2. Use bean products to replace some animals. Middle-aged and elderly people in protein must limit their meat intake, and some protein sources should be replaced by beans and bean products (such as tofu and soybean milk). In the diet of the elderly, each dinner should contain at least 170g of high-quality protein (such as lean meat, fish, eggs, tofu, etc. Vegetarians should get high-quality protein from beans and nuts (peanuts, walnuts, almonds, cashews, etc.). ).
3. Add vegetables to the staple food and cook together. In order to facilitate the elderly to chew, try to choose soft vegetables, such as tomatoes, loofah, wax gourd, pumpkin, eggplant and tender leaves of green leafy vegetables, and cut them into small pieces or plane them into filaments before cooking. If the elderly usually take porridge or noodle soup as their staple food, they can add 1-2 kinds of vegetables and cook together at a time to ensure that they eat at least 500 grams of vegetables every day.
Eating 350 grams of fruit every day is a food that the elderly often ignore. Some soft fruits, such as bananas, watermelons, peaches, papayas, mangoes and kiwis, are very suitable for the elderly. You can slice the fruit or scrape it into mud with a spoon. If you want to make juice, you must pay attention to controlling the amount. You can add some water to dilute it when making juice.
5. Vitamin B supplementation in recent years has gradually shown that vitamin B is closely related to cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases, cataracts, brain function degradation (cognition and memory) and mental health that are prone to occur in the elderly. No matter getting sick, taking medicine or after surgery, it will cause a lot of loss of vitamin B, so for the sick elderly, special attention should be paid to vitamin B supplementation. Raw grains and nuts are rich in vitamin B, so when preparing three meals for the elderly, you might as well add some brown rice and germ. To cook porridge with white rice, you can also put a small amount of nuts into a blender and break them into powder, and add them to oatmeal to cook oatmeal.
6. Limit the intake of oil. The fat intake of the elderly should be mainly vegetable oil, avoid fat and animal fat (lard, butter), and fry and cook food less. In addition, desserts and cakes are also high in fat, so try not to let the elderly eat such high-fat snacks. Polyunsaturated fats (such as corn oil and sunflower oil) and monounsaturated fats (such as olive oil and peanut oil) should be eaten alternately to obtain a balanced intake of various fatty acids.
7. Add less salt, monosodium glutamate and soy sauce, and make good use of other seasoning methods. Old people who are not sensitive to taste often feel boring when eating. When food comes up, it is easy to ingest too much sodium and bury the hidden danger of high blood pressure. You can make more use of some fragrant vegetables, such as coriander, mushrooms and onions, to scramble eggs or make soup and porridge. The use of white vinegar, fruit vinegar, lemon juice, orange juice or pineapple can also change the taste of food. Some Chinese herbal medicines, such as strong-smelling angelica, cinnamon, spiced, star anise or sweet wolfberry and red dates, replace salt or soy sauce, and their rich taste helps to arouse the appetite of the elderly.
8. Eat less spicy food. Although spicy spices can arouse appetite, eating more of these foods can easily lead to imbalance of water and electrolytes in the body, dry mouth, irritability and poor sleep, so it is advisable to eat less.
9. Add more water during the day. Many old people don't drink much water for a day because they are worried about urinary incontinence or frequent running to the toilet at night. In fact, we should encourage the elderly to drink more boiled water during the day, or make some herbal tea (try not to put sugar) to change their taste, but drink less sugary drinks. Drink less water after meals to avoid going to the toilet at night and affecting sleep.
10. Taking multivitamin supplements once a day is very different among the elderly, so the nutrients that everyone needs to supplement are also very different. It is the most basic and safest way to strengthen nutrition for the elderly to take a variety of vitamin supplements every day, especially vitamin B supplements, antioxidant vitamins C and E, calcium to maintain bones, zinc to enhance immunity, etc. Don't take high-dose single supplements without authorization, especially fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E. If you eat too much, it will accumulate in the body and even cause toxicity.
