How to keep fit and healthy for the elderly

　　When many elderly friends see me, they ask me why I look younger than them, and my face, body shape, spirit, and energy are stronger than theirs. They also ask why my father can live for more than a hundred years without any problems. disease (My father is 106 years old. In addition to his completely white hair, he has neither cervical or lumbar spondylosis nor internal disease. At the age of 105, he can still walk hundreds of miles a day and walk with a weight of 30 to 40 pounds). Every time I introduce to them the general life of our father and son.

　　In order to make more elderly friends healthy healthy , taking the opportunity of "Health Talk" to introduce to you some of our health care methods for the reference of our elderly friends.

　　Our health care method can be summarized as follows: live in a timely manner and eat in moderation.

　　Wake up time: according to your own habits, don't force it. After waking up, you can do the health exercises in bed, or you can get up immediately and go to a place with fresh air. exercise Or walk slowly. It is advisable to take a nap for 2 to 3 hours. Watching TV generally does not exceed 1 hour. The same is true for reading books and newspapers. After reading for 1 hour, you should walk slowly for 10 to 15 minutes.

　　After I get up at 6 o'clock in the morning every day (except when it rains, snows, and windy weather), I go to a place with fresh air and breathe deeply for more than half an hour to expand my lung capacity (theory of traditional Chinese medicine: the lungs face the hundreds of meridians, and the lungs govern the circulation. If the lungs are strong and the lungs are strong, the blood vessels will be unobstructed, and the circulation will not be stagnant, and the body will be healthy).

　　Do your own health exercises. Swing your hands left and right: increase from 5 times to 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15 times; swing your hands back and forth in the same way as above. Turn your head back and forth 36 times. Rub the back of the neck (Dazhui point) with both hands 36 times (can prevent and treat cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, etc.). Rub the face 120 times. Rub your ears with both hands 21 times. Push the palm of your hand toward the ear orifice 5 times. Then tap the head (from front to back) 9 times (this can prevent high blood pressure and vertigo). People with high blood pressure should press Fengchi and Fengfu points heavily, and tap the acupoints 5 to 9 times more. Rotate the waist left and right front and back 15 times. Then turn your knees left and right 9 times and your ankles 5 to 7 times. Then jump lightly on your toes 7 times. This all ends in about an hour and a half.

　　If possible, you can do reverse breathing for 10 to 15 minutes: when inhaling, touch the tongue to the upper jaw, and contract the lower abdomen and the second yin at the same time, until you can no longer inhale; when exhaling, touch the tongue to the lower jaw, relax the lower abdomen and the second yin, until you can no longer relax the lower abdomen and the second yin. If repeated in this way, in the long run, it will enhance sexual function and prevent and treat sexual dysfunction , and can make the long-term constipate eliminate.

　　I have been persisting in this kind of exercise and now I have no high blood pressure, cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis, or sexual dysfunction. I think if elderly friends continue to exercise, they can stay young and energetic forever and prolong their lives.
