Everyone has to go through aging, and once people approach the age of 50, they will also reach the transition stage from middle age to old age.
At this time, many middle-aged people feel that time flies very quickly, and there seem to be more small physical problems, aging is coming to us in a very obvious way, some elderly people, often have legs and feet are not good, memory loss, back of the ear and other problems.
A 20-year study in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that the stage from 55 to 65 years old is the "critical" stage of health preservation, and this decade is also the transition period from middle age to old age.
If some adjustments are made during this time, it will be beneficial to prolong life and lay a good foundation for health.
Therefore, both men and women should pay attention to this decade, try to be "2 diligent and 3 lazy", and prepare for the next life in old age.
What does "2 diligence" mean?
First, be diligent
Some middle-aged and elderly people feel that they are retired and should enjoy their blessings, so they stay at home every day, or play cards and mahjong with others, and sit all day, but they don't know that sitting for a long time will easily cause a series of problems. For example, obesity, cervical spondylosis, lumbar spine pain, etc., are also easy to induce three highs, and people around 50 years old are also high-risk groups of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and sitting for a long time will undoubtedly greatly increase the incidence.
Exercise, for the body is a lot of benefits, can promote blood circulation, enhance physical fitness, speed up metabolism and so on, of course, what we call exercise, mainly refers to doing some aerobic exercise.
It is recommended to develop an exercise plan based on your own situation, exercise for at least 150 minutes a week, at least 30 minutes each time, which can be divided into five times, and the exercise is mainly based on aerobic exercises such as walking, jogging, tai chi, swimming and so on.
Second, laugh diligently
Emotions have a great impact on physical health, traditional Chinese medicine believes that emotions hurt the liver, emotions and the occurrence of diseases are also very related, and there is a certain relationship between bad emotions and gastrointestinal diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
According to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), people with an optimistic mindset live longer and can live longer than 85 years.
People who maintain an optimistic attitude for a long time have a more positive attitude towards everything, relatively speaking, the body's immunity and resistance will be better, and the function of the viscera will also be better.
What does "3 lazy" mean?
First, "too lazy to care".
Most people who live a long life have a better mentality, they will not worry about people in everything, they will be more open-minded, they rarely quarrel with others, and they rarely get angry with others.
Because "qi hurts the body", this sentence is not groundless, and it has been said earlier that there is a certain relationship between bad mood and disease.
People who are often angry will have an increased incidence of gastrointestinal diseases and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and often angry is easy to hurt the liver, and may also cause a sudden increase in blood pressure, which is even more harmful for the elderly who have cardiovascular diseases.
Second, "too lazy to eat too much".
At a certain age, the body's metabolic ability decreases, and the amount of activity also decreases, generally speaking, it is normal for appetite to decrease, but some elderly people think that eating and supplementing is health, but instead they consume too much nutrients, which is not conducive to physical health.
In particular, some foods with high salt, high fat and high sugar are not suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to eat, otherwise they will not only increase the burden on the body, but also cause obesity and increase the risk of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and other diseases.
Therefore, after the age of 55, try not to eat too much at three meals, eat well in the morning, eat enough at noon, eat less at night, reduce the intake of high-fat and high-calorie food, appropriately increase foods rich in vitamins and dietary fiber, and pay attention to nutritional matching, which can be more conducive to health.
Third, "too lazy to meddle".
When people reach this age, they have worked hard all their lives, their children are older, they have a family, and they have their own lives, we old people should also learn to enjoy life, learn to relax, take care of themselves and their wives, don't worry too much about the children's affairs, try to mix less with the lives of children and grandchildren, don't care about the nosy things that shouldn't be taken care of, don't talk too much, so that you can also reduce conflicts, family harmony, and the elderly will have a happier life in their later years.
To sum up, if you are also in the critical period of 55-65 years old, then you may wish to do the above points, whether it is diet, exercise, or mentality, try to develop a good life Xi habits, so that you can have more hope of achieving a healthy and long life.
