Longevity is something that we all strive for, but not everyone can live long. It is not difficult to find that those who live long either have longevity genes in their bodies or maintain good lifestyle habits for a long time. As we age, our body functions continue to decline, and people are more susceptible to chronic diseases.
And when we are young, we talk fast and do things quickly, and it doesn't seem that there will be problems with slow action and procrastination, but after the age of 60, we need to make appropriate changes. Because our reflexes and physical condition will become sluggish at this time, even if we want to do it quickly, we may not be able to do it, and it may also lead to accidental injuries.
Reminder: After the age of 60, these daily habits should be corrected in time, which may help you maintain your health
1. Love to eat hot food
Here we have to say hot food, many people like to eat while it is hot. And many people in modern times are in a hurry to eat it when it is first served. At this point, the food is still in a relatively hot mouth.
Eating hot food regularly not only causes oral diseases, but also damages our intestines and body functions. Therefore, we should also eat more foods close to our body temperature in our daily life, and don't be stingy to give ourselves a few minutes of waiting time, so that we can be healthy.
2. Tobacco and alcohol
When I hear the news of quitting smoking and drinking, I believe that many older people will be more anxious. I feel that I have been smoking and drinking for most of my life, and I feel that I have a lot of control over my daily intake of tobacco and alcohol, how can I quit smoking and drinking when I am old.
As everyone knows, even if the amount of tobacco and alcohol is well controlled every day, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking after reaching a certain age. Why? This is because the damage caused by smoking and drinking alcohol to our body cannot be formed in a day or two, it takes a certain amount of time to accumulate. When the harm accumulates to a certain level, it will suddenly erupt, and by the time the disease arrives, it is likely to be too late to quit smoking and drinking.
3. Sunset
After the age of 60, in order to effectively promote health and prolong life, we should also adhere to some good habits in our daily life. Some people still stay up late after the age of 60 to play mahjong, watch TV, and lack of sleep at night, which may lead to damage to our health.
And when we don't get enough sleep, it's easy to have a weakened immune function, and many of our body's vital organs need to be repaired when we rest at night. However, if you always stay up late and lack of sleep, it is easy to lead to the deterioration of your mental state and endocrine dysfunction. Therefore, in daily life, it is also important to go to bed early and wake up early to ensure adequate and reasonable sleep time.
4. Hisashi
Many elderly people over the age of 60 sit for hours at a time, and although it is comfortable to sit for a long time, it is also easy to cause harm to our physical health, such as increasing the risk of obesity, hemorrhoids, cardiovascular disease, prostate disease, etc. Therefore, if we want to maintain a healthier physical state, then we must break the bad habit of sedentary as soon as possible, do more physical activities, exercise moderately, and improve our body's resistance.
5. Defecation is too hard
At the age of 60, our body begins to decline and we do not have frequent bowel movements. This, combined with the lack of motivation in older people, makes bowel movements more difficult. Excessive straining during bowel movements can also have an impact on the physical health of older adults.
This is because the increase in our abdominal pressure and blood pressure during straining to defecate may cause acute myocardial infarction. If the elderly have symptoms of constipation, they need to carry out appropriate activities in a reasonable way to promote intestinal peristalsis, and they should also develop regular and good bowel habits. At the same time, you can also get rich dietary fiber from your diet, so as to improve intestinal motility.
6. Don't pay attention to your diet
After the age of 60, some bad habits need to be avoided in time, otherwise it may lead to a shortened life expectancy. Some people still eat a lot of foods high in salt, fat, sugar and cholesterol after the age of 60. This wrong eating behavior can lead to obesity, and even lead to diseases such as high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and gout.
Once these chronic diseases appear, they will not only cause many adverse reactions, but also lead to the occurrence of various complications, which in turn pose a huge threat to our health.
In conclusion, after the age of 60, it is better to change these bad habits as soon as possible, which is also more beneficial for good health and longevity. Of course, bad habits are usually built over many years and are often difficult to correct in a short period of time. This requires a certain amount of determination and perseverance to persevere.
