More than 60 years? Stop making these coronavirus errors without realizing it

The advice of this doctor will save your life - and it is saved.


He h! I am almost 60 myself - and I just realized that I write this article for me, as well as for you! As a doctor, I know that none of us wants to be infected with this miserable coronavirus, Covid-19. So, what do we have "higher risk". What do we do wrong, in our quest to ward off this potentially fatal infection?

1

Error: You are lying on the couch

We are in such a shocking situation right now, it's easy to get hurt on the couch under a blanket. Is it you? However, for people of our age, we must remember that our metabolism slows down by5% per decade. This means we get older, we need fewer calories and more exercises! You must get up from the sofa, stay active and restrict your calorie intake.

2

So be more conscious of your weight!

You know that the hip bone is connected to the thigh - right? Well, your weight is connected to your immune system. To fight the coronavirus, you have to try to lose weight, not eat Ben & Jerry on the couch and become heavier. If we do not do it, we will emerge from this even more heavy and more unhealthy crisis.

3

Error: You do not pump your heart

As we get older, our hearts age too. Cardiac diseases cause 20% of premature deaths in men and women aged 65 to 744 years. It's very sad because we can keep our young and healthy hearts, simply by doing like nature and get up the couch and take out the gateway!

As for the Pesky virus, this is important because Wuhan's experience, where the virus was isolated for the first time, those who were admitted to the hospital and led to the worst elderly people with health problems, including arterial hypertension, diabetes and coronary cardiopathy.

4

So let's make moderate exercise!

So: Love your heart! Continue to pump! Did you know that 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week reduce your risk of coronary illness by 14%?

5

Error: You are not for walks

Refuge

You do not have to sweat doing things you hate. All you have to do is put one foot in front of the other and walking. It does not necessarily have to be a huge amount. Dr. Harvey Simon, Associate Professor at the Harvard-Affiliate Massachusetts General Hospital, pointed out that people who work only 15 minutes a day have 3 years of extra life expectancy!

6

So go for this walk!

We are allowed to walk - even on the lock (if you stay at six feet from others). It's a good way to spend time. Stroll fast enough to feel a little out of breath and punctuate your heart. Put music and head there! The time has come.

7

Error: you eat red meat

Refuge

You will not want that, but you and me both, we need to cut fast food and red meat. Before moaning and stop reading, I want to tell you something. This size around your environment is your abdominal fat - and if you dig in the middle of the middle, you will find a visceral fat. It is dangerous fat that is wrapped around all your internal organs.

Visceral grease is an active fabric producing hormones associated with severe medical conditions. They cause chronic inflammation that is in turn associated with atherosclerosis, diabetes, dementia and cancer. And guess what:Chronic inflammationdamages your immune system.

8

So try a plant-based hamburger!

If you want to survive coronavirus, cut red meat and eat herbal food instead. This is not a difficult thing to do - a lot of taste like meat - and it could save your life.

Error: You have forgotten your influenza shot

Refuge

Only 45% of American adults had avaccine against influenza, and that was 6% of the previous year. Experts recommend an annual to all American citizens of more than 6 months.

I put this here because, although the jab of the flu is not a Vaccine for Covid-19, the last thing one of us needs to do right now is to get sick of any other preventable disease. If we got the flu and were admitted to the hospital, we could very well contract Covid-19 during our admission to the hospital! In addition, being vaccinated shows that you take responsibility for your health and try staying away from the doctor's office. (When there is a Covid-19 vaccine, we must be first in the queue!)

10

So, inquire about this jab

11

Error: You did not have your BMS examined

I suppose a suppose I'm not alone here because I bet many others read it has never been circumvented either! You know what? It's time to get real - it's your coca or your life! Here's why.

Like all aspects of medicine, prevention is better than cure. And thus early detection. The intestine cancer can be undetected for long periods, possibly years, during which it can be successfully treated. You can be completely unconscious as you have it.

Having cancer weakens your immune system and makes you more sensitive to infections, including COVID-19. The time has come to be screened and getting peace of mind, or if you have it, get a treatment and go well. And your sample of Poo is indeed something you can make home!

12

So ask yourself to check!

TheCDC recommendsAll peoples over 50 and 75 have an annual POO test. They test three things: blood, antibodies and cancer DNA. I am a doctor and I did it. The clinic staff saw everything before! There is no need to be aware of self. They will post a kit and you post it. Continue and do something that could save your life today!

