As the saying goes, "if you eat too much, you will get sick, but if you eat carefully, you will avoid disaster." . The elderly have weak spleen and stomach and poor digestion. If they eat too much, they will be full and easy to accumulate stagnation. If heat accumulates for a long time, it will consume body fluid and hurt yin. When the elderly eat, we must first grasp the time of eating. It is best to start eating when they feel a little hungry, and eat every meal at a fixed time. Secondly, eat for at least 20 minutes. Finally, it is recommended to eat more cold salad and coarse grains.

2. Be careful when using medicine.

The liver detoxification function and kidney detoxification function of the elderly have declined. In addition to the urgent need for illness, drugs should be used as little as possible, and more importantly, multiple drugs should not be mixed. Don't take a few antibiotics every time you catch a cold, and don't go to the hospital for infusion to prevent drug resistance. Don't use too much Chinese medicine, it's a three-point poison. Some old people think that ginseng and velvet antler are the kings of tonics. Without the guidance of a doctor, I bought my own uniform, which led to symptoms such as dry mouth, dry throat and nosebleeds.

3. Cautious and excited.

Emotional excitement has always been the natural enemy of the health of the elderly. The elderly, especially those with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, should be careful not to get too excited. Because excitement will make the heart beat faster and blood pressure rise, which will cause rupture and bleeding of sclerosing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and cause stroke and myocardial infarction. Old people should cultivate a calm mind, walk more, enjoy themselves and add interest to their later years.

4. Be careful.

Pay attention to keep warm, exercise moderately, keep a good attitude, and don't let your heart catch cold, which may lead to the risk of sudden cardiac death. Avoid the factors that reduce outdoor activities because of fear of cold. Blood lipid intake and metabolic imbalance increase blood viscosity, thus forming thrombus and inducing myocardial infarction.
