As people age, the body gradually loses its flexibility and the ability to effectively regulate blood pressure. High or low blood pressure in the elderly is not merely about abnormal numbers; it is a warning sign of serious health risks such as stroke, heart attack, heart failure, or kidney failure. Therefore, maintaining a safe blood …
In today’s stressful modern life, sleep quality is increasingly threatened, especially in the elderly. Difficulty sleeping, restless sleep, or waking up in the middle of the night not only affects the spirit but also indirectly increases the risk of high blood pressure. In that context, the method of soaking your feet before bed, a simple, …
Arthritis is a general term for over 100 conditions related to joint inflammation and degeneration. Among older adults, the most common form is osteoarthritis, a condition characterized by the gradual wear and tear of joint cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and joint deformity. Aging brings many physiological changes to the human body, with …
Safe weight loss in the elderly is a major but necessary challenge, especially as aging increasingly affects overall health, particularly the skeletal system. As the body grows older, the metabolic rate slows down, mobility becomes limited, and the risk of chronic conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, and diabetes increases. Excess body weight places significant pressure …
For older adults, sleep and blood pressure are two of the most important health concerns that need attention every day. As we age, the body undergoes many changes, nervous system function gradually declines, sleep becomes lighter and shorter, it’s easier to wake up at night, and blood pressure tends to fluctuate or rise silently. If …
High blood pressure is a condition in which the pressure of blood on the artery walls is higher than normal. At normal levels, the two indexes of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure are 120/80 mmHg. When the systolic blood pressure index > 140mmHg and or diastolic blood pressure > 90mmHg, the patient has …
A good night’s sleep and stable blood pressure are two crucial factors that help elderly individuals maintain good health, mental clarity, and a better quality of life. However, one often-overlooked factor that silently sabotages sleep and disrupts blood pressure is the evening diet. Many older adults are unaware that certain familiar foods, though seemingly harmless, …
When entering old age, sleep is no longer as easy as when young. Many elderly people often have difficulty sleeping, sleep intermittently, or wake up in the middle of the night and have difficulty falling back asleep. These symptoms seem normal with age, but in fact, they pose many potential health risks, especially high blood …
High blood pressure (also known as hypertension) is a condition in which the force of blood pushing against the artery walls is always higher than normal. This makes the heart work harder and gradually damages the blood vessels. If not well controlled, high blood pressure can lead to dangerous complications such as: Stroke, Myocardial infarction, …
Arthritis is a common chronic condition in older adults, significantly impacting mobility and quality of life. Pain, stiffness, and reduced joint movement can lead to disability if unmanaged. One major risk factor is excess weight, which places additional pressure on joints like the knees, hips, and spine, accelerating degeneration and inflammation. Why Weight Loss Matters …