13

Error: You caught another bottle of beer

Refuge

Unfortunately for all of us, repeatedly pour alcohol into the gut is not good for our immune system. It's very easy to feel cooperated earlier and think everyone does it too - so why not? However, think again. The health of your immune system is vital right now. If you get the infection, you need a fast and powerful immune response.

14

Exchange this third beer for that

15

Error: You are depressed, thinking "I can not be disturbed"

Refuge

Is it you? Many seniors say they have no energy, no motivation to do anything, even if they do not feel sad. This may be due to depression.

Just because you are older does not mean you should be depressed.

Staying at home, especially if you live alone, can increase only feelings of isolation. And we are all in this set now - stuck in the house - with only ourselves for the company. Medical evidence now exist to support the fact that the mind and body are closely related - and yes,depressionCan weaken your immune response.

Regular socializations and physical exercises stimulate cerebral health. What can you do if you acknowledge this model, facing Covid-19 and rent?

16

Here's how to become undepressed

Here are some ideas on how you can improve things for yourself:

  • Eat well-you are what you eat. Take an interest in your food. Keep a food log.
  • Get out in the garden, on the balcony or even sitting with an open window. Sunlight and fresh air will help.
  • Sleeping better than you can. Have a good daily routine and a good fate. Not sleeping more than 7 to 9 hours is recommended for adults.
  • Contact friends and family by phone, skype or video call. Try to be happy and upbeat and find out what others do to stay busy at this difficult time.
  • To laugh! Find comedy programs on television or radio. Laughter is therapeutic.
  • Volunteerhelp others.
  • Talk to your GP by phone. Antidepressants work well and are essential for some. Many people suffering from depression also suffer from anxiety and antidepressants can have a calming effect.

It's the spirit on matter! There is really the power of positive thinking!

17

Error: You went shopping online!

To what extent is it easy to do now at the time of the absence of time by clicking on the buttons on the Internet? In times of crisis, purchases can become addictive, a recognized psychological condition and gives us a sense of control. However, think about the carbon footprint of buying and online delivery, as well as the fact that this involves the movement of people, what we are trying to avoid in terms of propagation of the virus.

18

How to buy more intelligently

Refuge

Buy only what you need. Always use trusted sites. Check yourUS Pharmacy License Councilbefore making a purchase. And remember each time you buy something, someone else was likely to deliver them.

19

Error: You forgot to take your blood pressure medications!

Refuge

You're not alone. Did you know that 125,000 US citizens die each year because they did not take their medications properly? This can have serious consequences. For example, this can lead to poorly controlled diabetes, poor blood pressure control and increased risk of a heart attack or cerebral stroke.

Chronic disease weakens the immune system. This is why the underlying health conditions make people more susceptible to infections, including COVID-19.

20

So manage your medicine better!

Refuge

We must all try to manage our health conditions at home our best and start by taking medications as indicated. Here are some ideas for what to do:

  • Read about your medicine and understand what it is for you and how to do it better.
  • You can read the patient's information manual inside the pill package or, for example, visit a trusted website, such asDrogered.com
  • Use a calendar or set an alarm for example on your phone to remind you that it's time to take it.
  • Use a doseette. It's a pillbox with divided compartments for morning, lunch and night. You can ask for help from our pharmacist, family and friends to put the right pills in each box in advance for a month.
21

Error: You had another day of duvet

At present, it is very tempting to stay in bed. I stopped adjusting my awakening - what is the point - and I can easily be in bed at noon. People of our age are more likely to be retired or maybe work from home.

Sleep is a fascinating subject. So often, we have read on the dangers of insomnia. But just maybe we should focus on the dangers of too much sleep? Adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night, according to theNational Sleep Association. This also applies to the elderly person.

22

Sleep well but sleeping right

Help your immune system and your well-being sleeping 7-9 hours per night if you can. The next morning - it's better for the duvet for another exciting day on the planet!

Final thoughts of the doctor

Refuge

Well, people, it seems like us, ancient, the elders are only lazy, Bed-Ridden Shopaholics, who shudder the Big Mac and Ben and Jerry, and do not respond to health messages! But seriously: Covid-19 means we have to start taking responsibility for our own health. No amount of hand and face washing masks can repair our weakened immune systems - the desire to change must come from within.

I think we should take Covid-19 as a waking call and do this time right now, that we all make a commitment to live healthier and happier lives.

I'm ready for that?

And to cross this pandemic with your healthiest, do not miss these40 things you should never touch because of coronavirus.
