"Did you hear about that?! ”
Yes? Are you talking about ......?”
But no, the whole network has exploded! ”
I don't know if everyone has eaten melons in the recent gossip, the happiest thing after resuming work is to get all kinds of gossip! As a Ru in a melon field, Paipai touches and eats melons every day until his round stomach collapses on the bed with satisfaction, one word, cool!
Why do humans love to get together and eat melons? You may not believe it when you say it, because joining in the fun is the anti-aging holy hand! Reducing mortality, improving cognition, and relieving physical pain, only you can't think of it, and you can't do it without it, so in the new year, everyone will give me this melon that "eats melons and fights aging"!
If you want to talk about why eating melons has become a candidate anti-aging and longevity intervention, you have to start with a miraculous study from West China Hospital of Sichuan University.
It is said that Sichuan and Chongqing pension because of "friendly interpersonal relations" and Bashi drip board (who said that playing mahjong is not friendly), researchers from West China deeply agree. Therefore, they selected the relevant data of 28,563 elderly people aged 80-98 from the largest longevity study in China, the China Longitudinal Health and Longevity Survey (CLHLS), to carry out relevant analysis, and plan to use the data to speak.
Over the past 20 years, the average of 5 follow-up surveys per person has shown that there are significant differences in the survival time of the elderly with different social activity frequencies in their old age.
Excluding other interfering factors such as gender and education level, the researchers divided the elderly into five groups according to the frequency of social activities: never, occasionally-less than once a month, once a month-less than once a week, once a week-less than once a day, and almost every day, with a balanced age among the groups, but the mortality rates during the 20-year survey period were respectively. 0 and 74%, decreasing group-by-group[1].
Caption: Deaths of the elderly surveyed during the 20-year survey period: purple for the daily group, light blue for the weekly group, green for the monthly group, red for the occasional group, and dark blue for the never group.
That is, the more socializing, the lower the mortality rate and the longer the lifespan! Although this figure was reduced by only 10 percent in China, similar results have been found in previous studies in other countries, where socializing more than twice a day was associated with a 39 percent reduction in mortality [2].
When I found that simple socialization may be the hope of living a few more years for the elderly, I can suddenly understand the uncles and aunts who are muttering at the door of the community when they go home for the Spring Festival. Old man, you have to go out even if it's inconvenient to go out, for the sake of life! Also for more health benefits!
Improves cognition. Older people with cognitive impairment make up 10 percent of the total population4% [4], and older adults with social inactivity are more likely to develop cognitive impairment in both men and women [5]. Social activity is not only key to preventing cognitive decline [6], but also improves memory [7];
Improve visual and visual impairment.
Accumulating evidence suggests that lack of social activity is one of the important factors contributing to physical dysfunction in older adults, and that the various senses need to be used to maintain agility [8];
Older people's "chattering" social interactions can also help them feel calmer [10], avoid loneliness [11], and provide more social information instead of learning [12].
A study of more than 2,500 middle-aged people in the United States found that while most people socialize face-to-face most of the time, increasing social diversity is stronger than a single way of socializing! Not only can it better dispel loneliness, but it can also indirectly relieve physical pain and improve mental health [20].
Therefore, in daily life, in addition to friends (crazy) friends (crazy) friends (crazy) friends (8) flow (hexagrams), what other ways can the elderly choose to socialize effectively? Pie has a few tips for you.
First of all, there are definitely some people who are worried, what if they are not physically fit to go out? Online socialization is also a good option.
Some researchers have developed an "app-hosted integrated dialogue system" (picmoa), which is actually a warm family version of "**meeting", trying to improve the happiness of the elderly. The results showed that as little as 30 minutes of "online socializing" per day improved cognitive health and improved mild cognitive impairment and early dementia [5].
In addition to the modest "** meeting", online socialization can also be more relaxed and fun - games. Studies have shown that active play that uses one's own body to exercise (referred to as sports games) has both social and physical advantages, reduces depression, and has a positive impact on the physical and mental function of the elderly [21].

Of course, under the premise of conditions, offline social networking is still better than online. Studies have counted human activity during the pandemic and found that people who are only active in the digital world tend to be more introverted, with poorer health and mobility [22].
Adhering to the idea of "if the mountain doesn't come, I'll go to the mountain", if you really don't want to take the initiative to go out to socialize, you can also let others find yourself.
The main way for the contemporary elderly to "retire and re-work" is to help their children who have already started a family to take care of their children, referred to as grandchildren. But even this common and ordinary thing also contains the secret of anti-aging and longevity! Caring for grandchildren has been shown to improve cognitive function in older adults, and it is even more effective with a partner [23].
In short, there are thousands of ways to socialize, no matter what the method, you have to take the first step yourself!
People who have experienced loneliness are more reluctant to participate in social activities [24], and if they want to enjoy the dividends of active social interaction, they must start by taking the initiative to talk to others for the first time. Paipai hopes that whether it is subjective or objective, every elderly person can find someone to chat with, and they can also spend their old age happily in "social access".
In fact, the happiness of "eating melons" and joining in the fun is not only for the elderly, we also have everything!
Paipai found some interesting information in the data browsing: research shows that eating melons and other lively behaviors can not only anti-aging, prolong life and promote health, but also have immeasurable ability at work. Office workers eating melons at work can have a positive impact on their productivity, on the contrary, if employees are not actively engaged in communication at work, it can make them feel lonely and useless [25].
In addition, employees can also provide them with a sense of security [10] and promote collective cooperation [26] ......So, boss, understand? The female teacher was reported by her husband for cheating on a 16-year-old student
