Elderly health jingle allegro

> The bamboo boards make a clattering noise. Elderly friends, listen to me.

> A glass of warm water in the morning will clear your intestines and stomach easily

>Eat one egg a day, don’t throw away the yolk, it’s more nutritious

> One pound of vegetables, half a pound of milk, less salt, less sugar, less fishy taste

> Don’t walk more than 6,000 steps, save your knees and use them

>Moving is better than not moving. Don’t try to show off with your old friend.

> Quit smoking, limit drinking, don’t stay up late, and take a nap at half an hour

> If you are in a good mood and meddle less, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.

> If you feel dizzy or have tightness in your chest, don’t hold on to it. Go see a doctor immediately.

> Don’t be lazy about annual physical examinations. Treat minor problems early and avoid suffering.

> Hey, if you treat minor problems early, you will suffer less!

Last week, I was doing a health screening for the elderly in the community. I came across more than 30 elderly people who had seven or eight contradictory health tips saved on their mobile phones. Some said that eating overnight vegetables would cause cancer, and some said that eating three kilograms of vegetables every day to cleanse the intestines. I couldn’t tell the true from the fake. There were also two old people who followed the "health tips" on the Internet and took laxatives randomly, which caused their blood pressure to go to the hospital. At that time, I thought that instead of handing out a hundred professional manuals that no one would read, it would be better to come up with content that old men and women are willing to learn and pass on. I happened to meet Uncle Wang from the Allegro team to prescribe antihypertensive medicine, and the two of them decided to make an Allegro jingle as soon as they met.

Speaking of this, some people may ask, is the statement here absolute? Of course not. There is no one-size-fits-all standard for health. Take the saying "Eat one egg a day, don't throw away the yolk, which is nutritious." There have been two factions arguing on the Internet before. One faction said that the elderly with poor metabolism should not eat egg yolks for fear of raising cholesterol and clogging blood vessels. The other faction said that the lecithin in egg yolks is good for the brain, and it would be a waste not to eat it. We checked the special recommendations for the elderly in the 2022 version of the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents". It is perfectly fine for healthy elderly people to eat one whole egg every day. If they have particularly high triglycerides and cholesterol, eating one egg yolk every other day will have no effect. There is no need to talk about "yellow" discoloration. Uncle Wang himself was afraid of high cholesterol before, so he didn't dare to touch egg yolks for three years. Last year, the albumin in his physical examination was low, and his legs felt weak after walking even two steps. Later, he ate this amount for three months. Last month, he climbed the fifth floor and carried the Allegro box without panting.

There is also the saying "Don't walk more than 6,000 steps." Many elderly people who love sports have given advice before, saying that it is okay to walk 10,000 steps a day. This is correct. The Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Association recommends that elderly people with joint degeneration and who do not exercise much should control the number of active steps within 6,000 per day. For elderly people who exercise all year round and have no joint problems, it is no problem to step up to 81,000 steps. The key is not to compare with others or push yourself too hard. Your knees will not hurt when walking and you will not feel tired after walking. Take Uncle Li from our community as an example. He used to believe in the saying "You can live to 99 if you walk ten thousand steps". He walked 20,000 steps with a pedometer every day and competed with his old friend to see who could walk more. As a result, his meniscus was worn out in half a year and the surgery cost more than 20,000. Now he can only walk a thousand steps slowly downstairs every day, which is not worth the gain.

As for the phrase "mind your own business," it was Sister Liu who mentioned it. She has worked in nursing care for the elderly for so many years, and said that 80% of the problems of the elderly are caused by anger. They are either worried about their sons buying a house, or worrying about their grandchildren's studies, and some have quarreled with their old friends in the community every day while dancing in the square. We met a 72-year-old aunt before. Because her grandson refused to enroll in the cram school she was looking for, she was so angry that her blood pressure soared and she suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. After being rescued, she couldn't move half her body. Why bother? Of course, there are also some old people who say that I just can't stop worrying and that's okay. I just have to control myself. Don't shoulder all the problems of my children and grandchildren on myself. If I am in good health, I can reduce the burden on my juniors.

Our community Allegro team has now put together a proficient program for this set of Allegro. It was performed at a community party last month, and more than 20 elderly people came to ask for words that day, which was ten times more efficient than our previous health handbook distribution. If you have elderly people in your family, or you are about to retire, you can save money. You don’t have to do everything to death, just choose what suits you. After all, there is no standard answer to health. Comfort and stability are better than anything else.

Anyway, I have already sent it to my mother. Now she plays allegro and sings with the aunts in the community every day, and she no longer spreads the health rumors that "eating garlic can fight cancer" in the family group.
