The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the traditional Chinese festival Double Ninth Festival. Because "nine" sounds the same as "long" and is the largest number in the number, it is endowed with the beautiful meaning of longevity and longevity. Therefore, Double Ninth Festival is also known as Respect for the Elderly Festival. When we were children, our parents accompanied us through one Children's Day after another. Now, as we are in every corner of the city, don't forget to go home and spend time with our aging parents on Double Ninth Festival, chat with them about daily life, and pay more attention to their physical health.
Don't let filial piety become a hidden danger
According to our Chinese tradition, many families will prepare rich food to celebrate. For the elderly, being too rich is not a good thing, as it may cause indigestion and affect gastrointestinal health. Therefore, attention should be paid to diversity and balance in diet, ensuring sufficient intake of nutrients such as protein, vitamins, minerals, etc. At the same time, elderly people should avoid excessive intake of high-fat, high sugar, and high salt foods to avoid increasing their physical burden.
Careful instructions to prevent falls
As people age, their physical functions gradually deteriorate, and falls become a safety hazard that cannot be ignored. As children, we should start with the home environment, such as reducing obstacles, improving room lighting and illumination, installing night lights, and doing anti slip treatment on the ground. At the same time, parents should be reminded to wear appropriate clothing, avoid wearing slippers and long pants, and try to minimize going out in adverse weather conditions. Once a fall occurs, it is important to carefully examine and inquire about the injury. If there are any doubts, please seek medical attention promptly and do not take it lightly.
Regular physical examinations cannot be ignored
Regular physical examinations are an important way to grasp the physical health status, especially for elderly people whose physical functions are gradually declining. They can better help them comprehensively understand their own condition, adjust their living habits in a timely manner, and take scientific maintenance measures. Therefore, we should correct the parents' concept of "no physical examination without illness" and regularly arrange physical examinations for them, making health management a part of life.
The Double Ninth Festival is approaching, and Laiwo Medical reminds you that even if you cannot be with your parents often, you must protect their physical health. May all elderly friends be healthy and live a long life!
