Let’s talk about the health and longevity of the elderly and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude. importance.
Healthy aging, it is important to maintain an optimistic attitude
As we age, we will gradually age, whether it is friends who are entering the old age or those who are already old, think To ensure the quality of life in old age, it is particularly important to have a good body. As the proportion of aging population in our country continues to increase, how to achieve healthy aging is a very important aspect. I will often give you some knowledge about the health of the elderly, and I have also received many messages and discussions from elderly friends. One of the very common sayings is-" people have a good attitude when they are old, more than anything else. Important! "This is indeed true. A positive and optimistic attitude is a very important aspect for the physical and mental health of the elderly and achieving the goal of healthy aging.
In fact, life is always testing us, and the elderly may face more problems, such as physical health problems, death of relatives, problems with children, etc., all of which are "bad things" that people may encounter when they are old. "Heart problem", but if you can maintain positive thinking and choose an optimistic and grateful attitude to face life, compared with daily worry, anxiety, annoyance and insomnia, the impact on physical health will be positive and negative, and the health and life expectancy will be affected. It's quite different.

In another study on the lifespan of the elderly, after considering and excluding the effects of gender, wealth, and overall health, the positive Thinking, optimistic people, their life expectancy has been extended by an average of 7.5 years.
The impact of good mentality and physical health is two-way. Good physical health can bring good mood.

How to maintain an optimistic attitude, it is important to do well in 6 aspects
Seeing this, some friends may say that this is "stands and talks, but you don’t have backache", you didn’t run into it. These things, you don’t have the pains in my body, what's the point of keeping a good attitude? It’s really hard to do it. Speaking of this, I can't help but think of a small Buddhist story. A woman's beloved son passed away just a few days after he was born. She was in great grief and looked everywhere for a way to resurrect her son. Someone told him that there was a wise man Buddha_ span2span, there might be a way, so this woman got to know the Buddha, and the Buddha said: "As long as you can find a family that has never died before, and use his family or lit incense to see me, I can help you." , So the woman looked for it hopefully, but every family she asked told her: "We are very willing to help you, but I am sorry that someone died in my family." After some searching, the woman finally understood that death is. The only way for people to go, and grief stopped.
What I want to tell you about this story is that although the experiences are different, every family has hard-to-read sutras. If we are not in a good state of mind,Everyone will have a lot of troubles and distresses of this and that, and things are fickle, and life is unsatisfactory, and it is the normal state of the world. Therefore, whether we can be positive and optimistic is closely related to the life we are living, but Whether we can do it or not is mainly up to ourselves. Everyone must have heard the story of a half-full glass. A glass filled with half water will sigh when a pessimistic person sees it: alas, there is only half left, while an optimistic person will happily say: still Fortunately, there is still half a glass of water to drink! Therefore, a good attitude can be created by ourselves, and if we want to maintain a good attitude, we might as well pay attention to the following 6 aspects.
