As we age, the physical health of the elderly will gradually decline. When the elderly show some signs, it means that their life expectancy is running out. Children should accompany them more, give more love and care, so that the elderly can live more comfortably and happily in a limited time.
The following is a detailed introduction of these 4 signs in the body of the elderly, which indicate that the likely life expectancy of the elderly is running out.
Tiredness and weakness: The physical function of the elderly has gradually declined, and the metabolic capacity has become sluggish, resulting in a decline in physical strength in the elderly and easy to feel fatigue. If the elderly person has been feeling tired and weak for some time and does not have any obvious symptoms, then this may be one of the signs that life expectancy is approaching.
Loss of appetite: The digestive system function of the elderly gradually declines, and the gastrointestinal tract becomes more and more fragile, resulting in loss of appetite in the elderly. If the elderly are reluctant to eat or just eat a little, then this is likely to be one of the signs of approaching life.
Difficulty breathing: Respiratory function in older people also declines with age, causing difficulty breathing. If an elderly person has symptoms of wheezing, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, it may be one of the signs that life is approaching.
Acute pain: The body's immunity in the elderly gradually decreases, making the elderly more vulnerable to various infections and diseases. If the elderly suddenly experience severe pain, especially in the joints, chest and abdomen, then this may also be one of the signs that life is approaching.
When the elderly show these signs, children should accompany them as much as possible and provide them with more love and care. Here are some suggestions to help seniors get through the rest of their lives:
Provide adequate safety and security for the elderly to make them feel reassured and at ease.
Pay attention to the diet and health of the elderly, especially whether the elderly have malnutrition and improper diet.
Provide a comfortable environment for the elderly, such as soft and comfortable beds, warm quilts, comfortable clothes, etc., for the elderly, so that they feel comfortable and relaxed.
Provide the elderly with appropriate exercise and physical activity, such as walking, light stretching, jogging, etc., so that they can maintain a certain amount of physical activity, but also help to enhance the physical function and immunity of the elderly.
Provide psychological support and care to the elderly, such as chatting with the elderly, listening to the elderly, helping the elderly solve problems in life, etc., so that the elderly can feel the warmth and love of their families, and help the elderly reduce anxiety and tension.
If the elderly have needs, they can be provided with certain medical and nursing services, such as regular health checks, taking medicines on time, life care, etc., so that the elderly can get better physical care and protection.
In short, when the elderly have the above signs, children should accompany them more, give more love and care, so that the elderly can live more comfortably and happily in a limited time. At the same time, the elderly should also be provided with appropriate physical and psychological support to help them maintain a healthy and happy life. In this way, even if the life expectancy of the elderly is running out, they can receive the best love and care in their last years, allowing them to spend the rest of their lives in peace.
