The health of the elderly is an important part of the health of the whole population. Under the trend of aging in China's society, whether it is home care or institutional care, family members or caregivers who provide help for the elderly should first understand what aspects should be taken care of for the elderly in order to help the elderly maintain their health. Let's talk about it briefly.

1. Weight: Elderly people should measure their weight once a month. Older people with limited mobility should be measured with the help of a family member or caregiver.

When there is a risk of dehydration, such as high temperature, fever, diarrhea, vomiting,* after infection, hospitalization**, emotional injury,* recent heart attack.

2. When the following conditions occur in nutrition, family members or caregivers should pay special attention to the nutritional status of the elderly and assess whether malnutrition occurs: * When the elderly follow the doctor's advice or decide to diet on their own, * When the elderly eat less than before for more than 3 consecutive days, * When the elderly are partial eaters and eat a large amount of certain foods, such as meat, milk or vegetables.

3. Hydration* Family members or caregivers should always remind the elderly to drink water, and ensure that the elderly drink at least 1 liter of water a day,* If there is a risk of dehydration, such as high temperature, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, drink more water than usual.

4. A decline in the level of activityEach activity means that the elderly are in a state of fatigue or low energy, which is an early manifestation of malnutrition. Therefore, family members or caregivers who provide assistance to the elderly should ensure that the elderly person eats normally on the one hand, and that the recipients of their care are: * physical activity:

Walking, gardening, housework,* Mental activities or hobbies: reading, billiards, chess, etc. * Social interaction.

But nowadays with the fast pace of life, many young people will neglect the elderly at home because they are too busy with work. The elderly are slowly degrading and becoming more and more fragile in all aspects of their bodies, so they need more careful care. So how can we take better care of the elderly?

Pay more attention to these aspects.

First, exercise more.

If there is an old man in the family, the health of the elderly needs to be carefully cared for, and they also need to supplement sufficient nutrition, and they also need the company of their families.

The second point is adequate nutrition.

The gastrointestinal function of the elderly is deteriorating, it is easier to digest poorly, the food they eat is not easy to absorb, and the bones of the elderly are more fragile and need a lot of calcium. If you usually buy a lot of calcium, pills and other supplements, it will not only make the elderly feel like they are taking a lot of medicine, but also may have a bad impact on the stomach and intestines of the elderly. The best way to do this is to drink it for a nutritional supplement.

You can choose some milk powder for the elderly, and choose milk powder with high calcium content, which will help the health of the elderly's bones. It is best to contain prebiotics in milk powder, which can better care for the stomach and reduce the invasion of harmful bacteria. It is best to choose goat milk powder, which is milder and easier to digest and absorb.

It is best to have no coloring, flavor, and sucrose in milk powder. Some elderly people are already obese, so it is best to choose milk powder that will not gain weight after drinking.

The third point is the living environment.

The elderly are more fond of sunlight, and the bedroom of the elderly should be facing the sun, the house is clean and tidy, and the ventilation effect is good. The bed for the elderly should be as wide as possible, and the hardness of the bed should be appropriate. The furniture should be as few edges and corners as possible to prevent the elderly from bumping into it, and the furniture should be fixed and neat to facilitate walking.

The floor should be non-slip, the bathtub should not be too high, and it is better to have handrails. Try to keep the height inside and outside the house the same height to reduce the appearance of steps. The eyesight of the elderly will deteriorate, so the room should be bright enough.
