Mrs. Liu is 70 years old this year, lives alone, does not depend on children, her retired life is very happy and comfortable.

Although her children wanted to take her home to live with them, she said she was still healthy and could take care of herself, so she did not live with her children to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

Ms. Luu has drawn out 6 good habits that can be practiced to help you age healthily and happily when you turn 70.

1. Pay attention to sleep

Good sleep helps the body recover both physically and mentally. If you do not get enough sleep for a long time, you will face risks such as memory loss, reduced concentration, and weakened immunity.

For the elderly, sleep time and quality may be reduced. In fact, the elderly still need enough sleep time and high quality sleep. Many elderly people do not sleep well, wake up less than a few hours at night, and feel extremely tired during the day, which is actually a symptom of sleep deprivation.

To get enough sleep, you must first have a quiet, dark and moderately warm sleeping environment to help the elderly fall asleep quickly. Second, avoid using stimulants such as coffee and alcohol before going to bed to ensure you fall asleep faster.

2. Regular health check-ups

When people get old, they will always have all kinds of minor illnesses in their bodies. If ignored, these minor illnesses will turn into serious illnesses over time, affecting their health.

Regular health check-ups can detect problems in the body early and treat them before they become more serious.

Therefore, regular health check-ups are very necessary, including checking blood sugar, blood pressure, etc.

Of course, not only the elderly need to have a health check-up, but young people should also have a regular health check-up every year. This can ensure good health and help us better protect our personal health.

3. Moderate exercise

If you want to live a healthy and long life, exercise is very important. Especially for the elderly, the joints of the limbs become stronger. Exercise can make muscles and bones stronger, improve blood circulation, ensure cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health.

When many people over 70 years old, they feel their physical strength decline, do not want to move, just want to lie on the sofa watching TV, this is a wrong way. The elderly can go out for walks more often, sunbathe, do light exercise every morning and evening to increase the body's resistance.

However, exercise for the elderly should only be at a light level, so they should walk slowly or do gentle exercises to make the body more flexible.

4. Maintain a positive attitude

A positive and optimistic attitude can make our body and mind “healthier”, full of vitality at the age of 70.

Simply put, positive psychology helps to cope better with external pressures, significantly reduces the risk of anxiety and depression problems, and can prolong life.

Therefore, the elderly must learn to regulate their emotions, to always maintain a gentle, calm, optimistic attitude, and not complain about things that do not go as planned.

Of course, seniors should try to avoid places with stressful atmospheres, and socialize more with positive and optimistic people.

5. Spend wisely and don't be fooled

For people over 70 years old, their trust is easily taken advantage of by business people with bad intentions.

In recent years, many people with bad intentions have taken advantage of this characteristic of the elderly and promoted nutritional and health supplements of unknown origin.

In fact, these products do not work, and even have side effects, but many elderly people do not realize that it is a scam.

The elderly need to consume reasonably, not arbitrarily buy these nutritional and health care products, this is not only ineffective but also a waste of money.

6. Choosing friends and relationships

Many people only focus on the number of friends and social relationships. However, when people are over 70 years old, they should make friends who can help them in times of danger and difficulty.

In fact, appropriate social interaction can reduce loneliness, making individuals feel happier. In fact, you can participate in more community activities or social volunteer services to make friends with seniors and enrich your senior life.

When a person turns 70, it is a new beginning, you can refer to the 6 good habits above to enjoy a wonderful time in old age.
