Huazi has answered health questions for many people and found one thing, the elderly are the most concerned about health, but also the lowest level of health. The reason for this is not only because the physiological functions of the elderly have deteriorated, but also because many people have entered the health misunderstanding due to excessive attention to health.
Elderly friends should understand the correct health knowledge and avoid health misunderstandings in order to better prevent diseases and delay aging.
First, the legs and feet cannot be practiced as much as possible
Some elderly friends will increase their activity when knee joint pain occurs, thinking that the legs and feet will be better and better practiced, but the result is that the symptoms of pain are getting heavier and heavier.
This is because with the aging of age, the muscles and bones of the human body will undergo degenerative changes, the repair ability of joint cartilage will decrease, wear and tear will increase, and degenerative osteoarthritis will occur.
What needs to be done at this time is to rest fully, reduce activity, and ensure balanced nutrition in order to promote joint repair and reduce symptoms.
Second, drinking vinegar can not soften the blood vessels
If you soak a bone in vinegar, the bone will soften. Therefore, some people take it for granted that vinegar has a "softening" effect, and drinking vinegar so much will have a softening effect on the hardened blood vessels in the body.
But the vinegar we drink cannot directly enter the blood vessels, and it will not play a role in softening the blood vessels at all. The vinegar we drank only increased the flavor of the food, replenished some moisture and trace elements, and increased the irritation of the gastric mucosa.
In fact, the stomach acid in the human body is hydrochloric acid, which is much stronger than acetic acid, and if you can rely on acid to soften the blood vessels, stomach acid can already dry this thing.
Third, excessive frugality is not conducive to health
Many elderly friends have experienced the hardships of poverty and whiteness, and have the habit of frugality. Leftovers and leftovers are not willing to be thrown away, and will be heated before eating. The fruit is moldy and rotten, and it will cut off the bad parts and eat the parts that look good. However, although these foods do not look bad, they are easily contaminated by bacteria, and in fact, the bacteria have exceeded the standard and are not suitable for continued consumption.
If you eat a bad stomach, the medical expenses spent may not be saved by eating twenty leftover meals. And after the vegetables are overnight, the nitrite content in them will increase. Even if the leftovers do not deteriorate, nitrite will be converted into carcinogenic nitrite amines in the stomach, which is a great threat to health and more than worth the loss. Therefore, frugality is a virtue, but excessive is not conducive to health.
Fourth, less oil and less salt can not be excessive
Eating too much salt can cause high blood pressure, and eating too much oil can cause high blood lipids. Therefore, many elderly people will carry out diet control and eat a diet with less salt and less oil. But eating salt is not as little as possible, the human body needs a certain amount of sodium ions to maintain osmotic pressure.
When salt intake is insufficient, hyponatremia occurs, causing damage to the central nervous system. Therefore, it is the healthiest to control the daily salt level between 3 and 6 grams.
Some fat-soluble nutrients need to be dissolved in fat to be absorbed by the body, so if the diet is "not stained with oil", it will cause malnutrition and cause metabolic disorders. Therefore, it is necessary to consume about 25 grams of fat per day to ensure the health of the body, and it is recommended to choose vegetable oil with a high content of unsaturated fatty acids.
Fifth, exercise do not "hurry up"
Many elderly people like to get up early and practice in the morning, although the plan of the day lies in the morning, but the morning is not a good time to exercise. Because the human body's sympathetic nervous activity is enhanced in the morning, blood pressure also has the "morning peak phenomenon", from 6 to 10 o'clock in the morning, it is often the highest blood pressure time of the day in the human body, which is prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.
The time for the elderly to exercise should be in the afternoon or evening. Exercise 1 hour after a meal to avoid exercise affecting digestive function, but also to prevent hypoglycemia, but also remember to replenish water before exercise.
Sixth, do not go to the infusion to prevent blood clots
Many elderly friends believe that regular infusion can flush blood vessels, wash away the "garbage" in blood vessels, regularly go to the hospital for infusion, and use some drugs that activate blood and dissolve stasis, which can prevent blood clots. But in fact, there is no garbage in the blood vessels of the human body, and the thrombosis-related diseases such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction are the consequences of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, smoking and other factors.
To prevent blood clots, you only need to quit smoking and control the "three highs", and maintain a healthy life. People with a high risk of disease need to be prevented by oral antiplatelet drugs and anticoagulants under the guidance of a doctor.
Infusion is a means of medication, unnecessary infusion is not beneficial to health, too much infusion will also bring excessive amounts of insoluble particles to the human body, induce granulomas in small blood vessels, there are potential health risks.
To sum up, the elderly population needs to pay attention to health, but the health knowledge on the Internet is uneven, we must pay attention to distinguish the correctness of knowledge, do not develop wrong health habits, and enter the health misunderstanding. I am a pharmacist Huazi, welcome to follow me and share more health knowledge.
