The cold winter is undoubtedly sad for the elderly. Take hospitals for example. In winter, all internal medicine departments are overcrowded, and most of them are elderly people. This paper summarizes some precautions for the elderly in winter, which should be paid attention to by family members or caregivers at any time and reminded parents.
First, don't get up too hard.
When people sleep, their blood pressure is relatively low, and when they wake up, their blood pressure will rise rapidly. Especially for the elderly with hypertension, getting up too fast and too hard may lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure and cause serious diseases such as cerebral vascular rupture. Old people should stick to the principle of 22 1 when they get up in the morning. When you first wake up, lie in bed for two minutes with your eyes open, sit for two minutes after getting up, sit by the bed for one minute and then stand up and move. In any case, you should follow the word slow.
Second, don't dislike drinking water.
For the elderly, getting up and drinking a cup of warm water has a good health care function, and sometimes it can even be life-saving water. Because the blood in the morning is sticky, it is easy to form a thrombus. Drinking a cup of warm water after getting up can quickly dilute the blood concentration in the body. Water can be absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract for 10 minutes and enter the blood circulation, reducing the occurrence of stroke and myocardial infarction.
Third, don't defecate too hard in the morning.
When I get up in the morning, my blood pressure is already high. If you defecate hard, the abdominal pressure will increase. Blood pressure will rise faster. Most elderly people will be constipated. Therefore, when defecation is not smooth, don't push too hard and don't hold your breath. You can eat bananas and honey to enhance intestinal peristalsis. In addition, we should pay attention to diet and eat more fruits and vegetables with crude fiber. If it still doesn't work, you can use Caselo.
Fourth, breakfast is too greasy. Many elderly people are used to eating high-fat and high-calorie foods such as fried dough sticks and fried eggs for breakfast. Eating this food for a long time is easy to cause atherosclerosis. Pay attention to the diet of the elderly, nutrition and health, less oil and less greasy, and mix meat and vegetables. You can't eat too much at a meal. You can eat more or less.
Never get up early and do morning exercises blindly.
In winter, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large. If the elderly go out for morning exercises at six or seven in the morning, they are easily stimulated by the cold. In addition, it is not bright and easy to see clearly. For the elderly, they are afraid of catching a cold and getting sick, and they are also afraid of falling down and being injured.
Old people should pay attention to keep warm in winter. Especially after getting up in the morning, add clothes according to the weather and be careful not to catch a cold. With the growth of age, physical fitness will gradually decline, and the functions of various organs will also decline, which is easy to induce many diseases.
