First: the summer diet of the elderly.
Compared with young people, the gastrointestinal function of the elderly is relatively weak. It is hot in summer, and many things are easy to rot and deteriorate. Therefore, at this time, the diet of the elderly needs special attention and cannot eat spoiled food. Food put in the refrigerator also needs to be heated before taking it. In addition, the diet in summer should be light, not too cold, and the taste should not be too hard. In addition, you can't eat too much, otherwise indigestion will easily occur. In addition, if you have vomiting and diarrhea caused by improper diet, you should go to the hospital immediately.
In summer, three meals a day for the elderly should be light, and at the same time, enough water should be added, such as green tea, fruit juice, boiled water and soybean milk. In addition, when taking vegetables, it is best to eat them raw, so as to ensure that the nutrients in the food are not destroyed to the maximum extent. Coarse grains and flour and rice need to be matched with each other when taking, as well as meat and vegetables. In summer, we should give priority to all kinds of vegetables, then supplement some meat food appropriately, eat on time and eat less cold food.
In addition, the gastrointestinal digestive ability of the elderly is relatively poor, so the daily diet should be based on some easily digestible and nutritious foods, and then some fresh fruits and vegetables can be added appropriately, and some porridge foods can also be eaten appropriately. But for some fried dough sticks, fat and heavy oil, eat less to avoid getting angry in summer.
Second: Summer sports for the elderly.
Summer is the most vigorous season all year round, so we must pay attention to daily rest, so that we can go to bed early and get up early for good health. At the same time, it is very necessary to cooperate with some appropriate exercise. For example, jogging and swimming are very good choices, which can effectively improve the heart and lung capacity of the human body. In addition, the elderly should consciously control their breathing frequency or take deep breaths, which can improve their vital capacity and play a very important role in improving blood supply to the brain and improving their physical fitness.
At noon, the elderly should also take a proper lunch break to maintain their energy. However, the weather is hot in summer, and in order to achieve the effect of cooling, the pores in the human body are in a state of expansion. It is very easy to catch a cold at this time, so old people should not sleep in the open air or under trees. In addition, although the elderly should exercise properly, the intensity of exercise should also be controlled. If you are an elderly person with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, you must be accompanied by your family and take medicine with you.
Third: the summer psychology of the elderly.
In summer, Chinese medicine health care for the elderly needs to pay special attention to meditation and health preservation, and the following points need to be done: First, be calm when things happen. Because the sun is an elf in a hot day, we are easily irritable. Old people must maintain a good attitude in this environment, so that their mood is in a calm state, not too tired or too excited. A good attitude can effectively protect your health. Second, according to the characteristics of the weather, change your schedule and arrange your work and study; The third is to keep indoor ventilation, because if indoor ventilation can dissipate heat well, people will feel cool, and at the same time, it can effectively purify the air and avoid air pollution; Finally, give yourself enough rest time, because people's emotions are directly related to sleep. If they don't get enough sleep, they will easily become in a bad mood. Therefore, in summer, we should not only eat and keep healthy, but also pay special attention to sleep.
Fourth: summer protection for the elderly.
Don't stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time in summer, it is easy to suffer from air-conditioning disease. Especially when sleeping, don't always use air conditioner or fan. In addition, sweating in summer is prone to prickly heat or eczema, so we must pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the skin dry and clean, and do a good job in TCM health care for the elderly in summer.
