1. Balanced Diet
We must control our diet. Do not eat excessively. Watch the nutritional intake and keep a regular dietary habit. Avoid oily, high calorie foods such as sweet pastries, deep fried snacks, etc. Take adequate portions of various nutrients such as antioxidants, polysaccharides and phytochemicals, which help prevent the ageing process and optimize the body’s immune system.
2. Regular work and rest
Sleep and wake up early. Do not overwork.
3. Stable emotions
Always maintain good emotions. Do not take things too seriously, and always remain joyful.
4. Adequate exercises
Do some simple exercise in the morning such as taking a slow walk. Take a stroll at the park after dinner. It will not only strengthen our body, it will also allow us to make new aquaintances.
5. Regular check up
Health checks are very important. We must go for regular health checks to detect any problem and go for early treatment if required.
6. Self-improvement and learning
Attend a languate or drawing class during spare time. While broadening our knowledge, it also provides a source of spiritual solace as we partake in the fun of lifelong learning.
7. Leisure activities
Pick up some hobbies or nurture some sense of humor. This helps relieve our tension. Activities such as chess playing, calligraphy and traveling are excellent pastimes.
8. Social welfare activities
If we have the time, why not spend some of it on social welfare activities or voluntary jobs. Regular meetings not only help kill the extra time, but will also keep us abreast of the latest happenings in the community, exchanging views, sharing our experiences and keeping in touch with younger pople, so that we feel remarkably younger.
9. Retirement planning
The greatest principle among old people would be to preserve our wealth and sense of security.
10. Great time with grandchildren
Spend more time with family, and make arrangements for common activities. If staying with children, we must learn to understand the minds of the young people so that we can enjoy truly harmonious family life.
