People's psychology is closely related to life span. It is hard to imagine that a person who is worried, depressed and has many bad habits can live long. After long-term research and visiting some longevity workers, the elderly workers summed up ten longevity secrets:
Modality is cheerful, indifferent and nothingness;
When you have a hobby, but you are not addicted to seeking;
Sexual desire should be moderate and nourishing essence should be sufficient;
Sleep hygiene should also be noted;
Moderate exercise and proper mastery;
Diet should be moderate, not partial eclipse;
Clothing is wide and warm, suitable for cold and heat;
Quiet sunshine;
Regular physical examination to prevent micro-duration;
Take drugs, don't throw them around;
Achieve these ten essentials and live a long life.
First, cheerful mood, indifferent nothingness.
Emotion affects life span and is an important factor in preventing diseases and prolonging life. Of course, the so-called bleak nothingness does not mean "purity, no desire, no action", but keeps people optimistic and should not suffer for personal fame and fortune. It is necessary to achieve "six less and one more". That is, less anger, less depression, less worry, less sadness, less fear, less shock and more fun, but not anxious and unhappy. Moreover, we should treat birth, illness and death correctly, make diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible, and don't be in a hurry all day.
Second, when you have preferences, you are not fascinated.
When people are old, having one or two or more hobbies is conducive to developing interests, pinning their feelings and arranging their lives. The preferences of the elderly should conform to the physiological characteristics of the elderly, and it is best to be "quiet and motionless". Such as planting flowers and bamboo, painting and calligraphy poetry, reading and fishing, playing chess and collecting stamps. You can also watch TV movies and watch more entertainment programs. If you have good physical strength, you can also travel appropriately to cultivate your sentiment. But whether you like one or more, don't be fascinated. Fascination is bound to be laborious and harmful to health.
Third, sexual desire should be restrained and the essence should be sufficient.
Zhang Jingyue, a physician in the Ming Dynasty, said: "Those who are good at keeping in good health must be precious and refined, and those who are full of vigor, while those who are full of spirit are healthy and less sick, and they are old and strong, all based on essence." . This shows the importance of controlling sexual desire and preserving kidney essence. But abstinence does not mean abstinence, and the elderly can share a room according to their age and physical condition. However, those suffering from coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, pulmonary heart disease, etc. You should be more careful about sexual intercourse and you'd better consult a doctor.
Fourth, we should also pay attention to sleep hygiene.
Sleep is the best way for the human brain to rest. After old age, kidney deficiency and weakness rely more on sleep to cultivate self-cultivation. First of all, we must master the sleep time. The ancients said "take a nap", which means that you should be sleeping at 0: 00 pm and at noon 12, of course, not too mechanically. Sleep time is generally 8 hours a day. The elderly can be appropriately reduced. Among them, it is appropriate to take a nap for about an hour. Secondly, we should also pay attention to sleeping posture, and advocate "lying like a bow". It is best to lie on the right side, with the right lower limb straight and the left lower limb bent. The bed for the elderly should not be too soft and too high, and the pillow can be slightly higher to reduce the burden on the heart. In addition, don't drink and smoke before going to bed, especially don't have excessive mood swings. Don't sleep when you are full or depressed.
Five, moderate exercise, grasp the right.
"Life lies in exercise", which makes people live longer. Through proper physical activities, regulating the functions of various parts, dredging meridians, promoting blood circulation and regulating qi are conducive to eliminating diseases and prolonging life. But pay attention to the amount of exercise. The time and intensity of exercise vary from person to person. Generally, exercise for half an hour every morning and evening, and it is advisable not to feel tired or slightly tired after exercise. It's best for old people to exercise together in order to take care of each other. People with heart disease, hypertension, epilepsy, cor pulmonale and other diseases should pay special attention to exercise, and it is best to consult a doctor.
Sixth, diet, not partial eclipse.
Regulating diet is particularly important for the elderly. First of all, it is necessary to quantify regularly, especially for the elderly with weak spleen and stomach, but the frequency can be increased once, and it is appropriate to eat 80% full every time. Secondly, it is necessary to match the thickness, light and delicious, avoid the thick taste of cream, not partial eclipse, and strive for diversification. Eat less animal fat and high-salt food. In addition, we should also pay attention to moderate cold and heat, and the spleen and stomach of the elderly are yang-deficient. Overeating cold and cold will hurt the spleen and stomach, and overeating hot and dry products will easily accumulate damp heat. Also pay attention to clean diet, smoke less and drink less.
Seven, clothing broadband, suitable for cold and warm.
Neijing said: "Deficiency and evil can steal wind, and sometimes we should avoid it ... and stay away from diseases". Because the temperature regulation function of the elderly is poor, clothes should be moderately warm and slightly fat, and underwear should be made of cotton, because cotton is soft, light and cool and has strong water absorption. With the change of seasonal climate, the daily life of the elderly and the thickness of clothes will also change. In spring and summer, "stay up late and get up early, and never tire of it for a hundred days", and in autumn and winter, "stay up early and get up late, and wait for the sun", so as to "nourish yang in spring and summer and nourish yin in autumn and winter".
Eight, live in peace and sunshine.
People spend more than half of their lives at home. The survey shows that most elderly people who live in beautiful, spacious and bright houses live a long life. Therefore, the residence of the elderly should be quiet, the surrounding environment is good, the noise is small (the noise in the living environment should not exceed 40 decibels), the sun is abundant, and it is ventilated and dry.
Nine, regular physical examination, prevent micro duration.
The nervous system of the elderly is slow to respond, and the symptoms are often not obvious or atypical when they are sick. Therefore, regular physical examination for the elderly can find symptoms in time, especially cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancer, and it is necessary to find and treat them early.
Ten, drug abuse, not abuse.
People are old and weak, so tonics must not be abused. It should be noted that "deficiency is also different from yin, yang, qi, blood and viscera". Therefore, the elderly should use health care drugs under the guidance of doctors and use them according to their own constitution and symptoms. Generally speaking, the elderly should use drugs gently and peacefully, and laxatives should be used with caution or not. The elderly should use drugs as little as possible, and it is easy to produce "drug resistance" if they use more drugs. The dosage should also be small, and you can take it often if necessary, but it should not be large every time. Some treatments, such as massage, massage, are simple and easy, and the elderly can master them themselves, which has advantages and disadvantages.
