Some people feel that they naturally "feel less" when they get older, so they don't pay much attention to napping. In fact, middle-aged and elderly people have a reduced body resistance, and are prone to insomnia at night, and they need to "recharge" their bodies through naps.
There are 3 points to pay special attention to when taking a nap:
- Take a nap between 11 p.m. and 1 p.m., not too long, about 30 minutes, not more than 1 hour;
- Eating too much at lunch will cause excess body fat and high blood lipids, resulting in cerebral atherosclerosis;
- Napping must be flat, lying flat nap is conducive to protecting the spine, do not lean on the chair or sofa to nap, and pay attention to keep warm.
2. Middle-aged and elderly people begin to prevent falls
According to the "China Injury Prevention Report" released by the Ministry of Health, nearly one-third of the middle-aged and elderly people in the mainland have fallen experience, and 20%-30% of them have suffered more than moderate physical injuries because of falls.
Therefore, when people reach middle and old age, they must begin to prevent falls. Here's how:
- Get up slowly: After waking up, you must get up slowly on the bed, and then get out of bed and move slowly;
- The bathroom should be non-slip: do not pile up clutter in the hallway of the house, the light should be bright enough, and try not to use too high storage cabinets.
- Pay attention to calcium supplementation: prevent osteoporosis, and other foods high in calcium, and develop good habits.
3. Maintain the ability to learn
恰当地动脑学习，避免记忆力衰退太早或出现认知障碍。
When people are old, they often lose their minds, feel that their memory is losing quickly, and sometimes they are afraid of sudden cognitive impairment.
Therefore, we should develop a good habit of continuous reading and learning, let ourselves gradually accept new things, strengthen the brain's memory and analysis ability, and always maintain a good cognitive state in our later years is the key.
4. Pay attention to nourishment and exercise to improve resistance

Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people should eat more marine fish, which can be eaten two or three times a week, and it is better to steam it.
7. Physical examination once every six months after the age of 60
When we reach the age of 60, our body functions begin to decline, which is a natural law and cannot be escaped. Therefore, it is recommended to increase the frequency of physical examinations to once every six months in order to keep abreast of the physical condition.
At the same time, the results of the physical examination should be saved so that they can be compared with the results of the next time, and can also be used as a reference for the doctor when treatment is needed.
8. The first aid kit and first aid card are not left in the body
After retirement, you are most afraid of accidents, especially in outdoor places where there are no relatives to follow. This requires middle-aged and elderly people to carry a first-aid kit or first-aid card with them.
The first aid kit is labeled with our own basic information, such as name, address, contact number of children, etc., and is packed with common first aid medicines.
9、保持一颗平常心、生活当中少操心
In old age, a normal heart is also a "good medicine" for health, which should not be underestimated.
If there is a problem in life or physical health, it is the best policy to find a way to solve it slowly and face it positively.
If you relax your mentality in life and be "confused" in family trivialities, the "too shrewd" elderly will have family conflicts, and family disharmony is a taboo for the elderly.
Maintain a good night's sleep, the elderly can sleep less, and can squint anytime and anywhere to calm their minds. When God is there, the soul is at peace and the body is healthy.
As the saying goes, "children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren", when the elderly reach a certain age, they should not take care of their children's affairs too much, and they will be at ease.
10. Go out for a walk every day
After retirement, we must not "stay at home", only by integrating more into society, can we stay away from the loneliness and loneliness of our children.
Whether chatting with old friends, taking a walk, or traveling together, it has the effect of strengthening the brain and heart, and it is easy to prolong life.
Like what.
Cultivating some hobbies can keep your later life fun and moody.
Groom yourself properly and carefully and experience the beauty of aging gracefully.
Remember to keep yourself smiling and young, a good attitude and a good mood can help improve the body's immunity.
