Health care precautions for the elderly in dog days 1, drink less and don't smoke.
When people reach a certain age, the functions of many organs of the body begin to decline to varying degrees. So at this time, the harm of smoking and drinking to the human body is more obvious. This is why some people can drink a lot of white wine when they are young, but they will feel dizzy when they drink a little when they are old. And lung function will decline when you get old. If you smoke at this time, it is easy to cause respiratory diseases and it is more difficult to recover. It is suggested that middle-aged and elderly people pay attention to health, drink less and don't smoke to make their bodies healthier.
2, heatstroke prevention and moisture prevention, beware of diseases.
Summer is hot and humid, and the elderly should avoid or reduce going out in hot days. When going out, they should wear straw hats or umbrellas, and don't let the sun shine directly on their heads. Especially the frail old people, they should avoid walking in the scorching sun or exposure to the sun to prevent heatstroke. Change your sweaty clothes frequently, take a bath frequently, keep your skin clean, prevent skin diseases, and pay more attention to keep warm at night to avoid catching cold and causing diseases.

Hot weather and excessive sweating in summer can easily lead to imbalance of water and salt metabolism in the body. Health care for middle-aged and elderly people in summer must be supplemented with water. Replenishing water is the foundation of health preservation. It should be noted that the human body must absorb at least 2500 ml of water every day to excrete excess waste and toxins from the body. Moreover, on the dining table in summer, the taste of food should be slightly salty, which can effectively supplement the salt lost due to body sweating. But it should not be too salty, otherwise it will lead to weakened renal function and lead to high blood pressure or heart failure.
