China's population has gradually shown the trend of aging, and the health of the elderly is not only an important symbol of social civilization and progress, but also a major concern of the whole society.
Everyone will grow old. In the age of aging, how can we be called "healthy old people"?
Recently, the National Health Commission formally implemented the Chinese Standard for the healthy elderly, which defines nine requirements for the "healthy elderly".
What exactly is a "healthy old man" like? Which requirements need to be met?
The Chinese Standard for the healthy elderly (hereinafter referred to as the Standard) points out that the healthy elderly refer to those aged 60 and above who can take care of themselves or basically take care of themselves.
The healthy elderly tend to be in a state of mutual coordination and harmony in physical, psychological and social aspects.
In the past, health was more regarded as an ideal condition.
According to the 2013 assessment criteria, less than 5% of the elderly meet the health criteria.
By further improving the measurement indicators, the new "standard" understands the meaning of health in a more senile way, hoping to convey a more positive concept of life-that the sick life of the elderly is normal, as long as it can be effectively controlled, is a healthy or basically healthy elderly.
The new "Standard" stipulates that the health standards for the elderly in China should meet nine requirements. Let's see how many you meet:
1. Take care of yourself or basically take care of yourself
2. The aging changes of important organs did not lead to obvious functional abnormalities.
3. The risk factors affecting health should be controlled within the range appropriate to their age.
4. Good nutritional status
5. Cognitive function is basically normal.
6. Optimistic, positive and self-satisfied
7. have a certain degree of health literacy and maintain a good lifestyle
8. Actively participate in family and social activities
9. Good social adaptability.
What do you think are the 7 habits of "healthy"
Maybe it's all wrong!
Old people don't accept old age.
Some old people feel that they are healthy and healthy, so they engage in high-intensity physical exercises such as mountain climbing, swimming, running and playing ball, which can easily lead to muscle injuries, fractures and so on.
There are also some old people who retreat endlessly and work hard, which can easily lead to illness due to work fatigue.
Suggestion: with the increase of age, the human body will undergo many degenerative changes, muscle, bone and organ functions are weakening.
The elderly should rationally understand this, exercise according to their ability, and choose their own way of exercise, such as walking, Taijiquan, Baduanjin, Wuqian opera and so on.
It's a good thing to use your spare heat after retirement, but if you have a chronic disease, you should stop working and not feel tired.
* diligence and thrift is too good.
Many elderly people are reluctant to throw away leftovers, leftovers and even moldy food, thinking that as long as the leftovers are not stale, moldy food can be eaten without moldy parts.
Suggestion: leftovers are easy to breed bacteria, which can easily lead to gastroenteritis
Some overheated overnight vegetables contain more nitrite and often have the risk of causing cancer.
Therefore, leftovers had better be eaten in one day, leftovers should be eaten in 5 to 6 hours, cold dishes and green leafy vegetables had better be eaten, and must be heated and sterilized at high temperature before eating leftovers.
Moldy peanuts, corn, soybeans, nuts and other foods, easy to produce aflatoxin, after consumption may cause acute poisoning or even death, long-term low-dose consumption will also increase the risk of cancer.
Moreover, washing and cooking temperature can not destroy it, even if the moldy place is removed, it can not avoid the harm of mold, so moldy food can not be eaten.
Do not eat oil and salt in order to reduce blood pressure and reduce fat.
The study found that eating too much oil and salt usually increases the risk of high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia, so some "health-conscious" elderly simply do not eat oil and salt and want to put an end to the risk.
Suggestion: excessive salt restriction will lead to insufficient sodium intake, imbalance of osmotic pressure inside and outside the body, water into the cell, resulting in edema.
Cooking oil is also a necessity, do not eat cooking oil at all, may lead to the lack of some nutrients.
The elderly should learn to control oil and reduce salt correctly. The Dietary guidelines for Chinese residents (2022) recommend that salt intake should be less than 5 grams per person per day, and edible oil consumption should be between 25 grams and 30 grams.
The more calcium supplements, the better.
The concept of calcium supplement is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Many elderly people feel that the more calcium is added and absorbed, the stronger the bones will be, so they take a lot of calcium.
Advice: in fact, if the intake of calcium far exceeds the body's needs, it will be counterproductive, pose a threat to health, and may even lead to disease.
For people over 60 years old, it is recommended to take 1000 mg ~ 1200 mg of calcium every day.
The safest and most effective way to supplement calcium is to eat more calcium-rich foods such as dairy products and bean products in your daily diet, as well as quit smoking and exercise to reduce bone loss.
Taking more tonics can prolong your life.
With the improvement of living standards, in order to be healthy and prolong life, many elderly people will not hesitate to buy supplements such as ginseng, pilose antler and Ganoderma lucidum at high prices, and regard them as magic weapons to prolong life.
Suggestion: with the increase of age, the functions of the body gradually weaken, appropriate tonic can slow down the decline of physiological function and delay the aging process.
However, the supplement depends on the physical condition, if you eat supplements randomly regardless of physique and symptoms, it will cause some diseases.
Therefore, professional doctors should be asked to identify individual physique and symptoms, targeted to supplement, in order to play the role of physical fitness.
Generally speaking, a balanced diet is sufficient to meet the nutritional needs of the body and does not require additional supplements. Even if you take supplements, medicine and food with the same origin are the first choice.
It is a waste to fill teeth when you are old
Due to the lack of attention to the protection of teeth, many elderly people lose their teeth early, but people don't take them seriously.
Many old people feel that it is normal to lose their teeth, it is no big deal, and they think that dental implants or dental implants are a waste of time and money.
Suggestion: loss of teeth leads to a decline in masticatory function, which increases the burden of gastrointestinal digestion of food, which is not conducive to adequate nutrition intake through diet.
If you do not pay attention to cleaning the mouth, it will also lead to dental caries, alveolar bone atrophy and other problems.
Therefore, the elderly should pay attention to oral hygiene, brush their teeth in the morning and evening, gargle after three meals, and wash their teeth regularly. If there are missing teeth, it should be repaired in time to maintain the masticatory function.
The earlier the morning exercise, the better
Some elderly people don't sleep well, so getting up early is the norm. They even get up before six o'clock in the morning and think that the earlier they exercise, the better.
Suggestion: morning exercise should not be done too early.
Because before 6 o'clock in the morning, the photosynthesis of green plants has not been carried out thoroughly, a lot of carbon dioxide has been accumulated in the air, and there is little fresh oxygen in the air, which is particularly easy to cause colds and joint diseases.
In addition, the coronary artery tension is high in the morning, the sympathetic nerve is also more excited, prone to sudden cardiovascular disease. Old people should not do morning exercises earlier than 6 o'clock in summer and even later in winter. They should wait for the sun to come out before doing morning exercises.
Drink some water and have a good breakfast before going out to avoid hypoglycemia. The place should be a park or a square with a wide view. Don't exercise by the side of the road where there is more traffic.
