If you understand the word "play", you can live as long as the sky

Life from youth to old age is an irresistible law of nature, but we can choose our own attitude towards life! Knowing how to have fun is an elegant way of life, a youthful mindset, and the best way to delay aging!

"Playing Sutra" is "Longevity Sutra"

In fact, almost all centenarians have their own set of “playing tips”.

When Newton, the world-famous scientist, grew old, he loved to use straw to blow soap bubbles in the sun. The brilliant colors always made him intoxicated.

The famous economist Yu Guangyuan even calls himself a "big playologist". Studying "play" has almost become his second major. He is no worse than young people in playing computer, writing blogs, and playing intellectual games.

Elderly people who know how to have fun will definitely be healthy and live a long life!

"Playing" can help the elderly train their brain's sensitivity and slow down memory decline. Outdoor activities can also enhance the lung capacity and blood circulation of the elderly and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases.

If you win some group games or competitive games, you will feel a sense of pride and feel that "I am still useful."

The most important thing is that playing can help the elderly get rid of loneliness, make their minds open and bright, which is naturally beneficial to prolonging their life.

The most energetic ones are always those old people who love to play

The elderly go out together, dance, play ball, walk their birds, write on the ground, and play chess. This not only exercises their bodies, but also makes a big difference in their mental state.

Even if they do not go out, many elderly people have their own ways of playing, such as reading, drinking tea, knitting sweaters, growing flowers and plants, writing big characters, painting landscapes, and learning to cook, all of which can keep them busy and happy.

Don’t ever think that “playing” is only for young people!

Some elderly people like to surf the Internet and use WeChat, but they are afraid that others will say that they are "still messing around at their old age." In fact, there is no need to worry about this at all.

Under the premise of ensuring health and safety, the elderly should try to "play" all new things. The elderly can try posting on forums, taking photos with digital cameras, sharing on WeChat Moments, etc.

The elderly should have a "playful heart" and the more they play, the healthier and happier they will be.

Chinese elderly people in particular need to learn to cultivate their own “playfulness”. After retiring, many people either feel that they have lost their goals in life and have no interest in doing anything; or they revolve around their children and grandchildren, willing to be family nannies and unwilling to spend any more time on "fun".

Moreover, even if Chinese elderly people want to play, they tend to do so in a restrained manner. Compared to the elderly in China who believe that "the older you get, the more stable you have to be", the elderly abroad are proud of being "old naughty boys".

The older you get, the more open-minded you should be. It would be such a pity if you didn't dare to try things when you were young. "Playing" is the process of finding confidence and happiness.

Start playing at home, use your hands and brain to prevent dementia

In fact, home is a great place to play.

Foreign elderly people have a special fondness for home decoration. They make their own hanging ornaments and cushions, grow flowers and plants, and paint the walls. This not only beautifies the room, but also provides good exercise for the hands and brain, and can prevent Alzheimer's disease.

You can learn from foreign elders and exercise your brain like this:

Games such as "Find the Difference" and "Maze" in newspapers can train the eyes; keeping accounts, typing, and posting on WeChat Moments can train the brain; listening to music and dancing can effectively stimulate the elderly's reflex nerves and improve their mood.

In addition, cross-stitch is also a very suitable entertainment for the elderly. It not only uses the hands, eyes and brain, but the embroidered works can also bring a great sense of accomplishment.

Go out and play, the best place to exercise

The elderly must have a group of like-minded playmates. Some elderly people play with flowers and birds, but rarely interact with others. This is not a good state of life. Elderly people need friends more than young people.

Playing should not be limited to the home. The elderly should go out with friends more often, do things like singing, dancing, photography, etc., and participate in various club activities.

Traveling is also an excellent way to broaden your mind, increase your knowledge, exercise your body, and add a touch of color to the monotonous life of old age, which is very beneficial to your body and mind.
