When you reach middle age, changes in your body are noticeable. In particular, menopausal women may experience a health crisis due to a decrease in female hormones (estrogen), such as vascular disease, osteopenia, and obesity. Therefore, there are many middle-aged people who are eager to take care of their health. However, even if you take good care of your body, unexpected bad things can put your life at risk. Let’s learn regarding the small habits of daily life that protect my body.
◆ “I adjusted my diet and was careful with my lifestyle… ”
Crosswalk traffic accidents are hardly decreasing. A crosswalk is a road with safety signs so that people can cross the road. However, even if the blue light turns on, 100% safety cannot be guaranteed. In particular, it is good for pedestrians to carefully cross crossings with right-turning vehicles while observing the movement of vehicles. This is because there may be traffic violations or drunk drivers.
According to the Road Traffic Authority data, the most law violations in traffic accidents were signal violations and safety distance issues. Of the 933 people who died in traffic accidents while walking on the road last year, 59.8% (558 people) were over the age of 65, up 9.2 percentage points from 2015 (50.6%). If you expand it to those over 50, the number of deaths in the middle-aged and older increases significantly. Middle-aged and older body movements are not the same as when they were young. The driver of the vehicle does not obey the law 100%. It is an era where I have to be careful and cross the road even when the blue light at the crossing turns on.
◆ “I exercised to live a long and healthy life… ”
According to data from the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, accidents during mountain climbing are not only falls and falls, but there are also many cases where people with signs of cardiovascular disease fall down while climbing mountains without knowing it. If you are hiking for health, you should never overdo it. Especially in middle-aged women, there are cases where blood pressure and blood vessels get worse without knowing themselves due to a decrease in female hormones. You may fall down while hurriedly following someone in your group who is walking fast. Going down a steep mountain for a long time can also injure your knee joints. Middle-aged or older should not overdo it even if they exercise. Be humble even in the mountains or at the gym.
◆ Body in 50s vs Mind still in 30s
In everyday life, there are often cases in which the deterioration of the body is not felt. Injuring your back is because you don’t realize your age. Herniated disc ruptures start small. Lifting things at home suddenly leads to serious injuries. This is especially dangerous when lifting heavy objects in front of the chest. Because only the back is used, the burden on the disc is increased. When lifting heavy objects, it is better to use tools or get help from others. Even if it is a light object, it is safe to distribute the force applied to the waist by bending the legs instead of bending the waist.
◆ “Be extra careful when it rains”
Rain is predicted throughout this week due to the rainy season. On a rainy day, if you hold an umbrella down, you will not be able to look ahead. Those who get out of the car should pay attention to motorcycles and vehicles passing by. When going from a narrow road or alley to a wide road, you must first stop and check your left and right. In the case of middle-aged and elderly people, it is better not to rush to cross when the blue light is blinking at the crossing. There are quite a few people who collapse from heart attacks. If there are people around you who have poor blood pressure or cardiovascular problems, it is good to ask them not to be impatient.
