The older you are, the more you need to live a healthy life. To maintain a healthy life, you must have a regular life schedule. However, psychiatrist Hotan Hidesu, who has been studying medical care for the elderly for a long time, pointed out that maintaining a healthy basic living habits of —— sleep, exercise, and diet, there is no need to be too attached to the so-called "common knowledge".

Why do laundry must be done in the morning?

The morning is always busy and busy. You might as well reduce the morning household chores and change the laundry from morning to evening. This simple change not only improves laundry efficiency, but also saves time.

Generally speaking, laundry takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour, and the clothes are longer and longer. And in the morning, there is usually more time and plenty to do this at night. In addition, if you wash the clothes you wore that day and towels you used on the same day can prevent bacteria from growing and reduce the smell.

The washed clothes can be dried indoors first, and the next morning, the clothes rack will be directly hung onto the clothes drying rods outside. This will shorten the operation time and let the clothes dry completely in the morning. In this way, the time from washing to collecting clothes will be shorter, and the daytime can be used more effectively.

Changing the usual family habits can make busy mornings more comfortable. The time saved can be used to do what you like, such as walking, reading, learning or other morning activities, making it more fulfilling every day and improving the quality of your life.

Doesn't have to live a "regular" life

"regular and correct life" refers to basic habits to maintain healthy life, such as good sleep, proper exercise and balanced diet. Although this is indeed an ideal way of life, you might as well think from different angles and adjust your common views.

Doctor Hotan believes that it should be appropriate to update the "common knowledge" of health based on age and one's own needs, rather than blindly following past standards. As you get older, re-examine your body and adjust your lifestyle that suits you, or perhaps the most ideal choice is.

1. Going to bed early and getting up early is not necessarily the best choice

As you age, your sleep time will gradually decrease. Therefore, it is more important to ensure "high-quality sleep" than to insist on going to bed early and getting up early. Only by adjusting the temperature of the bed, maintaining the proper humidity indoors, etc., can we truly improve the quality of sleep.

2. If you don't know how to exercise every day, it will be suitable for everyone. The Ministry of Health and Health of Japan recommends that healthy elderly people over 65 years old should conduct 40 minutes of physical activities every day. However, if the frequency, strength and time of movement are not well grasped, it will cause muscle fatigue, injury and even strain. Therefore, the amount of movement should be adjusted according to one's own conditions, rather than blindly pursuing "everyday exercise".

3. Three meals a day are not necessarily required. If you still force yourself to eat without being tired, it will cause excessive exercise in the kidneys and stomach and will not be able to get proper rest. Some gastric doctors even suggest that keeping the stomach empty at the right time will help the digestive system health. Therefore, it is better to keep the "three meals a day" than to stick to the "three meals a day" and adjust your dietary habits at the right time.

Through "King Life", life is more fulfilling

Many elderly people often become unconsciously after getting up in the morning, or open the TV to watch the news and continue dramas. In order to avoid wasting time after the age of 60, they might as well develop the habit of "King Life" and make the morning more meaningful.

"Chaoli" can be a walk, stretching, or reading, learning, or even yoga or meditation to make yourself think deeply. There are many online courses now, and you can choose suitable activities based on your interests.

The key is that "Kingsheng" does not need to be limited to a certain form, and as long as it is an activity that can enrich life, it is worth trying. The most important thing is to start with what you can do and develop into habits one by one.

It is recommended that before "Kingsheng", go to the sun outside to let the body feel the morning light. Sunlight can adjust the internal clock, promote serotonin secretion, make the brain awake, and bring more positive emotions.

In addition, Rizhao can also help the body synthesize vitamin D, promote calcification absorption, strengthen bones and teeth, improve immunity, and help reduce pressure and stabilize emotions. Therefore, the sunlight not only helps "realizing the sun", but also brings many health benefits.

Don't sleep time

People have the highest efficiency of brain operation within 3 hours of waking up in the morning. However, this is also different from people. Some people may not wake up and immediately enter the living state because of their physical condition or the condition of the day. Therefore, when performing "Kingsheng", please adjust according to your own rhythm and do not force yourself.

In addition, if sleep time is reduced due to "real life", it will cause burden on the body and affect health in the long run. Therefore, you must ensure adequate sleep and perform morning activities appropriately without affecting your physical condition. As you grow older, knowing how to relax and act within your ability is the key to enjoying life, and you don’t need to force yourself.
