"Lao Li, you have to pay more attention to rest, don't always worry so much." The doctor's words echoed in Lao Li's ears, he had just come out of the physical examination center, pondering the doctor's words in his heart.
Today is a good day, and his son Li Qiang took the whole family to the indoor swimming pool to play. Although Lao Li is not very good at swimming, he is also infected with this joy, sitting by the pool and watching his grandchildren play.
Lao Li, 65 years old, is a retired teacher who likes to read and write, and occasionally gives lectures to children in the community.
After the results of this physical examination came out, the doctor advised him to rest well and avoid overexertion. Despite this, Lao Li decided not to let this incident affect the happy time of the family.

"Grandpa, grandpa, you can also come down and swim for a while!" The youngest grandson, Li Xiaobao, waved his little hands excitedly in the water.
"Okay, grandpa come down and play with you!" Lao Li took off his shoes and socks with a smile and carefully got into the water. The warm stream of water enveloped his body, making him feel refreshed. After swimming, the whole family drove home together, and everyone had a good chat.
"Dad, what did the doctor say about this medical check-up?" Li Qiang asked with concern. "It's not a big deal, it's just that you have to rest more and don't worry about it." Lao Li said lightly. "Then you have to pay attention, the doctor still has to listen." Li Qiang admonished.
At this time, Li Qiang's wife Liu Fang interjected: "I heard that the elderly are prone to heat stroke in summer, and today is a little heat, do we have to pay attention?" ”
Lao Li nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, you really have to be careful in summer." The doctor also said to keep it cool and eat properly. ”
"So how?" Liu Fang continued to ask.
Lao Li recalled the doctor's advice and decided to tell his family in detail: "The doctor reminded him of a few things. First of all, this season, the old man should be lazy. ”
"Lazy? What does that mean? Li Qiang looked puzzled.
"To be lazy means not to overexert yourself and to minimize physical exertion. Especially in the middle of the day, when it is the hottest, it is best to rest at home. A proper nap is good for the body. Lao Li explained.
Li Qiang nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, the sun is poisonous at noon in summer, and I really can't stand it when I go out to work." ”
"That's right, the doctor also said, the second thing is, there are some things not to do." Lao Li continued.
"Don't do anything?" Liu Fang asked curiously.
"For example, strenuous exercise and activity that sweats a lot. In this season, the elderly should not go to the mountains and runs, which are easy to sweat. If you sweat a lot, you will be easily dehydrated, and the risk of heat stroke will be greater. Lao Li patiently explained.
Liu Fang nodded in understanding: "That is, let's do less of these exercises in the future and rest more at home." ”
"The last thing is to eat more." Lao Li said with a smile.
"Eat more? What's going on? Shouldn't you eat less in the summer? Li Qiang asked suspiciously.
"'Eat more' here refers to eating more foods that help clear away heat and relieve heat, such as mung bean soup, watermelon, and cucumber." Lao Li explained, "The doctor also specifically mentioned that it is necessary to eat more high-protein foods, such as fish and eggs, which can enhance the body's resistance. ”
"I see, I always thought it would be good to eat less light food in the summer." Liu Fang suddenly realized.
"Yes, the doctor said that these foods can not only replenish nutrients, but also help detoxify the body. Especially the elderly, whose body functions are declining, need these nutrients even more. Lao Li said seriously.
After returning home, Lao Li opened the refrigerator and prepared to cook dinner for his family. Liu Fang hurriedly stopped: "Dad, you sit and rest, let's do it." ”
Lao Li smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll make a mung bean soup to clear the heat and relieve the heat, you can eat." ”
After dinner, Lao Li sat in the living room, recalled the doctor's advice, and felt that it was necessary to share these health knowledge with more middle-aged and elderly friends. So, he decided to organize a health talk in the community and invite doctors to explain health knowledge in the summer.
A few days later, when the community's activity center was crowded with people, Lao Li stood on the podium and said: "Friends, today we invited Dr. Wang from the physical examination center to explain to you the health knowledge of summer, especially for us middle-aged and elderly people, how to stay healthy in this season. ”
Dr. Wang walked up to the podium and began to explain: "Hello everyone, the weather is hot in summer, especially after entering the summer heat, it is more important to pay attention to some health problems. First of all, middle-aged and elderly people should avoid overwork and maintain proper rest. This is very important, as many cases of heat stroke in summer are caused by overexertion. ”
"Second, avoid strenuous exercise. In summer, high temperatures and strenuous exercise can lead to heavy sweating, which can easily cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalances in the body, increasing the risk of heat stroke. We encourage some relaxing activities such as walking, tai chi, etc. "
"The third point is to pay attention to your diet. In summer, eat some foods that clear away heat and relieve heat, such as mung bean soup, watermelon, cucumber, etc., while ensuring protein intake, and eat more high-protein foods such as fish and eggs, which can help enhance the body's resistance. "
Dr. Wang's words resonated with everyone, and they all nodded in agreement. A community resident raised his hand to speak: "Doctor, I usually like to exercise, can I continue in the summer?" ”
Dr. Wang smiled and replied, "Of course, you can, but you have to pay attention to the ways and means." For example, in the morning and evening, when the temperature is low, you can do appropriate exercise to avoid the high temperature period at noon. In addition, there are some indoor activities to choose from, such as swimming, which will allow you to exercise without overheating. ”
Lao Li listened to Dr. Wang's explanation and felt that he had benefited a lot. After that, he talked to friends in the community, and all of them said that they should carefully follow the doctor's advice and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Back home, Lao Li sat at his desk and began to organize the content of today's lecture. He decided to write an article to record this useful health knowledge and share it with more middle-aged and elderly friends.
He picked up the pen and wrote: "Summer is coming, middle-aged and elderly people should pay special attention to their health. First of all, be lazy and reduce physical exertion, especially during hot periods.
Second, there are some things not to do, avoid strenuous exercise and activities that sweat a lot. Finally, eat more, especially heat-clearing foods and high-protein foods, which can help strengthen the body's resistance......"
Lao Li writes very seriously, and feels that this knowledge is not only useful to him, but also hopes that more people can benefit. After writing, he picked up the phone and called the community center to schedule the next health talk.
