The grandpas and grandmas doing morning exercises in the park are too "curious"! Huaxi doctors: stick to scientific exercise, and remember...

Who said there is no more Jianghu after Jin Yong?

The morning exercises of the grandpa and the grandma are a martial arts competition

After all, Grandpa Zhang in the community relies on this "death pendulum"

Captured the heart of Aunt Li next door

Brother Liu from Unit 3 knew about this.

I can't sit still now.

He also showed off his magical skills

Every step is like walking on a catwalk, with a steady posture and good posture

Indeed, the elderly are the most active in exercising every day.

They have plenty of time to go walking, fishing, and square dancing.

80% of the elderly in People's Park are exercising

The remaining 20% ​​are in the dating corner (those who understand will understand)

Even so, there are still many

Health problems caused by aging are still unavoidable

No one stays young forever, and no one stays old forever

Especially in today’s aging age

“Geriatrics” has become a hot topic

Geriatric medicine is both a branch of gerontology and an integral part of medical science; it not only studies geriatric diseases, but also involves basic theoretical research on human aging and research on geriatric medicine education, and conducts various experiments and medical work to improve the quality of human life and achieve "aging without decline".

We must accept aging calmly and face it correctly

The goal is to increase healthy life expectancy and improve quality of life

To better pay attention to the risks behind chronic diseases and coexistence of multiple diseases among the elderly

"Geriatrics" summary introduces a new concept

Geriatric syndrome is a group of specific symptoms and common problems that occur in the elderly population and can affect the prognosis and mortality of elderly patients; health problems caused by multiple diseases or multiple reasons, the site of onset cannot be determined, and it cannot be summarized by a traditional disease name. It requires multi-faceted evaluation to solve.

1Incidence and prevalence increase with age

2. There are multiple causes behind every syndrome (problem)

For example, when it comes to the most common problem of falls among the elderly, people tend to focus their attention on the caregivers: "Why didn't you watch him carefully?" "Would he have fallen if you were watching over him?" But behind this, there are actually many reasons for falls: cognitive impairment, heart rhythm disorders, malnutrition, chronic pain, mood disorders, sleep deprivation, sarcopenia, frailty syndrome, etc.

Many elderly people only pay attention to the drug treatment of diseases, but ignore the comprehensive health problems of the elderly. Chronic diseases of the elderly cannot be cured and will accompany us throughout our lives, but these geriatric syndrome health problems will affect our quality of life and life expectancy at any time. They cannot be solved by drugs and require evaluation by geriatricians and the use of a variety of non-drug methods for management in the early stages.

Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment Diagnosis

It is different from the traditional medical evaluation centered on "disease"

It takes "people" as the center and provides comprehensive management for the elderly.

Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is one of the core technologies of modern geriatric medicine and an effective means of screening for geriatric syndromes:

It refers to the use of a multidisciplinary approach to assess the physical condition, functional status, mental health, and social environment of the elderly, and based on this, formulate an integrated care plan aimed at maintaining and improving the health and functional status of the elderly, so as to maximize the quality of life of the elderly.

Especially when facing some incurable diseases

The extensive use of drugs to control the disease is actually not very effective.

How to better maintain the function of the body

The key to a healthy and long life for the elderly

Exercise is medicine

It can prevent diseases and can also be used to treat diseases

In the prevention and control of many chronic diseases

Exercise is an indispensable factor in maintaining health

As limbs age and functions decline, the amount of activity of the elderly will become less and less; encouraging the elderly to do some aerobic training, balance training, resistance training, etc. can reduce the incidence of many chronic diseases and improve some physical functions of the elderly.

For example, walking is known as “the best exercise in the world”!

The World Health Organization conducted a 4.2-year prospective study on 1,645 elderly people (aged > 65 years old) and found that compared with those who walked less than 1 hour a week, walking 4 hours a week can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease by 69% and the mortality rate by 73%.

This is in stark contrast to young people losing weight through exercise.

Elderly people should exercise, but they must not lose weight

Don’t buy the popular “low sugar, low salt, low fat”

The prerequisite for eating well is to eat enough

First, ensure adequate calorie intake

As the old saying goes, "being able to eat is a blessing", so if you are not affected by other diseases, there is no need to restrict your eating habits;

Second, ensure adequate protein intake

Maintain a daily protein intake of 1-1.2g per kilogram of food , and eat three meals in a balanced manner. 50% of the protein should come from high-quality protein (milk, eggs, yogurt, lean meat, fish, etc.). Animal protein is easier for the elderly to absorb and digest than plant protein.

Treat exercise as nutrition and diet as exercise

To achieve twice the result with half the effort and slow down the aging process

As the saying goes, "A smile makes you look ten years younger."

Ten years less, maybe you don't know

But there will be fewer health problems.

1 / Research

The British Daily Mail website once published a study that found that there is an alarming correlation between the physical and mental stress of cancer patients and the speed of cancer spread - high stress causes cancer to spread five times faster

2 / Statistical Survey

In the 1980s, a survey of 200 gastric cancer patients in Shanghai found a common point: they all had long-term emotional depression and family disharmony.

3 / Controlled Survey

A randomized controlled study in Beijing showed that 76% of cancer patients had experienced adverse psychological stimulation in their lives, while only 32% of general patients had experienced adverse psychological stimulation.

Bad emotions can affect the treatment effect of patients. Taking breast cancer as an example, bad emotions can increase the secretion of catecholamine hormones, stimulate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in breast cancer cells, lead to tumor angiogenesis, and promote tumor development and drug resistance.

At the same time, bad emotions can reduce the activity of natural killer cells in the human body and increase the secretion level of glucocorticoids, thereby inhibiting the functions of lymphocytes and macrophages, doubly reducing people's immunity.

Facing aging and illness correctly and positively

Maintain healthy living habits, chat more, and take more walks

No matter how old you are, you can still live beautifully
