According to statistics, by the end of 2021, the average life expectancy of Chinese people is 78.3 years. But it cannot be ignored that the average life expectancy of Chinese men is 75.6 years, and the average life expectancy of women is 80.1 years. means that the average life expectancy of men is close to 5 years less than that of women. Therefore, among the lonely elderly people in China now, there are obviously more women than men.
For men, being healthy is a very happy thing. A strong body is the greatest capital. But as we grow older and the aging of body tissues and organs, this capital will be gradually exhausted. Especially after the age of 70, it is a "watershed" for men.
But if a man can successfully complete the following "5 things" after he is 70 years old, it means that his health is still good, and it is likely that he is a long-lived constitution.
The first thing: adequate sleep
The so-called adequate sleep means that you can fall asleep quickly after lying down at night, get up no more than 2 times in the middle of the night, and get up on time in the morning.
Generally speaking, go to bed from 10-11 pm. Get up from 5:30 to 6:30 in the morning, this is the best time for 70-year-olds to sleep. Going to bed too late, getting up too early, or not sleeping in the middle of the night, etc. are not normal.
The second thing: Have an appetite for eating
To have a good body, you must have a good appetite. "People are iron, and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry." If you don't even want to eat food, your health will definitely not be well.
On the contrary, if a 70-year-old still has a good appetite and eats Momo, it means that the gastrointestinal function is great and the body will naturally be good. But one thing you need to remember is that even if you have a good appetite, don’t eat too much. Just follow the principle of “eat good breakfast, eat full lunch, and eat less dinner”.
The third thing: smooth bowel movements
Whether the bowel movements are smooth is an important symbol of a person's health and longevity. Only when a person can eat and go out side by side is the key element of health. If a person suffers from constipation for a long time, toxins will easily accumulate in the body, which is definitely not good for the body.
The elderly should develop the habit of regular bowel movements. For example, getting up in the morning to drain your night bath is the best lifestyle habit. Everyone can consciously persist and exercise, and over time, habits will gradually form, which is very beneficial to their health.
The fourth thing: Flexible legs and feet
As the saying goes, "As aged person, his legs will grow old." This is indeed the case. If a person walks with money and struggles, it means that his physical functions must have been seriously aged.
So, everyone must exercise their legs and feet more often and keep their legs and feet flexible. The easiest way is to soak your feet in hot water every night. After drying, massage the soles of your feet with your hands until they are rubbed and heated, and the two feet alternately take place, the time is about half an hour to an hour.
The fifth thing: regular outdoor exercise
Life lies in exercise. Everyone knows the benefits of exercise. Therefore, 70-year-olds should insist on going into nature and conducting outdoor activities. You can also perform dancing, mountain climbing and other exercises, but it should not be too vigorous.
Outdoor exercise is not the longer the better, it must be done in moderation. Now everyone has a pedometer, it is best to control it at about 8,000 steps a day. At the same time, do not go out for activities in the dark to prevent falling. The best time for activities is 8:00-9:30 in the morning and 15:30-17:00 in the afternoon.
In short, it is very important for 70-year-olds to maintain a "young heart". Don't feel that you dare not do anything when you are old. You must form rules and develop habits. The inertia of your body will naturally continue, and health and longevity will always be with you!
