10 ways for senior citizens to prevent from diseases of the spine
Increasingly sophisticated medical facilities have increased the age limit, thus increasing the number of elderly people. Bone and spine diseases that come with older age are also increasing.
In this article we will see how we can prevent the disease and what we can treat if it occurs.
What are the problems of elderly people?
- Back pain (lumbar pain)
- Neck pain
- Brittle bones
- Vertebral fracture
- Age-related spinal cord diabetes
- Tremors
- Depression
- Forgetfulness
- Thyroid
- High blood pressure
- Adverse effects on bones
- Side effects due to pressure on the spinal nerve: discomfort in walking, loss of urine and bowel control. Ambulation due to weakness in limbs.
Prevention is better than cure
1. Diet:
rich in vitamins and high protein.
2. Exercise:
45 minutes to 1 hour of regular exercise every day.
Instead of 45 minutes or 1 hour of exercise, it is more suitable to exercise in two or three stages.
3. Walking, rotating all the joints 10 times (clockwise and anti-clockwise) should be practiced Pranayama.
4. Sitting in the sun for one hour every morning for vitamin-D.
5. Proper treatment of osteoporosis.
6. Calcium and vitamin D3 tablets and calcium injection to check bone density. (Once a year)
7. Get a full body check-up every year or every two years on your birthday. Therefore, diseases that can be avoided or treated early can be overcome.
8. Walkers or canes should be used while walking.
9. Antiskid tiles should be used in the bathroom.
10. There should be railings on the stairs.
After waking up from sleep, wait for 30 seconds for 1 minute and then stand up and start walking slowly. This reduces the incidence of vertigo.
If the spine problem starts, if it is examined and diagnosed by a specialist doctor, it can be properly and quickly remedied.
