There are many reasons for diabetes, such as bad living habits, irregular diet, less exercise, obesity, genetic factors and so on. This is the reason why most people suffer from diabetes. So how should diabetics carry out daily health care? Next, I would like to introduce the TCM health care methods for diabetes. Come and have a look!

Method 1: control diet.

Pay great attention to the patient's diet control. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of diabetes is related to diet, and the quality of diet control directly affects the therapeutic effect. Physicians of past dynasties have also summed up many herbal dietary remedies in their long-term medical practice. For example, 1 pig pancreas is dried at low temperature and ground into powder, 9 grams each time, twice a day; Sandou drink: take mung bean 100g, 50g black bean and 50g red bean and decoct them; Stir-fried meat with bitter gourd: fresh bitter gourd 100g, 50g lean meat, eaten after being fried with fire, etc. But when taking these prescriptions, you should also count them in the daily intake of calories.

Second, cooperate with sports.

Proper exercise for diabetic patients is helpful to control blood sugar, which is also the purpose of TCM health preservation. The choice of exercise mode and exercise intensity for diabetic patients should be appropriate. You should do it step by step under the guidance of a doctor, so that you won't be tired and you won't be omnipotent. There are many kinds of exercises, such as walking, brisk walking, aerobics, Tai Ji Chuan, swimming and disco dancing for the elderly. Excessive exercise intensity or long activity time will cause fatigue and aggravate the condition. In particular, patients with severe insulin deficiency and patients with coronary heart disease and kidney disease should limit their activities. But the intensity of exercise is too small to play a therapeutic role. The recommended exercise is playing Tai Ji Chuan, which has the characteristics of relaxation, naturalness, stretching and softness, and is one of the most suitable exercise forms for diabetics.

Third, pay attention to the cultivation of mind.

Mood has a great influence on the condition of diabetes, so it is very important to pay attention to the cultivation of mind. There is a certain relationship between the occurrence and development of diabetes and emotion. It is necessary to educate diabetic patients to treat life and diseases correctly, "keep their emotions" and "reduce their thoughts", and maintain a comfortable mood and blood circulation, so as to facilitate the control and rehabilitation of diseases.

Everything about ""has been introduced to you. I hope everyone can get something helpful from it. TCM health preservation is a healthy lifestyle actively advocated and plays an important role in the treatment of diabetes. I hope that diabetic friends will pay attention to health care from now on and gradually improve their quality of life.

Exercise precautions for diabetic patients ①. Exercise time should not be too long.

Some old people think that the longer the exercise time, the better the effect, which is actually a misunderstanding. Exercise time should be adjusted at any time according to your physical condition.

You should learn to control the rhythm of exercise.

Winter sports should start with activities with little exercise and short exercise time, and don't let yourself be overweight when you get up, so as to avoid adverse reactions.

③ Choose the time, weather and place of exercise.

Don't choose exercise time too early in the morning. On the one hand, due to the short days in winter, it may be difficult to go out to exercise in the dark. In addition, getting up too early, not enough sleep time, and a lot of exercise can't stand it. Avoid exercising in bad weather such as strong wind, fog, rain and snow. When you exercise, you must not ignore the position of the movement. Because the organs of the elderly are aging and their hands and feet are getting more and more clumsy, they should try to avoid places with snow when exercising. It is best to exercise in a flat place at home to avoid trauma.

(4) Be prepared for exercise.

Not only do warm-up activities, but also wear loose, comfortable clothes that are easy to increase or decrease during exercise. Keeping warm should not be neglected during exercise. Don't take off your coat as soon as you start exercising, and then gradually reduce your clothes after your body is slightly hot. After the exercise, you should immediately wipe your sweat and put on your clothes to prevent catching a cold.

Health care methods to prevent diabetes are emotionally stable.

Excessive happiness, anger and sadness make mood fluctuate, which is closely and subtly related to diabetes. At this time, the excitement of sympathetic nerve can not only promote the release of hepatic glycogen from the liver to the blood, but also increase the blood sugar level, and at the same time lead to local spasm of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, resulting in insufficient blood supply to local blood vessels, which in turn leads to acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events and serious consequences of acute myocardial infarction or acute cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, diabetics should learn to control their emotions, avoid negative emotions and maintain emotional stability.

protect from infection

Respiratory tract, face plate and urinary tract infections are common complications of diabetes, and even become life-threatening factors. Therefore, attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the panel, and frequent bathing, panel damage, boils and folliculitis should be handled in time; Pay attention to oral hygiene, insist on brushing your teeth in the morning and evening and after meals, and treat dental diseases in time; Actively treat chronic pharyngitis, sinusitis and bronchitis, and eliminate the hidden danger of pneumonia.

Diabetic patients have relatively low resistance and are more prone to respiratory tract infections, especially elderly diabetic patients, often accompanied by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. After the second infection, their condition is relatively serious, which may lead to death. Physical exercise should be strengthened in winter. Diabetic patients are suitable for aerobic exercise, such as walking, brisk walking and playing Tai Ji Chuan. And extra chest and back muscle exercises such as chest enlargement and sit-ups are all helpful to enhance respiratory function.

Get more sunshine.

Diabetic patients are very prone to osteoporosis, and the harm of osteoporosis to diabetic patients is very great, which will not only lead to systemic pain, inability to exercise, but even lead to fractures, seriously affecting the quality of life of patients. In winter, due to the low outdoor temperature, most diabetics spend less time in outdoor exercise, so the chances of exposure to sunlight are reduced. Regular exposure to the sun is an extremely important measure to prevent osteoporosis.

Therefore, diabetics should get more sunshine in winter. In addition, sunlight is an electromagnetic wave, just like a natural "stimulant". The radiation of sunlight on human body will cause a series of physiological changes that are beneficial to diabetic patients. For example, the action of infrared "heat" will dilate capillaries and accelerate blood circulation. Ultraviolet rays can oxidize melanin, increase vitamin D and histamine in the panel, and increase gastric acid secretion. It will also increase the contents of hemoglobin, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium in the blood.

Pay attention to foot protection

Diabetic patients are often accompanied by vascular insufficiency and neuropathy, leading to local blood circulation disorders, nutritional disorders and local numbness of the feet, foot plate injury or tinea infection. Can develop into chronic ulcers that can't be cured for a long time, and even develop into serious infection or gangrene that is difficult to control. In winter, poor blood circulation and nerve damage are easy to cause chilblain. If you have diabetic neuropathy, don't use hot water bottles or hot treasures to keep warm while sleeping. You'd better buy some pairs of loose and comfortable socks, which you can wear to keep your feet warm when you sleep. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent falling, actively treat beriberi, and avoid tearing feet and wiping toes to relieve itching, so as to avoid damage to the panel and cause purulent bacterial infection.
