We've all heard the saying: if you don't take care of yourself today, you will be a doctor tomorrow. Wellness, as the name suggests, is to nourish life. How to nourish it, everyone has a different approach.
I'm 56 years old. After retiring last year, I have been taking care of my baby. Because I started to take the baby illegally, I was in a hurry, I was in a hurry to eat, and I didn't get enough sleep every night, which seriously affected my health. Later, I slowly figured out a set of methods, not only to raise the child to be white and fat, but also to make my body no longer hurt here today and itchy there tomorrow. These health methods do not cost a penny, and they can be easily done while taking the baby.
The first is to nourish emotions
For our retired aunts who take the baby all day long, there are many things, many clues, physical exhaustion, and the daughter-in-law's concept of raising a baby is different, it is inevitable to collide from time to time, if you don't grasp the emotions well, then anger is an inevitable thing.
Because emotions are like water, when emotions are stable, they are a trickle, nourishing all things; When it is unstable, it is a roaring wave, which can drown everything in an instant. If you care about your daughter-in-law's attitude, then you lose. Some people can't hold back a big quarrel with their daughter-in-law, some people don't dare to argue with their daughter-in-law, they are sulking by themselves, and if they do this for a long time, it will be a great harm to their body! "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" says that people have seven emotions and six desires, joy and sadness, anger hurts the liver, sorrow hurts the lungs, thoughts hurt the spleen, and fear hurts the kidneys. All diseases are born of anger.
I'm one of those sulking people, and I burp all my life, accompanied by pain in my ribs. Excessive emotions will hurt the body, when encountering things are not calm, impulsive, can not control emotions, such the most destructive emotions, will crush our already downhill body.
We know that anger can do more harm than good. There is nothing in the world that is harmful to health than anger.
Sometimes I can't say it angrily, that is, when I say "angry", is it hoarse, roaring like thunder, and out of breath?
Sometimes you can't say that you are afraid of affecting the harmony of your child's family, and you hold it alone, which is "stuffy"; sighing all day long, my chest is stuffy, and I feel like I'm going to ** at any time.
Sometimes knowing that he and his daughter-in-law can't have general knowledge, and even having a hard time arguing is the so-called "wronged". I feel that I am more wronged than Dou E, I have done so much, no one is distressed and no one understands, I am very wronged, the more I think about it, the more angry I become?
"Qi" is closely related to physical health, if "the heart is not happy, then the qi is not smooth", Qi will make your body blocked, the meridians of the whole body are blocked, there will be pain, immunity will decrease, and the pain will naturally come to the door.
All of this is emotional. Therefore, controlling your emotions is a good way to maintain your health. Although they do what they can, it is their business whether their sons and daughters-in-law appreciate it or not, and it is good for them to have a clear conscience, since they are willing to take their grandchildren, they must be prepared to sacrifice. Including dignity and face. Talk less, do more, parenting things, don't get attached to your own experience, science is the most important. What children can do on their own, you learn not to say a word. As the saying goes: only the fish that open their mouths will be baited, and if you don't open your mouth, you won't attract bad words.
To nourish life, first of all, manage your emotions and be a happy and healthy retiree!
The second type: belly nourishment
To raise the amount of belly, it is necessary to be generous. Don't take anything personally. Returning to the family from the unit, no matter how powerful you were in the unit before, vigorous and resolute, the iron lady who is in charge alone, return to your own family, especially with your son and daughter-in-law, you must put away the edge, become soft, consider everything from the perspective of the children, keep pace with the times, do not require the children to do things according to your ideas, understand and respect everyone's differences, especially the daughter-in-law. Don't fight for everything to be high and low, and you have to think out a meaning repeatedly in a sentence, which will make the family smoky.
In the face of the children's dissatisfaction, we must learn to comfort and give the children space to grow, even if the daughter-in-law pretends not to see it even if she looks at it, and comforts herself that maybe she is unhappy because of things at work. As far as he was concerned, he would not resolve the embarrassment, so he asked her if she was unwell and her face was not good-looking. It is far more comfortable to let the daughter-in-law feel that her attitude is wrong than to quarrel. When you have a big heart, you can fit anything, let alone your own children?
Only in this way can you make your retirement life calm and less turbulent, and you can practice sitting and watching the clouds roll up and laugh at the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court.
The third type: habit cultivation
When we go to work, we rush to eat a few bites every day, for fear of being late, and we don't have time to cook a good meal for ourselves. After retiring, we had a lot of free time to cook for our babies and correct our previous gobbling up eating habits. For example, not only drink millet porridge every day, but also accompany a nutritious and comprehensive breakfast. Eggs, soy milk, self-made bread, a plate of sauced beef, a plate of small green vegetables, put together in your favorite way, enjoy the charm of slow life, not only nourish yourself and your children's body, but also enjoy your mood, live exquisitely, no longer mess around, no longer eat leftovers, slowly change the bad habits of the past, learn children to live a life with a sense of ritual, so that every day is full of joy and beauty.
Learn to stew more soups, make fancy pasta, children like it, and they don't have the kung fu to think nonsense, good habits will make our physical and mental health, why not?
Fourth: nourishing the mind
After retirement, I spend most of my time with my children. Hard work is hard work, but the happiness that children bring us is irreplaceable by anything. Children's poop and pee farts are what we do every day. Afraid of the child's red buttocks, except at night, I will not wear diapers for the child, so I have to hand wash more than a dozen children's diapers a day, sometimes irritable, fingers hurt badly, but when I see the child's lovely face, smell the milk fragrance on the child's body, the kind of happiness from the heart arises spontaneously, and what kind of hard work is forgotten. Slowly hone your mind by doing the same thing over and over again, so that it is soft, let it accept, and let it always have the ability to enjoy the happiness brought by the joy of family.
