Health care points by age from 40s to 60s
As we become an aging society, how we live is more important than how we live to 100 years old. However, there are many cases where they do not pay attention to their health care as much as they are interested in it because they are 'cumbersome and busy'.
The most important thing in health is consistency. Here are some tips that you can do consistently by age group.
Seasonal health care tips for those in their 40s
Spring: It is recommended to make a plan for health care and set it as a period of adaptation. On sunny days, take a walk for at least 30 minutes to warm up your frozen body. If you enjoyed spicy food before, from now on, change your taste to less salty, less spicy and bland food.
Summer: I'm looking for exercises that fit my age and body. The body is in their 40s, but the mind is in their 20s. Another option if you have children is to find a sport they can enjoy together.
Fall: Be sure to undergo a health check-up. Since the risk of heart disease increases rapidly from the age of 40, it is recommended to have a checkup every 1 to 2 years. In autumn, when the temperature drops, blood vessels constrict and the blood supply becomes insufficient. Therefore, it is recommended to wear warm clothes to control body temperature when going out.
Winter: There are a lot of events. Even if you have a drinking party, it is good to control the amount you drink less than you used to to prevent liver disease. As the weather gets colder, the floors are often slippery and stiff. It may take some time to recover from minor bruises, so it is recommended to wear shoes with high traction.
Seasonal health care tips for those in their 50s
Spring: As it is the last time you can change the rest of your life with health care, it is imperative that you make a health plan. If you enjoyed a meat-centered diet, change it little by little to a vegetarian diet. During the changing season, consume seasonal herbs to overcome spring fatigue.
Summer: I lose a lot of strength, so I do light strength training regularly.
If you have to do aerobic due to obesity, biking, hiking, swimming, etc. are recommended. Avoid sitting only in front of the air conditioner because you directly feel the deterioration of your body's functions.
Autumn: Beware of cerebrovascular diseases that can occur due to sudden temperature drop. In addition, although health check-ups were started at the age of 40, health check-ups are mandatory in their 50s. It is necessary to know exactly about one's body abnormalities through detailed examinations such as liver cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer, not the basics such as blood pressure and diabetes.
Winter: Excessive year-end celebrations can be detrimental to your health all at once. In line with the purpose of ending the year, enjoy the atmosphere rather than drinking.
Keep in mind that drinking too much at the pace of younger employees can lead to serious illness, not heartburn for a few days.
Health care in your 60s, how?
From the age of 60, you need to take care of your body regardless of the season.
The most important disease is osteoporosis, which is a typical geriatric musculoskeletal disease. Osteoporosis, which accounts for 70% of people over the age of 60, is a disease that causes small holes in the bones. It is known only after a certain degree of progression, so it is sometimes called a ‘silent disease’.
For prevention, regular exercise and regular intake of calcium and vitamin D are necessary.
Vitamin D, which is especially needed by people with osteoporosis, is produced more when exposed to sunlight. Therefore, it is recommended to take a walk outdoors regularly in spring and fall.
In autumn and winter, when the floors are slippery and the weather is cold, it is important to eat a balanced diet with vitamin D-rich mackerel, tuna, yolk, and cheese.
