Living healthy and prolonging aging is the desire of every middle-aged and elderly person to pursue, but the method is really simple. 1 international research has found that as long as you have a balanced diet and maintain athletic habits, you can reduce the aging of the immune system brought about by physical and mental stress. Experts suggest that the elderly should be encouraged to exercise more and eat more nutrients when they are late.

US research has proved that the pressure is strong and the ageing is fast, and reliable sports diet improves. USC students quoted and analyzed the data of 5,744 American adults over 50 in the "Health and Retirement Research" of the University of Michigan. The subjects need to fill out a social pressure experience question paper, including pressure-related life events, chronic pressure, daily discrimination and final discrimination, and finally conducted blood sample analysis. The study found that the subjects with higher pressure scores have poor immune characteristics, higher leukocyte wear ratio, and heavy pressure, which will lead to a smaller number of T cells. Further research has proved that if you can maintain normal diet and develop exercise habits, the relationship between reducing pressure and accelerating immune aging can be related to reducing pressure. In a different sentence, as long as you have a balanced diet and exercise regularly, even if the pressure is high, it can inhibit the speed of immune aging.

Liu Jiayi, attending physician of the Department of Psychiatry at Chang Geng Hospital, said that in the past 20 years, research has proven that pressure will reduce immune function and cause inflammatory responses, and both of these are related to "increasing the risk of disease" and "aging". The so-called pressure refers to the "physical and mental reaction of a body to the source of pressure." Liu Jiayi said that there are hundreds of sources of pressure in life, many of which are unavoidable. How to "learn and enhance pressure adaptability" is a subject that must be faced in life. This study found that as long as you improve your diet and develop your exercise habits, you can solve the immune aging related to pressure, providing the most powerful indicator of fertilization. Simple exercise and balanced diet. Ye Yaxin, director of the Psychological Health Center of Dong's Foundation for the Prolonged Aging, said that many elderly people do not like activities, but the less they exercise, the faster they age. If they are lying in bed or in soda all day, they will become less and less willing to move, causing sarcopenia and causing all kinds of diseases. How to improve the vitality of the elders? Ye Yaxin suggested that we encourage more and start with simple exercises to avoid repelling activities due to feeling pressure and setbacks. For example, walking from the room to the living room, coming back several times a day, and recording the number of times. It can also be paired with a grip device, so that the elders can watch the TV and move their hands at the same time.

As for diet, it is recommended to first understand what elders like to eat, examine the ingredients of the food, and choose foods that are easy to chew and swallow, such as eggs or tofu, and pair them with different cooking changes to improve the appetite of the elderly. Ye Yaxin reminds that children should improve their diet and sports behavior as much as possible. As long as they increase their sense of pleasure, they can reduce physical and mental stress, thereby prolonging aging and reducing the risk of infection.
