In picturesque Chengdu, Uncle Li, a retired bank clerk, is busy cleaning at home.
Although he has entered old age, he has always maintained a good life.
However, while cleaning today, he accidentally slipped and sparked a violent dizziness.
For further examination, Uncle Li decided to go to a well-known local tertiary hospital for a comprehensive health assessment.
Go to the hospital for a check-up
At the hospital, Uncle Lee met his old friend, Dr. Zhang, who was also his family doctor.
After a series of examinations, the two began an in-depth health conversation.
Uncle Lee mentioned to Dr. Cheung some of his recent concerns, especially about his plans to return to his hometown.
After listening to this, Dr. Zhang earnestly popularized some important knowledge about the health management of the elderly to Uncle Li.
Dr. Zhang began by pointing out that older people need to consider their own health when making major life decisions.
He proposed two things that people who are not far from "saying goodbye to their hometowns" should not do, or it is wise to do it:
First of all, it is necessary to avoid long journeys
Dr Teo explained that for some seniors with chronic medical conditions or poor physical conditions, long periods of travel may increase health risks.
Especially for people with heart disease, prolonged rides and lack of proper rest can lead to thrombosis, increasing the risk of heart attack.
The second is to avoid sudden changes in the living environment
Dr Cheung pointed out that the elderly are less adaptable than the younger, and a sudden change in living environment may cause psychological and physical discomfort, and even induce some diseases.
For seniors who are about to retire, it is more appropriate to gradually adapt to the new rhythm of life and environment.
In the following sections, Dr. Teo explained in detail what heart disease patients should pay attention to in their lives and provided some suggestions to prevent heart disease from getting worse.
He stressed the importance of avoiding strenuous activities and mood swings, and advised older adults to adopt some light leisure activities in their lives, such as walking and gardening.
epilogue
Dr. Zhang concluded that older people should fully consider their own health when making major decisions such as returning to their hometowns.
He encouraged everyone, especially the elderly, to stay focused on their health, make smart life choices, and seek medical attention promptly if they feel unwell.
With these prudent measures, everyone is able to improve their quality of life and enjoy a healthy, smooth old age.
