(1) Relieve psychological pressure
Small-minded old people are also under great pressure. This is because a lot of things are in my heart, I can't say it, I can't let it go. The pressure is naturally great. A person is always burdened with pressure, what kind of state will it be. Can you be okay? If a person is generous and forgives everything, including others' harm to himself, then this person must be useless. Without baggage, life and work will be very happy, and happiness will come to us at any time.
(2) Make psychological adjustment.
Be prepared for stress. We should fully realize that entering old age will inevitably bring stress due to diseases and other reasons, and be psychologically prepared for some negative effects caused by it, so as not to panic for a while and aggravate the pressure. Keep a normal mind and try to learn to adapt to changes in the environment.
Evaluate yourself correctly. Tear off the mask of "the strong" and admit that you are just an ordinary old man. Don't embarrass yourself, don't set your goals unattainable, do everything according to your abilities, and changing or adjusting your goals is not necessarily the behavior of the weak. Admitting that we are ordinary will not harm the dignity of our elderly people, but will help to maintain a balance of mind.
(3) learn to stabilize the heart rhythm
The average person's heart rate is about 70 beats per minute. When you are angry, especially when you have a face-to-face argument, your heart rate will definitely increase, thus increasing the burden on your heart. If a person always refuses to forgive others' mistakes and gets angry, it is difficult for his heart rate to return to the normal range. Therefore, when things happen, we should learn to be tolerant. We are not so hostile to others, which is not only conducive to harmonious relationship, but also conducive to the stability of our heart rhythm.
(4) Reasonable arrangement of life
Slow down your work and life. If you are overwhelmed by the intense work and life, you'd better choose to relax immediately or slow down, which will make you better and more relaxed.
Reasonable arrangement of work and rest time. Strictly implement your own work and rest system, so that life, study and work can be carried out regularly.
Enrich your spare time and develop your hobbies. Interest in life can make people feel comfortable. Taking part in painting, calligraphy, playing chess, sports and other activities can increase the fun of life, adjust the pace of life and help you get rid of the monotonous and tense atmosphere.
Communicate emotionally with others. People need help and should learn to make more friends. For example, you can make friends with psychologists in order to get effective help and advice; Talk to friends and relatives more, which helps to express normal feelings; Mutual care and care between family and friends is very important for mental health.
(5) Be good at communicating with people.
Family harmony is the guarantee of our psychological happiness and happiness in our later years, so we old people should handle the relationship between career and family well. When getting along with others, we need to cultivate a broad and open mind. Try to be kind to others, be clear about big things and be confused about small things, and don't haggle over small things. Open-minded, broad-minded, can avoid a lot of unnecessary "idleness", which is good for yourself and others.
(6) Take part in sports regularly
Most studies show that both endurance exercise training and aerobic exercise training have moderate antihypertensive effects. Patients with mild hypertension, especially those who lack exercise, can lower their blood pressure, lose weight and reduce heart complications through endurance exercise training such as brisk walking, running, cycling, swimming and skiing. However, people with moderate to severe hypertension and older people should avoid competitive sports.
(7) choose qigong therapy
The basic essentials of qigong exercise for hypertensive patients are: calming the heart and calming the nerves, relaxing the body, harmonizing qi-flowing, combining static and dynamic, treating according to syndrome differentiation and step by step. The key is to stick to it seriously, once or twice a day, and exercise for 30 minutes each time according to the procedure. According to the observation of the curative effect of Qigong on preventing and treating hypertension in China for more than 30 years, Qigong therapy has good effects of lowering blood pressure, stabilizing curative effect, reducing medication, improving symptoms, reducing complications and improving prognosis.
(8) Choose music therapy
Elderly patients with hypertension, on the basis of taking antihypertensive drugs, try music therapy to help lower blood pressure, which also has good results. The hypotensive effect of music is mainly realized through the emotional influence and physical effect of music on people.
Relaxed and cheerful concerts make people feel happy and can affect people's cerebral cortex. This positive stimulation helps to lower blood pressure. On the other hand, beautiful music can affect people's hearing organs through the physical action of sound, and then affect the activities of muscles, blood circulation system and other organs, and can also play a certain role in lowering blood pressure.
Patients with hypertension may wish to listen to more music in their spare time, and it is best to choose some relaxing music, such as light music, waves on the beach or birds singing. It is best to habitually listen to a piece of music before going to bed every night, which can not only relax the nervous body and mind of the day, but also lower blood pressure more significantly than other periods.
(9) Other non-drug therapies
In addition to the above methods, we elderly people can also choose to lose weight, limit salt, quit smoking, control drinking and other measures to lower blood pressure. A group study in the United States pointed out that weight control can reduce the incidence of hypertension in blacks by 25%, and weight loss is suitable for all hypertensive patients, especially obese people. Others, such as alcoholics, smokers and salt eaters, can also successfully lower their blood pressure by abstaining from alcohol and controlling it.
