Keeping in good health in spring is good all year round. How can the elderly keep healthy effectively? When the elderly choose health care in spring, they must grasp it well, which requires some common sense of spring health care. The following is what I collected for you. Welcome to reading.

1. In spring, the elderly should eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, such as lily, lotus seeds, yam and jujube. These warm things make the spleen and stomach more active, shorten the time for food to accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract, and prevent hyperlipidemia and hypertension.

2, the spring diet should conform to the characteristics of solar terms, people who usually like to eat acidic food should eat less at this time, because spring is the season of divergence, and acidic food has a convergent effect. If you continue to eat more acid, it is not conducive to the vomiting of the body and will damage the spleen and stomach. People who like sour food, eating more sweets can replenish the spleen and stomach.

3, the elderly with low immunity eat some onions, garlic and leeks with warming effects, which can enhance the body's resistance and resist diseases dominated by wind and cold.

4. Older people with weak body and qi deficiency can eat more foods that can strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, such as rice porridge, sweet potatoes, yams and eggs.

5, often to outdoor sports, breathing fresh air, can clean the polluted air in the body, enhance cardiopulmonary function, kill bacteria on the skin, and enhance the body's immunity. The elderly should first choose warm weather for exercise, and the weather is changeable in spring. Choosing warm weather for travel and exercise plays an important role in preventing cold and keeping warm.

6. Older people should exercise moderately in spring to avoid excessive exercise, such as walking and Tai Ji Chuan, which is more suitable for the elderly.

7, the elderly should have good eating habits in spring: food diversification, thickness matching. Eat high-protein foods, such as milk, fish, eggs and lean meat. Control the intake of salt.

8. In spring, the elderly should avoid greasy, sour and cold things, and don't drink too much.

9. In spring, the temperature difference between day and night is large and the temperature is changeable. If you take off your winter clothes too early, it is very easy for the elderly to catch cold and get sick. Because the physiological function of the elderly declines and their adaptability to climate change is poor, they should increase or decrease their clothes at any time according to their own health and climate change, and the increase or decrease rate should be small every time. Clothes should be soft, light and warm.

10, in early spring, there is often a cold current attack and the climate suddenly drops. In addition, the human body's panels and sweat pores began to drain outward, weakening the ability to resist cold evil. Therefore, the elderly are prone to catch a cold, which in turn leads to acute bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma and other diseases. Therefore, in spring, the elderly should always pay attention to increasing or decreasing their clothes, and wear masks when going out to avoid taking off their winter clothes prematurely. Once you catch a cold, you should seek medical advice in time. The sooner you take the medicine, the better the effect.

1 1. In spring, the elderly should have a light diet and eat more fresh vegetables, such as bamboo shoots, spinach, shepherd's purse, celery and Malan vegetables.

12. Peel pears and water chestnuts and cook them to clear away heat and moisten the lungs.

13, elderly people with poor gastrointestinal digestion can eat more radishes to regulate qi and phlegm and stomach. Boiling water with orange peel can eliminate phlegm and quench thirst.

14. Old people often feel sleepy in spring. They don't wake up easily in the morning, but they are sleepy during the day. This is because the temperature rises in spring, the amount of human activity increases, the peripheral blood vessels on the body surface begin to relax, and the blood flow on the body surface increases, which makes the oxygen supply to the brain seem insufficient, resulting in the phenomenon of "spring sleep". To this end, the elderly should actively coordinate and adapt to the body, and it is best to take a nap for about an hour at noon every day to make up for the lack of spring sleep.

Tips for keeping fit in spring

1, rub your hands in the morning

With the increase of human activity, after getting up in the morning, the human heart rate will accelerate, so pay attention to conditioning the heart and lungs in the morning. You can rub your hands and fingers. When rubbing your palms, combine your palms and rub them back and forth as much as possible. In addition, rubbing your fingers with each other in the morning can refresh your mind.

2, drying the back at noon

At noon, when it is sunny, friends can often bask in the back, which can supplement the human yang. When basking in the sun, you can also take off your hat and let the sun enter the human body from Baihui point above your head. The effect will be better.

Step 3 soak your feet at night

After a day's activities, the body will be very tired at night, especially the liver and kidney need to rest and recuperate. You can soak your feet at this time. When you soak your feet, you enter the whole body through the soles of your feet, and the heat in the water leaves the kidney and liver meridians in the body. When you sleep after soaking your feet, rub your feet alternately with your palms for more than ten times each time.

In addition, spring health care also needs exercise. You can try the following three activities.

fly a kite

When flying a kite, through the cooperation of hands and eyes and the activities of limbs, it can dredge meridians, harmonize qi and blood, strengthen the body, and cure diseases and preserve health for symptoms such as decreased vision, insomnia, forgetfulness and muscle fatigue, which is more suitable for teenagers. But middle-aged and elderly people should pay attention to protecting their necks when flying kites. The head and neck should not lean back for a long time, but should be tilted back and raised alternately.

jogging

Jogging has a good effect on improving cardiopulmonary function, reducing blood lipid, improving body metabolism, enhancing immunity and delaying aging. Jogging can also regulate the excitement and inhibition of cerebral cortex, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, enhance digestive function and eliminate constipation.

go for a walk

It's best to walk slowly, slowly, relax, swing your arms naturally and keep your hands and feet synchronized. The speed of walking depends on your physical strength, and the length of time should be natural. It is best to be diligent and see a little sweat.

Walking speed is generally divided into three types: slow walking, fast walking and slow walking. The most suitable for the elderly is walking slowly, slowly and steadily, with about 60-70 steps per minute, which can stabilize the mood, eliminate fatigue, strengthen the stomach and help digestion.

If middle-aged and elderly people and young friends are healthy, they can walk fast, about 120 steps per minute, which can refresh their minds, excite their brains and strengthen their lower limbs. You can also stop and go, fast and slow, walk for a while, have a rest, and then go. This kind of stop-and-go, slow and easy walking is suitable for patients and infirm people who are recovering from illness.
