(1) Memory loss:
With the growth of age, human brain cells will be less degenerate, and our memory and reaction will be less agile than when we were young. This is a feature of human aging, but in life, we should also pay attention to whether the memory of the elderly at home has dropped significantly, whether they often forget things, have big emotional ups and downs, or often get lost. These are not only aging problems, but also possible precursors of Alzheimer's disease. If the elderly have the above symptoms in their lives, it is best to pay attention to them.
(2) easy to fall:
With the increase of age, the strength of the lower limbs of the elderly is weakened, and it is easy to fall when walking daily, but there are many reasons for falling, such as osteoporosis, dizziness and stroke. Moreover, after the elderly fall, it is easy to cause some diseases, such as fractures and osteoporosis.
(3) Emotional changes;
Such as anxiety, anxiety, panic, etc. One is the fear of illness, and the other is an emotion in life, especially when you retire at home, you will be backward, lonely and desolate. Loneliness often leads to restless sleep, blood pressure fluctuation, loss of appetite and fatigue, which leads to severe hypertension, coronary heart disease and ulcers. In addition, some brain diseases, for example, will also affect the mood of the elderly.
(4) frequent dizziness:
There are many factors that cause dizziness, such as insufficient blood supply to the brain, anemia, stroke, cerebral infarction and cervical spondylosis. These will all cause this symptom.
(5) Incontinence: When the elderly have incontinence, we must investigate the reasons, because incontinence can be cured. Etiology includes urinary tract infection, too little exercise and abnormal metabolism. In addition, diuretics and sedatives can also cause urinary incontinence.
(6) Degenerative changes of muscles: In old age, muscles will undergo degenerative changes, which are manifested as muscle aging symptoms such as muscle elasticity, strength, endurance and control. An important factor of muscle aging is lack of exercise.
1. Spiritual comfort meets the needs of dependence
Most elderly people in life suffer from autism after retirement. Psychologically, the elderly generally feel lonely and empty. They hope to enjoy family happiness and get the warmth of their families. The care of the younger generation will make the elderly feel great comfort and meet their spiritual dependence requirements.
2. Life is planned and regular.
With the increase of age, the immune function of the elderly gradually declines, and their resistance is much worse than before. Therefore, in daily life, the elderly should arrange their daily life reasonably. Regular sleep, healthy sleep and reasonable sleep plan play a very important role in the health of the elderly. Properly handle the details of life, maintain good habits and ensure physical and mental health. For example, pay attention to exercise, arrange life reasonably and so on.
3. Eat regularly.
When the disease enters the mouth, the diet of the elderly should pay special attention, such as paying attention to nutrition collocation, giving priority to low fat and salt, and eating less high cholesterol food. Eat less fat and animal viscera, and the fat content is too high, which is easy to cause cardiovascular diseases; In addition, eat less overnight meals. Overnight meals generally contain a lot of nitrite, which can easily lead to hypertension, heart disease and arteriosclerosis.
