Autumn is the season of tonic, and many elderly people "insist on autumn fertilizer" at this time, but many Chinese medicine supplements pay attention to the cold and heat of the constitution. The elderly must make supplements and dietotherapy according to their own conditions, and avoid blind supplements.

At this time, autumn dryness is obvious, and it is easy to suffer from respiratory diseases, such as bronchitis, bronchial asthma and rhinitis. To prevent autumn dryness, we should give priority to a light diet and eat more coarse grains and foods rich in vitamins and minerals.

Second, sleep-go to bed early and get up early, and take a nap properly.

In Su Wen's Huangdi Neijing, there is a saying: "In autumn and March, lie down early and get up early, and have fun with chickens." Going to bed early and getting up early can reduce the chance of thrombosis and prevent the attack of cerebral thrombosis. Proper siesta can relieve the cardiovascular system, help people maintain psychological balance and prevent myocardial infarction.

Third, nursing-whether it is cold in autumn, treat it rationally.

Some people think that moderate freezing in autumn is beneficial to adapt to the dry and cold weather in winter, but autumn freezing is not suitable for everyone and should be treated rationally. After cold stimulation, the blood pressure of the elderly with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will increase, which will easily lead to stroke, cardiac ischemia and hypoxia, and then lead to myocardial infarction.

After suffering from wind, cold and dampness, elderly people with rheumatoid arthritis often have symptoms such as leg pain and inconvenient walking.

Fourth, climb high and admire chrysanthemums to prevent sadness in autumn.

"Autumn is sad and lonely since ancient times". Before and after the Double Ninth Festival, grass leaves, flowers and trees wither, which often makes people feel sad and wither, leading to depression and irritability.

Since ancient times, China has had the custom of climbing mountains and enjoying the scenery on the Double Ninth Festival. Autumn in October, the sky is crisp. Climbing high and looking far can not only promote systemic blood circulation, enhance cardiopulmonary function, strengthen the body, get rid of diseases, but also make people feel relaxed and happy. Chrysanthemum smells fresh, smell the fragrance of chrysanthemum more, and it has the effect of waking up. Drinking more chrysanthemum tea can remove fire, nourish liver and improve eyesight.

Misunderstandings and Taboos of Mountaineering in Double Ninth Festival

Although mountain climbing is a good exercise, it is not conducive to protecting the knee joint. Because when going up the mountain, the weight of the knee joint is basically its own weight; When going down the mountain, in addition to its own weight, it also bears the force of downward thrust, which will increase the wear on the knee joint.

It is suggested that the elderly can walk when climbing mountains. If there is a cable car, it is best to go down the mountain by cable car. In addition, the elderly are deficient in essence and blood, which is manifested as insufficient body fluid, especially in the joint cavity. This kind of strenuous exercise without lubrication will soon cause the wear of joint surface and aggravate the condition of osteoarthropathy.

Therefore, whether uphill or downhill, it is best to take a gentle slope instead of steps, which is beneficial to protect joints, tendons and ligaments.