Among many factors that affect the health and longevity of the elderly, reasonable nutrition is one of the most important factors. Experts put forward the following principles for the healthy diet of the elderly: the diet structure should be vegetarian rather than miscellaneous, mainly vegetarian.
What is the best for the elderly to eat? The metabolism of the elderly is not as good as that of the young, and the digestive ability of the body is declining. Therefore, the elderly should first eat digestible food, and long fiber food is good, such as miscellaneous grains and wheat.
In addition, the elderly should prevent Alzheimer's disease and eat more nuts, such as walnuts, cashews and peanuts.
What should toothless old people eat? After the elderly without teeth, their appetite will generally decrease, but they will be more picky about their diet.
Generally speaking, when cooking for the elderly, we must pay attention to ripeness, and it is best to melt it in the mouth. I like porridge, porridge, scrambled eggs, tofu, etc.
The important thing is that most elderly people are picky about tastes, so we should pay attention to what tastes they like at ordinary times, and it is not bad to cook separately for his tastes when cooking.
What should the elderly eat? Ginseng autonomic nervous disorder is a group of symptoms caused by long-term mental stress, excessive psychological pressure, anger and mental pain.
The reasons are long-term mental stress, excessive psychological pressure, anger and mental pain.
Patients have symptoms of emotional instability, irritability and anxiety. When they are bored, they can't watch TV, and even feel uncomfortable when they hear talking. They are flustered, angry, nervous, fearful, sensitive and suspicious, aggrieved and prone to crying, pessimistic and disappointed, unwilling to see people, unwilling to talk, not interested in anything, unhappy with everything, depressed and distressed, and even feel bored in life, having difficulty falling asleep and having a shallow sleep.
Disorders of autonomic nerves can also lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction, such as loss of appetite, tasteless food, abdominal distension, nausea, burping, heartburn, chest tightness and shortness of breath, sighing, choking throat, and adverse throat. Some patients show headache, dizziness, heavy head tightness, dizziness and numbness, tight eyes, dryness, blurred vision, discomfort on face, limbs, neck and back.
Patients with autonomic nervous disorders are often mainly conscious symptoms. Although it has been checked many times, the results are often normal and nothing can be found. The above symptoms are often considered as psychosis, cerebral blood supply insufficiency, heart disease and gastrointestinal diseases, and the curative effect is often low or ineffective. In fact, these symptoms are closely related to autonomic nervous disorder. If you have the above symptoms and can't be cured for a long time, you can consider adjusting the autonomic nerve, and the symptoms will disappear soon.
Traditional Chinese medicine treatment mainly adopts the method of syndrome differentiation and treatment. Prescribing drugs according to different symptoms, generally speaking, is mainly divided into three treatment methods:
(1) Kidney yin deficiency syndrome: The clinical manifestations are menstrual disorder, shortened menstrual cycle, less or more menstrual cycle, or collapse or leakage, dizziness and tinnitus, paroxysmal cheek fever, hyperhidrosis, soreness of waist and knees, heel pain, or dry face, dry mouth and constipation, scanty urine, less red tongue coating and rapid pulse. Generally, Zuogui Pill and Erzhi Pill are used as prescriptions. If there are symptoms such as dry eyes, add or subtract Qiju Dihuang Pill; If you are upset, insomnia and dreaminess, add or subtract Lily Dihuang Decoction or Ganmai Jujube Decoction and Huanglian Ejiao Decoction.
(2) Kidney-yang deficiency syndrome: The clinical manifestations are menorrhagia, listlessness, dull complexion, cold pain in the back, long urination, frequent urination at night, edema of floating limbs, thin and white tongue coating and weak pulse. This recipe is modified by Gui You Pill.
