1. Go to bed late and get up early

Summer is about paying attention to your own healthy life. Especially in hot summer, it is very important to pay attention to healthy living habits. In summer, the sunshine hours are longer and the days are longer and the nights are more obvious. The elderly may wish to adjust their work and rest time in this season to adapt to the changes in nature. It is recommended that the bedtime is before 10 pm and the wake-up time is around 6 am. Take a short nap at noon every day, but the nap time should not be too long, generally half an hour is appropriate. Do not get up immediately after waking up from a nap, because the blood supply to the brain is insufficient at this time, which will cause temporary brain dysfunction and make people feel dizzy. It is best to lie still for 10 minutes before getting up.

2. Eat a light diet

A healthy diet is also very important. Timely care and adjustment of daily life also have many benefits for our health. Pay attention to hygiene. The digestive function of the elderly in summer is relatively poor, so they should eat a light diet. Try to eat as much fresh food that is easy to digest and nutritious. Try to avoid or reduce eating overnight food. The diet should also be regular and quantitative, and should not be overly full. If you are too hungry, you can eat some fresh and clean fruits between meals. Summer is the season when gastrointestinal diseases are most common. It is also the season when more fruits are on the market. Pay attention to dietary hygiene to prevent food poisoning.

3. Prevent heatstroke, avoid moisture, and beware of diseases

In summer, we must pay attention to preventing heatstroke. The harm caused to our bodies by the heat of several summers cannot be ignored. Summer is hot and humid, so the elderly should avoid or reduce going out on hot days. When they really need to go out, they should wear a straw hat or a parasol, and do not let the sun shine directly on their head. In particular, the frail and sick elderly should avoid walking or being exposed to the sun in order to prevent Heatstroke. You should change and wash clothes that are wet with sweat frequently, bathe frequently to keep your skin clean and prevent skin diseases. You should also pay more attention to keeping warm at night to avoid being cold and causing diseases.
