Currently in the hot period of San Fu Tian, which is the hottest period of the year. Due to extreme weather conditions during this time, various diseases are also more prevalent, making it a very difficult period for the elderly.
However, many people may not realize that San Fu Tian is actually a critical period for health maintenance, especially for the elderly. Developing good daily routines and dietary habits can be very helpful for health and even contribute to longevity.
Key points for the elderly during San Fu Tian: Do not take 3 baths, do not consume 3 types of foods, do not engage in 3 activities, to promote longevity.
Avoid taking cold showers.
During the hot San Fu Tian period, taking a shower is common for cooling down the body and maintaining personal hygiene. However, for the elderly, it is important to control the water temperature while showering and avoid cold water showers.
Having a cold shower may allow a large amount of cold and dampness to invade the body, seriously affecting the normal functioning of the body and being detrimental to health.
Avoid showering right after meals. After a meal, the body may feel heated, prompting some to take a shower to cool down. However, the elderly should avoid showering immediately after eating a full meal.
After eating, a significant amount of blood flows into the stomach to aid digestion and absorption. Showering right after eating can lead to digestive discomfort and affect blood supply to the heart.
Avoid immediate shower after exercise. In the hot weather of San Fu Tian, people tend to sweat a lot after exercising and may prefer to shower immediately to feel refreshed.
However, it is not advisable to shower right after exercising, especially for the elderly who may have weaker constitutions. Showering immediately after exercise can significantly impact blood supply to the heart and brain, leading to a feeling of discomfort.
Avoid 3 types of foods.
Avoid cold beverages as they may stimulate the intestines and cause health issues, potentially leading to rheumatic diseases.
Do not consume barbecue and beer. While summer is a popular time for BBQs and beer, this combination can pose health risks due to the harmful substances generated during BBQ and the increased risk of gout with beer consumption.
Avoid greasy foods. During the hot San Fu Tian period, it is advisable for the elderly to consume light, easily digestible food. Opt for fresh vegetables and fruits over greasy foods, which can hinder digestion, increase internal heat, and induce discomfort.
Avoid 3 activities.
Elderly individuals should adhere to regular mealtimes to avoid burdening their digestive system, preventing functional disorders and a decrease in overall health.
Spending all day in air-conditioned rooms can be detrimental to health. Poor air circulation in such rooms can lead to illness, impede sweat evaporation, and decrease immune function. Therefore, ensure timely ventilation in air-conditioned rooms, maintaining a temperature no lower than 26 degrees Celsius.
Prolonged sitting can disrupt normal blood circulation, resulting in insufficient blood supply, reduced toxin elimination, and metabolism issues, negatively impacting health. Encourage the elderly to avoid prolonged sitting and engage in regular physical activity to boost vitality, immunity, and longevity.
