Lao Zhang has been retired for 7 years, but he is a well-known "young man, health star" in the community, why does this sound very contradictory, isn't it, an elderly man in his 60s, how can he still be a "young man"?
In fact, it is the elderly friends in their community and the original unit who call him "young man", so called him because his life Xi and personal state give people a very young feeling from the inside out.
For example, he insists on exercising every day, going to the gym regularly, whether it is eating at home or going out to the restaurant when everyone gathers, he pays great attention to nutritional matching, meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits and oils, and eats healthy and balanced nutrition, rather than like other elderly friends, who feel that eating light "porridge and side dishes" is healthy.
He is in very good physical condition, the doctor can't believe his age every time he has a physical examination, and he also has a group of young friends in the community who participate in activities such as mountain climbing and camping, and this year he is ready to sign up for a marathon.
And Lao Zhang is still very enthusiastic, if someone comes to him to ask him how to maintain, he is willing to share, to sum up, he suggests that elderly friends, if you want to live a long and healthy life, you must pay attention to 5 things.
First thing
Poor eating Xi
There is such a saying".You eat it yourselfWith its concise and direct expression, this sentence emphasizes the importance of dietary Xi for our health.
Unhealthy eating habits, such as excessive intake of foods high in sugar, salt and carbohydrates, and neglecting a balanced intake of nutrients, may lead to a series Xi of health problems.
These problems can be obesity, high blood pressure, and even diabetes. These diseases not only cause suffering to patients, but also place a heavy burden on families and society.
Therefore, healthy eating Xi is essential to prevent disease.
THING 2
Negative emotions and stress
Emotional and psychological states are crucial to the impact on health, and negative emotions such as anger, anxiety, depression, and long-term mental stress can have a negative impact on the body.
The ancients said: "Happy people live long." This quote underscores the importance of maintaining a good mood and peace of mind.
Studies have shown that positive emotions and optimism can boost the function of the immune system, thereby reducing the risk of disease.
On the contrary, negative emotions and long-term mental stress may cause damage to the immune system, making the individual susceptible to various diseases.
Therefore, maintain good mental health and learn to deal positively with setbacks and stresses in your life. This is not only a kind of wisdom, but also a life experience accumulated over the years.
The third thing
Inappropriate exercise and lifestyle
Lack of moderate exercise and poor lifestyle is an important cause of disease, and Lao Zhang, who loves sports, also said: "At our age, no matter how much we like sports, we must also understand that we can't mess around, after all, all aspects of the body are still not as good as when we were in our twenties and thirties." ”
Moderate exercise can promote blood circulation, improve cardiopulmonary function, and enhance the body's resistance. At the same time, unhealthy lifestyles, such as staying up late, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, etc., may also harm physical health.
We need to maintain a moderate level of physical activity and stay away from bad lifestyle Xi, which will help maintain good health and prevent many chronic diseases.
THING 4
Physical discomfort or pain
In layman's terms, pain is the discomfort that manifests itself in the body, which may be soreness, tingling, swelling pain, etc., but the international definition of pain is: unpleasant feelings and emotional experiences caused by tissue damage or underlying tissue damage. In 2001, the World Health Organization has listed pain as the fifth vital sign after body temperature, respiration, pulse and blood pressure, which means that pain scores are also required to be recorded in medical records.
Data show that more than 300 million people in China are suffering from chronic pain, pain has become the third largest health problem after cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, tumors, the National Health Commission and other departments this year issued the "comprehensive pain management pilot work plan", and identified more than 900 coverage of multi-level, various types of pilot hospitals.
Pain not only affects us physically and mentally, but also may have adverse effects on the central nervous system, circulatory, respiratory, endocrine, digestive and autonomic nervous systems and lead to pathological changes, and even seriously affect the normal life of patients.
The correct notion should be:Pain is not only a symptom that accompanies the course of the disease, it is a disease or syndrome in itself. Therefore, the pain should be comprehensive, not only to relieve the pain, but also to relieve the disease itself and the psychological changes it produces.
Pay attention to pain, early ** is the first choice, according to statistics, chronic waist and leg joint pain has become the third most important disease in China's medical resource burden, Shanshi health manager reminds you that for the sake of good health, you must pay attention to early conditioning, do not feel that patience is over, bring greater trouble to the body.
Thing 5
Sleep disorders such as inability to fall asleep and waking up early

At the same time, Good-Style Health was found in a study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA).Insomnia is associated with an increased risk of 9 cardiovascular diseases, including ischemic stroke, pulmonary embolism, coronary heart disease, heart failure, hypertension, and atrial fibrillation.
