In fact, the health care of the elderly is not simple. With the increase of age, the old people's physique becomes weaker, so it becomes a thorny problem to find a suitable way to raise them. I sorted out the relevant materials according to the question of how to keep in good health for the elderly. I hope you like it.

Spring health care for the elderly should be one: strengthening the body and exercising.

The air is fresh in spring, and this environment is most conducive to expelling the old and absorbing the new and nourishing the viscera. Doing more exercise in spring will enhance immunity and disease resistance, reduce the occurrence of influenza and other diseases in a year, and make people think quickly and not be tired easily. People can choose outdoor activities according to their age and physical condition, and the amount of exercise should not be too large, so as not to sweat and hurt the yang, and they will be energetic, relaxed and comfortable after exercise. Generally, you can choose simple activities, such as Tai Ji Chuan, walking, jogging, hiking, flying kites and swinging.

Spring health care for the elderly should be two: health care and disease prevention.

In spring, besides paying attention to diet and daily life, we should also pay attention to preventing various diseases. Because the spring is warm and cold, the climate is changeable, bacteria and viruses are easy to breed, and influenza, pneumonia, bronchitis, meningitis, scarlet fever, mumps and viral myocarditis are easy to occur. Therefore, we must pay attention to hygiene, wash clothes and quilts frequently, remove pests, open windows for ventilation, improve our defense ability, and go to public places less when infectious diseases are prevalent to avoid infection.

Three ways of keeping in good health for the elderly in spring: regulating emotions and invigorating spirits.

It's sunny in spring, and the old man doesn't want to sleep alone, so he is depressed. Everything should be open-minded, optimistic, restrain depression and anger, and cultivate your own nature. The best way to improve bad emotions is to cultivate good feelings of loving life and nature. You can invite friends and relatives to go out for a spring outing to enjoy flowers, travel around mountains and waters, take a walk and practice. , thus edifying your temperament, making your blood smooth and energetic.

Old people should pay attention to health care in spring: they should live regularly and keep out the wind and cold.

Go to bed late and get up early in spring, do more outdoor activities, stretch your body and make your day more energetic. Fresh air in the morning is conducive to discharging harmful substances deposited in the respiratory tract at night and promoting metabolism. However, it is worth reminding that due to the deterioration of the functions of various organs of the elderly, don't get up immediately after waking up in the morning, because the ligament tissue of the elderly is loose. If you suddenly change from lying position to standing position, it is not only easy to sprain your back, but also may affect your nervous system. Patients with hypertension and heart disease may have accidents if they suddenly change. After the old man wakes up, he can stretch himself in bed, stretch his limbs and joints, and lie in bed for a while before getting out of bed. In addition, in early spring, the temperature turns from warm to cold, just like a child's face. Cold waves often strike, so you can't dress carelessly.

Old people should pay attention to health preservation in spring: moderate diet and tonic yang.

In spring, due to the acceleration of human metabolism, the consumption of nutrients increases accordingly, and the diet should be warm and nutritious. Should be based on the principle of strengthening the spleen and supporting yang, avoid being too sour, light and delicious, avoid being greasy and cold, especially avoid adding more pungent and hot products, such as ginseng and spirits, so as not to help heat get angry. Choose nourishing and nourishing products, such as soybean sprouts, mung bean sprouts, tofu, fermented soybean, barley, wheat, jujube, lean meat, fish, eggs, peanuts, black sesame, citrus, onion, ginger, garlic, coriander, honey and so on. Because there are few fresh vegetables in winter, it is easy to cause vitamin deficiency, so when spring comes, we should eat more fresh vegetables, such as bamboo shoots, spring leeks, rapeseed, spinach, celery, shepherd's purse, Malan vegetables, medlar, Toona sinensis and so on.

Five taboos of spring health care for the elderly;

Avoid eating excessively.

In early spring, the diet is mainly high in calories. The elderly should pay attention to eating more nutritious and digestible light food, not eating cold food or eating as little as possible, so as not to cause gastrointestinal diseases and stomach cold. People who drink ginger syrup in the morning and evening have the dual functions of keeping out the cold and warming their stomachs and preventing colds.

Second, avoid suddenly reducing clothes.

