Old people should choose slippers that are neither too loose nor too tight. The length should just fill the foot, not too long. The sole material should also be considered. The friction between plastic and the ground is small and easy to slip, so it is best to choose slippers with cloth bottom.
Being in the sun for too long is easy to damage the eyesight health of the elderly. A survey of 500 middle-aged and elderly people by researchers from an American university shows that exposure to the scorching sun in youth is directly related to age-related macular degeneration. Strong sunlight can damage the retina, cause fundus hemorrhage or other eye diseases, and gradually reduce vision, and eventually develop into age-related macular degeneration.
The medical community generally believes that most age-related macular degeneration is incurable. If you are exposed to strong sunlight for more than 5 hours every day, the risk of blindness in the elderly will increase by 1 fold.
Old people should not hold their urine at night. Old people urinate a lot at night, so many old people don't want to urinate at night, and they don't excrete urine in time, but hold it for a long time. As everyone knows, this kind of behavior is easy to induce diseases.
Holding the urine will fill the bladder, causing the sympathetic nerve to be too excited. Sympathetic nerve excitation will increase blood pressure and accelerate the heartbeat, leading to angina pectoris and arrhythmia in patients with coronary heart disease. And if you hold your urine for a long time, once you urinate, you will have sudden urination syncope, which will induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. It can be seen that the elderly often hold their urine at night, which is very harmful to their health.
Health care for the elderly is about ways and means. Most of the ways and means are actually the most basic living habits. Therefore, developing a healthy and correct lifestyle is particularly important for the health of the elderly.
