Old people in the north had a hard time in winter, but now they are doing well. Cold is no longer a big problem, but they are in danger when they fall. Wrestling threatens the elderly's ability to live independently. Many people are unwilling or unwilling to tell the doctor that they have fallen. They are afraid that wrestling may limit the activities of some elderly people, leading to their life becoming more and more depressed, unable to participate in social activities, declining physical fitness, becoming more vulnerable and more depressed.

Enhance physical fitness and change sedentary habits. Because the most direct reason for the elderly to fall is the weakening of muscle strength and the decline of bone strength, and the reduction of activity will greatly promote the loss of muscle and bone, so we should encourage the elderly to maintain physical activity and physical exercise within the tolerance range.

Some elderly people have lumbar compression fractures after wrestling, but the pain is not obvious; There are also elderly people with hip fractures after wrestling, but because the pain is not obvious, they can still walk, so they feel fine. The problem that could have been solved by a minor operation was ignored, and the most serious consequence was that the artificial joint had to be replaced.

Balanced and adequate nutrition is also necessary for the elderly, and improper dieting is not good. In addition, the elderly often take too much medicine, which will also increase the risk of falling. Compared with age, keeping blood pressure and blood sugar at a relatively low level will also increase the risk of falling. Do enough stretching before exercise. For example, lifting legs, bending over, etc. Let your body relax gradually before starting formal exercise. Choose the right sports shoes and sportswear. Sports shoes and sportswear should be light, not too heavy.

Pay attention to calcium and potassium supplementation to prevent osteoporosis. Pay attention to calcium supplementation in the diet of two meals a day, such as eating eggs and drinking milk in the morning, drinking soybean milk at noon, using shrimp skin instead of salt in cooking, and eating more foods with high calcium content. Pay attention to potassium supplementation, increase physical strength, and eat more fruits containing more potassium, such as oranges and grapefruit. For the elderly who are inconvenient and slow to move, someone should accompany them when they go out. Don't let them go alone. The crutch on the hand post plays an auxiliary role. Although environmental danger is the primary cause of wrestling, gait and balance disorder are also important factors. The risk of falling due to weak lower limb strength quadruples. Strength training and balance activities help to reduce the risk of wrestling.
