As the saying goes, 'people over 60, don't touch, don't make friends', what does it mean?
In many areas in rural areas, 60 is taken very seriously. In the past, the average age of people was not long, and 60 years old was very old. So when they celebrate their 60th birthday, they invite relatives and friends to have a party at home.
In any way, it shows the true attitude of human beings to the age of 60. At this time, whether you accept old age or not, you may sigh: You are really getting old.
As the saying goes, when people reach their 60s, they don't make friends, and they don't touch each other. What do they mean? Let's take a look today.
01 As the saying goes, if people are over 60, they don't touch and they don't make friends. What does it mean?
【Two do not touch】
Do not touch tobacco and alcohol
Many people have the habit of smoking and drinking alcohol. Although we have always emphasized that smoking and drinking are bad for health and increase the risk of many diseases, people with smoking and drinking habits do not think so. Some of them tried to change, but they didn't persevere and failed.
After the age of 60, the body cannot withstand the harm of tobacco and alcohol, which will affect lifespan over time. If you have the habit of smoking and drinking in the past, some diseases are also easy to break out at this time. If you are not exposed to tobacco and alcohol, you can reduce your risk of related diseases.
Do not touch medicine
Many people show obvious signs of aging after the age of 60. In order to delay aging, some elderly people choose to take health products or traditional Chinese medicine, but it is not recommended for the elderly to do so.
The elderly may have some problems with weakened liver and kidney functions, and the ability to metabolize drugs will also decline. Traditional Chinese medicine and health products should also be used under the guidance of a doctor. They shouldn't abuse drugs blindly, otherwise they won't get the health care benefits but increase the risk of disease because there's no drug abuse.
【Two do not pay】
not in a hurry
When you get along with others after 60, don't rush to talk to them. Tell others about your privacy. If you come across a cheater, it's very bad for your family and could spell trouble for your health.
For the elderly, there is nothing wrong with expanding social circles. It can help regulate emotions and be beneficial to physical and mental health. However, if you are too close, there may be certain risks.
not speaking
After 60, don't haggle over every detail. Instead of arguing with others, let the sea open up. Too many pointless arguments can increase the psychological burden and affect hormone levels in the body.
Therefore, the elderly must learn to maintain a peaceful mind, not to be impetuous, not to quarrel, not to be arrogant, and letting nature be the key to health preservation.
02 How to take care of the elderly?
Eat more bland food and less greasy food.
The digestive ability of the elderly is relatively poor. In the diet, attention should be paid to easy digestion and absorption, and eat less food with high fat content and macromolecular nutrients, otherwise it will increase the digestive burden of the stomach.
You can drink a bowl of soy milk and eat a bowl of rice porridge every morning, which will not cause a digestive burden to the stomach. You should eat seven minutes in the morning to avoid gastrointestinal problems that can lead to poor sleep quality at night. You should make sure to eat two fruits a day, which will replenish your body with the vitamins it needs every day.
Keep exercising and keep your body young.
Exercise can maintain the vitality of cells, delay the aging speed of the body, improve the body's immunity, and reduce the incidence of senile diseases. However, due to the poorer bone condition of the elderly, strenuous exercise is not an option.
The elderly can choose to jog. Jogging for half an hour every morning can play a role in strengthening the body. The air quality in the morning is better, which is suitable for exercise.
You can also walk fast on the treadmill for half an hour after eating at night, which can not only speed up the digestion of food in the stomach, but also improve the quality of sleep.
