Five points for attention in the morning of hypertensive elderly

 Most of the old people have the habit of getting up early. Fresh air in the morning is conducive to the discharge of harmful substances deposited in the respiratory tract at night and promote metabolism. However, due to the degradation of organs in the elderly, if we do not pay attention to health care, getting up early may also be harmful to health. Generally, the elderly should pay attention to five measures to get up early. Especially for the elderly with high blood pressure, we suggest you pay more attention to some points

Get up slowly: do not get up immediately after waking up in the morning, because the intervertebral disc of the elderly is relatively loose. If you suddenly change from lying position to standing position, it is not only easy to sprain your back, but also may affect the nervous system. People with high blood pressure and heart disease may have accidents if they suddenly change their position. When the elderly wake up, they can stretch on the bed, stretch their limbs and joints, lie on the bed and rest for a while before getting out of bed.

Water should be warm: cold water face washing has a strong stimulation to the facial skin of the elderly. In addition to those who insist on taking a cold bath for many years and have a healthy constitution, it is better for the elderly not to wash cold water. The water temperature of face washing should be controlled at about 10-15 ℃, not too hot or too cold. The direction of the towel is best from back to front, from bottom to top. In this way, washing the face in accordance with the direction of blood flow is conducive to promoting blood circulation and delaying facial skin aging. After washing the face, wipe the face with palms of both hands until the face is hot. It can also improve blood circulation and prevent colds.

Clothing should be warm: the clothing of the elderly should be added or reduced in time according to climate change. Due to the reduced ability of the elderly to defend against diseases, they are susceptible to wind and cold when they get up early, so it is better to wear warm clothes. When you get up in summer, open the window immediately to make the air circulate. But in winter, you should get up after a while, let the body adapt to the outdoor temperature and then open the window, so as to avoid catching cold after being blown by the wind and affecting your health.

Exercise should be appropriate: after getting up early, the amount of activity should not be too large and the time should not be too long. Taijiquan, qigong, jogging, unarmed exercise and other soft and slow activities are most suitable for the elderly to get up early. Activities should be a little faster heartbeat, a little shortness of breath for the degree, must not be able to show off. Avoid excessive movement that is fast, rotating or lowering your head. For the elderly with emphysema, arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, diabetes and other diseases, it is better to take a walk, and it is not suitable to walk too far away from home to avoid accidents.

Tea should be light: some old people like to get up early and drink a cup of strong tea slowly. This habit is actually not good for their health. In the morning, the stomach is basically empty. Drinking strong tea on an empty stomach will not only cause gastrointestinal discomfort, loss of appetite, but also damage the normal function of the nervous system. Therefore, it is generally not suitable to drink strong tea in the morning. When the old people drink tea in the morning, they can pour the first course of tea and drink the second course of tea. If you can add a little sugar and the right amount of white chrysanthemum in the tea, it will be better. Hypertension elderly can get up in the morning to drink water
