What we want to share today is the secret of spring health for middle-aged and elderly people!
First, let's talk about spring health
Spring is the season of hundred herbs returning to the buds and a hundred diseases, the weather is warm and cold and hot and fickle, with the warming of the climate, viruses and bacteria are easy to multiply, resulting in people getting sick, so spring health and disease prevention is particularly important, what are the common diseases in spring?
The warmer weather provides better conditions for the reproduction and growth of viruses and bacteria. Spring is the high season of colds, chickenpox, measles, meningococcal meningitis, scarlet fever and other infectious diseases, spring flowers bloom pollen everywhere, changeable climate can easily lead to immune allergic diseases, such as allergic rhinitis, laryngitis, allergic asthma, etc., chronic diseases such as chronic tracheitis, gastric sinusitis, chronic colitis and duodenal ulcer disease.
It is easy to recur in spring, especially in early spring, the temperature and air pressure change greatly, which can easily lead to over-excitement of the sympathetic nerve of the human body, increased blood pressure of vasoconstriction, and the phenomenon of vascular sclerosis in middle-aged and elderly people, thereby inducing and aggravating various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Spring health and disease prevention, the essence of disease prevention is to improve the individual's immunity, so as to resist the invasion of various viruses and bacteria, get rid of the disease. Generally speaking, the use of natural maintenance methods is the healthiest, but also the most beneficial to the human body, after achieving the purpose of strengthening the body, it can timely prevent and resist, the breeding and recurrence of various diseases.
Second, it can generally be recuperated from two aspects:
1. Living and recuperation
The spring breeze is gentle, and all things are revived. The body's metabolism has become vigorous, while the central nervous system is in a hypnotic and sedative state, feeling tired and sleepy, so middle-aged and elderly people should pay attention to going to bed early and getting up early, often carrying out outdoor activities, breathing fresh air, and maintaining contact with nature.
In spring, people's body surface is loose and the resistance is weak, more attention should be paid to clothing, can not rush to take off cotton clothes, especially the weaker physique of the middle-aged and elderly people, should pay more attention to keep warm and windproof, to cope with climate change at any time.
Spring has a dry climate. Also pay attention to the moisturizing work of the skin.
2. Diet maintenance.
Spring should be based on warm and light food, not too spicy and greasy. High-protein, multi-mineral, high-vitamin and low-fat foods should be preferred for richer nutritional combinations.
Third, the matters to pay attention to in spring exercise
Spring is the season of renewal of all things, conducive to the metabolism of the human body and the recovery of spirit, spring is the best time for physical exercise, middle-aged and elderly people have gone out of the house, breathe fresh air, through exercise to strengthen the body.
However, inappropriate physical exercise will bring harm to the human body, so middle-aged and elderly people need to pay attention to some things when exercising in spring:
1. It should not be too early
In early spring, the morning temperature is still very low, the fog is very thick, early physical exercise, the human body is susceptible to wind and cold, causing colds, asthma, cor pulmonale and other diseases, so it is more suitable to go out to exercise after the sun is born.
2. Do not want to fast
In the early morning, the metabolism of middle-aged and elderly people is relatively slow, and the body temperature and blood are low, so before the morning exercise, carry out a moderate diet, such as drinking milk, cereal and egg soup, etc., to supplement the necessary water for the human body, increase calorie supply, accelerate blood circulation, and improve the body's immunity.
3. Don't be in a hurry
After getting up in the morning, the muscles of middle-aged and elderly people are very relaxed, joint ligaments are stiff, limbs are not coordinated, need to move the body moderately, so that the body slowly stretches out, at this time twisting the lumbar branch to move the joints, can avoid physical damage caused by the rush to exercise, exercise to gradually measure the strength, do not be too intense, in order to prevent the occurrence of heart and lung diseases.
Fourth, be careful to pour spring cold to avoid life mistakes
Since the beginning of spring and the end of winter, spring is coming, but in the real sense, winter has not completely passed, the temperature is still changeable, the physical fitness of middle-aged and elderly people is weak, early spring should be more care and protection of the body, in real life there will be some misunderstandings, resulting in unnecessary health problems:
1. Some middle-aged and elderly people think that as long as they wear masks, they can resist cold air.
Thus preventing colds, there are a large number of blood vessels hidden in the nasal mucosa of the human body, blood circulation is vigorous, when cold air enters the lungs through the nose, and the body temperature is roughly close, the body's cold tolerance, should be strengthened by physical exercise, rather than simply wearing masks, that will make the human body become very squeamish, difficult to adapt to cold weather, moderate physical exercise for enhancing human quality, resisting various spring epidemics has a significant effect.
2. When your face is cooled by the cold wind, wash your face with hot water.
It is hoped that the temperature of the face can be quickly restored, and under the stimulation of cold air, the capillaries and sweat glands are in a state of contraction, and after preheating, they will expand rapidly, which is easy to cause wrinkles on the face. In addition, washing the face with warm water slightly lower than the body temperature can slowly restore the qi and blood, which has great benefits for the body's circulation.
3. Middle-aged and elderly people think that drinking alcohol can keep out the cold
When drinking, the alcohol rises and the body feels hot, which is the effect of alcohol, and alcohol is easy to cause cold after drinking, so middle-aged and elderly people should not drink to keep cold.
4. Use the stove to bake cold hands and feet
Grilling food with a stove can make qi and blood smooth through the action of heat and achieve the effect of activating blood and dispelling wind, but it is easier to bake with the stove after the hands and feet are cold, forming blood stasis frostbite. When the hands and feet are cold, it is best to rub the surface temperature of the hands and feet first, and then move to the heater or hot water to return it to normal temperature.
5. When the skin is itchy, scratch hard with your hands and blanch with boiling water
At the beginning of spring, the skin is more likely to feel dry and itchy, mainly due to the discord between the skin and flesh, resulting in slight heat or blood deficiency and dryness in the skin to produce hypothermia, itchy, many middle-aged and elderly people through hand scratching, or boiling water to relieve itching, not only damage to the skin, but also can not fundamentally stop itching, in fact, the most correct way should be to drink more water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, eat less sour and spicy and other irritating foods, usually pay attention to keep the skin surface clean.
