In daily life, we can often find that we can smell a "strange smell" at home or where there are elderly people around us, commonly known as the old man. Many elderly people also know that there is an unpleasant smell on their bodies, but they don’t know how to remove it. Moreover, as they get older, the old man’s smell becomes stronger and stronger. What’s going on?
In fact, there are reasons for the origin of old human taste. According to research, there are many ways of origin. Some are due to diseases, while others are due to personal hygiene problems. In general, old human taste mainly has the following reasons:
1. Metabolism
As we age, the skin's metabolic ability is relatively weakened and the epidermal regeneration ability is weakened. Therefore, the skin of the elderly will appear dry and wrinkled, and a large number of dead skin will fall off. If the clothes are not cleaned and changed in time at this time, these dead skins will accumulate on the surface of the skin, blocking the sweat glands, causing local mixture to form a complex odor.
2. Causes of disease
After entering the old age, all the functions of the body gradually declined, and various diseases gradually emerged. For example, periodontitis , prostatitis , cirrhosis , etc. These diseases will lead to local bacterial growth and abnormal metabolism in the body. Especially abnormal metabolism of urea nitrogen and ammonia will cause a strong ammonia odor in sweat and urine, while periodontitis will lead to severe bad breath. Some elderly people have plasters covered with arthritis, shoulder periarthritis, , etc. The temperatures are mixed together to form a strong smell. Therefore, these elderly people suffering from various senile diseases will inevitably emit a pungent smell.
3. Personal living habits
The personal hygiene habits of the elderly are also very important, but many elderly people have greatly reduced the number of bathing and foot soaking due to physical disabilities, which leads to mixed sweat and body fluids, and a strong odor will easily occur over time.
So how to effectively prevent and eliminate the old man’s taste?
1. Develop healthy living habits
Above we mentioned that one of the great causes of the old man is caused by diseases. Therefore, developing good living habits can maximize the occurrence of senile diseases, such as hypertension , diabetes , arthritis, prostatitis, shoulder periarthritis, etc. Quit smoking and drinking in time can also protect our livers. As the largest metabolic organ in the human body, protecting the liver can prevent the elderly to the greatest extent.
2. Pay attention to personal hygiene
Personal hygiene is the key to preventing the emergence of the elderly. Sometimes, the body may not be able to sweat or have a odor, but as long as we can wash our hands in time, take a shower and change clothes frequently, wash our hair and brush our teeth, shave and cleanse our faces, these good personal hygiene habits can help us minimize the concentration of the elderly odor, and make us look more refreshing and tidy. These can help enhance our personal image and cheerful mood.
3. Participate in more physical exercises
Regularly participate in outdoor physical exercises can help metabolism, improve cardiopulmonary ability, and promote sweat to eliminate toxins. At the same time, exercise more can effectively avoid the occurrence of various senile diseases and improve immunity, which can help reduce the appearance of the elderly.
4. Open the windows in time for ventilation
Due to lack of mobility, the elderly will inevitably have dirty and messy homes, especially for the elderly with liver disease, the feces and urine are very smelly. If the windows are not opened for ventilation in time, the odor will not be dissipated, which will absorb on the elderly, which will easily aggravate the elderly. In addition, many elderly people with chronic diseases may take medicine all year round. The smell of these medicines plus the old-fashioned taste will become even more serious, so it is necessary to open the windows for ventilation.
5. Healthy diet
In terms of diet, the elderly can eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables contain vitamins and dietary fiber, which helps the elderly defecate. At the same time, the elderly should also pay attention to cleaning their oral hygiene in daily life and clean dentures in time. At the same time, be careful to avoid eating foods with heavy taste and rinse your mouth in time after meals. These can help reduce the taste of the elderly.
In summary, the appearance of old man’s taste is often determined by the elderly’s own behavior, and some are caused by physical diseases. However, as long as we can do the above five points, we can minimize the old man’s taste and avoid “disgusting”.
