Shaking the grain gas to eliminate, straight vein circulation, the disease shall not be born, such as the household pivot, the end of immortality." The elderly due to retirement, physiology, motor function decline and the impact of disease, so that the elderly movement and physical labor to reduce, is not conducive to health. Therefore, the elderly should pay attention to engage in appropriate sports and physical labor.
