00:00Many diseases are not illnesses. They're signs of aging.
00:03The doctor shared five priceless pieces of advice for the elderly.
00:07You are not sick. You are simply growing old.
00:10Many of the things you consider illnesses are actually natural signs of aging.
00:14Weak memory. This is not Alzheimer's. It's your brain's self-protective mechanism.
00:19Don't be afraid. It's a sign of aging, not disease.
00:23If you forget where you put your keys or an object, but later find it, it's not dementia.
00:27Slow walking or unsteady steps. This is not paralysis. It's muscle degeneration.
00:34The cure is not medicine. It's movement. Walk as much as possible.
00:38Stay active insomnia. Difficulty sleeping. It's not a disease.
00:42Your brain's rhythm is simply changing. With age, your sleep cycle naturally shifts.
00:48Sleeping pills are dangerous if used repeatedly.
00:51They increase risks of falls, memory loss, and brain damage.
00:54The best sleep medicine for elders is sunlight.
00:58Get daylight exposure and maintain a regular sleep routine.
01:02Body pain. This isn't arthritis or rheumatism.
01:05It's a natural sign of aging nerves.
01:08Your body is reacting normally.
01:10Pain in arms, legs, or joints.
01:12When older people say, my whole body aches,
01:14it's usually not bone weakness but slowed nerve signals.
01:18The brain feels pain more strongly.
01:20A condition known as central sensitization.
01:21The best remedy isn't painkillers, but gentle exercise, soaking feet in warm water,
01:28warm compresses, and light massage.
01:30These are more effective than medicine.
01:33Irregular medical reports.
01:35Many medical test results in older adults appear abnormal.
01:39Only because they use outdated youth-based standards.
01:43According to the World Health Organization,
01:45medical standards for elders should be more flexible.
01:48Slightly high cholesterol is not harmful.
01:51It can actually indicate longevity.
01:53Since cholesterol is essential for hormones and cell health.
01:57For seniors, blood pressure below 150 90th's MMHG is acceptable,
02:03not necessarily 140 90th's.
02:05So don't mistake aging for illness and don't fear natural bodily changes.
02:10Aging is not a disease.
02:12It's a natural journey of life advice for elders and their children.
02:151. Remember, not every discomfort is a disease.
02:202. Don't frighten the elderly with medical reports or health ads.
02:243. The greatest duty of children is not just taking parents to hospitals,
02:28but walking with them.
02:30Talking, eating, sitting in the sun, and spending time together.
02:34Aging is not your enemy.
02:36Stopping your life is.
02:38Stay healthy.
02:39Stay happy.
02:39A few beautiful thoughts from an oncologist.
02:411. Old age begins at 60 and lasts till 80.2.
02:46The fourth stage of life is from 80 to 90.
02:483. Longevity begins after 90 and ends with death.
02:524. The greatest problem of old age is loneliness.
02:56Often, one spouse passes away first,
02:58and the survivor feels like a burden to the family.
03:01That's why maintaining friendships and social connections is vital.
03:05Golden principles of aging gracefully take control of your life.
03:08Decide when, where, and with whom to meet, what to eat, where, or where to live.
03:14If you don't, you risk becoming a burden on others.
03:17William Shakespeare once said,
03:19I am always happy.
03:20Why?
03:21Because I expect nothing from anyone.
03:23Expectations always cause pain.
03:25Problems never last forever.
03:27Every problem has a solution.
03:29Except death.
03:30Six rules of life.
03:311. Before reacting, take a deep breath.
03:352. Before speaking, listen.
03:373. Before criticizing, look at yourself.
03:404. Before writing, think.
03:435. Before attacking, pause.
03:466. Before dying, make life beautiful.
03:50Remember, the best relationships aren't with perked people,
03:53but with those who are learning to live life beautifully.
03:56See others' flaws, but appreciate their strengths too.
04:00If you want happiness, make someone else happy.
04:02If you want to receive, learn to give first.
04:05Stay around good, kind, and interesting people,
04:09and be one yourself.
04:10Even in hard times with tears in your eyes,
04:13smile and say everything is fine,
04:15because we are the beautiful fruit of life's evolution.
