Love Valley, elderly health care are most afraid of five words
April 30, 2011
Some people say, the elderly as a setting sun, can still emitting heat. however, there is such a brilliant premise, namely, to avoid risks as much as possible, so that both physical and psychological in the best condition. many experts on this for the elderly They summed up the anti-5 will be the word to be reminded.
throw: 1/3 of the elderly people went overboard
may slow disease you are sick, or your body still in good health, but whether in the case, are prone to fall risk factors for the elderly and disabled. Statistics show that 65 m80 years old and over 80 years old population, the probability of falling each year were as high as 30% and 50%; Canada for a medical service center 2009 data also show that every 3 year old in there who has stumbled, fell more than half of them have a and nearly half of people are injured due to falls, fracture risk is high.
Institute of Geriatrics, Ministry of Health Professor Gao Fangkun said: “To avoid this risk, at least two ways to proceed.” One is to add calcium and collagen substances to build muscle and bone, prevention of osteoporosis. such as , apart from the drink milk, the elderly, especially women, can add some Monopoly old household items calcium.
Second, pay attention to the elderly
room layout and arrangement of the room facilities, removal of all unsafe house. the ground to slip, the channel should be no obstructions, remove all debris. furniture to be fixed properly commonly used items should be placed in easy reach. the best in the bathroom or channel suitable for the elderly at the installation of handrails. furniture height, bed height, and try to facilitate the appropriate placement for the elderly, such as: the table should be higher than for younger people The slightly more, to 70 – 75 cm is appropriate; the elderly is best to put a bedside lamp; aisle leading to the bathroom light is installed; prepare a flashlight in bed, there are emergency functions. In addition, a pair of Genjiao, the soft non-slip shoes are for the elderly to help the best choice.
block: fear of blocking the stomach, the heart even more afraid of blocking
suck traffic is blocked, people blocked, is seriously ill the. for the elderly, the one least able to block the digestive tract, the second is the heart.
in the human body, is undoubtedly the most likely blocking the digestive tract, Kun Gao Fang pointed out that the digestive function has been declining for the elderly, Love Valley, sticky, glutinous food is the biggest bogey. Most of the elderly poor teeth, mouth and heavy , soft, sticky, sweet rice dumplings, on job bible cake, glutinous rice dumplings like these features specifically designed for the elderly. But These food “imported easily digested difficult”, ranging from upset stomach, while in the occurrence of gastric bleeding, and even intestinal obstruction. especially the dinner, the elderly better not to eat glutinous sticky foods, usually when you should eat in moderation. Of course, an important indicator of gastrointestinal smooth to eliminate constipation, for the elderly to be properly eat crude fiber foods, drink plenty of water, usually doing the Roufu parade, dinner, do not overeat, meal rest for 15 minutes to half an hour and then go out.
channel will block not only the body, the heart will be blocked, elderly block the heart, more trouble. Beijing Anding Hospital, said psychologist Dr West handsome, either because of feelings of unhappiness and rage, or secretly sulking, all of good for health. particularly the elderly loneliness, low self-esteem and other negative emotions more so tired body with emotional problems are more prominent.
West handsome proposals in order to avoid negative emotions the elderly, children remember more being, the elderly must learn to regulate their own: communication problems in a timely manner, the anger strangled in the cradle; there should be timely and appropriate expression of anger, such as a ” Humor temper Law “and learn to self-ridicule. usually take part in community activities, develop hobbies, but also to prevent a bad mood at her door.
independence: not living alone, not alone
Young people usually enjoy comfortable in a room alone, the elderly are most afraid of loneliness in a room alone. This no one spoke, no one to take care of, “go out a lock, the door a lamp” life, with to the dual physical and psychological harm. even the media exposed “elderly people living alone was discovered dead of months,” the news has not fresh.
Institute of Psychology, Psychological Research Center, Old Juan pointed out, the elderly, alone, from all aspects of their ability to recession-induced sense of insecurity. but to reduce the negative emotions, in accordance with the escort theory, they should access to three circles of support, the children have family, friends, neighbors and life can come into contact with other people.
“Now some young people feel that their parents after retirement, no worries about eating and drinking at home, usually there are many fun-loving, had a very smart, One shop, do not need always to take care of their own.” Juan said, in fact, This idea is wrong. A mental health on the national survey, for the widowed elderly, family care is the most important; and for the old couple who, thanks to the families of the most basic care for each other , the support of friends was relatively prominent. But in any case, an old friend can replace the care between family members.
Therefore, in addition to the elderly should have the sense of contact with society, the young but also to “Huijia see.” Juan said, watching the old people, buy some presents no problem, but do not turn it into a form “Usually a friend and always want to attach a gift card it, how can the elderly dry send out?” out gifts at the same time, do not forget the conversation, talk about past events, so that the elderly then recalled their able-bodied, prime the state, which help them recover for the self-confidence, inspire optimism is very useful.
In addition, the widowed elderly, it is best not to let them alone, if forced to be so, but also to the elderly set in advance to contact family members, relatives, neighbors call the shortcut keys, and asked people around the neighborhood or community property to pay more to visit. Of course, the most important thing is your back as much as possible.
leak: Check medication can not be missed
Zhen Hospital, Capital Medical University Beijing, said of Cardiology, Professor Ma Changsheng, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have ridden most of the problems faced by the elderly. World Health Organization data show that in China each year because of cardiovascular disease deaths 300 million or more, of which leak checks, drug leakage, leakage treatment is the main reason.
“Many people feel that these underlying diseases of the elderly should avoid anger, avoid anxious to prevent high blood pressure, or even lead to sudden death. In fact, thus not particularly high risk of disease, even disease, but also because Blood Pressure Control is not in place already. “MA Chang-sheng that cardiovascular disease prevention is the key to seeking” stability “, that medication can not be missed, monitoring can not be missed, timely adjustment of treatment to follow up the disease can not be missed. just make sure the above premise, even if the occasional angry, anxious and will not result in a return to a particularly serious consequences.
drag: drag into the serious illness of a minor illnesses
It is relatively common in older people, such as pneumonia, a small weight to drag into the cold are common. Gao Fang Kun said, the elderly poor immunity, the body’s adaptability and self-adjustment ability than the poor. so once catch a cold, treatment is not in a timely manner, it is easy to become respiratory tract infections, life-threatening. More trouble is, the elderly being pathogen infection, inflammation, its clinical signs are usually atypical, common mental fatigue, it is difficult to pay attention and attention, adversely affected by illness, the small dragged into the situation more serious disease have occurred.
end, high-Fang Kun proposal, the elderly and their families learn more about the number of geriatric-related knowledge. If the old feeling of whole body limp, weakness, mental fatigue, etc., to physical conditioning in a timely manner, if the initial issuance of a cold, you can take cold granules, drink plenty of water, plenty of rest, eating light more. If, after conditioning, the situation has not improved, but there is also a cough and other symptoms, we should go to hospital for treatment as soon as possible, so as not adversely affected by illness. “autumn and winter and spring and winter the elderly most vulnerable to the disease season, should pay particular attention to health. “
addition to the above mentioned five key words, the old man bogey “fierce” bogey “radical.” Kun Gao Fang pointed out that often, people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease or cervical disease of the elderly, because of a hurry to stand, a sudden change position lead to dizziness and falls, therefore, when the old man got up slowly to ease the work and can not exert oneself too much time.
