Spring Festival is coming soon, which is the grandest traditional festival in China. Everyone rejoices during the Spring Festival, the festival of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. However, the Spring Festival for the elderly is different in many ways. Older people should pay special attention to their physical and mental health during the Spring Festival, as the health of the elderly is the greatest happiness of their families. In order to all the elderly can be safe over the Spring Festival, is now offering six “brocade bag of wisdom”: 1, peace of mind, should not be overworked The Spring Festival is China’s grandest traditional festival, the elderly during the festival is often very tired. Cooking food, purchasing, handling children and grandchildren to wear, decorate and beautify the room, ushered in, etc., often get exhausted. If they suffer from chronic diseases, they are very prone to accidents. Therefore, the elderly should try to let the young people to manage the festival, they may wish to be a consultant or simply when a “shopkeeper”. 2, dietary moderation, to prevent delicious add disease children home for New Year’s Eve, the old man must have prepared a good wine and food. Look at the children eat happy, the elderly also have a big appetite, eat and drink more than usual. However, the elderly must understand that the digestive function of the elderly decline, eat too much is easy to cause indigestion and even acute gastroenteritis and other diseases. In addition, the elderly liver detoxification function is poor, weak tolerance, drinking a little too much alcohol that is easy to drunk; and, the elderly gastric mucosa atrophy, stimulated by excessive alcohol easily cause acute gastritis, gastric hemorrhage. Elderly people suffer from hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, drinking too much alcohol, may induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents, therefore, drinking alcohol, but do not overdo it. At this time, appropriate drinking wine, beer, rice wine or low liquor, not only to help cheer, active festive atmosphere, but also can promote the body’s blood circulation, is beneficial to the elderly. Elderly people suffering from chronic cholecystitis and pancreatitis should reduce fat intake, do not eat fatty, spicy and fried food, and strictly abstain from alcohol. Diabetic patients should eat less sugary snacks and drinks, high-sugar, high-fat, high-calorie diet is very easy to cause blood sugar rise. Cardiovascular disease patients to eat a light diet is appropriate, winter is prone to blood circulation disorders, high cholesterol and salty foods to avoid, strong tea, coffee is the most inappropriate for patients with cardiovascular disease. Seafood, meat in the red meat parts and animal offal, etc., easy to lead to high uric acid, plus a few cups of alcohol, easy to induce gout, gout patients should be especially careful. 3, live regularly, to prevent overwork Ancient people have regular living habits as one of the important factors of a long and healthy life. Elderly people generally have their own life rules formed over the years, in the New Year’s period by a certain amount of interference is unavoidable, but can not interfere with rest and sleep. During the Spring Festival, the family reunion, or the New Year’s Eve, or watching TV, or playing cards and having fun, the phenomenon of staying up all night is very common. Elderly people should try to maintain the usual rules of life, the elderly body regulation function decreases, it is not possible to stay up all night with young people, not to mention all-night TV, playing mahjong, that is, the phone to pay tribute to New Year’s Eve can be earlier, do not have to wait until after midnight. Especially with high blood pressure and coronary heart disease of the elderly, pay more attention to avoid overwork induced a variety of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Remind the elderly friends, while enjoying the festivities try not to disrupt the normal routine. 4, seven degrees of emotion, to prevent cardiovascular disease Ancient people have long been aware of the relationship between human emotions and health, that the method of health tens of thousands, but “the first to raise the spirit”. Chinese medicine will be happy, angry, worried, thinking, sad, fear, shock formally listed as the internal cause of disease. Think “joy and anger, over the harm”. Spring Festival, loved ones reunion, especially the elderly to see grandchildren, grandchildren of these generations, will naturally be very happy, not too excited. Emotional excitement, sympathetic excitation caused by rapid heartbeat, accelerated blood flow, blood pressure will rise, easy to induce cerebral hemorrhage, angina pectoris, and in severe cases will lead to myocardial infarction. Elderly people generally poor vascular elasticity, blood vessel wall atherosclerosis is more serious, lumen narrowing, some also combined with hypertension, encountered external stimuli, such as overly excited, angry, fatigue or cold climate, etc., may cause vasoconstriction disorders, so the elderly, especially with cardio-cerebral vascular disease patients over the holiday season must be happy to have a degree of anger, pay attention to controlling their own moods, don’t be over-excited, don’t Do not stay up all night, do not participate in stimulating activities such as playing mahjong, in order to avoid danger. 5, on-time medication, prevention and treatment of chronic diseases aggravation of the elderly mostly suffer from hypertension, heart disease, cerebral atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia and other chronic diseases, diseases do not distinguish between years and occasions, so the elderly daily medication must be taken on time and in accordance with the dosage, do not stop taking medication on their own because of the “self-feeling good”, which may cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. 6, reduce the outing, travel to be cautious During the Spring Festival is often first warm and cold, but also influenza, pneumonia and other diseases of the season. Older people who go out to travel in the Spring Festival, be sure to do a good job of preparation, otherwise it is very likely to have a good time. As the saying goes, seventy (years old) do not stay overnight, eighty (years old) do not stay meals, the elderly traveling should be cautious. At the same time should also pay attention to the following points: before traveling should do a health checkup, a comprehensive grasp of their own physical condition, with the consent of the doctor before going; travel must be a combination of work and rest, a day of arranged activities should not be too much, can not “fatigue tour”; go out in addition to carrying the usual medicines, there are people with geriatrics will have to be taken on time and in accordance with the amount of medication, but also will tell the tour guide, so that the tour guide should be careful. Will also tell the guide, so that the guide has a clear idea. Spring Festival is the peak season of tourism, the climate is changing, the elderly should prevent colds, so as not to cause other diseases, do not reduce clothing when traveling, it is best to bring rain gear. During the trip, the diet should be light, eat less instant noodles and more vegetables and fruits. In short, the elderly should treat the Chinese New Year with a calm mind, eat and drink, live regularly, seven emotions have degrees, take medication on time, and reduce the number of outings. The elderly over the Spring Festival to ensure their own peace and health, which is not only their own happiness, but also the family’s greatest happiness.