Since ancient times, people who are good at keeping in good health have attached great importance to keeping in good health in spring. As the saying goes, "Take off your cotton coat in February, and there will be pear blossoms in March" and "Eat Dragon Boat Festival Zongzi, and then send your cotton coat". In early spring, cold and warm alternate, the weather is changeable, clothes cannot be reduced, and winter clothes are taken off too early, which is easy to catch cold and hurt the lungs, causing respiratory diseases. Quenching can also cause vasospasm, blood viscosity, slow blood flow and organ ischemia, so colds, pneumonia, tracheitis, asthma, arthritis, migraine, coronary heart disease and so on will take the opportunity to visit. In addition, bedding should not be thinned immediately, and it should conform to the regimen of "spring covering".

Three bogeys: excessive spring sleepiness

"Spring is sleepy and autumn is lacking", people are easy to get sleepy in spring, and some elderly people have the habit of going to bed late. Chinese medicine believes that lying down for a long time will hurt your breath. Sleep too much, lie down if you are not sick. Because lying down for a long time will cause a decline in metabolic capacity and poor execution of qi and blood. The air in spring is very fresh, and the elderly should go out to participate in fitness activities more, so that their bodies can correspond to the vigorous atmosphere of the season, thus ending their drowsiness.

Four bogeys: emotional disorder

There is a plot of Daiyu burying flowers in A Dream of Red Mansions. In life, old people tend to be sentimental when they see the spring flowers and warm sunshine, especially lonely old people, who are more likely to indulge in infinite sadness about the past. This is very bad for health. Once the mood is out of balance, exogenous evil will take advantage of it and cause physical diseases. Therefore, in spring, the elderly should pay more attention to the beauty of life and keep a good mood.

Five bogey overwork.

Spring is a season of frequent infectious diseases. The elderly have poor immunity and are susceptible to infection. If you are overworked, or often go to shops, cinemas, theaters and other crowded public places, you will be easily infected by bacteria and viruses under the condition of physical fatigue, which will lead to respiratory infectious diseases and other diseases. Therefore, the elderly should pay attention to the combination of work and rest and moderate activities.

Eight secrets of health care for the elderly:

First, go to the hospital without discomfort.

Many people simply regard the hospital as a place to treat diseases, and it is a fluke to go less or not. In fact, hospitals also have the function of predicting diseases, specifically doing physical examinations. Moreover, the elderly have reached the high incidence of diseases, so it is a good thing to go to the hospital regularly, not an ominous thing.

Second, I have to go to the toilet unintentionally.

Urinating is an important way for human body to excrete waste and purify the internal environment. Constipation is harmful because the toxins in feces stay in the intestine for too long and are easily inhaled into the blood and poisoned. Therefore, Wang Chong, a famous health care practitioner in the Han Dynasty, warned people: "If you want to live forever, your intestines are always clear; If you want to die, there is no me in your intestines. "

How can we achieve "always clear" or "no self" in the intestine? The key is to get into the habit of going to the toilet regularly every day, even if you are uncomfortable, you should squat down and form a conditioned reflex. Regarding urination, Japanese doctors suggest that it is best to urinate every hour 1 time * * * whether there is bladder filling * * * to reduce the malignant effect of harmful substances in urine on bladder and prevent the occurrence of bladder cancer.

Third, smile more when there is no happy event.

The health care value of laughter has been paid more and more attention and advocated by experts. Some people compare laughter to "a good exercise method similar to immobility", which has a significant promoting effect on the functions of heart, liver, lung, kidney and other organs. Laughter can also improve the activity of "natural killer cells" in the body, which are the "killers" of cancer cells, so laughing more is one of the effective means for human beings to prevent cancer. Japanese scholars regard "laughing as much as possible every day" as one of the "three secrets of longevity" * * The other two are normal sex life and 30-minute walk * * This is the mystery recommended to people.

Fourth, there is no hair when combing your hair.

A green hair naturally cannot be separated from a comb, but it becomes thinner and thinner with age, and even becomes bald. Do you still need to comb? The answer is also yes. Because the purpose of combing the hair of the elderly is not only beauty, but also contains important health care significance.

First of all, combing your hair is a good way to protect your hair. Comb your hair repeatedly can produce bioelectric induction, * * * scalp peripheral nerves and capillaries, promote blood circulation, accelerate metabolism, thus reducing hair loss and promoting new hair growth. At the same time, combing hair is also a good way to promote brain movement, which can receive unexpected effects of strengthening the brain and calming the nerves. In addition, combing hair and scalp can relax nervous nerves and relax tense and spasmodic blood vessels, so it has certain preventive and therapeutic effects on angioneurotic headache, migraine and neurasthenia.

