How to do a good job in autumn health care for the elderly
In autumn, the weather turns cold, the temperature begins to drop, the climate becomes dry, and the human body changes from summer dampness to autumn dryness. From the cold dew to the first frost, the temperature plummeted. It is easy for people to feel cold and cause diseases because they can't adapt for a while. In particular, the elderly have poor metabolic ability and are afraid of cold and heat, so it is often difficult to adapt to the rapidly changing climate. Diseases and pathogens can easily invade the body, leading to dry cough, asthma, chest pain and other diseases. Usually, elderly people with chronic bronchitis or asthma are prone to relapse at this time. In addition, diseases such as rheumatism, stomach diseases and cardiovascular diseases are also easily induced or aggravated in this season. Therefore, it is very important to do a good job of health care in autumn for the health of the elderly. To this end, we should do the following: First, we should coordinate with the climate change hidden in the autumn harvest in nature in our daily life and spiritual mood. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that in autumn, the yang begins to converge and decline, and the yin gradually turns to prosperity. At this time, old people should get up early, go to bed early and exercise properly. Due to the dry climate, the elderly should take less baths to prevent skin itching caused by dry skin. In terms of mental emotions, we should be calm and calm. If we are too excited, the yang will float, which may lead to disease. In late autumn, yin qi drops sharply, so the elderly should pay special attention to keep warm, and clothes and quilts should be increased or decreased at any time with the seasons to avoid the invasion of foreign evils and the leakage of yang qi. Second, don't be greedy and like cold in diet, especially those with yang deficiency and cold. The elderly should not be greedy for cold, nor should they like cold, and should not eat overheated things, such as mutton, eel, pepper, raw garlic, alcohol and so on. Because too much hot food is easy to make the yang in the body pneumatic and cannot be hidden, it is easy to get yin deficiency disease over time. After autumn, a large number of melons and fruits are on the market. Most of these fruits are good for health. However, there is a folk saying that "autumn melons are bad for the belly", so although melons and fruits are sweet, it is not advisable to eat more, otherwise it will damage the yang of the spleen and stomach. Third, close your eyes and gather elites. The sunshine in autumn is warm, the leaves are golden, and the autumn is crisp. It is a good time for the elderly to close their eyes and gather elites. At this time, the elderly should go to parks, villages, mountains and other prosperous, quiet and elegant places to do closed qigong. Close your eyes, relax your eyes first, then relax your face, and your heart will come out and your eyes will be filled with gods. Many celebrity bachelors, in addition to busy and tense mental work, can also do closed-door exercises to recuperate their physical strength, which can achieve miraculous results.
