Not long ago, a confidant who had not seen me for many years expressed his health concerns, such as high blood pressure, unstable blood sugar, decreased vision, hearing loss, etc. I told him that these are all signs of natural aging, but they are not equivalent to diseases. In November 2022, I noticed that the "Health Guidelines for the Elderly in China" issued by the national health department also mentioned it. So, what kind of elderly people are considered healthy?
Being able to take care of oneself in daily life is the foundation of elderly health. This not only reflects the physical condition of the elderly, but also represents their mental and social abilities. In short, as long as you can take care of yourself, you are a healthy elderly person.
The arrival of aging is a natural phenomenon, but one cannot compare oneself with young people. Some physical functions of elderly people may decrease, but as long as these problems can be effectively solved, such as wearing glasses and using hearing aids, it can maintain the quality of daily life.
Many elderly people may face chronic diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia, but the key lies in how to manage them. As long as it can be effectively controlled and major complications such as stroke or coronary heart disease can be avoided, it is considered healthy.
As we age, our digestive system and teeth may experience some problems. Therefore, scientific dietary matching and timely nutritional supplementation are crucial.
Aging may affect our cognitive function, but as long as it does not interfere with daily life, such as shopping and socializing, it can be said to be normal.
There are always regrets in life, but we cannot always immerse ourselves in them. We should face the future positively and optimistically in order to have a greater sense of happiness.
A healthy lifestyle, such as moderate exercise and a balanced diet, can effectively prevent various diseases and maintain good physical condition.
Social activities can help elderly people maintain mental health while also reducing the risk of certain diseases.
Modern society is constantly changing, and the concept of 'never too old to learn' has always been advocated by us. Only by constantly learning can one become younger.
In summary, the health of elderly people not only includes physical health, but also includes psychological and social health. As long as you can achieve the above points, then you are a truly healthy elderly person. I am Director Li of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
