The climate is changeable in spring, so the elderly should pay attention to five things in their daily maintenance to live a stable spring.

The weather in spring is changeable, and it is easy for people to have various discomfort symptoms, especially for the elderly with weak constitution. During the alternation of seasons, we must pay attention to some habits in daily life to avoid getting various diseases.

1. It is easy to get sick when sleeping with wet hair

Many people go to bed after taking a shower at night without waiting for their hair to be completely dry, which is very harmful to their health, especially in summer. It turns out that the human body consumes a lot of energy and it is easy to feel tired. At midnight, the ability to resist disease is very poor. If you wash your hair before going to bed, water will stay on your scalp, which will condense the yang in your head to prevent colds. In the long run, it may also lead to qi stagnation, blood stasis or meridian obstruction.

If you go to sleep in an air-conditioned room immediately after washing your hair and blow your head against cold air, your scalp will be colder and wetter, and you will easily get sick. Even if you sleep in the middle of the night, you will feel a sense of stagflation and numbness in the local scalp, accompanied by faint pain, and you will have a headache the next morning. Over time, it may also lead to a disease called "hyposcalp phlebitis", which brings great hidden dangers to health.

2. It is not suitable to fall asleep after morning exercise

Many elderly people will get up early for morning exercise, and then go home to sleep after exercise. In fact, from the changes of negative ions in the air, the concentration of negative ions in the morning is high and the air is fresh. Getting up early in the morning, running, walking or practicing boxing outdoors is good for your health. Negative ions have a certain therapeutic effect on chronic diseases such as bronchitis, cardiovascular diseases, skin diseases and diabetes. However, some people like to go back to the bedroom to undress and go to bed after morning exercise. They think it will supplement their physical strength and make them energetic. Actually, this is not good. It not only affects the effect of morning exercise, but also is not conducive to health care.

In morning exercise, breathing is accelerated, heart rate is accelerated, and cardiopulmonary function is enhanced, which is beneficial to reduce the occurrence of coronary heart disease, hypertension, emphysema and other diseases. If you fall asleep again at this time, you will catch a cold easily. In addition, the metabolites produced by morning exercises, such as lactic acid, are not easy to eliminate.

3. Stretch your muscles in the morning

After a night's sleep, your body is relaxed and your blood circulation is slow. When you wake up, you always feel dull and weak. When you get up in the morning, stretch your limbs, stretch your waist and abdomen, and exert all your muscles. Combined with deep breathing, you can exhale old breath and accept new breath, promote blood circulation, dredge meridians and joints, and boost your spirit. Therefore, it is recommended to get up early in spring and stretch your waist more.

4. Ensure adequate sleep

Experts suggest that for people who sleep for 7 hours, the normal time to get up early in spring should be 4-6 am; For people who sleep for 8 hours, the normal time to get up early should be 5-7 am to adapt to the natural atmosphere. Of course, "late at night" can't exceed 11 o'clock at the latest. It is easy to get sleepy in spring, and sleep itself is poor. It is easy to feel depressed and cause depression. In depression, it is difficult to make a very direct response to insomnia. Therefore, when people are in a good mood, they should develop good sleep habits and ensure adequate sleep.

5. Get more sunshine

Spring sunshine is a natural "stimulant", which can cheer up the spirit and improve depression. Spring sunshine is also a natural "nutrient". If you get enough sunbathing every day, you can get 9% of the vitamin D you need. Spring sunshine is also a natural "disinfectant", which can kill bacteria on the skin, accelerate blood circulation, promote metabolism, and achieve the functions of soothing the liver and dredging collaterals.

(1) The best time for sunbathing

The best time for sunbathing in spring is from 1 am to 2-3 pm. Among them, from 1 am to 11 am, the air is better, the ultraviolet rays are lower, and the sunshine is warm and soft. At this time, outdoor "sunbathing" is the most suitable, which can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Old people are especially suitable for sunbathing at this time. At this time, women's yoga training can make the sun enter the body through calm and gentle movements, making the body full of vitality and the mind calm and comfortable. Maintain 2-3 minutes of sunshine every day.

(2) Try to keep your skin naked

If you want to bask in the sun, you'd better keep your skin naked. Women who love beauty can apply sunscreen to their faces after being exposed to the sun for a long time. In spring, you only need to avoid the noon when ultraviolet rays are strongest, and you can fully contact the sun in the rest time, so that ultraviolet rays can disinfect your skin and be beneficial to your health.

In addition, you should also pay attention to sun protection. Don't look directly at the sun, but turn your back on the sun. Sunlight is a time to enjoy nature, but it does useless work through the glass sunshine!
