Features: Aging is not a disease; it is an indispensable part of a person's entire life. Generally, people over the age of 60 are more prone to changes in their physical condition compared to other age groups. A common characteristic is "deficiency"—immunity begins to decline, and the body's morphology and physiological functions gradually deteriorate. As age increases, this deficiency becomes more pronounced, which is an undeniable fact. However, the way each person ages is different. Some remain healthy and energetic even in their 80s, while others begin to show symptoms of various elderly diseases at an earlier age. Even in the same person, the rate of aging varies across different organs. For example, some people's heart function remains strong, but their digestive function may significantly weaken. Therefore, as the saying goes, if you believe you are old, then you are old. If you believe you are young, then you are still young. As a dedicated work on elderly health care, this book has three key features: telling you what you don't know, what you want to know, and what you should know. This book strives to convey the most concise language, guiding you on what care and health methods to adopt in physical care, daily exercise, mental regulation, dietary health, disease prevention and treatment, as well as what measures to take in emergencies, what to do first and what to do next, what the doctor might do, and what you should cooperate with. All you need to do is follow the reading in a clear and logical manner.
