The period of high incidence of cardioencephalopathy has arrived. Recently, the temperature difference between morning and evening has changed very much, but many of us have not yet realized that danger is coming, especially many elderly people themselves do not feel it. So we have to remind us that if we find that the elderly at home have trouble getting up, arm numbness, and dizziness, pay special attention.
Like one of my elders in the family, that is, at the beginning of the old man's arm numbness, no one in the family paid attention to it, until the old man really had a cerebral infarction before he thought of going to the hospital for first aid, although later the person was rescued, but then paralyzed, the family took care of the old man for a few years and then the old man still did not survive and left.
So sometimes, it's not that we don't have money to treat the elderly, it's not that we can't treat the elderly, it's just that we often miss the best "** rescue time". In fact, it is necessary to help the elderly develop normal eating and living Xi habits from the very beginning, and help the elderly improve their mental and brain health, such as the elderly should hold fat meat in their hands, eat less salt and more light taste in daily life, and it is best not to let the elderly eat pickles pickled at home. Because these will lead to an increase in sodium ions in the elderly, which will lead to changes in blood pressure and induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular lesions.
What should the elderly be advised to do?Today I will talk about 3 points, I hope you will pay attention:
Point 1: Consume nutrients in moderation to maintain a healthy physique
Freshwater fish and marine fish are recommended in the diet, but the daily intake should not exceed 75 grams. Because both freshwater fish and marine fish contain EPA (docosaepentaenoic acid, an unsaturated fatty acid, an important part of the brain and nervous system) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid, also an unsaturated fatty acid) that fight blood clotting and thrombosis, it is recommended that eating fish can effectively prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
In addition, the diet should be light, and the daily salt intake should not exceed 6 grams, especially pickled pickles, which are best not eaten by the elderly or people with high blood pressure. Increase your intake of vegetables and fruits, as they contain not only vitamins, but also anthocyanins and other elements that benefit blood vessels. In addition, eating more foods containing magnesium, potassium, and calcium can help maintain the normal function of the heart and avoid symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, palpitations, and palpitations. For example, bananas, shrimp skin, soy milk, etc.
Point 2: Light exercise to improve the heart's ability to pump blood
It is important to know that blood pressure control cannot only focus on blood pressure medications, and the best way is to exercise lightly. First, regular exercise can help the heart muscles to be more developed and can provide higher energy for pumping blood, and secondly, light exercise can allow blood to flow throughout the body, thus reducing the pressure in the arteries.
However, the elderly and people with high blood pressure should pay attention to avoid the peak of high blood pressure, such as 6 to 9 in the morning and 4 to 6 in the afternoon. Then choose some more relaxed, soothing blood flow exercises, such as tai chi, walking, slow walking, etc. Why do we see that many elderly people walk with their hands behind their backs, in fact, it is the best way to exercise.
Point 3: A good mood can stabilize pressure, and chronic diseases must be cured
We have all talked about it above, saying that half of the problems of high blood pressure are the diseases that come out of the qi. In fact, the most typical symptom is high blood pressure. Excessive qi can also lead to stagnation of liver qi, resulting in insomnia, irritation and other conditions. Therefore, as the elderly, we should pay attention to maintaining a stable mentality, make ourselves emotionally stable, and think more about "children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren".
In addition, you can choose some hobbies that suit you, such as drinking tea (not strong tea), guqin, according to traditional Chinese medicine, ** has a healing effect, and it is also a good medicine for heart disease. In addition, watching TV, meditating, reading a good book, etc., are the most suitable ways to stabilize your state of mind, change your mood, and empty yourself to lower your blood pressure.
Finally, I would like to say that your blood pressure is stable and your family mentality is stable, so that your family can be happy and healthy. I am You Yi, a Chinese medicine teacher, who specializes in the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. High blood pressure
