Features: Aging is not a disease; it is simply an indispensable part of a person's entire life. Generally, people over the age of 60 are more prone to physical changes compared to other age groups. A common characteristic is "deficiency"—a decline in immunity, gradual deterioration in body morphology and physiological functions. 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 vibrant even into their 80s, while others develop various symptoms of elderly diseases at an earlier age. Even in the same person, the rate of aging varies across different organs. For example, some may have fully functioning hearts but significantly weakened digestive systems. 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 senior 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. It strives to convey, in concise language, the care and health methods you should adopt in physical care, daily exercise, mental conditioning, 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 do. All you need to do is follow the reading in a clear and logical manner.
