Anti-aging also requires movement! Small exercises make you younger

Exercise is an effective way to make your body healthier, and it is also a good way to maintain health and fight aging. Regular exercise of all parts of the body can make you younger and younger. Let’s learn some anti-aging health exercises from the editor below.

"Life lies in movement" and "Use it or lose it" are recognized rules of health preservation. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people should pay attention to exercising the important "components" of life and do the five "gyms" well to maintain proper vitality and avoid premature functional degeneration.

1. Exercise your brain

Relevant research shows that human aging starts from the brain. If you can persist in brain exercise, that is, use your brain more, you can extend the life of brain cells. Actively participate in "brain gymnastics" activities such as computers, chess, writing, and memory to create a youthful brain.

2. Practice your mouth

The human mouth has two major functions: eating and talking. Eating is for physiological needs, and talking is for social needs. You should click your teeth and chew your food frequently and maintain a proper amount of food; you should also talk a certain amount, say what you want to say, and go to more places where you can talk so that you can have a healthy mouth.

3. Practice your fingers

As the saying goes, the fingers are connected to the heart. The hands are closely related to the brain. Middle-aged and elderly people can prevent Alzheimer's disease by exercising their fingers or stimulating their palms more often. Therefore, you should participate in more activities such as weaving, playing the piano, cutting and pasting, and handicrafts, and do some finger gymnastics to practice your "palm kung fu".

4. Practice breathing

Breathing is the foundation of human life. Middle-aged and elderly people should practice deep breathing in places with good environments such as waterside, woods, and mountain streams. When exhaling, expand your abdomen and exhale all the air in your lungs; when inhaling, tighten your abdomen. This helps increase lung capacity and oxygen absorption.

5. Practice tranquility

Middle-aged and elderly people should adapt to the laws of aging, do less strenuous activities, and practice tranquility during their free time and before going to bed every day. Keep calm, focus your emotions, don't look around, don't listen to other things, eliminate distractions, and be empty and quiet. Entering into a state of tranquility can help prolong life.
