Features: Entering old age is a major turning point in life. Older adults leave their jobs after many years, and their daily lives change, leading to significant psychological and physiological adjustments, or even the emergence of various problems. Due to the aging of the body's tissues and the decline in function, various elderly diseases follow one after another. Therefore, maintaining good health becomes the top priority for older adults. Otherwise, not only will they fail to continue realizing their life's value, but they may also become a burden to their families and society. China has entered an aging society, with the population aged 60 and above exceeding 130 million. The increasing average life expectancy of the Chinese population is an important indicator of rising living standards and a concrete reflection of the enhancement of China's comprehensive national strength. As the elderly population grows, their health issues become increasingly prominent. While extending life should not be the sole pursuit of the elderly, it should be accompanied by improving the quality of life. They should aim for longevity, health, happiness, joy, and a meaningful life.
This book is divided into six parts, providing a comprehensive explanation of issues that concern the elderly, such as physiological and psychological changes, psychological health care for the elderly, exercise and health care for the elderly, the importance of developing good lifestyle habits, early prevention and treatment of common elderly diseases, and dietary health care for the elderly. The focus is on guiding the elderly on how to adapt to life in old age, maintain and improve their health, and enjoy a healthy, happy, and fulfilling later life.
The book is rich in content, up-to-date, scientifically sound, practical, and highly actionable. Its language is concise and easy to understand, making it an excellent read for the elderly. It is also a valuable guide for the children and families of the elderly.
