Most elderly people will choose to watch TV at this time. After a long time, their bodies will be in a sub-health state, which will affect their lives. In fact, the elderly can make proper use of watching TV and do some simple exercises, which will help them keep healthy and achieve the goal of promoting heart health.
When the feet are lifted to a position higher than the heart, the blood in the feet and legs flows back, which makes the thighs and calves that have been nervous for a long time in a relaxed state and makes the legs fully rest. At the same time, the blood in the legs and feet returns to the lungs and heart, and the heart can deliver fresh blood to the legs and feet. These effects can promote the blood flow filling of peripheral blood vessels, increase the pressure of blood reflux, speed up blood circulation, reduce the pressure of cardiac output, and are of great benefit to the oxygen supply to the brain.
According to reports, middle-aged and elderly people exercise their feet two or three times a day for 5- 10 minutes each time, which is good for the heart and head. Sit or lie down. Lifting your feet over your heart will be good for your whole body. When sleeping, you can keep your head high and your feet low, reduce the amount of blood returning to your heart, reduce the load on your heart, and help your heart "rest".
Patients with severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should not do this exercise. Middle-aged and elderly people with heavy weight must be cautious when doing this exercise, and they should not increase the intensity of exercise at will to avoid danger.
Leg lifts can start from dozens of steps. Don't suddenly increase the amount of exercise, but also master the rhythm. Measure your usual steps, and then increase it by 20 cm. Old people with serious diseases should not do this exercise. In addition, when watching TV or reading a book, putting your feet on the sofa or coffee table can promote the blood flow filling of peripheral blood vessels, enhance the pressure of blood reflux, reduce the pressure of cardiac output, and be beneficial to the oxygen supply of the brain.
The above experts introduced the knowledge about health care for the elderly. We know that if the elderly often raise their legs, it is good for heart health. Only when the elderly have a healthy body can they have a happy old age, so they should do more activities that are beneficial to their physical and mental health.
