced. Leaving food in the intestines for too long and excessive absorption of water causes constipation.
In addition, most of the elderly are very fond of eating delicate foods and lack crude fiber. This leads to a decrease in stool volume, increased viscosity, slow movement in the intestines, and excessive absorption of water, resulting in constipation.
6. Memory lossIf you forget what you want in your life, many elderly people will wonder if you are going to have Alzheimer's disease, that is, Alzheimer's disease.
In fact, after the age of 35, brain cells will begin to gradually decrease, and muscle strength will slowly decline. But if the situation is not particularly serious, there is generally no need to overdo it, because this is also a very common phenomenon, you can do more brain exercises and eat more brain foods in your life.
At the age of 55, he entered the "critical period" of longevityAt this time, it is recommended to do these 3 things well in life.
1. Proper sun exposure is helpful when prolonging life, and the aging rate of the body will accelerate after the age of 55, and calcium will be lost.
Women mostly enter menopause at this stage, the secretion of estrogen is significantly reduced, the absorption of calcium is slow, and there is a risk of calcium deficiency. Calcium loss and failure to replenish it in time may lead to osteoporosis, which can lead to bone damage and easy fractures.
It is helpful to enhance physical fitness through proper sun exposure, and can also allow the body to synthesize vitamins normally, so that calcium can be absorbed quickly, which is also an effective way to maintain health.
2. Exercising and participating in physical activities in the morning can effectively help our body to enhance its resistance, and will also accelerate the blood circulation of our whole body, thereby protecting blood vessels and reducing the risk of vascular diseases.
Exercising in the morning can also help our body burn off excess fat, so that we can maintain a good and healthy body and reduce the occurrence of obesity.
