Pay attention to the six misunderstandings about men’s health care

　　Misunderstanding 1: You should take more supplements after the beginning of autumn

　　As the saying goes: "A summer without illness means three points of deficiency." As soon as the Beginning of Autumn arrives, many elderly Busy with "autumn mending". It is unscientific to think that "take more tonics to treat illnesses and strengthen the body without illness". Especially the elderly with high blood pressure and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases must not take wild ginseng, white ginseng, etc. to avoid danger. Patients with high blood pressure should also avoid taking Chinese medicines that can raise blood pressure, such as Acanthopanax and Aconite. In fact, the best "tonic" is to ensure normal diet and nutrition and form good living habits.

　　Misunderstanding 2: Lie down immediately when angina pectoris occurs

　　An old man is running or doing sports outdoors. Suddenly his face turns pale and he breaks into a cold sweat. You suspect that he is having an angina pectoris attack. You must not let him lie down at this time. Instead, you should immediately ask him to squat down or help him sit on a chair. If you let him lie down immediately, not only will it not reduce the burden on the heart, but it will worsen myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. Otherwise, the person will suffer from myocardial infarction or even death.

　　Myth 3: Walk a hundred steps after a meal and live to ninety-nine

　　Taking a walk after a meal can promote the body's absorption of nutrients and at the same time increase physical exertion. However, not everyone is suitable for taking a walk after a meal. for example coronary heart disease For patients, the heartbeat will accelerate when eating. Just after eating, the blood pressure and blood lipids will increase to varying degrees. If you go for a walk at this time, the workload of the heart, which is already insufficient for blood supply, will increase. Suddenly, the myocardium will become hypoxic. In mild cases, it can induce angina pectoris, and in severe cases, it can cause myocardial infarction. Therefore, for patients with high blood pressure and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, "walk a hundred steps after a meal to live to ninety-nine" should be changed to "to live to ninety-nine, do not walk after a meal. If you want to digest food, rest for half an hour." ”

　　Myth 4: Wearing a mask to protect your respiratory tract

　　The weather is getting colder, and there are many patients with respiratory infections. Some elderly people think that the cold air hurts their lungs, so they often wear a large mask when going out. In fact, the human nasal cavity and the entire respiratory tract are covered with mucosa, and there are capillaries underneath it. When the cold air reaches the lung tissue through the nasal cavity, it has been preheated and warmed by a series of cavities, and is close to the body temperature, so it should not cause great irritation to the respiratory tract. Therefore, wearing a mask can only protect the cheeks to a certain extent.

　　Myth 5: Early morning is the best exercise time

　　For patients with hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, early morning is the most dangerous time. clinical Medical science shows that the probability of a heart attack is three times higher at 9 a.m. than at 1 p.m. For patients with coronary heart disease and hypertension, exercising in the morning is not only difficult to guarantee the fitness effect, but may even cause harm. healthy . According to the body's biological clock rhythm, the best time for the elderly to exercise is after 12 noon and around dusk.

　　Misunderstanding 6: Practice in the winter and practice in the summer

　　Participating in sports in winter can enhance the body's disease resistance, but we must also pay attention to the impact of cold on people. Especially for patients with high blood pressure and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the cold makes the whole body skin The capillaries in the body contract, blood circulation resistance increases, blood pressure is higher, and the heart burden becomes heavier, which is very dangerous. The temperature in summer is high, and if you continue to do physical exercise, it will also increase the burden on your heart. The elderly and patients with hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases still need to act within their capabilities.
