In the fall, the old-age rheumatism arthritis needs special attention.

By the autumn, the old-age rheumatism arthritis in the southern region will require special attention in the day-to-day life of the autumn, as follows:Living• Attention to heat protection: in the southern autumn, temperature has sometimes fluctuated, colder early and later, and air moisture is relatively high. Older persons need to be equipped in a timely manner, especially in joints, with knee and wrist protection. To avoid living in a damp environment, it is necessary to maintain indoor dry ventilation and, if necessary, to use de-wetting equipment, as the humid and cold environment is prone to the onset of rheumatism. • Regularity: Maintaining adequate and regular sleep is important for the physical recovery and immunity of older persons. As much as possible, sleep and uptime at the same time every day is guaranteed for approximately 7-8 hours. The time of the fall sun is gradually reduced, and some extra outdoor time is appropriate during the day to adjust the biological bell, but care is taken to avoid overwork. Catering• Nutritional balance: The diet should be rich in proteins, vitamins, minerals, etc. High-quality proteins can be obtained from skinny meat, fish, eggs, beans and beans, helping to maintain muscle strength and body repair. More fresh vegetables and fruits, such as spinach, broccoli, apples, oranges and so on, supplement various nutrients, such as vitamins C and D, where vitamin D is useful for calcium absorption and bone health and is important for rheumatism patients. • Appropriate increase in caloric intake: In the autumn, colder weather requires more energy to keep the body warm and can appropriately increase some high-heat but healthy foods, such as whole grains, nuts, etc., but be careful to control the volume and avoid an increased burden on the joints from overweight. • Beware of dietary impropriety: minimizing the consumption of spicy, greasy, irritating and cold foods, which may exacerbate the effects of arthritis. In addition, some elderly patients may be allergic to or insatiable to certain foods, such as seafood, and be careful not to eat to induce discomfort. Physical exercise• The principle of proportionality: proper exercise is important for maintaining joint activity, enhancing muscle strength and improving body functioning, but older persons need to have a good grip. A more moderate way of moving, such as walking, can be chosen to avoid excessive activity. Exercise time may be chosen in a warmer morning or afternoon, for about 30 minutes to one hour at a time, with a slight body sweating but not a feeling of excessive fatigue. • Joint exercise: Simple joint exercise can be performed on a daily basis, such as slowly stretching fingers, wrists, moving ankles, knees, etc., with several groups repeated for each move in order to maintain the flexibility of the joint and prevent its rigidity. Disease surveillance and drug use management• Attention to changing conditions: older persons themselves need to be aware of changes in symptoms such as joint pain, swelling, rigidity, etc., and to inform their families and provide medical attention in the event of increased symptoms or new discomforts, such as fever, inactivity, etc. At the same time, regular visits to hospitals are required, and it is generally recommended that relevant indicators, such as blood sank, C-reaction protein, rheumatism, etc., be reviewed every three to six months in order for doctors to be aware of the progress of the situation and to adjust the treatment programme. • Regulation of the use of medicines: The medication for the treatment of rheumatism is taken on time and at the appropriate rate, in strict compliance with the instructions of the doctor, and does not increase or stop the drug. In the autumn, factors such as weather change may affect the state of the disease, and more attention should be paid to the regulation of the use of medicines. Some of the drugs may have some side effects, such as gastrointestinal discomfort, and in case of adverse reactions, contact the doctor in a timely manner. Psychological adjustmentMaintaining a positive mindset: Rheumatism is a chronic disease, and long-term illness can cause psychological stress, anxiety and depression among older persons. In the autumn, images of cooler weather and Zero grass may also affect the mood. The care and support of the family and the efforts of the elderly themselves to adapt their mentalities, to enrich their lives and to maintain positive optimism through participation in social events and the development of hobbies, may also help to control the situation.
