1, a prerequisite for longevity
1, life lies in contentment
Deng Kai said that people around us often say such pessimistic and negative words as "old people are useless", "can die but not get sick" and "children are not sensible", as if such a miserable life is a necessary stage for old people.
He said: "We really lost to young people in some ways because they are full of energy. But we still have advantages, and we must look at our own strengths, so as to enhance our self-confidence. If we don't have confidence, how can we persuade employers to hire us? "
He also said that the elderly who lack economic ability need active exercise. With a healthy body, they can avoid getting sick, reduce medical expenses and greatly reduce the burden of life.
Besides the workplace, Deng Kai's most frequent places are Meric Reservoir and East Coast Park. Exercising at least three days a week is one of the ways for Deng Kai to maintain physical and mental health and actively resist aging. Parks are also places for children to play, and Deng Kai often takes his children and grandchildren there to enjoy family happiness.
"Life can have such old age, what else can you ask for? Life doesn't care how much you have, but whether you know enough. "
2. Health and economic ability
More than ten years ago, Deng Kai was engaged in futures and gold trading in a trading company. After retirement, he resisted idleness very much, so he began to study and engage in the work he was interested in. At present, he is a part-time senior consultant and is often invited to offer training courses in hospitals, elderly centers, enterprises and nursing homes. To publicize the correct concept and health care knowledge that retirement should have and to counsel the elderly in need.
Deng Kai believes that two important conditions are health and economic ability, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is an important means to successfully embark on the road of longevity. He explained to the elderly in class what will happen to the body with the growth of age, what nutrition should be taken in, how to adjust the mentality and so on.
Not only the elderly come to class, but many of them are middle-aged people in their fifties. They want to get ready before entering the music era. He said that many old people did not make enough preparations before retirement, and as a result, they were helpless in their later years, both physically, mentally and economically.
Economically, if you are not ready, you must manage well. For example, he said that many friends around him began to invest in stocks after retirement, and some started small businesses, but they lost money due to lack of experience and knowledge. "They don't have a job, and it's hard to earn it back if they lose money. Therefore, we must do what we can and do what we can. "
As the saying goes, "Raise a child to prevent old age, and the child will not worry about eating when he is old", but Deng Kai thinks this sentence may not be timely in today's society. As the cost of living rises again and again, the burden on children's own families is very heavy, and the medical expenses of parents are even worse. He said: "The cost depends on the severity of the disease, but it is long-term. If it goes on for a long time, no matter how big the love is, it will be diluted. "
He thinks that he must have a certain financial ability, and the money given by his children can only be considered redundant. Can't say they are unfilial.
3. Life must be full.
In the past year, Deng Kai visited many elderly centers, met many elderly people from all walks of life, and listened to stories told by people of similar age. He feels the same way.
Deng Kai is the only child in the family. /kloc-his mother died after a stroke in 0/3 years, and the burden of medical expenses fell on his shoulders. In these years, his mother's illness cost him more than 300,000 yuan, with an average of 1500 per month. Although life is hard, he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
Adhering to the belief of "never too old to learn", Deng Kai joined the community voluntary work after retirement, and studied psychology and psychological counseling at the same time, so as to help people in need more comprehensively.
Speaking of last year's harvest, he expressed his satisfaction. The reporter asked him about his plans for this year. He said that keeping healthy is the main plan, and it is also important to enjoy the warmth between people.
He said: "I don't ask too much. Life can be dull, but it must be enriched. "
Talking with Deng Kai, you can directly feel his infinite positive energy. He never thinks that people are useless when they are old. He wants to live a full life, give full play to his strengths, and help others to make himself happy, so he lives comfortably.
For Deng Kai, helping others became the most enjoyable work in his later years, and it was also the most brilliant years in his life.
