What should the elderly pay attention to in winter morning exercise?

In the morning, blood flow is slow, blood pressure and body temperature are low, and after a night of digestion, the abdomen is empty. Therefore, you should drink some hot drinks before morning exercise, such as milk, egg soup, soybean milk, gruel, etc., to supplement human moisture, increase calories, accelerate blood circulation, and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.

Not "early"

In the morning, the temperature is low, foggy and high, and it is easy to suffer from colds, asthma, "chronic bronchitis" and pulmonary heart disease, which will also aggravate the condition. Therefore, the elderly should go out to exercise after the sun rises, when the air is really fresh.

Should not be "excited"

The elderly have weak physique and poor adaptability, so it is not suitable for strenuous exercise. It is appropriate to do things according to one's ability, step by step and moderately. You can do more low-intensity and soothing exercises, such as walking, jogging, playing Tai Ji Chuan, doing aerobics, sword dancing, etc. Practice has proved that strenuous exercise in the elderly is easy to induce cardiopulmonary diseases, which is not conducive to physical and mental health.

Not suitable for "exposure"

When you exercise outdoors in the morning, you should choose to exercise in sunny, warm and quiet, fresh air or open areas with lawns, don't run against the wind, and don't take off your clothes before exercise to avoid catching a cold.

It shouldn't be "urgent"

That is, don't do unprepared exercise. Because the elderly get up in the morning, their muscles are slack and their joints and ligaments are stiff, they should do warm-up activities before exercise, such as swinging their arms, gently rubbing their bodies, twisting their waists, moving their joints and relaxing their muscles, and then exercise after warming up to prevent accidental injuries caused by haste.

Should not be "fierce"

That is, squat, stand and turn around. Generally speaking, the elderly have different degrees of cerebral arteriosclerosis, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cervical hyperosteogeny and other symptoms, to some extent, insufficient blood supply to the brain. If you suddenly squat, stand or look back, you will have dizziness, tinnitus, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms due to insufficient blood supply to the brain, and even suddenly faint. Therefore, the elderly should exercise slowly and move slowly. Never squat, stand or turn around to avoid accidents.

In addition, the elderly should eat soft, delicious and warm food before morning exercise, such as hot soybean milk, hot milk, snacks, lotus root starch, steamed cakes, porridge, egg cakes, oatmeal, shredded carrots and shredded cabbage, which are both comfortable and nutritious.
