1. Proper exercise promotes blood circulation. Keeping a fixed posture for a long time will cause poor blood circulation, paralysis of nerve endings and numbness of hands and feet. As long as you move your hands and feet in time, you can return to normal in a short time. When the elderly have numbness of hands and feet, they can exercise properly, exercise their bodies, speed up blood flow and promote blood circulation, which can effectively help the elderly to relieve numbness of hands and feet.

2. Appropriate vitamin B supplementation. Long-term gastrointestinal dysfunction and reduced food intake will lead to the lack of adequate protein and vitamins. In particular, the lack of B vitamins will lead to the obstruction of nutrient metabolism, slow nerve conduction, peripheral neuritis and radiculopathy, and numbness of hands and feet. Therefore, the elderly should be properly supplemented with vitamin B to improve the body's metabolic function and relieve numbness in hands and feet.

3. Pay attention to the side effects of drugs. If the elderly suffer from multiple diseases, they will definitely take multiple drugs at the same time. Among them, sulfonamides, furazolidone, furazolidone, ofloxacin and other antibacterial drugs, remifentanil, ethambutol and other anti-tuberculosis drugs, vinpocetine and other chemotherapy drugs may induce neuritis and limb numbness if the dosage is too large or the medication time is too long. This kind of numbness usually starts from hands and feet, and then gradually spreads upward, and is often accompanied by hypersensitivity or abnormal sensation, so the dosage of such drugs should be strictly controlled.

4. Seek medical attention in time to find out the reason. According to the statistics of the World Arthralgia Research Association, China, India and some Central European countries are the countries with the most severe paralysis of patients with numbness of hands and feet. According to the statistics of China Arthralgia Research Association, 83% of the tens of millions of paralyzed patients in China are paralyzed by diseases, and all of them have numbness of hands and feet. Middle-aged people have numbness in their hands and feet, with 22% paralyzed before the age of 60 and 74% paralyzed between the ages of 60 and 74. The old man's hands and feet are numb and 86% are paralyzed. Therefore, when the family finds that the old man has hands and feet, it is best to take the old man to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the illness.

5. Keep warm. The human body is very sensitive to temperature. In the cold state beyond the sensitivity of human body, the sensory nerves of hands and feet are disordered, which is characterized by numbness and unconscious symptoms of hands and feet. Freezing for too long will lead to permanent necrosis of the tissue in this area. The elderly are getting worse and worse, and their perception of cold and warm is lower than that of normal adults. In cold weather, they should pay more attention to keep warm to avoid getting sick.
