First, look at your blood pressure.
Blood pressure is an important criterion to judge the health status of the elderly. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have become high-risk diseases in middle-aged and elderly people, so we must pay attention to hypertension. You can prepare a sphygmomanometer at home and measure it as required. If you don't use antihypertensive drugs, measure your blood pressure three times in the outpatient clinic that day. Systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg are hypertension and need to be controlled in time.
Suggestion: Get into the habit of measuring blood pressure three times a day, and adjust your diet reasonably, scientifically and comprehensively. If the blood pressure is very high, it needs to be adjusted by medication in time under the guidance of a doctor.
Second, is the heart rate normal?
The health of the elderly is also directly related to the heart rate. Generally speaking, the heart rate of the elderly remains between 65 and 85 beats per minute. If it exceeds this standard, it means there are health problems; When the heart rate of the elderly is too high, it may be that there is something wrong with the heart organs.
Suggestion: Only by constantly measuring your heart rate every day can you know whether your body is in a healthy state. Because there are many methods to detect your heart rate now, you can choose the detection method according to your personal needs and check your personal health at any time.
Third, look at the cholesterol value.
Cholesterol is closely related to blood lipids. When the cholesterol value exceeds 5mmol/L, it will lead to hyperlipidemia and pose a threat to the health of the elderly. Therefore, for the health of the elderly, it is necessary to regularly detect cholesterol indicators. Once the abnormality is found, it needs to be adjusted and treated in time.
Suggestion: Keep a light and healthy diet, avoid excessive intake of high-fat and high-cholesterol foods, especially reduce the intake of foods such as fat and lard, insist on eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, reduce the accumulation of fat, and avoid problems such as hyperlipidemia and high cholesterol.
Fourth, the risk of cancer.
Cancer has begun to become a health killer for the elderly. Early detection and treatment of tumors is necessary. If it can be found early, the cure rate will be greatly improved. Therefore, everyone must check regularly to find out whether there are hidden dangers of tumors.
Suggestion: firstly, we should reduce the abuse of drugs and alcohol, and secondly, we should reduce the oil, salt and multivitamins in personal diet. Finally, you need to keep the good habit of exercising. You need to exercise at least three days a week, and the time of each exercise needs to be more than 30 minutes.
Old people, like children, are often called "the youngest" and "the youngest". As people with low immunity, we must pay enough attention to the health of the elderly, otherwise a small problem may lead to major diseases.
It is suggested to check the elderly at home according to the above four aspects. If there is a problem, it should be adjusted and treated in time. And because of equipment problems, sometimes our own inspections are not accurate enough. It is suggested that in addition to the usual daily check-ups, it is best for the elderly to go to the hospital for regular check-ups.
