Which one is best for cancer, chronic disease or dementia? Expert answers may surprise you

Keeping up: For the living elderly, the biggest threat is the most remedy

The elderly medical doctor Joan. When reporting on the embarrassment of U.S. end care, Joanne Lynne used the following question: "How many people do you expect to die?" Lynne then offered three options: cancer, chronic heart or pulmonary disease, or weakness and dementia. Her charts depict the final situation of each disease (Y axis display function, X display time process), and the injuries of each disease she describes surprised the audience and me. Cancer usually has an acute recession period of weeks or months before a patient dies. Chronic cardiac or pulmonary diseases are several severe cases, intersecting a period of weakening and relatively stable function. The third situation is the expansion and weakness that may be accompanied by dementia, including a long-term slow decline, which is the worst dream for most people, waiting to fall on many mature Americans. They are usually over eighty-five years old, and are disproportionately widowed.

We do not know the cause of dementia, so it is difficult to prevent it, but we know that the extremes of aging can prevent dementia, even those who are suffering from the disease. In contrast, its fragility indicators (decreased weight, weak, fatigue, slow walking speed, reduced activity) are easy to detect. Reliable detection is indeed true, but generally doctors perform less frequently than geriatric doctors. It is natural to lose muscle strength due to age and is often ignored, but it may eventually become powerless to step out of the bathtub or climb the ladder. My mother didn't like showers. She installed many handles that seemed weird at first, but she became too weak to pull herself into and out of the bathtub.

Maintaining physical activity can greatly improve the physical fitness, muscle size and strength of mature people, and strengthen the strength and balance of bones. This can improve and even prevent cognitive decline, and can also help and even reverse the number of factors that contribute to weakening, regardless of how old or late you are.

Even higher-age mature people who are already weak can achieve great benefits from appropriate intervention measures such as walking or simple weight training. Those who are mature should not work harder than younger people to maintain the same level of health. Dr. Lux said, "What you want to do is never too bad. This is a bit like seeing an iceberg far away. As long as you correct the course of one or two degrees, you can completely avoid hitting the iceberg."

Make the "organ recital" shorter

"organ recital" - I heard this, referring to the longer and longer chatter about pain and disease as I grow older - there is no need to keep up with the content of the chat. I want to know the recent situation of my friends’ health problems, but I am sure we can train each other and finish it quickly. I know a lady who lives overseas and she comes back every year to keep up with everyone in her hometown. She would remind her friends that she came back to hear what happened in their lives, not in the interior. Once the organ solo session began, she reminded her friend that she was not a doctor and turned away. "It took me a lot of years to finally get rid of their habits," she said with a smile. Speaking of your illness, maybe no one is really that interested except your mother.

At a meeting, a colleague at the news work asked each speaker about his feelings about getting older. My favorite answer is: "Like a painful trunk, it moves everywhere." I think of it as the pain theory of "only one baby crying at a time." When we took the second child home from the hospital, his two-year-old sister suddenly started to cry, and my husband announced without expression: "Only one baby can cry at a time!" He told her truthfully. This made her a big surprise and gave us enough time to restrain our temper. Now if I sit for a long time or walk too long or go like this, I feel pain, but if my back is uncomfortable, I won’t notice the knee problem. There can only be one baby crying at a time.

I must remind myself that pain is just pain, and it does not matter as much as it is. My daughter, who was a kid, and I were diagnosed with Cubic Pain Syndrome and were regularly treated with physical treatment. It was difficult for me to think of this as the first thing I had to remember when I woke up early, and the result was to help myself stand upright. My grandmother called the stiffness, my plastic surgeon called the stenosis, my moxibustionist called the blood stasis, and my general practitioner called it the stasis. I don't talk about this with others, one because it's boring, and the other is that I don't want to give it more money.

My goal is to continue doing what I want to do. So far everything has been smooth, although the final column has been changing. I used to ride a single car and rushed all the way, but now I'm changing to the slow lane. I still walk fast on the sidewalk, and once I have to slow down, it is like a dew. Ruth Friendly was unwilling to accept it. "You feel like you're still fifty, sixty, sixty or sixty, or seventy-five," said the TV producer. She drove from Westchester to town every Sunday to attend family dinners. "We were walking along the river road, and suddenly I couldn't help saying, 'Can you slow down?' This is not me, I don't like that," Frandley told me. That was her before, but her smaller pace could not stop her from participating in a lively social life and hard work.

"My body is very irritating, even if it is only compared to two years ago." George, a 92-year-old teacher and film producer. George Stoney said. "Just going out of the building where I live, I was constantly ahead of everyone. I still couldn't accept it, and this situation always made me angry." That was not the only evil, but he wouldn't deny it. When a student complained about the professor's hearing, Stoney immediately purchased a hearing aid. There were almost always people on the subway, "I'm always so excited to sit down," said Stoney. So, I feel offended is a fool. That is the internal age difference, and the unpleasant words on the bus are even more insignificant. "Will you be happy to give the elderly or disabled?" The writing method of the verse is full of condescending and surrendering. The phrase should be written like this: "Please give anyone who seems to need it."
