Healthy Wintering Program
As we age, the body's systems gradually age. In this process, some symptoms and manifestations may lead people to mistake it for a disease, which in turn costs a lot of money and time on unnecessary**. In this article, we'll look at some of the common signs of aging and how to look for and deal with them properly.
1. Occasional premature heart beats.
As we age, the electrical activity of the heart also changes, which can lead to arrhythmias such as premature beats. In the Holter examination, many people will find premature beats, but as long as there are no obvious symptoms such as palpitation and chest tightness, there is generally no need to worry too much. Premature beats are one of the manifestations of heart aging, but if the symptoms are more obvious and affect daily life, it is still necessary to seek help from a doctor.
2. Backache and leg pain, slow walking.
The incidence of osteoarthropathy increases with age. Reduced synovial fluid, thinning of cartilage, and bone spur formation can all contribute to symptoms such as backache and leg pain and slow walking. In this case, symptoms can be relieved with proper exercise and calcium supplementation, but if the pain is severe, you need to seek help from a doctor.
3. Increased blood pressure.
As we age, hardening of the arteries is inevitable, which can lead to increased blood pressure. For the elderly, it is normal for blood pressure to be controlled at 1580 mm Hg. However, if blood pressure is too high, it needs to be controlled with lifestyle changes and medications**.
Fourth, frequent leg cramps and calcium deficiency.
As we age, the incidence of osteoporosis and calcium deficiency gradually increases. This can lead to leg cramps, broken bones, and other issues. Proper exercise and sun exposure can help the body synthesize vitamin D and promote the absorption and utilization of calcium. If calcium deficiency is severe, calcium supplementation may be needed to relieve symptoms.
Fifth, the sleep time is shortened and the quality is deteriorated.
As we age, it is common for sleep duration to decrease and the quality of sleep deteriorates. This may be due to a decrease in the body's ability to secrete hormones such as melatonin. If it does not affect the mental state and quality of life during the day, there is generally no need to worry too much. However, if sleep problems are seriously affecting your daily life, you need to seek help from your doctor.
6. Poor digestive function.
As we age, our digestive function deteriorates. This may be due to deterioration of the taste system, slowing down of gastrointestinal peristalsis, etc. In this case, it is necessary to pay attention to dietary hygiene and balanced nutrition, and avoid bad Xi such as excessive alcohol consumption and smoking. If your digestive problems are more severe, you may need to seek help from your doctor.
7. Prostatic hyperplasia and calcification.
The prostate gland is part of the male reproductive system, and as we age, problems such as hyperplasia and calcification of the prostate gland can also occur. This may affect the ability of men to urinate. If the symptoms are severe, they may need to be improved with medication or surgery.
In short, as we age, the human body undergoes a series of aging manifestations. These manifestations may include occasional premature heart beats, backache and leg pain, slow walking, increased blood pressure, frequent leg cramps, shortened sleep duration and poor quality, and poor digestive function. When faced with these problems, we need to put them in perspective and take corresponding measures to alleviate symptoms or improve quality of life. If the symptoms are severe or affect the quality of daily life, you also need to seek help from a doctor in time and accept the corresponding ** and management plan.
