First, exercise time.
Most elderly people prefer morning exercises, and some people start doing strenuous exercise such as long-distance running early in the morning. In fact, the pollution is the most serious at 6-9 in the morning. The basic blood pressure of the elderly is relatively high in the morning, and strenuous exercise is very harmful to the body. If the elderly want to exercise, it is best to choose the afternoon. Even if you want to do morning exercises, you should find a place with better air, do exercises and play Tai Ji Chuan.
Second, stay up late and get up early.
It is very important to go to bed late and get up early, and take a proper nap. Experts say that the summer nights are hot and the dawn time is early, so the elderly can go to bed late and get up early. In addition, it is best to arrange a nap in the summer afternoon, which can play an important role in eliminating fatigue.
Third, drink a little water and drink more.
After getting up in the summer morning, the elderly had better drink some water first to replenish the water consumed at night. According to experts, in addition to the normal diet, the amount of drinking water for the elderly in summer should be kept at about1500 ~ 2,000 ml per day, and drink a little more. Don't wait until you are thirsty to remember to drink water.
Fourth, diet increases summer food.
In summer, the weather is hot and sweaty, and the elderly can drink more foods and drinks such as soybean milk, milk, mung bean soup, vegetable soup, winter melon seaweed soup, sour plum soup, chrysanthemum tea, honeysuckle and so on. At the same time, we should try to avoid or reduce carbonated drinks, cold drinks and other foods that have bad physical stimulation to the gastrointestinal tract.
V. Proper cooling
Heat is an obvious feature of summer, and it is a key thing for the elderly to cool down properly in their lives. Indoor and outdoor temperature difference is moderate, and the temperature difference should be moderate. Generally, indoor is 5-8 lower than outdoor. It is not advisable to use electric fans and air conditioners for a long time, nor to blow them directly at the elderly, which may easily cause air-conditioning diseases.
Sixth, summer psychology
In hot summer, people often suffer from acute emotional heatstroke because of the hot weather, which is very harmful to their health in summer. Especially for the elderly, anger can cause myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia, hypertension and even sudden death. Old people must be calm in summer. Old people must keep their emotions calm in hot weather, and must not be overworked and excited. You know, a good attitude is the best regulator of the body, which can prevent the breeding of "internal fire in the five internal organs".
