Medical practice has proved that if middle-aged and elderly people can always adhere to the "four diligences" in health care, they can prolong life and stay healthy as they age. "Four Diligences" means "working frequently with your brain, your mouth, your hands, and your legs".
Use your brain frequently. If you use your brain appropriately, your brain cells will be more developed, your brain power will be stronger, and your life will be longer. On the contrary, if you are too lazy to use your brain, your brain will undergo degenerative changes. Using your brain, in a sense, is equivalent to a long-distance mental run for the elderly. Reading more and reading more newspapers will not only enable the elderly to understand more national events and acquire richer knowledge, but also cultivate their sentiments and make their lives more fulfilling. and create new expectations for the future. A Japanese scientist used ultrasound to measure the brains of elderly people with different lifestyles
and found that in people who use their brains frequently, their cerebral blood vessels are often stretched and their brain nerve cells are well protected
>Nourishing so that the brain does not age prematurely.
Move your mouth frequently. The mouth is a close neighbor of the brain, and every move it makes involves the brain. Talking, laughing and chewing more will have a positive impact on the brain. The elderly should make friends, talk more, and talk more. They can also tell stories and jokes to their children and grandchildren in their free time. This kind of "brain gymnastics" that uses language function frequently can make the brain think more flexibly. Chewing more can also prevent brain degeneration, enhance memory, and promote blood circulation in the brain. People with brain blood vessels are often in a stretched state, and brain nerve cells are well maintained, so that the brain will not age prematurely.

This kind of "brain gymnastics" that uses language function frequently can make the brain think more flexibly. Chewing more can also prevent brain degeneration, enhance memory, promote blood circulation in the brain, and stimulate saliva secretion. Human saliva has always been called the "water of life" by the health care industry. It not only contains a variety of "lysozymes" that can effectively prevent and treat local oral infections, but also contains "parotid hormone" that can delay the aging of the body.
Work hard with your hands. Human hands are the most flexible organ in the human body and the most used organ among all the organs in the human body.
In the motor area of ??the cerebral cortex, the area responsible for finger movement is much larger than the area for movement of other organs. Human hands have an extremely close connection with the brain through nerve endings. Movement or stimulation of the hands can activate brain functions through hand-brain reflexes. In addition, there are some reflex areas on the hands, and stimulating them can achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. For example, the root of the thumb, medically known as the "thenar", is an effective part in treating upper respiratory tract diseases. Regular rubbing with palms together is very effective in improving the physiological functions and metabolism of the upper respiratory tract. Frequently moving your fingers can stimulate the brain and prevent brain degeneration. For example, playing musical instruments, playing cards, learning painting, practicing calligraphy, writing articles, knitting sweaters, spinning "exercise balls", etc. will all make the brain more responsive.
Move your legs frequently. As the saying goes: "People age first, their legs age first." Indeed, whether the function of limb muscles and joints is strong is the primary indicator of whether an elderly person is healthy. Exercising the leg muscles and joints can not only prevent the aging of the legs, but also enhance human metabolism, accelerate blood circulation, strengthen respiratory function, expand lung capacity, make the heart beat powerfully, and speed up gastrointestinal motility.
, the brain is responsive and less susceptible to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In addition, "feet are the pumps of the heart", washing feet frequently and rubbing the soles of feet can stimulate the "Yongquan point" and the nerves in the soles of the feet, regulate emotions and activate thinking. To keep the brain alert and not aging, regular exercise is more important. Such as walking, jogging, Tai Chi, doing aerobics, ballroom dancing, etc., which can not only improve blood circulation and make people happy, but also provide the brain with more adequate blood supply and promote normal brain function. Thinking activity
and memory function, which is very beneficial to prevent brain function decline.

Tongue movement exercises
Keeping the tongue flexible is an important condition for speaking, so you must insist on practicing the following actions - repeated extension and retraction of the tongue; tongue between the two mouths Move left and right as quickly as possible; move the tip of the tongue as fast as possible in a circle around the lips; say "pull-pull-pull", "ka-ka-ka", "ka-la-ka" as quickly and accurately as possible, repeat several times.
Exercises for the lips and upper and lower jaws
Slowly and repeatedly open and close the mouth; tightly close the upper and lower lips for a few seconds, then relax; repeatedly raise the upper and lower lips, like a kiss , then relax; repeat the action of opening and closing your mouth as quickly as possible, several times; say "ah-ah-ah..." as quickly as possible, and repeat after resting.
Reading exercise
Read a passage from a newspaper or beautiful prose slowly and loudly. It is best to read poetry aloud, whether it is Tang poetry, Song poetry or modern poetry, you can choose according to your own preferences. Poetry has ups and downs of rhythm and is catchy when read. It can not only cure language barriers, but also cultivate sentiment. Good poetry can also stimulate your fighting spirit, which is a good method.
Singing practice
Singing is a good way. You can choose your favorite songs to practice. Some patients told me that after changing their illness, speaking became difficult, but singing was not affected. After practicing singing consistently, my speech also improved significantly. More importantly, singing can exercise lung capacity, which can help improve the feeling of lack of confidence in speaking and prevent the occurrence of pneumonia.
