This morning (May 7), the Silver Age College of Poly Xinyu West District of Hongshan District held a health science lecture to teach the elderly how to maintain health.
"Rice, it doesn't mean that you can use it for the human body as soon as you eat it, it needs to go through a complex digestive system, and this process will also consume a huge amount of energy ......"
At 9:30 a.m. on the 7th, the community health exchange in the West District of Poly Heart Language was launched at the Community Silver Age College. Dr. Li from the community health service station is explaining the secrets of the body to the residents: "Traditional Chinese medicine comes from nature and can be metabolized by the human body. When is it toxic to the human body? It's that you're eating the wrong thing. For example, you shouldn't eat rhubarb, you eat rhubarb, you shouldn't eat ginseng, you eat ginseng, at this time, it's bad for the human body......"
After the seminar, more than 40 community members sat around the five-metre-long and two-metre-wide communication table and asked Dr. Li questions about their health concerns.
Putting a cup of warm water at the bedside before going to bed is a habit that Liu Nianqing, a resident of the community, has maintained for many years, but is this habit beneficial to the body? Taking the opportunity of this exchange, Liu Nianqing raised his hand and asked Dr. Li: "I heard that when I sleep at night, the water content in the blood is the lowest, and drinking a little water can replenish the water in the blood, okay?"
The doctor explained that whether or not to drink water at night depends on whether the individual can adapt to it, and the easiest way is to observe your tongue: "You treat your tongue as a piece of meat, you see if the meat is soaked in water, if the tongue seems to be soaked in water for a long time, it means that the water has been drunk too much, and some people's tongues are very dry, then it looks like there is a lack of water." “
How much water do you have to drink in a day? What is going on with your eyes not being able to see clearly? How to curb hair loss? Since the beginning of summer, the elderly have had a lot of experience on how to cope with temperature changes and maintain a healthy body.
Guo Xiufen, a resident of the community, said unsatisfactorily: "The health lecture is good, everyone interacts, anyone can say anything, some elderly people don't like physical examinations, and the community arranges doctors to talk to us here to increase our knowledge." “
Since its opening 8 years ago, Poly Xinyu West District Community Silver Age College has often held various popular science lectures, among which health and wellness knowledge is the most popular among residents. Jiang Feng, the community secretary of Poly Xinyu West District, introduced that because there are many elderly people in the community and each person's physique is different, the community has specially built a gossip doctor-patient exchange platform for health knowledge popularization, and residents can raise any questions, and doctors can give professional advice, which can solve residents' personal problems more targeted, meet personalized health and wellness needs, and improve the overall health literacy of community residents.
