The "three low" diseases that should be paid attention to in the daily life of the elderly
Primary hypotension
Medical research shows that the elderly with low blood pressure can induce ischemic stroke due to slow and weak blood flow, leading to insufficient blood supply, cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. Therefore, we must not be careless about hypotension. The elderly should strengthen physical exercise, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and maintain a good psychological state. You should also quit smoking and drinking, but you can drink coffee (which can raise blood pressure). It is worth mentioning that I can't sleep sitting and lying down. Take your time when you get up, so as to avoid accidental injury. You should also avoid bending or squatting for a long time. Use sedative sleeping pills and vasodilators with caution.
Elderly hypothermia syndrome
According to research, lowering people's body temperature can prolong life, but hypothermia can also cause harm, among which hypothermia syndrome in the elderly is a common and easily overlooked disease in the elderly.
The patients showed chills, pale skin, cold limbs, reluctance to get up, chills and blisters. When the body temperature drops to 35℃, there will be movement and thinking disorders, decreased respiratory rate and cough reflex, listlessness or unconsciousness, lethargy, slow response or insufficient eating, difficult defecation, facial edema, slow heartbeat, and even sudden crises such as atrial fibrillation, unconsciousness and cardiac arrest. Old people should pay attention to cold and warmth, and measure their body temperature regularly. Eat more foods with high calorie, high protein and high vitamins, strengthen physical exercise and actively treat primary diseases.
Senile hypogonadism
When some old people eat, they always complain that the food is not fragrant and delicious, and even feel that they don't know the taste of the food. Their families think that old people are too picky about food. In fact, this is the performance of zinc deficiency in the elderly. If it goes on for a long time, it will easily lead to loss of appetite, affect nutrient intake and lead to the decline of the health status of the elderly. Although the total content of zinc in human body is only 2~3 grams, zinc is ubiquitous in human body and plays a very important role. Zinc deficiency will reduce taste sensitivity and even lose taste. Therefore, in addition to the diet to suit the tastes of the elderly, we should also give the elderly more foods with high zinc content, such as malt and mushrooms.
What is better for the "three highs" old people to drink?
When children give gifts, they often worry about the elderly with "three high diseases" at home. I don't know what to drink for my elders, which can not only make the elderly and their families drink together to celebrate, but also ensure their health. In fact, as long as we pay attention to the dietary taboos of "three high diseases", we can also make delicious and healthy green drinks for the elderly at home.
Selection of beverages for the elderly with hyperglycemia
The elderly with hyperglycemia should avoid sugary diet, and drinks made of fresh vegetables such as cucumber, tomato, bitter gourd and purple potato are good drinks for the elderly with hyperglycemia.
