Spring is the season when everything grows, the weather turns from cold to warm, and various organisms in nature sprout and show vigorous vitality. At this time, human metabolism is not yet able to adapt to the speed of climate change, plus the humidity gradually increases in spring, and the warm climate and certain humidity create conditions for the growth of bacteria and viruses in the respiratory tract, so that colds, influenza, influenza, pneumonia, acute bronchitis, viral hepatitis and other diseases are often prone to occur. Bronchial asthma, which is an allergic disease, also has a high incidence in spring. For the elderly, the climate is cold and warm at the first time, which can easily cause the recurrence of old diseases, especially around the spring equinox, the elderly are most likely to have migraine, stomachache, chronic pharyngitis, allergic asthma, hypertension, coronary heart disease, mental illness, etc. Therefore, the health care of the elderly in spring should be based on the characteristics of the spring qi growth and expansion, and the promotion of spring yang qi to ensure the normal metabolism of the human body. The spring health care for the elderly must remember the “five words”: cover There is a Chinese health care proverb “spring covers the autumn freeze”. The “spring cover” is to say that the early spring season, the climate is in the seasonal change, early spring temperatures are warm and cold, cold and hot, such as thin clothing, warmth measures are not conducive to cold disease. Especially for the elderly, various physiological functions are reduced, the ability to adapt to climate change is poor, intentionally “spring cover” is particularly important. Therefore, the elderly should not take off their cotton clothes too early, but should be properly “covered” for a period of time, so that the body has a positive adaptive adjustment to the change of heat and cold. This can prevent cold and flu, thus eliminating the risk of pneumonia, emphysema and pulmonary heart disease. The elderly with high blood pressure and heart disease should pay more attention to cold and warmth to prevent the occurrence of stroke and myocardial infarction. In spring, it is advisable to sleep late and get up early, go outdoors and do more activities to stretch the body and make the day more energetic. However, it is worth reminding that due to the degeneration of the organs of the elderly, do not get up immediately after waking up in the morning, because the ligamentous tissues of the elderly are more relaxed, if the sudden change from lying to standing position, it is not only easy to sprain the back, but also may affect the nervous system. People with high blood pressure and heart disease may also have accidents if they suddenly change their position. After waking up, the elderly can stretch in bed, stretch the joints of the limbs, lie in bed and rest for a while before getting out of bed. The air is fresh in spring, and this environment is most conducive to exhaling and nourishing the internal organs. More exercise in spring, will enhance immunity and disease resistance, less influenza and other diseases throughout the year, and people think fast, not easy to fatigue. People can choose outdoor activities according to their age and physical condition, the amount of exercise should not be too much, so as not to sweat profusely and hurt Yang Qi, in order to exercise after the energy, body relaxed, comfortable as degree. Generally, you can choose simple and easy activities, such as tai chi, walking, jogging, trekking and kite flying. The spring tour can improve the body’s metabolism, enhance blood circulation and cardiopulmonary function, and make the legs stronger and the muscles and bones more flexible, and also improve sleep, and can consume excess energy and “lose weight”. In the spring, in the flowers and plants, can make people happy mood, gas and smooth. Some flowers give off an aromatic smell, can play a brain, spleen, appetite and other fitness and longevity. Comb “health theory” said: “spring in March, every morning comb one or two hundred.” Modern research shows that frequent combing can strengthen the friction of the head, unblocking the blood vessels, so that the hair is nourished, black and shiny, firm hair roots, prevent hair loss; can clear the ears and eyes, relieve headaches, prevent colds; can promote the blood supply to the brain and brain nerves, help reduce blood pressure, prevent the occurrence of cerebral hemorrhage and other diseases; can strengthen the brain and refresh the mind, relieve fatigue and delay brain aging. Food As the human metabolism accelerates in spring, nutritional consumption increases accordingly, the diet should be sweet and warm, rich in nutrients, to strengthen the spleen and support Yang as the principle of food, avoid too sour and astringent, should be light and tasty, avoid greasy and cold, especially should not be more into the big pungent and hot products, such as ginseng, strong wine, etc., so as not to help heat and fire, should be used more both ascending and nutritious products. Because of the cold stimulation can make the body of the protein decomposition accelerated, resulting in the body resistance to reduce the disease. Therefore, also supplement high-quality protein food, such as eggs, fish, shrimp, beef, chicken, rabbit meat and soybean products, etc.; at the same time take enough vitamins and inorganic salts. Fresh vegetables such as cabbage, rape, persimmon pepper, tomatoes and fruits such as citrus and lemon, rich in vitamin C, have anti-viral effects; carrots, amaranth and other yellow-green vegetables, rich in vitamin A, have the function of protecting and strengthening the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract and the epithelial cells of respiratory organs, which can resist various disease-causing factors; foods rich in vitamin E should also be consumed to improve the body’s immune function and enhance Foods rich in vitamin E should also be consumed to improve the body’s immune function and enhance the body’s ability to resist disease, such as sesame, green cabbage, cauliflower, etc. The elderly should pay attention to eat less indigestible food and cold food to avoid stimulating the stomach and intestines to cause disease. Prevent Spring to pay attention to the prevention of various diseases. Because spring is still warm and cold, the climate is changeable, bacteria and viruses are easy to reproduce and spread, prone to influenza, pneumonia, bronchitis, rhinoceros, scarlet fever, mumps and viral myocarditis and other diseases. Therefore, it is important to be hygienic, wash and dry clothes and blankets, remove insect pests, open windows and ventilation, and improve disease prevention. Spring is the season for respiratory infections, and the elderly are susceptible to infections because of their poor immunity. During the disease epidemic, elderly people should not frequent shopping malls, theaters and other crowded public places. Spring is the season of high incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. This is because the spring temperature is unstable, often invaded by cold waves, and the barometric pressure changes a lot. In the process of each temperature change, it can cause the human blood vessels to contract violently, so that the plaques attached to the walls of the blood vessels fall off, and the plaques flow with the blood to the narrow places will easily block the blood vessels and occur cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, the elderly must strengthen the prevention of disease, health care at the same time to strengthen the treatment of their own diseases.