(3) Deficiency of kidney yin and yang: The clinical manifestations are menstrual disorder, dizziness, tinnitus, amnesia, cold pain in the back, pale tongue, thin coating and weak pulse. Prescriptions generally use Erxian Decoction and Erzhi Pill. Commonly used Chinese patent medicines can be added or subtracted according to symptoms. If the symptoms of kidney deficiency are obvious, Chinese patent medicines such as Liuwei Dihuang Pill, Qiju Dihuang Pill, Maiwei Dihuang Pill, Baizhi Dihuang Pill and Bawei Dihuang Pill are selected. Insomnia and dysphoria are obvious symptoms, so Anshen Pills such as Zhusha Anshen Pill, Bai Zi Yangxin Pill, Tianwang Buxin Pill and Anshen Anzhi Pill are selected. For those with obvious depressive symptoms, Jiawei Xiaoyao Powder can be used. Bao Kun Pills selected by Tong Ren Tang from tens of thousands of famous prescriptions of ancient Chinese medicine show considerable advantages in treatment and health care, and are trusted by doctors and patients. Because the root cause of menopausal syndrome in men and women is liver and kidney deficiency, the choice of drugs is basically the same, especially Bao Kun Pill. When menopausal symptoms appear, men can choose without hesitation. If the problem of male sexual dysfunction is obvious, you can use Shen Rong San bian Pill, Baibu Zengri agent and other Chinese patent medicines to nourish Yang Can.
Pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and treatment of neurasthenia and autonomic dysfunction: neurasthenia and autonomic dysfunction are common diseases all over the world, ranking first among various neurosis. Because the main feature of the disease is the dysfunction of higher nerve center and autonomic nerve in the brain, patients not only have symptoms of brain dysfunction such as headache, dizziness, head swelling, head tension, head numbness, insomnia and memory loss, but also have symptoms of circulatory system, digestive system, endocrine metabolism and reproductive system dysfunction. The patient's conscious symptoms are diverse and his mental burden is extremely heavy. Many people, after various treatments, the curative effect is not satisfactory. When the examination is normal, they will worry that they have not found out any serious illness, and their thoughts will be very distressed. They will check and treat everywhere, wasting a lot of drugs, time and money.
The pathological mechanism of autonomic nervous dysfunction and neurasthenia is very complicated. Therefore, although neuropsychiatric experts at home and abroad have done a lot of research work on this, the cause is still unclear. After a lot of investigation and study by many neuropsychiatrists, it is generally believed that autonomic nervous disorder and neurasthenia are closely related to the following three factors:
1. Genetic factors: General neurasthenia patients are familial, but it does not mean that neurasthenia is caused by genetic factors, but can only be said to be the pathogenic factor of this disease.
2. Social factors, all kinds of psychological and social factors that lead to the overload of nervous system function will become the inducing factors of the disease. With the acceleration of the pace of modern life, while the economy is developing at a high speed, social industrialization, population urbanization, dense housing, traffic congestion, fierce competition, unemployment, unemployment and personal income disparity will make people nervous. Long-term psychological trauma, such as family disputes, unhappy marriage, lovelorn relationship, tense neighborhood relations, heavy work pressure, and disharmony between colleagues and superiors, can also make people too nervous and psychologically overloaded, resulting in neurasthenia and autonomic dysfunction. A large number of investigations have proved that the frequency of life events experienced by patients with autonomic nervous dysfunction in the year before onset is significantly higher than that of the control group. Too long mental time, heavy study burden, especially poor academic performance and frustration in major exams often lead to heavy mental burden, which is also an important reason for students' neurasthenia and autonomic nervous disorder. Modern research shows that mental stress can cause endocrine and autonomic nervous dysfunction.
3. Personality factors, autonomic nervous disorder and neurasthenia have a lot to do with people's personality. It is generally believed that people who are introverted and emotionally unstable are mostly sentimental, anxious and conservative, and are not good at communicating with others. If something happens in your heart, you can't vent it in time, which will inevitably lead to autonomic nervous disorder and long-term neurasthenia. However, the other group is also a high-risk group, short-tempered, narrow-minded and competitive. In other words, introverted and grumpy people are high-risk groups of autonomic nervous disorder and neurasthenia.
