When people reach old age, the general feature of physique is deficiency, especially blood deficiency. Blood can nourish the viscera internally and the fur and bones externally, thus maintaining the normal functional activities of various organs of the human body. Once qi and blood are insufficient, it will be manifested in all aspects of the human body. Common symptoms include: pale or sallow complexion, dizziness, palpitation and insomnia, poor joint movement, numbness of limbs, dry skin, itching, listlessness, pale tongue and thready pulse. This kind of constitution is mostly caused by old age and infirmity, or old age with low spleen and stomach function, insufficient blood biochemistry, or excessive internal injury of seven emotions and dark consumption of yin and blood. The purpose of this kind of health care for the elderly is to replenish blood and nourish blood, benefit qi and produce blood.

1. Diet aftercare: You can often eat mulberry, litchi, pine nuts, fungus, spinach, carrots, pork, mutton, beef liver, sheep liver, turtle, sea cucumber, flat fish and other foods. These foods have the function of enriching blood and nourishing blood.

2. Beware of "blood hurts the body for a long time": Chinese medicine believes that "eyes can only see with blood", so reading books, newspapers and watching TV for a long time will not only damage the visual function of the eyes, but also make the already insufficient blood more virtual. Generally, visual inspection lasts for about an hour, so you should exercise properly, relax eye muscles and restore eye fatigue.

3. Don't be overworked: People's blood circulation is related to the heart, and the blood of the brain is continuously supplied by the heart. Thinking too much will consume sad blood. Therefore, the elderly, especially those with blood deficiency constitution, should not use their brains excessively. Once you feel brain fatigue, you should adjust it, watch the scenery for a while, and make your mood happy, so that you can quickly eliminate brain fatigue.

4. Stay optimistic: people with blood deficiency are often depressed, insomnia, forgetfulness, inattention, and need to recharge their batteries. When you are upset and in a bad mood, you can talk to friends, listen to music, or watch humorous dramas to actively resolve your troubles and cheer up as soon as possible.

5. Take an active part in sports: Old people often feel pain here, itching there, and the most important thing is blood deficiency. Moreover, regular participation in sports can strengthen the circulation of qi and blood and reduce or avoid pain. However, the amount of exercise should not be too large, and the choice of sports should also be based on traditional fitness activities, such as Tai Ji Chuan and Baduanjin, and you can also go for an outing, so that you can breathe fresh air and exercise your bones and muscles.
