What should the elderly pay attention to during the Double Ninth Festival in 2020?
The Double Ninth Festival is on September 9th, and we are gradually entering deep autumn. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that in autumn, the yang energy gradually tends to settle, physiological functions tend to calm down, the yang energy gradually declines, and the climate gradually turns cooler. This is the season when the elderly are prone to illness. The ninth month of the lunar calendar is a golden season, with plump rice and red persimmons. Shuimoxiansheng.com’s 2020 ninth month of the lunar calendar special topic will take you to harvest the beauty.

Cause old illness

Due to the influence of "autumn dryness" weather, autumn is a high incidence season for respiratory diseases, such as bronchitis, bronchial asthma, rhinitis and other diseases, especially for the elderly with low immunity.
Most elderly people have old diseases. Although some diseases have little to do with the season, such as stomach problems and high blood pressure, the conditions are usually well controlled. However, they may cause relapses of old diseases during the transition from summer to autumn due to minor problems such as autumn dryness and colds.
Therefore, in autumn, we must pay attention to preventing "minor illnesses" such as colds and bronchitis.

Blind supplementation

Autumn is a time for nourishing the body, and many elderly people "put on weight" at this time. There are many popular science articles on health and wellness in society today, but some views are not suitable for all elderly people. The elderly must take supplements and diet therapy according to their own specific conditions.
When it comes to health care, you must communicate more with your doctor and don't act on your own or take supplements blindly. Many supplements, especially Chinese herbal supplements, are very particular about the cold or hot constitution. You must find this out before taking them, otherwise it will cause damage to your body.

Daily life

The most important thing during the change of seasons is to maintain good living habits. It is best not to disrupt the original, habitual, and stable life routine. Many elderly people experience physical discomfort after traveling. This is because traveling makes the elderly feel tired, and they cannot eat or sleep well.
On the other hand, the daily routine suddenly changes before, during and after traveling, and the elderly have poor adaptability. After returning from the trip, they either have high blood pressure or feel uncomfortable in the heart, so they have to go to the hospital to see a doctor.
In addition, the elderly should also pay attention to keeping a calm mind, not being too happy or too sad, and avoiding big ups and downs in emotions. Emotional fluctuations are not conducive to health preservation.

Not suitable for autumn cold

①. When elderly people with cerebrovascular diseases are stimulated by cold, their sympathetic nerves become excited, capillaries throughout the body contract, peripheral resistance of blood circulation increases, and blood pressure rises, which can easily lead to stroke.
②. Elderly people with cardiovascular diseases will suffer from ischemia and hypoxia of the already diseased heart when exposed to cold, which will lead to more serious myocardial infarction.
③. Elderly people with rheumatoid arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis are susceptible to wind, cold and dampness in autumn, and often experience leg pain, heaviness, or swelling, difficulty walking and other symptoms.

Special health care

Elderly people should not take too many baths in autumn and should avoid using alkaline soap to prevent itching due to dry skin. The temperature difference between day and night is large in autumn, and taking a bath is more likely to cause symptoms such as colds.

Dietary precautions

Avoid salty and greasy food to prevent high blood pressure, heart disease and kidney disease;
Avoid partial or picky eating - maintaining a balanced nutrition is conducive to longevity;
Avoid overeating to prevent myocardial infarction;
Avoid excessive cooling to avoid affecting digestion function;
Avoid fatty, sweet and greasy foods - mainly to prevent hyperlipidemia, diabetes, gout, gallstones, pancreatitis, etc.
