I am "family vegetable shopping". Every day, buy, buy, buy, buy. I have come into contact with many people and have more strange stories. Most of the people they come into contact with are elderly people. Why? There are roughly three reasons: First, the elderly have time and no longer go to work, and they are idle anyway; second, the elderly buy things carefully and can bargain; third, the elderly are bored at home and like to go out for a walk and buy some things by the way.
By communicating with the elderly, I found that the older the elderly, the more particular about health, health, life, taste, etc. What is nutritious? What should you eat less? What to eat? How to eat it? How much to eat? Wait, everyone talks about it one by one. Not to mention, chatting with them, and sometimes I really gain a lot of knowledge and know a lot of health knowledge.
Everyone hopes that they can live a healthy and long life. Now the average life expectancy of Chinese people has reached 77.3 years (data at the end of 2021). Although it is still close to 5 years old than the world's longest-lived country, Japan, 81.5 years old, the world's longest-lived country, is a general trend, and it is also a goal that can be achieved through daily attention and hard work. Today I will talk to you. If a person wants to live a long life, he must master three principles when he is 65 years old, be sure to be comfortable on his own and bring blessings to his family.
First, eat "seven minutes full" and have good nutritional balance
The most popular way to eat now is "eat breakfast well, eat full lunch, and eat less supper". This is the principle of eating that applies to most people. That is basically applicable to the elderly over 65 years old, but it is not very suitable in some places.
For example, the problem of "eat good breakfast" sometimes you really can't eat too well, because after the age of 65, a person's gastrointestinal function will be reduced. If you eat too well every day, the gastrointestinal intestines cannot bear it, and you won't feel hungry at noon, which will affect your appetite. There is also the problem of "eat enough for lunch", which is definitely not suitable for the elderly after 65 years old. How to eat
? That is, the meal should be "seven-point full". The so-called "seven-point full" means that you can eat half a steamed bun or a small bowl of porridge. When you have this feeling, stop by yourself and stop eating. You can experiment with this several times, or slowly figure it out, and you will have a clear idea.
has another key issue, that is, the issue of balanced nutrition. The so-called balance means not being picky or partial to food, and not being hungry or full. Some people will have a full meal when they encounter something delicious or want to eat, making their stomachs feel uncomfortable. Sometimes the food is not suitable for your appetite, so you can just eat a little and pull it down, which is very undesirable.
Second, exercise appropriately, use this "double-edged sword"
As the saying goes, " life lies in exercise ". The quality and length of human life are closely related to movement, which is a truth that has been proven by countless sciences. Everyone is very clear about the issue of "momentum exercise", that is, you must neither stop exercising, sit at home or lie in bed all day, but you cannot exercise heavily.
Generally speaking, the number of exercise steps for the elderly after 60 years of age should not exceed 10,000 steps, and gradually reduce it according to the standard of 200 steps reduced each year. For example, a 60-year-old person has 10,000 steps in exercise. When he is 65, he can just walk 9,000 steps, and when he is 70-year-old, he can just walk 8,000 steps in exercise. You can master it flexibly based on your own physical fitness.
Exercise and exercise are both "double-edged swords". There is a colleague who likes sports when he was young, especially basketball, football, volleyball, badminton, table tennis, etc. As long as there are events in the unit, he will definitely be there. He just turned 60 this year, but it seems very difficult to walk. His right arm is often painful, which is the result of sports when he was young.
There is also a master who climbed mountains and exercises every day after retirement at the age of 60. He was more than 20,000 steps every day. As a result, he was not 65 years old and had unbearable knee pain. Now he had to walk on the court and wait for the flat ground. This is the consequence of not using the "double-edged sword" of exercise well. When I figured it out, it was too late.
3. Drinking water regularly will make the body and mind "healthy"
There are many sayings about people drinking water now. Some say that they should drink a glass of water immediately after getting up and not get thirsty all morning; some say that they should drink a glass of water before going to bed at night to save thirst at night; some say that people should drink 8 cups of water a day to meet their body's needs for moisture. etc. There are many statements, no consensus. The above statements of
have their own reasons, but they are also incomplete and unscientific. A scientific way of drinking water is: "drink water regularly", 7-8 cups of water every day. This is for everyone. Of course, there are many special places for the elderly over 65 years old. Specifically, it is "drink a drink in the morning and evening, and don't gather together during the period."
The so-called "drinking a cup in the morning and evening" means that after getting up half an hour in the morning, drink a cup of warm water, so that the whole body can be moisturized quickly, and all organs work normally; half an hour before going to bed at night, drink a cup of warm water, so that the body can adapt for half an hour before going to bed, and then go to bed to rest after drinking water. Never go to bed immediately.
"Don't gather together during the period", that is, the remaining 5-6 cups of water can be evenly distributed in the morning, afternoon and after dinner, and there is no need to fix this time. For example, after going out to exercise, you can drink 1-2 cups of water; sometimes when you go out to buy vegetables, you also have to drink water after you come back, etc. Don’t drink too much water continuously, and don’t drink water for a long time. This “hot” is completely adjusted according to your body’s needs.
In short, if you want to live long, you must have the skills, practices and rules of longevity. Never call longevity with your mouth, be uncontrollable in your actions, and cannot control your behavior at all. It will definitely be difficult to achieve your ideals and wishes.
I hope everyone must keep in mind three principles: balanced nutrition, exercise appropriately, drink water regularly, maintain your body well, welcome your bright future for a long life, and share the bright prospects of the world and the peace in the prosperous times!
