When you get old, first of all, your eyesight deteriorates. My father's eyesight deteriorates faster than ordinary people, because he had unhealthy eating habits and work habits when he was young.

After getting old, it is easy to induce some senile diseases.

This is due to the decline of their own immunity and resistance, coupled with some bad living habits, leading to the gradual downward trend development.

Some elderly people are so worried about their health that when they go to the hospital for physical examination, they always take a stack of thick physical examination reports.

However, in the eyes of doctors, the elderly who are prone to illness may not be the real disease, but old age.

As you get older, your body degrades and your physical fitness declines. When geriatric disease occurs, it is not just a disease, or a decline in the physiological indicators of the elderly.

Age classification criteria for the elderly

The process of aging can be divided into three stages:

1, the first stage is divided into the early stage of old age.

2, the second stage is divided into old age stage.

3. The third stage is divided into longevity stage.

According to the regional division, the above 60 years old as the elderly, usually the standard time 45~59 years old as the early elderly, middle-aged 60~80 years old as the elderly, 80 years old and above become the elderly, 90 years old as longevity.

After people get old, aging will induce a variety of diseases, the elderly often induced by age-related diseases:

[1] Old eyes faint: after getting older, due to their own physical reasons, it is easy to appear dizziness brain swelling, old eyes faint phenomenon.

[2] Hair white: after aging hair will become white and less, especially some longevity of the elderly, hair quality will be more decreased.

[3] Leg and foot inconvenience: after aging, due to the influence of their own bones, it is easy to appear leg and foot inconvenience, walking ability decline, but also affect the normal life of the elderly.

[4] Senile plaques: senile plaques are physiological diseases that are prone to appear in the elderly, generally known as seborrheic keratosis.

[5] Three high diseases: hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and hypertension are geriatric diseases that often break out in the elderly.

None of these are diseases? It's age! Overtreatment can hurt you. Accept it

The first disease: presbyopia

As we age, the lenses of our eyes begin to harden, stop getting thicker, and become thin and brittle, so we can't see far away objects. This is called presbyopia, especially in older people, which can occur after the age of 50.

Presbyopia IS called PRESBYOPIA AGAIN, IT IS A PHYSIOLOGICAL phenomenon, not a pathological state, also do not belong to refractive error, it is the inevitable problem after people enter the middle and old age.

Because the image can't focus when the retina focuses, it causes symptoms of lightheadedness. For presbyopia, there is no specific treatment, mainly through optometry, wearing the appropriate degree of presbyopia glasses for correction.

The second disease: bone disease

The elderly, it is easy to develop bone diseases, such as our common osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, this is the elderly often appear.

With the continuous growth of age, the body's nutrients will also lose collagen and calcium, and there will be a lack of it. In fact, this disease is also a physiological disease of the elderly, which does not need too much treatment.

In daily life, we must pay attention to bone maintenance and eat more nutritious food to supplement bones, such as milk, eggs, soy beans and so on.

It can also promote the synthesis of vitamin D in the body, promote the synthesis of calcium in the bones, and maintain individual bone health through exposure to the sun.

The third disease: age spots

Senile SPOT IS OLD PEOPLE, THE PHYSIOLOGICAL DISEASE THAT OFTEN APPEARS, AFTER GETTING OLD, THE MELANIN SYNTHESIS INSIDE THE BODY CAN BE A BIT FASTER, BECAUSE REDUNDANT MELANIN, CANNOT PASS NORMAL PHYSIOLOGICAL metabolism, DISCHARGE GOES OUT TO ACCUMULATE AMONG THE SKIN, FORMED a LARGE SPOT.

Clinical senile plaques also known as "seborrheic keratosis" this disease, will not affect the health of the elderly, but will affect the personal image of the elderly, especially for the elderly pay attention to personal image.

Age spots do not need too much treatment, if it affects the individual's life, or the elderly feel that age spots affect the individual's image, may wish to use laser treatment.

Perhaps USE THE FOOD OF A FEW DESALT SPOT, FOR example "TOMATO JUICE" "MILK APPLY FACE" BUT THIS KIND CANNOT COMPLETELY CURE THE senILE SPOT ON THE FACE, CAN ACHIEVE CERTAIN AUXILIARY ALLEVIATE EFFECT ONLY.

The above three diseases are physiologic diseases that often occur in some elderly people. They do not need too much treatment. If they affect their daily life, they can also go to the hospital to do relevant physical examination and treatment.

How to improve the quality of life of the elderly in their daily life?

How can the elderly improve their quality of life in their daily life? Avoid these four behaviors.

[1] Being chronically sedentary

A FEW OLD PEOPLE LIKE TO SIT FOR A LONG TIME AFTER GOING UP THE AGE, ADD LEG AND FOOT IS NOT CONVENIENT TO BE ABLE TO SIT ON THE SOFA IN THE HOME TO WATCH TV TO READ A NEWSPAPER, DRINK TEA TO READ A BOOK, ACTUALLY SUCH HABIT, IT IS VERY UNHEALTHY, THE CIRCULATION THAT SAT FOR A LONG TIME AFFECTED BLOOD.

In fact, for the elderly, their own age, blood circulation ability has decreased, coupled with long-term sedentary, blood circulation ability is worse, also affect their own health.

[2] Reading at night

Some old people like to read books at night before going to bed. I think it can enrich my life and make my life more colorful.

In fact, reading at night is the most damaging eyes, long time in the low light, will also make the probability of presbyopia induced by the eyes to increase frequently.

[3] Do not exercise

The elderly must avoid this phenomenon. If they do not exercise, the blood of the body can not reach the state of operation, and the body can not operate normally, so their blood circulation effect is relatively poor.

In addition, the metabolic capacity of the elderly is relatively slow, if not exercise, it is easy to cause body obesity, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease phenomenon.
