We all know that when we get older, there will be all kinds of problems in the body, and today we will talk about the ears of the elderly, if the following three abnormalities appear, it may be a signal that a cerebral infarction is quietly approaching.
First of all, if the elderly suddenly experience hearing loss, and it is accompanied by tinnitus, it may be a sign of poor blood flow, and the lack of blood supply can affect the function of the inner ear, leading to hearing problems.
For example, an elderly man (virtual character) who loves gardening, who is usually physically tough, but recently noticed that the birdsong in the garden has become indistinct, which may be a health sign that he needs to pay attention to.
Dear readers, it is not easy for the author to write an article, and his income is meager, so he has to add a short 5-second advertisement to the article, and you can read the full text for free by watching. I know this may be a little intrusive, but your understanding and support is my biggest motivation! I'll try to bring more quality content!
If an elderly person suddenly feels dizzy or feels unsteady when walking, it may be because the balance organ of the inner ear is affected, because the inner ear is not only responsible for hearing, but also the key to the body's balance.
For example, an elderly virtual character who loves to play chess after retirement) has recently experienced bouts of vertigo while playing chess, which may indicate a possible problem with blood flow to the brain.
The third warning sign is that the ear begins to experience a frequent feeling of pressure or blockage, which may be related to poor circulation, and abnormal expansion or contraction of blood vessels may cause changes in the pressure in the ear.
There is an elderly avatar who often participates in community activities) and has recently complained that his ears feel like they are being blocked by water, which may be an indirect sign of blood pressure problems.
The blood vessels of the elderly are more likely to have poor blood flow due to factors such as aging and arteriosclerosis, which directly affects the blood supply to the brain and increases the risk of cerebral infarction.
Therefore, once the above-mentioned ear abnormalities appear in the elderly's home, the family should not take it lightly, and it is best to take them to the hospital for further examination in time so as not to miss the best time for treatment.
Cerebral infarction is one of the many health challenges that older people face, but fortunately, with a few simple daily activities, we can significantly reduce this risk.
First, let's talk about finger exercises. This may sound strange, given that fingers don't seem to have much to do with the brain. But in reality, subtle finger movements can stimulate the brain's neural activity and enhance the brain's connection with the rest of the body.
For example, an elderly man who loves to knit and insists on this activity every day not only exercises the dexterity of his hands, but also activates the brain through fine hand-eye coordination. This constant stimulation helps to keep the blood vessels alive and blood flowing smoothly.
Next up is aerobics. For the elderly, it is very important to choose proper calisthenics to avoid overexertion. A virtual example is an elderly person who attends a weekly community aerobics class and finds that his memory has improved while also feeling more energetic.
This is because regular body movement promotes the production of neurotransmitters in the brain, which contributes to the health of nerve cells and the formation of new neural connections.
Reading is also an excellent method, as we can strengthen the language processing areas of the brain and improve memory by reading regularly. When the elderly are engaged in reading, they need to concentrate, understand and remember information, and this activity can effectively activate multiple areas of the brain and enhance their function, thereby indirectly preventing the risk of cerebral infarction.
For example, an elderly person who maintains the habit of reading every day is more agile in his thinking and has a stronger ability to analyze problems, which is a direct reflection of the active brain.
Finally, jumping rope is also an underrated activity to prevent cerebral infarction. Although many seniors may think that skipping rope is a child's game, jumping rope is actually a highly effective aerobic exercise that can quickly increase heart rate and promote blood circulation. Jumping rope also improves lower body strength and coordination, which is essential for maintaining a good connection between the brain and the rest of the body.
Imagine an elderly man who jumps rope in the park every day, he is not only healthy, but also has a strengthened cardiovascular system, which greatly reduces the risk of cerebrovascular diseases.
Through these activities, the elderly not only enhance their physical health, but also directly or indirectly prevent the risk of cerebral infarction by promoting good blood circulation and brain vitality. Each activity doesn't require special skills or a high-intensity physical commitment, but it all plays an important role in keeping the brain and body energized.
Okay, now let's move on to the important topic of how to prevent cerebral infarction through diet. Everyone knows that "you are what you eat", and this phrase is especially important for the elderly. Today, I'm going to share some foods that are particularly helpful in preventing cerebral infarction and explain why they work.
First of all, barley is an often overlooked superfood that is rich in soluble and insoluble fiber, which can help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) in the blood and overall cholesterol levels.
For example, there is an elderly man (fictional character) who loves cooking, and he started adding barley to his daily diet and found that not only his cholesterol levels improved, but also his energy levels, which shows the potential of barley in maintaining vascular health.
Next up is green cabbage, a vegetable rich in powerful antioxidants such as vitamin C and glucosinolate, which both help reduce the body's oxidative stress, which is a key factor in cell damage and vascular problems.
There is an elderly person (virtual character) who regularly works out, and he adds a lot of green cabbage to his meals, which not only makes him feel more energetic, but also reduces his worries about cardiovascular problems.
Black beans are also a good choice for preventing cerebral infarction because they contain a lot of dietary fiber, protein, and key minerals such as potassium and magnesium, which are essential for cardiovascular health. Potassium can help regulate blood pressure, and blood pressure control is key to preventing cerebral infarction.
An elderly person (virtual character) who likes to be outdoors maintains a healthy blood pressure level by eating black beans several times a week, which is very helpful in preventing cerebral infarction.
Through the examples of these foods, we can see that a proper diet can not only improve the quality of daily life of the elderly, but also greatly reduce the risk of serious diseases such as cerebral infarction. The selection and pairing of these foods is not complicated, but the health benefits are long-term and profound.
What do you think about the elderly who have 3 abnormalities in their ears and should beware of the arrival of cerebral infarction? Welcome to discuss in the comment area!
