Lao Xiang, a 70-year-old man, the first thing he does when he gets up every morning is to go out to exercise, on this day, Lao Xiang goes out to exercise as usual, but in the process of exercising, he suddenly feels dizzy and headache, Lao Xiang sat down to rest, thinking that the symptoms can be relieved, but as time goes by, Lao Xiang finds that the discomfort symptoms are getting more and more serious, and what's worse is that Lao Xiang also has a movement disorder on the right side of his limbs.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Lao Xiang hurriedly dialed 120 for help, and fifteen minutes later, Lao Xiang was sent to the hospital, and through examination, it was soon clear that he had a cerebral infarction.
When he arrived at the hospital, the doctor measured Lao Xiang's blood pressure as high as 180/110mmHg, in fact, as early as 10 years ago, Lao Xiang was diagnosed with high blood pressure, but his blood pressure was not well controlled.
A 70-year-old man, not only blood pressure is not well controlled, but worse, the first thing he does in the morning is to go out to exercise, morning belongs to a special time period, this time period sympathetic nerve excitement, blood pressure rises, heart rate increases, if the usual blood pressure is not well controlled, but also in this time period to exercise, the direct consequence is that blood pressure soars further, then the risk of cerebrovascular accident is naturally higher.
The doctor reminded that although life lies in exercise, the elderly over 70 years old would rather sit without exercise than exercise at 4 times.
First, people over the age of 70 should not exercise immediately after waking up in the morning
Although the plan of the day lies in the morning, for the elderly, the action of waking up in the morning should be slower, and the elderly should keep in mind that speed is not enough.
The reason why this is said is because many elderly people are suffering from hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, stroke and other underlying diseases, when they get up in the morning, the sympathetic nerve is excited, and the human body will usher in the first peak stage of blood pressure.
For the elderly, since the morning is a little slower, it is not suitable for exercising immediately after getting up in the morning, after getting up in the morning, the most important thing for the elderly to do is to take medicine first, especially antihypertensive drugs, must be taken at the first time, in order to cope with the peak of blood pressure, and then brush their teeth and rinse their mouths, eat breakfast, and about an hour after breakfast, the elderly can consider exercising, but it is best to do low-intensity exercise, which is not suitable for strenuous exercise.
Second, people over the age of 70 should not exercise outdoors when the temperature plummets
In the four seasons of the year, the saddest season for the elderly is winter, in winter, due to the drop in temperature, under the stimulation of cold, the blood vessels of the elderly are easy to constrict, blood pressure is easy to soar, and the risk of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents is easy to increase.
In addition, the temperature drops in winter, and if the elderly do not pay attention to keeping warm, they are easy to catch a cold and have upper respiratory tract infections, and if they are not well controlled, the upper respiratory tract infections will spread further, and it will also lead to more serious pneumonia.
As a doctor, I would like to remind everyone that the elderly should try not to do outdoor sports when the temperature plummets to avoid danger.
Third, the elderly over 70 years old should not exercise immediately after eating
Many elderly people have the habit of going out to exercise immediately after eating, they think that only in this way can they promote the digestion of food and the absorption of nutrients by the stomach and intestines, but they don't know that this is very wrong.
After eating, a large amount of food accumulates in the stomach, and it takes 4-6 hours for the stomach to empty, which is not as fast as everyone thinks, and it is impossible for the food to go down immediately after eating.
Exercising immediately after eating can easily lead to an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, which not only does not promote the digestion of food, but also leads to food reflux.
In addition, after eating, a large amount of blood rushes to the stomach and intestines, the purpose is to help the stomach and intestines to digest food, when exercising, the limbs take away a part of the blood flow, the direct consequence is that the blood flow of the stomach and intestines is further reduced, which can easily cause indigestion.
Fourth, the elderly over 70 years old should not exercise before going to bed
When you decide to sleep, don't go to exercise anymore, the interval between exercise and sleep, at least two hours apart, because when exercising, the sympathetic nerve will become very excited, at this time blood pressure is easy to rise, heart rate is easy to increase, the brain will become abnormally active, go to sleep immediately after exercise, how do you sleep? How can sleep quality be good?
