In the long river of years, there is a strong old man, who has reached his old age, but he is still tall and energetic. One day, his grandson asked curiously, "Grandpa, how do you maintain such a healthy body and strong spirit?" The old man smiled, a deep light flashing in his eyes.
He said softly, "Son, because I have crossed two hurdles in my life. Sun Tzu eagerly asked, "Which two hurdles?" But the old man sold it: "I'll tell you when I get home." ”
What are these two hurdles? Why are they seen as a problem for the elderly? How do we deal with and overcome it? Next, let's unravel this mystery together.
There are two hurdles in life, and you will live a long life when you cross them"This is an ancient adage that has been passed down for thousands of years, implying that when we successfully cross these two important thresholds in life, we can usher in a longer life. What is said here"Two hurdles", which refers to the two age nodes of 73 and 84 years old.
There's a saying behind these two numbers:"Seven.
Ten. Three, eighty-four, even if you don't die, you have been lying in bed"。Because of this, the numbers 73 and 84 are considered unlucky symbols in people's minds. However, this proverb is not groundless, but contains profound cultural heritage and wisdom of life.
The first hurdle, 73 years old
On the road of life at the age of 73, the elderly are like climbing a peak and facing more challenges. In order to maintain a healthy and positive mindset, they need to put in more effort.
Appropriate physical activity, fresh air, healthy eating, enriching hobbies, and interactions with family, friends, and the community are all strong supports for a positive attitude towards life. At this important stage, seniors need to be brave enough to take every step, cherish every day, and embrace every beautiful moment of life.
The second hurdle, 84 years old
At the second important juncture of the age of 84, the elderly need to pay more attention to adequate nutrition and energy intake to maintain a healthy lifestyle. At the same time, it is also important to prevent and delay the occurrence of diseases. In addition, it is essential to maintain a positive mindset and stay engaged with family, friends, and community to add fun to life.
This passage reminds us that during these two life stages, we should pay more attention to our physical health, adjust our mindset, and actively respond to the challenges and changes in life. Only in this way can we successfully cross the threshold of life and usher in a healthier and longer life journey.
1. High incidence of cardiovascular diseases
Huang Puzhong, at the helm of the Department of Ultrasound Medicine at Jinqiu Hospital in Liaoning Province, reminds us that in China, cardiovascular disease or its risk factors are like a cunning ghost, quietly looming over the hearts of 62% of people over the age of 40. The heart, which we once regarded as the eternal beater, has begun to enter the journey of aging after the age of 40, which has become a major challenge for us to protect our heart health.
2. High incidence of cancer
According to a new study in the Chinese Cancer Research, the risk of cancer is relatively low in people under the age of 30, but after the age of 40, the risk of cancer begins to rise gradually, peaking at the advanced age of 80-84. This phenomenon seems to draw a tortuous trajectory on the scroll of life, warning us that aging is not a reason to neglect health management.
3. Bones become brittle
Dr. Zou Shien, the pinnacle of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, said seriously and seriously that women's bone strength peaks at the age of 35 and then begins to drain quietly. After the age of 40, this force decreases by 10% every ten years, and after menopause, they become the target of osteoporosis.
1. Weakening of muscle strength. As we age, the body's muscle mass and strength gradually decline, which not only affects the coordination and stability of the body, but can also lead to unexpected events such as falls.
2. Decline in cardiovascular system function. The heart and blood vessels are vital organs of the body, and as we age, the function of the cardiovascular system gradually declines, which may lead to problems such as increased blood pressure and angina.
3. Memory and cognitive ability decline. As we age, the cognitive function of the brain may decline to a certain extent, and phenomena such as memory loss and slower reflexes may become more and more obvious.
4. Decreased immunity. The immune system is an important line of defense for the body, but as we age, the immune system may gradually weaken, making the body more susceptible to disease.
First and foremost, it is crucial to maintain a positive mindset. It is inevitable that we will encounter various setbacks and difficulties in life, but we must learn to adjust our mentality and maintain an optimistic attitude. This not only improves the quality of life, but also helps to prolong life.
Secondly, developing good lifestyle habits is essential for a long and healthy life. Maintain a regular sleep schedule, get enough sleep, and avoid staying up late and getting tired. At the same time, a sensible diet is also the key to a long and healthy life. We should pay attention to a balanced diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, and reduce the intake of greasy and high-calorie foods. In addition, moderate exercise is also essential. Regular aerobic exercise, such as walking, jogging, swimming, etc., can help strengthen physical fitness and improve resistance.
In addition, maintaining good social relationships also contributes to a long and healthy life. Maintaining good communication with family, friends, and neighbors and sharing each other's lives and emotions can relieve stress and enhance mental health. At the same time, social activities can also add to the fun and meaning of life.
Finally, regular check-ups are also an important guarantee for a long and healthy life. By checking your physical condition regularly, you can detect potential health problems in time and take effective measures to avoid deterioration of your condition.
In short, if you want to live a long and healthy life, you need to start from many aspects. Maintaining a positive mindset, developing good lifestyle habits, maintaining good social relationships, and sticking to regular check-ups are all key factors in achieving this goal. Let's start now and focus on health management to build a solid foundation for our future.
