First, basic nursing of life
1, bed exercise
Wake up in the morning, don't get up in a hurry, lie quietly in bed for more than ten minutes and do necessary bed exercises.
Step 2 stretch your limbs
Rub each other with your hands and move your knuckles; Then do "dry face washing" 20~30 times. These actions can make the elderly adapt to the physiological changes from sleep to awakening, so that the body has a relatively transitional stage, so that it will not fall down because of sudden dizziness, and it can also gradually change the frequency of breathing and heartbeat to avoid the recurrence of heart disease.
3. Toilet practice
Brushing your teeth, gargling, washing your face and combing your hair are also very beneficial exercises for the elderly. When brushing your teeth, your upper limbs are active, so you should do it carefully. Cough exercise should be carried out after gargling to cough up phlegm in the respiratory tract. Cough without phlegm itself (even a few dry coughs) is beneficial to the expansion of alveoli and reduces the chance of lung infection. When washing your face, you can conveniently massage your face and increase the blood circulation of your face. On the one hand, combing hair can increase the blood circulation of scalp, improve scalp nutrition and prevent hair loss; On the other hand, combing the hair also exercises the lifting action of the upper limbs. Comb your hair with a blunt wooden comb 100 times every morning and evening, and alternate your hands, which is very beneficial to the health of the elderly.
4. Field activities
Appropriate outdoor sports, walking, jogging, doing exercises and practicing various kinds of boxing are the means for the elderly to enhance their own quality and improve their resistance.
5. Exercise at night
Bath at night: Besides repeating a set of activities in the bathroom in the morning, conditional elderly people can also take a bath before going to bed, which can dilate blood vessels in the whole body, relax muscles, reduce blood supply to the head and help them fall asleep. For most elderly people who are physically inconvenient or have no bathing conditions, soaking their feet with warm water is also very beneficial to promoting health and sleep.
Second, basic medical care
1, daily life and diet
After entering old age, many people suffer from cerebral arteriosclerosis, which leads to decreased brain activity, decreased sensitivity to the outside world and slow response. Because of this, it is difficult to show the pain caused by the disease. A slight negligence will delay treatment, causing serious consequences and even death. In addition, due to the increase of age, the immune function of the elderly is weakening day by day, and diseases will destroy the physiological balance in the body, causing the interaction between viscera and causing a vicious circle. This is why some old people have always been in good health, but later they suffered from minor illnesses, and their physical strength dropped significantly, leading to death. Therefore, experts suggest that special attention should be paid to these two aspects in the health care of the elderly.
We should not take it lightly to find that the daily diet of the elderly is abnormal, even if the change is minimal. We must go to the hospital and ask the doctor for the necessary examination.
