If we have the correct methods of keeping in good health and the countermeasures of not getting sick, we can be light and healthy.

Please remember the following points:

Choosing a healthy lifestyle is the simplest, most economical and most effective way to get health and reduce diseases.

Many diseases are difficult to cure in the later stage, but if we can find them in the early stage, we can usually control the disease well and prevent it from getting worse.

Good habits are good medicine for health, which can treat any disease at any time without any side effects; Bad habits are poison to health. They may be trivial things at ordinary times, but they accumulate over time unconsciously and are harmful to health.

Characteristics of senile diseases

As an irresistible life phenomenon, aging is both a physiological process and a pathological process. In this sense, no elderly person is completely healthy. Every old man has to fight one disease or another at different stages of his life.

Geriatric diseases are diseases that occur when the body is in a state of decline. Once a person enters old age, the aging of the body involves almost all tissues and organs. The physiological functions of various human systems have declined to varying degrees, and the body's resistance has also gone from bad to worse.

Therefore, once the elderly get sick, most of them are intractable, severe and complex diseases. An organ and disease or a system disease often involves other systems, leading to multiple complications and secondary diseases, which brings certain difficulties to clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Once the elderly get sick, their clinical manifestations and response to treatment are also very atypical, which often makes the diagnostic criteria, treatment methods and efficacy judgments different from others. It looks complicated. Once the elderly get sick, the treatment, rehabilitation and cycle are longer than the average person, but it is difficult.

The obvious examples are as follows:

1. Frequent urination and urgency. Dysuria or hematuria.

2. Rehabilitation of fracture injury (emphasis on long cycle. Calcium deficiency. Complications. Bedsore. Aspiration pneumonia. )。

3. Asthma, emphysema and cor pulmonale.

Prevention and treatment of senile diseases.

1. Regular physical examination. 2. Reasonable exercise. 3. Optimize your diet. 4. Regular life. 5. Master medical knowledge. 6. Adjust the load appropriately. 7. Know the diseases that need to be prevented. 8. Learn to adjust psychological balance.

1. Regular physical examination:

Serious diseases such as myocardial infarction, stroke, respiratory failure (chronic lung obstruction), diabetes, renal failure and malignant tumor all have a process of occurrence and development. As long as you seriously accept the annual or biennial physical examination, you can find, diagnose, prevent and treat early.

2. Reasonable exercise.

Life lies in reasonable exercise. Your leg is your second heart. The occurrence of any disease is the result of too strong pathogenic factors and too weak disease-resistant factors. Adequate physical and mental activities help to coordinate and enhance the blood circulation in the body, increase the blood oxygen content of various tissues and organs in the body, improve the functions of breathing, digestion, absorption, excretion, exercise and other systems, promote metabolism, and improve the quality of symbiotic activities of the body as a whole, thus delaying aging and improving anti-ability.

3. Optimize your diet:

The color and taste of food directly affect appetite, and then affect other digestion and absorption. Food intake should be as diverse as possible, and attention should be paid to the quality of cooking. It should be said that the quality of cooking is more important than quantity. In addition, the diet of the elderly must pay attention to nutrition, adhere to the principle of "three lows", and pay attention to the supplement of calcium, iron, zinc and protein and the diet with low sugar, salt and fat every day.

4. Optimize your daily life:

Ensure eight hours of sleep, keep the room clean, and reduce the harm of dust to human body. In natural weather, the element "radon" will be attached to dust after decaying into solid, and inhaled into the lungs may become the internal radiation source that causes lung cancer, so it is also important to keep the room clean.

Sleeping on a hard bed is better than sleeping on a spring bed. It plays an important role in maintaining the physiological curvature of spine and delaying the strain and degeneration of intervertebral structure.

5. See a doctor, pay attention to study and learn to take care of yourself.

Medical treatment also pays attention to learning, and medical treatment must be "early". Many elderly people have been ill for a long time, and they only seek medical treatment after their illness gets worse. This is not right. The performance of the elderly in the early stage of illness is precisely an important clue to diagnose diseases, especially serious diseases. Early discomfort is often a precursor to serious diseases, so it should not be ignored. Such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction.

See a physician first, then a specialist, so as to save trouble and reduce missed diagnosis (the diseases of the elderly are complex and diverse, and secondary diseases often occur at the same time).

When seeking medical treatment, you should tell the doctor what you think are "insignificant symptoms", medical history and frequent symptomatic medication, which may help the doctor to make a correct diagnosis or avoid detours in the diagnosis.

6. Adjust the load.

Many elderly people find jobs or do housework after retirement, and the intensity of physical and mental work is more arduous than in the past (before retirement), even exceeding the physical endurance limit, which is harmful to their health. This is also undesirable and the load must be adjusted.

7. Diseases that need prevention and control.

The most harmful diseases of the elderly need to be actively prevented: hypertension, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, pulmonary infarction, stroke, diabetes, hyperthyroidism (endocrine) and malignant tumor.

The elderly should always receive health education, learn scientific disease prevention and self-care, and often read (listen to lectures) medical science to improve their ability to prevent and resist diseases.

8. Psychological balance strengthens ideological cultivation.

Old people should learn to be good at self-regulation and psychological balance. Adhere to one center and two basic points: focus on health and be confused and chic. Learn to be patient with knives and tolerant of others. Helping others and helping yourself is also tolerance. Maintain mental health, love more, doubt less and spend your old age happily.
