Prevention of foot complications

Because the elderly have progressive arteriosclerosis, such as peripheral nerve disorder, it is easy to have itchy feet and bad marks. Therefore, keep your feet clean, keep your nails clean, and wear shoes with proper size, good softness and warmth to avoid scratching your feet. Check the color of foot skin every day to see if the skin is damaged. If it is damaged, handle it in time. Wash feet with warm water every day, massage feet and legs, and promote blood circulation. The poor metabolism and circulatory function of the elderly leads to the weakening of arterial elasticity, which leads to the occurrence of many senile diseases. Besides often taking part in outdoor activities, massage also plays a considerable role. Massage can not only promote blood circulation, but also relieve the mental stress of the elderly and improve their mental state.
