Care for the 80-year-old should pay attention to several aspects:
First, record the usual physical care of the elderly? Medical equipment should be sufficient.
If an 80-year-old man can still walk by himself, he'd better walk slowly on the ground every day. The walking time can be only short, not long. Don't sit or lie in bed for a long time. If you can't move easily, it's best to massage the elderly regularly to exercise their bones and muscles. The diet is light and easy to digest. Or adjust it according to your own situation, and don't be too full every time you eat. Keep a good mood and keep warm.
People with old people at home should be equipped with more medical equipment such as thermometers, sphygmomanometers and blood glucose meters. Because the 80-year-old man will have chronic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction even if he is physically strong, if there is any emergency, we will not be too passive to use these instruments.
Second, the diet should be scientifically planned? A targeted and reasonable diet.
In ordinary life, because the elderly are old, they have a lot of stomach problems and slow digestion, and many foods cannot be absorbed immediately. At this time, you need to observe carefully, and you should make some absorbed and soft food in your usual cooking. For example, if you are confused, the rice should be steamed as soft as possible. The style of vegetables should be comprehensive, and the usual protein, fat, carbohydrates and minerals should be comprehensively and reasonably matched.
Moreover, when we plan the diet of the elderly, we must judge the diseases of the elderly. For example, the elderly have diabetes. At this time, it is necessary to seriously avoid some foods with high sugar content in the diet. At the same time, you can also have a targeted diet according to the characteristics of food. For example, some vegetables can prevent high blood pressure, some foods can replenish qi and blood, and some foods can lower blood sugar, all of which need our observation and memory in daily life.
These are really hard to do, but if you love the elderly and your parents, please allow yourself to accept this reality. Because the health of the elderly is closely related to your care, it is difficult, but you should also know that the happiness of the elderly is your real happiness.
Third, do the usual rehabilitation exercise? Develop a persistent attitude.
The 80-year-old man's body can't be as alive and kicking as our young people. They become slow and powerless. Then, in normal life, the elderly need to do some moderate and small-scale exercise, and don't let the body be in a very stagnant state. We can take the elderly for a walk more often, remember to be slow and have a certain rhythm. Don't worry, let the elderly do what they can, just exercise 15-20 minutes every day, so that the whole body blood circulation is smooth, which is good for some chronic diseases.
In a word, taking care of the 80-year-old needs us to be more careful and considerate, and we need to pay more love to care for them, because only in this way can we make the elderly feel that life is drawing to a close, and our care will make them feel happier.
