Due to the influence of "autumn dryness", respiratory diseases, such as bronchitis, bronchial asthma and rhinitis, are particularly prone to occur in autumn, especially in the elderly with low immunity. To cope with autumn dryness, you can use some methods that suit you, such as using Dendrobium to make soup.
Most old people have old diseases. Although some diseases have little to do with the seasons, such as stomach problems, high blood pressure or blood sugar, they are usually well controlled, but they are likely to be caused by minor problems such as autumn dryness and cold during the transition period of summer and autumn. Therefore, we must pay attention to prevent colds, bronchitis and other "minor illnesses" in autumn.
Avoid blind tonic.
Autumn is a tonic season, and many old people are "fattened in autumn" at this time. At present, there are many popular science articles on health preservation and health in society, but some viewpoints are not suitable for all the elderly. The elderly must adopt tonic and dietotherapy methods according to their own specific conditions. We must communicate with doctors more in health care, and don't blindly make up for it. Many supplements, especially traditional Chinese medicine supplements, pay great attention to the body's cold and heat, so we must find out before taking them, otherwise it will do harm to the body.
It is very important to have a regular life.
The most important thing in changing seasons is to maintain good living habits. It is best not to break the original, formed habits and stable life routine. Many old people have a lot of discomfort after traveling. This is because, on the one hand, travel makes the elderly feel tired, eat badly and sleep badly. On the other hand, the life schedule changes suddenly before and after the tour and during the tour, and the adaptability of the elderly is relatively poor. After coming back from the tour, either my blood pressure is high or my heart is uncomfortable, so I have to go to the hospital to see a doctor. In addition, the elderly should also pay attention to peace of mind, not too happy and too worried, to avoid emotional ups and downs. Emotional fluctuation is not good for health.
These old people shouldn't be cold in autumn.
After being stimulated by cold, the elderly suffering from cerebrovascular diseases are excited by sympathetic nerves, the whole body capillaries contract, the peripheral resistance of blood circulation increases, and blood pressure rises, which is easy to cause a stroke.
After cold stimulation, the elderly with cardiovascular diseases will make the heart ischemia and hypoxia more serious, which will lead to myocardial infarction.
Older people with rheumatoid arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis tend to feel cold and wet in autumn, and often have swollen and heavy legs, or symptoms such as swelling and inconvenient walking.
Diabetic elderly people often have vascular neuropathy after being stimulated by autumn cool, which is characterized by numbness and pain in hands and feet, and gangrene in severe cases.