How to comb your hair? Old people with sparse or hairless hair can comb with their fingers instead of combs, slowly comb from the front hairline to the back hairline, and rub the scalp while combing. Generally, comb it three times a day, after getting up early, before lunch break and before going to bed 1 time, each time 10 ~ 30 minutes, with moderate intensity, which makes the scalp feel hot, bloated and numb.

5. Drinking water is not thirsty.

It is natural to drink water when you are thirsty. Not thirsty? And drink water regularly. Medical research has proved that water plays no less important role in maintaining the normal operation of life activities and preventing diseases than protein and other nutrients. Lack of drinking water makes many people in poor neuromuscular condition, liver and kidney function decline, and toxic substances increase, thus becoming a hotbed of disease. Especially for the elderly, thirst becomes dull. When thirst appears, water shortage in the body is quite serious. At this time, it is inevitable to replenish water, and the losses that the body has suffered are irreparable.

In order to avoid loss, we should try to replenish water before thirst, which is the concept of active drinking water, especially in cold seasons such as winter and spring. Generally speaking, the basic daily water requirement of adults is about 1 1,000 ~ 1 1,500 ml, and it is necessary to drink11,000 ml of water under normal eating conditions to meet the normal water demand of human metabolism. In a day, getting up in the morning, 10, 4 pm and before going to bed at night are all good opportunities to drink water. It is advisable to drink 1 cup * * * every time, about 200ml * * *.

Sixth, wear a bra without a figure.

Once a woman enters old age, the curve of her body often disappears and her attention begins to tilt from bodybuilding to health. She just wants to stay away from diseases and disasters. The beautiful and the unattractive have long been forgotten, and the bra will naturally "finish class".

However, Japanese women who are separated from us only by a strip of water are "unique". They can't live without bras from the beginning of puberty until their death. It turns out that Japanese women listened to the doctor's advice and wore bras not only for beauty, but also for health. From a medical point of view, elderly women, especially those who have nursed their children, often relax their chest muscles, leading to leaning forward and hunchback, which in turn oppresses their lungs, causing poor breathing and even panting. At the same time, * * * is too droopy, which will also cause sagging breasts, cause gastroptosis, oppress the intestines, and affect the appetite for three meals. Speaking of which, should you consider "re-employment" bra?

Seven, no sex life should also wash private parts.

Before sexual intercourse, men will clean their private parts in order to protect women's reproductive health. When people get old, many men "retire" sexually, so they forget it consciously or unconsciously. In this regard, the doctor reminded elderly men that washing the lower body often also has the function of self-protection, so we must do the project well.

The sebaceous glands in the male genitals, especially in the foreskin, are exuberant. If it is not cleaned regularly, a large amount of secretions will accumulate under the foreskin, forming a skin scale like tofu residue, which will cause dermatitis. If it induces urinary tract infection or even cancer, it is a matter of life and death. Therefore, frequent cleaning, keeping the external genitalia clean and active treatment when dermatitis occurs are also problems that cannot be ignored in the health care of the elderly.

Eight, cough without lung disease.

When it comes to coughing, many people take it as an ominous sign. In fact, cough is a protective reaction when people suffer from respiratory diseases. The purpose is to clear the sputum in trachea and bronchus in time so as to recover as soon as possible. Therefore, we might as well take cough as a way to "clean" the lungs, which is beneficial to our health.

The secret is that air pollution is getting more and more serious, and there are more and more harmful substances in the air. Harmful substances inhaled into the lungs will cause diseases, which is one of the reasons why modern people are more and more prone to chronic bronchitis, pneumonia and even lung cancer. Therefore, coughing actively means coughing even if you are not ill, and cleaning up the dirty things in time is a great coup to protect your lungs.

The method is: take a deep breath in the fresh outdoor air every morning and evening. When inhaling, slowly raise your arms, suddenly cough, and quickly put down your arms, forcing the airflow to eject from your nose and mouth and cough up phlegm. Repeat this for 10 times, and do normal breathing intermittently for several times each time to prevent hyperventilation. As long as you persevere, you can benefit.

Above, I shared with you the correct way for the elderly to keep in good health in spring. It is very important for the elderly to keep healthy.
