The epidemic situation in novel coronavirus is fierce. Because of the deterioration of various physiological functions, the elderly have become high-risk groups and need to be protected.
Besides wearing masks, washing hands frequently and ventilation, what other preventive measures are there to deal with the epidemic?
Please reserve six suggestions for the elderly:
1, eat enough food and keep a proper weight.
Old friends should eat at least 12 kinds of food every day, not only with more varieties but also with more colors. Breakfast should have a staple food, an egg and a glass of milk, preferably vegetables or fruits; Chinese food and dinner should have at least one staple food, one meat dish, one vegetarian dish and one porridge or soup.
2. Ensure sufficient high-quality protein.
Adequate protein is helpful to delay muscle attenuation and maintain the normal function of immune system. Old friends should eat more food rich in high-quality protein.
3. Prevent nutritional deficiency
During the virus epidemic, elderly friends should pay special attention to adequate intake of vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin D, calcium, iron and magnesium. , thereby enhancing resistance and relieving anxiety and stress.
4, a small amount of meals, soft food, to prevent coughing.
In addition to three meals a day, elderly friends can eat two or three more meals. Try to make the food soft, and chew it slowly when eating to adapt to your digestion and absorption ability.
5. Take the initiative to drink enough water
Old friends should take the initiative to drink a small amount of water for many times, each time 50- 100ml, and the daily drinking amount should be 1500- 1700ml.
6. Indoor family sports
During the virus epidemic, going out decreased, and Tai Ji Chuan, radio gymnastics and other home sports became the first choice. If you are interested in static activities, you should get up and exercise every hour to avoid sedentary.
Friends,
Have you ever considered such a question:
What should we do when we are old?
It's only a matter of time before each of us gets old; I don't know if you have ever thought about what it will be like when you are old; I sometimes wonder, when I was 70 or 80 years old, was I wrinkled or seriously ill, or was I "No Country for Old Men"?
What it will be like then.
We are getting farther and farther away from the word old every day, but in any case, aging cannot be changed.
"
At the age of 20, vital capacity began to decline slowly; The decrease of brain neurons will affect memory, coordination and brain function;
At the age of 35, it began to age, and the tissue and fat of the breast began to lose;
At the age of 40, the efficiency of the heart to deliver blood to the whole body will begin to decrease;
Aging at the age of 50;
At the age of 55, the digestive function of human body decreases and the risk of intestinal diseases increases;
The liver will age at the age of 70. It seems that the liver is the only organ in the body that can challenge the aging process.
The 75-year-old man's renal filtration blood volume is half that of the 30-year-old man;
At the age of 80, we will lose 25%-50% of our muscles;
At the age of 85, more than 40% people are at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
"
So, what should we do when we are old?
The topic of "a sense of security for the elderly" will be brought up again, but is it really possible?
The answer must be considered. It is not because children are unfilial, but because there is nothing they can do.
Like now, many people are studying and working in other places, some have settled in other places, and some still don't know if they will come back.
Therefore, if parents go to take refuge in the future, they should look at their physical condition, financial situation and the wishes of their children and spouses. Everything is hard to come to a conclusion.
Moreover, most of them are only children now. A child has to take care of three or four old people, and the child has children of his own. Family members need to be taken care of, even if they have eight hands, they can't take care of them comprehensively.
So most of the choices are to send parents to nursing homes.
There is also a lot of controversy about this. Of course, some people may say that it is still early. Why do you think so much? Is it still early? It is getting late.
You know, for those born after 1990, there are still 10 years left after 1970. The oldest person born after 1970 is 47 this year, and the youngest is 38 years old.
In other words, your parents are old, and China has entered one of the most aging countries in the world.
According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics of China, in 20 18, the elderly population aged 60 and above in China was 250 million, accounting for 17.9% of the total population. The World Health Organization predicts that by 2050, 35% of China's population may be over 60 years old, making it one of the most aging countries in the world.
In other words, believe it or not, your parents, your friends, your relatives and friends are counting down.
As a worldwide problem, population aging has hindered the development of all countries, and at the same time, it has spawned a new employment project-pension industry. However, at present, there are less than 300,000 nursing staff in China's pension institutions, which is a drop in the bucket compared with the huge demand for pension service talents.
Why don't you want to learn?
Many people say that it is a nanny's job, but it is actually a misunderstanding. Professional elderly care, let's give an example. Like the elderly, when they are old, they often suffer from three or more chronic diseases with many complications, which are beyond the reach of ordinary nannies and nursing workers. It can also be said that the ability of nannies and caregivers is limited to accompanying or housekeeping, while the caregivers for the aged have more professional nursing knowledge and skills, and can provide professional rehabilitation care for the sick elderly, postoperative patients, vegetative patients and paralyzed bedridden patients. In addition, the special care for the mental and psychological care of the elderly is incomparable to ordinary nursing workers.
Moreover, with the advent of an aging society, a large number of people with professional knowledge and ability are needed to provide for the elderly, and nursing staff for the elderly are one of the important forces, which can bring great help to the elderly in their later years. Because of this, there is a growing demand for elderly nursing staff in society, and it has gradually become a hot emerging profession.
According to the data, according to the ratio of the elderly population to nursing staff of 3 1, there are 28.3 million elderly people in China who can't take care of themselves at all, and * * * needs/kloc-0.0 million elderly nursing staff.
