(1) The funeral was glamorous and lively, and rural people attached great importance to it. The more beautiful and lively the funeral, the more filial to the deceased old man. The villagers will boast that the descendants of this family have the ambition to hold such a grand funeral for the elderly.
(2) The night before the funeral, rural people believed that people would ascend to heaven after death. Therefore, after the death of the old man, there should be a vigil the night before the funeral, and there should always be a lamp on both sides to let the soul of the deceased see the way out of the house to heaven. 12 o'clock lights out, so that the old man can walk all the way and not miss home.
(3) Filial piety to the old man before his death, no matter how wonderful the funeral after his death, is not as good as filial piety to her before his death. Filial piety to the elderly is also the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation. What a pity! My son has to be raised and my relatives are not here. Therefore, he should be filial to the old man before his death.
2. What should the elderly pay attention to?
(1) Dark fruits are anti-aging. If you can't make up your mind about buying fruit, choose a dark one. Compared with light-colored fruits, dark-colored fruits contain more antioxidants, vitamins, selenium, iron, calcium, zinc and other substances, which have anti-cancer, anti-cancer and anti-aging effects.
(2) Dinner should be sooner rather than later. Experts say that the peak of calcium excretion is 4 to 5 hours after meals. Eating dinner too late not only affects sleep and accumulates calories, but also easily causes urinary calculi. The best time for dinner for the elderly is 6: 00 or 7: 00 p.m., and do not eat or eat less supper.
(3) Soak black tea in cold water. USDA found that black tea contains more antioxidants than vegetables or carrots, which can effectively help you fight wrinkles and cancer. The latest research in Japan shows that people who drink more than two cups of black tea every day are 30% less likely to be infected by influenza virus than those who don't drink it. Making tea with hot water will release more caffeine and tannin than making tea with cold water, which will lead to periodic headaches, insomnia and other symptoms. Making tea with cold water can make beneficial substances slowly dissolve out without being destroyed.
(4) You should eat some vegetarian dishes. It is not good to eat too much oil, and it is even worse not to eat at all. Experts say that pumpkins and carrots contain a lot of beta-carotene and should not be eaten too lightly. Frying with oil is more conducive to the absorption of nutrients. If you cook porridge with pumpkin, make sure there is oil in other dishes and let them meet in your stomach.
(5) The juice of cold dishes is used for dipping. Many people like to order hodgepodge or fruit and vegetable salad when they go to restaurants, thinking that this can supplement vitamins. In fact, the sauces in these dishes will bring a lot of calories to the originally healthy dishes. It's best to put the prepared sauce in a small bowl and dip it in the cut vegetables, so that all you need is the original 1/6.
(6) Eat some high-fiber food before going to bed. Dr. Judith of MIT? Wortmann said: "Eating low-calorie carbohydrate snacks, such as cereal, half an hour before going to bed will help you sleep." Most people consume only half of the fiber they need (25 to 35g) every day, so it is recommended to make it up at the last minute before going to bed.
(7) Wash meat with cold water and vegetables with hot water. Many people like to soak in hot water for a while before washing meat. As we all know, washing meat with warm water or hot water is not only easy to deteriorate and rot, but also affects the taste of meat. Most importantly, it will accelerate the loss of protein, amino acids and B vitamins in meat. On the contrary, it is better to wash all kinds of fruits and vegetables with warm water. Experts pointed out that warm water is easier to remove pesticide residues on the surface of fruits and vegetables than cold water.
(8) Drinking water before each meal and controlling weight is a "protracted war" for most people. Not long ago, researchers found that drinking two small glasses of water before meals can reduce hunger and food intake, which is more obvious than dieting to lose weight. Brenda from Virginia Tech? David said, "Drinking water is the simplest and cheapest way to control your weight." People who drink water before meals can consume nearly 300 fewer calories a day. Mike, an obesity expert at the University of Glasgow, USA? Professor Lian also pointed out that in addition to drinking water, eating fruits, vegetables and porridge before meals also contains less calories, which helps to improve satiety.
(9) Taking multivitamins after meals, experts say that careful diet in life will lose a lot of B vitamins; Excessive soaking of vegetables will soak a lot of water-soluble vitamins; Foods stored for too long, or cooking methods such as frying and baking may reduce the vitamin content. Taking multivitamins at this time is like taking "insurance", and it is best to eat after meals. Water-soluble vitamins such as folic acid, vitamin B, vitamin C, etc. If eaten on an empty stomach before meals, it will soon enter the small intestine through the stomach and be absorbed, and will be excreted through urine before being fully utilized by the human body. Fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, D, E and K must be dissolved in fatty foods to be absorbed. If you take it on an empty stomach, most of it cannot be absorbed.
(10) Eating onions raw prevents heart disease. Many people carefully pick them out when eating vegetables, which is a big mistake. Kedo, a professor of cardiology at Harvard Medical School? Dr. Gervais pointed out that onions contain a lot of flavonoids that protect the heart. Eating half of them raw or drinking the same amount of onion juice every day can increase the "good cholesterol" of heart patients by about 30%.