Generally speaking, the etiology and pathology of neurasthenia and autonomic nerve dysfunction are not completely clear, but most neuropsychiatric experts believe that it is caused by nerve function, involving social environment, family environment, psychological factors, personality and many other contents.
The names neurasthenia and autonomic nervous disorder are familiar to everyone. Although the name cannot accurately reflect the nature of the disease, it can be literally understood as a disease in which mental and physical activities are weakened due to brain nerve dysfunction. Everyone has a spirit * * *, and everyone has experienced unpleasant things. However, not everyone will have autonomic dysfunction and neurasthenia. Therefore, these patients also have their own internal factors at work. In terms of personality, most patients are inferior, sensitive and introverted, while some patients are competitive and have poor self-control. In addition, some patients also occur after a certain disease, which may be caused by physical diseases weakening the neurological function of patients. Some women have autonomic nervous dysfunction after mastectomy and hysterectomy, which is caused by postoperative endocrine disorder.
In the past, people had some headaches and insomnia, which was neurasthenia. At present, autonomic nervous dysfunction often occurs in the world, mainly manifested as irritability, anxiety, emotional instability, anxiety, paranoia, anger, tension, fear, fidgeting, uncertainty, injustice, crying, no pleasure, no talking, no meeting with people, lack of interest, difficulty in sleeping, MUBI, easy fatigue and so on. Dizziness, stuffy and heavy hair, nausea and numbness in the head, head swelling, tight scalp, tense and sore muscles, especially at the back of the neck, sour, hard, tight and heavy eyes, dryness, easy to catch a cold, numbness and swelling in the subjective hands and feet, fever in the hands and feet, fever in the whole body, but normal body temperature, sudden hot shower, sweating and fever. Qi in ribs, pain and discomfort, excessive sensitivity to external light, sound, cold and heat, frequent urination, constipation or loose stool, unstable blood pressure, menstrual disorder, sexual dysfunction, etc. Due to lack of timely treatment or long-term treatment, some patients suspect that they are seriously ill. Over time, patients have suicidal tendencies. At the same time, it is heavy in the morning and light at night. Lighten up when you are in a good mood and aggravate when you are angry. I feel sick all over, but all kinds of tests are normal.
Vegetative nerve dysfunction, neurasthenia, the course of which often lasts for several years, are curable diseases, which should be treated according to the etiology, supplemented by psychological conditioning, and finally achieve complete recovery.
When we treat neurasthenia and autonomic nervous dysfunction, we use traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine as a control. It is found that when western medicine is used to treat this disease, the short-term curative effect is good for those with short medical history and mild illness, but the long-term curative effect is poor, and the recurrence rate is about 70% after withdrawal. However, the Chinese medicine group found that it has a long history and disease regulator, so it will treat both the symptoms and the root causes. Generally, the patient's condition will be obviously relieved in a short time, and clinical rehabilitation can be achieved in more than one month. After consolidation treatment, he will fully recover, and the recurrence rate is extremely low. Patients who have been cured for a long time have a very good curative effect and a low recurrence rate, only about 30%.
Therefore, when we treat neurasthenia and autonomic nerve dysfunction, we can adopt two treatment schemes. Short medical history and few symptoms, western medicine should be used first, then Chinese medicine. Coupled with psychological conditioning, the patient will recover soon. Patients with long medical history and many symptoms are treated with traditional Chinese medicine. The curative effect is very obvious. Generally, the condition will be obviously relieved within one week, and it rarely recurs after recovery.
Aiming at the etiology and pathology of autonomic nerve disorder and neurasthenia, and the effect of traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment, a series of special prescriptions were developed for them. Used for irritability, anxiety, fear, nervousness, depression, insomnia and dreaminess. We adopt the method of removing annoyance and relieving depression, aiming at gastrointestinal dysfunction, eating, abdominal distension and burping. We regulate qi and stomach, and we treat diseases with nerves.
