The organ function of the elderly has declined, and many elderly people have basic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. So we need to pay attention to the basic diseases of health. The incidence of BPH increases with age, mainly manifested as frequent urination, increased nocturia, urgency and even urinary incontinence. Generally, when going to the hospital, it is recommended to check urine routine and urine color ultrasound.
In addition, adjust living habits, ensure the regularity of daily life, have a light diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, eat high-quality protein (such as eggs and milk) in moderation, and eat a low-fat and low-salt diet. From lying position to standing position should not be too fast, and there should be a buffering process of sitting position to prevent falling due to transient cerebral ischemia. Change clothes in time when the temperature changes. Elderly people with basic diseases such as hypertension or diabetes should measure their blood pressure every day and their blood sugar regularly. If the condition changes, you should seek medical advice in time.
After middle age, people's body functions gradually decline, and various organs gradually show degenerative changes. 40-50 years old is the onset age of digestive tract diseases, respiratory diseases, heart diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, cancer and other diseases. In order to resist aging and diseases, middle-aged and elderly people should have a reasonable concept of health preservation. For the health of middle-aged and elderly people, we should uphold the principle of "three-point treatment and seven-point support".
Middle-aged and elderly people, pay attention to six details of life, and your name will be on the health list.
1, physical exercise should be moderate.
When you exercise, you should arrange the exercise items and intensity reasonably according to your own specific situation. The biggest advantage of exercise for the elderly is that it contributes to the health of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as jogging. If possible, you can practice pedaling electric cars and running. Exercises to enhance flexibility are mainly embodied in warm-up activities before exercise and finishing activities after exercise. Be sure to warm up before exercise, remember to start blindly, and the elderly must do what they can according to their physical condition.
2. The choice of diet should be scientific.
Pay attention to collocation in diet, and don't eat blindly. First of all, you should meet the intake of four daily nutrients, protein, vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. Secondly, the diet should be light, you can't overeat, and you can't be hungry. Third, you should drink more water.
Eat more soy products and less pork, beef and mutton, because animal meat contains a lot of saturated fatty acids. Proper protein and heat provide necessary conditions for bone growth, but too much protein will increase urinary calcium excretion.
Usually, we should pay attention to the choice of high-calcium foods, such as dairy products, bean products, sesame paste, dried seaweed and so on. , as well as cod liver oil, sardines, egg yolks, animal livers and vegetables.
3, daily life should be regular.
With the increase of age, the natural sleep time of middle-aged and elderly people is decreasing, and sometimes they can't even sleep. Therefore, adequate sleep is essential for middle-aged and elderly friends. Middle-aged and elderly friends should rest for at least 6-8 hours every day to develop the habit of taking a nap. In addition, pay attention to your sleeping posture, sleeping habits and sleeping problems. Don't eat three hours before going to bed, because during sleep, the various functions of the human body will slow down and the food in the stomach is not easy to digest. Don't do too strenuous exercise before going to bed, which will easily stimulate the cerebral cortex, cause excitement and sleep difficulties. Don't drink coffee, strong tea and other drinks before going to bed. The substances contained in it are easy to make people excited and difficult to fall asleep. Besides, we should also pay attention to many bad habits. For example, sleeping with your mouth open, sleeping on your stomach, sleeping under a quilt and sleeping with the lights on will all affect the sleep quality of middle-aged and elderly people.
4. Maintain a normal weight
Middle-aged people are under great pressure in life and work, coupled with improper diet and lack of exercise, which will lead to a significant decline in their health. A survey report on the death of Beijing residents in the past 10 shows that the number of deaths among people aged 40-59 has increased 24 times since 10. Among them, 73% men died between the ages of 40 and 49, and 27% women died. A health survey shows that 66% of middle-aged people suffer from insomnia, dreaminess and difficulty falling asleep. 62% middle-aged people often have low back pain; 58% middle-aged people are tired as soon as they go to work; 57% middle-aged people feel tired or memory loss when climbing stairs; 48% of middle-aged people have dry skin, dull complexion, bad temper and anxiety. Therefore, if middle-aged people want to be responsible for their health, they must always pay attention to their health.
Although the weight will gradually increase with age, people close to middle age should not take this as a normal phenomenon. Studies have found that for every 0.9 1 kg weight gain, the risk of diabetes will increase by 7% in the next 10 years. Every time the waist circumference increases 1 inch, the probability of suffering from such diseases will increase by 20% in the next 10 year.
In addition, the researchers also found that weight will also increase the load on joints. Young people with standard weight suddenly become fat, and the chances of suffering from osteoarthritis will greatly increase. However, the most terrible consequence of being overweight is cancer, especially colon cancer and postmenopausal breast disease.
Step 5 control your emotions
Middle-aged and elderly patients with cardiovascular diseases should control their emotions. When they are emotional, their blood pressure and blood sugar will rise, which will increase the pressure on blood vessels and lead to accidents. So don't be angry and emotional, otherwise it will cause cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction or heart disease.
6. Never too old to learn
Old people should not give up studying and exploring the world because they are old. No matter how old you are, you should keep a childlike curiosity. This mentality can prevent premature aging. Strong curiosity can lead the elderly to know the world, feel the world and experience new things. In daily life, the elderly can satisfy their thirst for knowledge according to their actual situation. If economic conditions permit, they can travel and make friends of all ages, which is helpful to their physical and mental health.
