According to Chinese medicine, the autumn yang qi by rising and floating gradually tends to sink, physiological function tends to calm, yang qi gradually decline, the climate is gradually turning cooler, is easy to develop the elderly season. Beware of autumn dryness triggered by old diseases Due to the influence of “autumn dryness”, autumn is particularly prone to respiratory diseases, such as bronchitis, bronchial asthma, rhinitis, etc., for the immune system of the elderly is even more so. To cope with autumn dryness, some suitable methods can be used to moisten the dryness, such as using dendrobium to make soup. Most of the old people have old diseases, some of the disease itself is not related to the season, such as gastric disease, blood pressure or blood sugar and so on, usually the condition control is not bad, but it is very likely that in the summer and fall transition time because of the autumn dryness, colds and other small problems caused by the attack of the old disease. Therefore, we must pay attention to the prevention of colds, bronchitis and other “minor diseases” in the fall. Avoid blind tonic Autumn is a tonic season, many old people at this time “stick autumn fat”. Now there are a lot of popularized articles on health and wellness in the society, however, some of the ideas are not suitable for all the elderly. Elderly people should take tonic and dietary therapy according to their own specific conditions. In the health care must communicate with the doctor, do not make up your own mind, blindly into the supplement. A lot of supplements, especially Chinese medicine supplements are very concerned about the body’s heat and cold, must be clear before taking, otherwise it will cause damage to the body. It is very important to have a regular routine The most important thing during the season is to maintain good habits. It is best not to break the original, already formed habits, stable life routine.

On the other hand, before and after the tour and during the tour of the life routine suddenly changed, and the ability of the elderly to adapt to the poor, travel back, either high blood pressure, or the heart feels uncomfortable, had to go to the hospital to see a doctor. In addition, the elderly should also pay attention to peace of mind, not too happy and worried, to avoid emotional ups and downs, emotional fluctuations are not conducive to health.

Elderly people with diabetes, stimulated by the autumn cold, often complicate vascular neuropathy, manifested as numbness, pain in the hands and feet, and in severe cases can be manifested as gangrene. Autumn characteristics of health by less baths in autumn, the elderly should not take too many baths, avoid using alkaline soap, so as not to cause itching due to dry skin. The temperature difference between day and night is big in fall, and bathing is more likely to cause colds and other symptoms. A lot of older people are used to sleeping with their heads covered and wrapped tightly in blankets.