Compared with the days when you follow orders at work and have someone to control your emotions, this kind of free and casual slow time allows us to have more time to enjoy food, enjoy the time with our loved ones, and run our family in harmony and harmony, which is also a kind of success.
The mood is relaxed, the mood is naturally open, the wall is thousands of miles, and there is no desire. The mind enjoys the blessings brought by goodness in the midst of tolerance again and again.
In your spare time, listen to **, read books, raise flowers, don't have to gather crowds, don't gossip, and can't draw swords and crossbows in case of trouble, aggressive. Enjoy a quiet time, listen to the flowers bloom, and slow down the fireworks in the world.
After retirement, learn to make peace with everything, be at peace with differences, introspect, be natural, and be at peace.
Fifth: Raise a hobby
After retirement, my body felt uncomfortable from time to time, and I really felt what it means to know the destiny of fifty and became more aware of the importance of physical health. I usually brush the headlines, Douyin, I see the breadth and profundity of traditional Chinese medicine, I often follow the anchor to know the acupuncture points, learn pediatric massage, and I am uncomfortable with the symptoms given by the anchor, and learn to see a doctor myself. Deeply in love with Chinese medicine. As soon as I have time, I look at the acupuncture point map, press it here, knead there, and I can also call the name of many Chinese medicines, and the medicinal properties of some Chinese herbs are also slightly known, and the Chinese herbs I usually buy back are also roughly judged to be right or wrong. Although I know a little bit about it, I believe that if I persist, I will have a different harvest, which will be of great benefit to myself and my family. If my grandson is a little unwell, I will also control the symptoms and try not to give the child Western medicine or water. If you can eat as much as possible. Or massage, massage can alleviate one or two.
Sixth: nourish your appetite
Nowadays, people are not lacking in nutrition, but overnutrition, and the three-high people like me are getting bigger and bigger. As we age, our digestive organs also decline, so how much you eat is critical. Neither can you eat and drink, see what you like to eat until you can't straighten your waist, and taboo not to eat staple foods for the sake of your figure, only eat fruits and vegetables, and forget eggs, beans, milk and meat.
When it comes to how much to eat, the ancients had a saying: eat half full. It's called half-starved, half-hungry, not having enough to eat, and not feeling hungry.
My experience is to eat less fruits that are not in season, such as watermelon in winter, eat more coarse grains, ensure smooth toileting, and eat yellow millet and corn, which have many benefits for nourishing the stomach.
Secondly, the nutrition should be balanced to ensure that the daily intake of protein is enough for the body. A boiled egg, a glass of milk, or a cup of soy milk, a few slices of beef. Remember the old saying: eat like an emperor in the morning and eat like a beggar in the evening. Indeed, when people are old, they are most taboo to eat too much dinner, and they can't sleep all night after eating too much, which seriously affects their sleep.
Therefore, it is best to have a slight hunger at each meal, and not to eat if you can skip dinner, so as to maintain the motivation of life.
Seventh: Yang Qi
Yang Qi is an indispensable righteous energy in the human body, and if Yang Qi is lacking, people will be invaded by cold Qi, and the blood and Qi in the body will not run smoothly, and the body will be in pain. Basking in the sun is the most cost-effective way to increase yang energy.
Every day at 10 o'clock in the morning, it is my must do to go out to bask in the sun with my children. Under the sun, stretch your arms and kick your legs and soak up the warmth of the sun.
Basking in the sun is far more beneficial than morning exercise, but many people are busy with work can not enjoy this blessing, retired people, must remember to sit in the sun, or go out to exercise in the sun at ten o'clock, improve the body's immunity, so that the body is healthy, without spending money, you can improve the yang energy in the body, force away the cold in the body, more cost-effective things.
Eighth: Nourish sleep
Whether you sleep well or not directly affects people's physical health, sleep well, eat well, and have a good mental state; Poor sleep, bad food, poor mental state.
Now it's not just young people who can't do without mobile phones, but retired old people like me are also silly enjoying holding a mobile phone every day. As soon as Douyin swiped, it was midnight before I knew it. Squatting in my favorite live broadcast room for a few hours, when the child sleeps, I am swiping my mobile phone, knowing that this is not good, but I am not self-disciplined, until I lack sleep and am dizzy.
Therefore, I strongly recommend that middle-aged and elderly people should not look at their mobile phones at nine o'clock in the evening, soak their feet, massage themselves, or sit quietly with their heads empty, create a good sleeping environment, give enough sleep time, and will definitely improve the quality of sleep.
The second is to develop a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early to protect your health. After retirement, many people have irregular work and rest time because of their abundant time, which is a bad habit that must be changed. With a regular life, a controlled diet, and things to do, our retirement life can also be exciting and vibrant.
After retirement, health preservation is not only exercise, not only tinkering with this health tea and that health pillow, you may wish to try these eight kinds of health.
Especially for grandmothers and grandmothers like me who take care of their babies every day, we must not only take care of our children, but also take care of ourselves, take good care of ourselves, do not cause chaos to our children, and live with dignity ourselves.
The key is that we must persevere, persistence is victory, and persistence is to return a better self to the family.
Sisters, who still have a good health regimen, you might as well talk about it. Everyone is welcome to leave a message.
