A set of data from a prospective study on chronic diseases in my country showed that the death toll of cardiovascular disease patients in winter was 41% higher than that in summer.
Every winter, more elderly people die suddenly. Some people may say that winter is the deadly obstacle for the elderly. This is not evil, but for a reason. Cardiovascular disease has a great impact on lifespan. For elderly patients with Correspondence and cerebral infarction, Cannothaprs and other elderly patients with cerebral infarction, , myocardial infarction, the temperature drops in winter, and the condition is prone to worsen, which will have a greater impact.
In addition, when the weather is cold, it will also increase the incidence and recurrence of some other diseases, such as influenza, pneumonia , bronchial asthma , gastrointestinal bleeding , etc. If you do not pay attention and do not actively treat it, it will have a greater impact on your health and lifespan.
So it makes sense that winter is the deadly obstacle for the elderly.
So in winter, what should the elderly pay attention to? The following 3 do not do it. It is recommended that elderly friends keep it in mind and do it to help you have a safe winter:
3 do:
① Moderately keep warm
Since cold will aggravate some diseases, you must do a good job of keeping warm. In winter, the elderly should pay special attention to keeping warm in their heads, feets, abdomen and other parts. It should be reminded that in winter, many people will use electric blankets or hot water bags to keep warm. When the elderly use these heating items, they should pay more attention to safety and do not turn on the electric blankets all night.
② Happy
When the day is cold, people's emotions will also be affected, especially some elderly people like cat winter and rarely go out in a winter. If you stay alone, you will be more likely to think randomly and be lonely. It is recommended that the elderly make themselves happy, do not think about it every day, do not count the days, and think about how long they can live. When the weather is good, go out to bask in the sun appropriately, chat with neighbors and chat with neighbors .
③ Standardize the medication
Many elderly people suffer from diseases and need to take medicine for a long time. In winter, some indicators in their bodies will change due to the influence of temperature, so some people will adjust the dosage themselves. This is not advisable, and they must continue to standardize the medication. If the indicator fluctuates, you must first inform the doctor, and adjust it if it needs to be adjusted, and then adjust it under its guidance.
The condition of many elderly people is not well controlled. It is not that the medicine they take is useless, but that they do not take it in a standardized manner. , without authorization, reduce the dosage, eat and stop, and do not take , and other wrong practices are not conducive to treatment.
3 not to do:
Don’t take a bath for too long
Many elderly people in the countryside do not have water heaters at home. Although there is solar energy, the temperature is low in winter and it will freeze. The use is not as good as in summer. They usually go to the bathroom on the street to wash . In the bathroom outside, many elderly people like to soak in the pool for a while, then wash and rub their backs. From the beginning to the end, it may take one or two hours .
However, if the elderly wash it for too long, it is easy to cause discomfort, such as dizziness . If you have cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases , you should pay more attention. If you accidentally slip, the consequences may be greater. It is recommended to keep the washing time within half an hour. It is best to go with your family and not by yourself.
Don't exert too much force when defecating
As aged, digestion slows down, many elderly people are troubled by constipation and cannot be excreted, and people will unconsciously increase their efforts. However, doing this frequently will cause the abdominal pressure of to increase , affecting normal blood supply. blood pressure is prone to rise. For the elderly who are already high, there is greater hidden danger and may increase the risk of anti-diseases such as cerebral infarction.
If you have constipation, it is recommended that the elderly increase their water consumption appropriately and eat some vegetables rich in dietary fiber . You can rub your abdomen when you are free. If the adjustment does not relieve it, it is recommended to seek help from a doctor.
Don't get up too fast
Early morning is the moment when the cardiovascular event Cardiovascular event is a relatively high incidence. If you do this at this time, it will have a great impact on your blood pressure. It is recommended that the elderly lie down for a short time after waking up, move their mouths and hands and feet to promote blood circulation , and then slowly get up. I hope you should pay attention to the above things. Pay more attention in winter, which is conducive to controlling the condition, spending winter safely, and also helps maintain health and prolong life.
Most of the elderly who live long life have the following characteristics. The more they meet, the more likely they are to be "destined" to long life
First, do not take various supplements and tonics
Many elderly who live long life actually eat very simple every day, eat vegetables, meat, and eggs. But now many people are very careful when eating. For example, people with high blood lipids dare not eat eggs, they dare not eat meat when they have three highs, and they don’t eat many foods, but they believe in some tonics and tonics, and think it is beneficial to take them, and believe that they can cure diseases without preventing diseases.
Too much is too little. Longevity is not something that can be eaten with tonics. The old saying goes: "Cake cabbage and tofu ensure safety." The plainness is the truth.
2, can face the disease
Some elderly people feel that they won’t live long, such as cancer. But most people are cured by cancer, and some even get cancer multiple times in their lives. Face the disease and actively seek medical treatment will help the sick elderly.
3, be open-minded, not trapped in the past, not afraid of the future
"heartless, live a hundred years old", have a good mentality, can see openly, and will not always compete with yourself. If you are always trapped in the past and fear the future, you may get sick if you are not sick.
To sum up, winter has a great impact on the elderly. It not only affects the quality of life but also affects lifespan. The elderly who can do the above things may be able to overcome this hurdle safely and live longer. In addition, if you have the characteristics mentioned above, it is worth congratulations and is conducive to health and longevity.
