Many diseases are not really diseases, but normal age related changes. A Beijing hospital director has given five important advice for elderly — You're not sick, you're just getting old. Many diseases that you consider a disease are actually signs of the body aging. 1- weak memory This is not Alzheimer's, but a self-protective process of the elderly brain.

The cure is not medicine, but exercise. 3- Insomnia (not sleeping) This is not a disease, but the brain is changing its rhythm. This is a change in sleep structure.

Exercise and physical therapy are the most useful remedies. Foot hot water bath, hot bake and light massage before bed are more effective than medicine. 6- Abnormalities in the investigation report It's not always a sign of illness, but standard index can be chronic. 7- World Health Organization (WHO) advises that health check protocols for elderly should be flexible.

Three things for elderly and their children: 1-Remember — not every inconvenience is a disease. The biggest threat to the 2- elderly is "fear". Don't panic after seeing the report, nor get trapped in the advertisements. The greatest duty of the 3-children is not only to take to the hospital, but to walk, sit in the sun, eat, talk and spend time with parents. > Old age is not enemy — it's another name of "life", But stagnation is the enemy.

Thoughts from a Brazilian oncologist (cancer specialist): 1- Old age starts from 60 years to 80. 2-extreme aging 80s to 90s. 3-longevity from 90s to death. The biggest problem of the elders is — Loneliness. Often husband and wife are not old together, one goes first. Widows or widows become a burden on the family. So important to keep relationship with friends, Keep similarity so the kids don't be burdened. Some personal advice: Never lose control of your life.
