As people grow older, their physical quality is constantly declining. Some elderly people have some hearing problems, and they often cannot hear what the other party is saying during communication.
For the middle-aged and elderly people in front of the screen, if you want to protect your hearing from damage, you should first stay away from the messy environment.
If a person is exposed to a loud environment for a long time , it will damage the ciliary cells of our ears and reduce human hearing.
In addition, reduce the frequency of wearing headphones, and try to lower the volume when watching videos or listening to music.
2. Good heart function
The older a person is, the organs and tissues of the body are gradually aging. The heart is the root of our blood circulatory system. The older a person is, the faster the heart function will age. This is also a normal physiological phenomenon.
However, for the elderly, if there is no cardiovascular disease or coronary heart disease, this can also be shown from the side, the elderly are still relatively healthy, and their heart function is relatively strong.
To maintain your heart function, you might as well eat more fresh vegetables, fruits , fish and other foods in your daily life. At the same time, try to choose olive oil or rapeseed oil when cooking to avoid excessive intake of vegetable oil by the human body. , which can better maintain the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health of the elderly.
3. Normal vision
The aging of organs will also affect people's vision. Some middle-aged and elderly people will have presbyopia, and even other eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration will appear in the eyes.
These eye diseases will also have a certain impact on the retina, which will reduce people's vision and make people feel blurry when they see external things. If they cannot be controlled in time , they may even cause people to lose their vision.
It is recommended that you should exercise your eyesight more in your daily life. Don't stare at the computer or mobile phone for a long time. You can properly look at the distance or other green plants.
