The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the elderly with cardiovascular diseases should not go out to exercise. They might as well practice otolaryngology at home.
Nowadays, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and people who often go out to exercise, especially those with chronic diseases, need to guard against the acute attack of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases at all times. Sweat glands secrete a lot of sweat in hot days, so the blood volume is reduced and the blood is sticky, which is easy to induce myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction.
When the weather is hot, the elderly may wish to exercise their ears, nose and mouth at home, on the one hand, to achieve the effect of accelerating blood circulation and emitting hot air, on the other hand, to exercise internal organs and delay aging.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the five internal organs and the twelve meridians have collaterals in the ears, and ear massage can dredge the whole body. Old people often pull, rub, knock, rub and pinch the auricle and the root of the ear, which can stimulate the nerves and microvessels around the auricle, accelerate local circulation, help dredge the meridians of the whole body, enhance metabolic function and promote blood circulation.
Nasal massage health care has the functions of promoting physiological function of nasal cavity, preventing nasal mucosa from aging, regulating whole body qi and blood, enhancing disease resistance and preventing colds. Knocking on the teeth and stirring the tongue are helpful to strengthen the brain and teeth, thus ensuring the chewing function of the elderly.
Exercise your ears, nose and mouth by the following methods.
Rubbing ears: Hold both auricles lightly with both hands, and rub them at the back of the head for 1 min, and then rub them on the face for 1 min, so that the auricle skin is slightly red and has a hot feeling locally, once every morning and evening, with a refreshing and radiant effect.
Pinch your ears: gently and rhythmically pinch the middle area of the earlobe with your thumb and forefinger, 2-3 times a day, 65,438+0 minutes each time, and stick to it, which can not only beautify your face, but also add luster to your eyes.
Rubbing the nose: rub the alar side of the nose with two fingers 1 min;
Push the nose: Push the finger up from the tip of the nose along the nasal septum to Tang Yin, repeating 10 times or more. Knocking on teeth: the teeth should be straight, and the knocking should be strong, and the impact sound of teeth can be clearly heard, about 1 minute.
Tongue stirring: the upper and lower lips are gently closed, and the inside and outside of the teeth are rubbed with the tip of the tongue, clockwise and counterclockwise, first inside the teeth and then outside the teeth.
For some elderly people with chronic diseases, drink 8- 10 glasses of water every day, and drink 2 more glasses when the temperature is above 33℃. Diet should be light, eat less meat and greasy food, eat more fruits and vegetables, and it is best to choose early morning or evening for exercise, when the temperature is low.
Go to bed early and get up early, and exercise moderately.
Compared with the cold winter, spring is more suitable for cardiovascular patients to get up early for outdoor activities and physical exercise. Spring is a season to bring forth the old and bring forth the new, and life is budding, which is different from winter when people are advised to go to bed early and get up late. In spring, people need to go to bed early and get up early, relax, do soothing sports activities and keep an open mind to correspond to the spirit of budding spring. Walking and Tai Ji Chuan are more suitable for patients with cardiovascular diseases. There are often younger patients who say that they like sports very much at ordinary times and often do strenuous fitness exercises, but after a certain strenuous exercise, they have chest tightness and chest pain, which takes a long time to cure. Too intense physical exercise may not only lead to muscle, ligament and joint injuries, but also lead to myocardial ischemia, especially for patients who do not exercise for a long time and suddenly exercise violently. Patients with coronary heart disease should pay more attention to that proper exercise can strengthen the body, but too long and too strong exercise may increase the heart load and be harmful to the body. In addition, although the weather is getting warmer, it is still hot and cold, so it is necessary to keep warm to prevent colds and lung infections.
Positive and optimistic, emotional.
Spring is the season when everything grows. Being cheerful and optimistic is very important for spring health. Everyone is a whole, and a bad emotional state will unconsciously affect your health. In the outpatient department of cardiology, many patients see a doctor because of chest tightness, chest pain, palpitation, shortness of breath and other symptoms, but after repeated ECG, echocardiography and even coronary CT examination, there is still no clear cause. The severity of organic diseases is not enough to cause these symptoms, but physical discomfort actually exists. Many patients have this condition, but with the increase of mental stress and anxiety, the condition is often aggravated and it is difficult to alleviate. These patients may indeed have some heart diseases, or they may be caused by psychological problems such as heavy life pressure, fast work pace, serious sleep disorder, anxiety and depression. Mental tension myocardial ischemia (MSIMI) is a disease caused by mental stress, which causes chest pain, chest tightness and other symptoms. Not only in the field of cardiology, long-term poor mental state or severe mood fluctuation will lead to many systemic diseases, and the occurrence of digestive system diseases, breast diseases, tumors and other diseases may be related to bad mood. Therefore, it is suggested that patients should try their best to maintain a good state of mind, pay attention to the adjustment of emotions, and maintain a healthy state of body and mind.
